Ghost problem 2

Lucinda was stuck between a rock and a hard place and knew something was wrong because of the way Medusa sounded on the phone, which made her worried. She screwed up her face, still holding the tap, when a man wearing a blue overall and an employee walked into the bathroom. They were both staring at the ground.

"How did all this happen?" The employee inquired.

"You can go now." Ralph declared, staring at him.

"But you haven't...." Ralph cut in.

"Get out!!" Ralph declared, glaring at him. He gulped and walked out of the bathroom.

The plumber had already taken the tap from Lucinda and was trying to prevent the water from coming out with a soft cloth he shoved in the mouth of the place where the water was rushing from. He turned to look at Ralph.

"How did all this happen?" He inquired.

"It's a long story. Can you fix it?" Ralph inquired as Lucinda began tiptoeing out of the office when he noticed her and grabbed her hand.

"I can fix it, but it will be very hard." He lamented.

"It's okay. Isn't that your job? I will pay you." Ralph assured He was staring at Lucinda, who was smiling nervously at him as he raised his brow and held tightly to her hand. 

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked bluntly.

"Medusa is in trouble and she needs me." Lucinda muttered.

"Which kind of trouble you can't go alone it will be dangerous." He remarked.

"So what do you want me to do? I have to go. You can't come with me. You need to look for a way to fix this mess here." She stated.

"I will." He beamed. She started trying to remove his hand from hers. 

"You are not going anywhere till we fix this mess together." Ralph declared confidently.

"But Medusa..." He put his hand on her lips.

"Shh, let's go grab the mop and clean the floor." He stated dragging her out of the room as she screwed up her face, running after him.

They both started mopping the floor, guiding the water out of the water drainer at the back of the office. 

Lucinda was mopping in one spot, lost in thought, wondering why Medusa sounded that way. Her brother isn't trying to kill her, is he? She thought Ralph noticed that she was lost.

He moved over to her and used his mop to hit her, jerking her back to reality. 

She sighed, staring at him.

"I know you are worried about your sister, but I can't let you go. You are my girlfriend now and also my responsibility. I won't forgive myself if something bad happens to you." He muttered.

She groaned, stroking her hair backwards.

"I am not used to being protected by someone." She muttered.

"Don't worry, you will come around." He stated, tapping her shoulder as they continued mopping.

They both got tired and sat on top of Ralph's desk staring at each other.
