had not beaten me to it. He looked at a picture of both Anora’s family and mine labeled “Jane & Dee, 2002.” It was just after my mom and Mrs. Jane had won a Nobel Prize; Anora and I were each holding onto our mothers in the picture. My dad, who had been taking the picture, had tried to include himself in the photo but had made his face block half the photo and completely cut Mr. Jane from the photograph. As I looked at the picture, I realized why it had made Brinley faint. My dad was the mysterious ghost. It all made sense now; Kranie had always had a thing for dad. She must have been jealous and sabotaged what she knew dad loved most, his car. Whenever she hit us, it had only been to show dad what had happened to the car, not to kill him. Daddy must have been talking about Kranie coming back so that he could have his revenge on her. That did not explain the strange fog or the other ghost though.
“Stay with Brinley; get some help, okay? Don’t leave; I’m going to see where the fog came from,” I told Anora as I ran out the house. I ran the way that the fog seemed to have come and soon I was at Mrs. Jane’s lab. The closer I came to the lab, the colder it became. Inside was a bucket with some water and a huge chunk of dry ice. I heard someone whistling, so I hid behind the big bucket.
“Honey? Did you come back yet?” I heard Mrs. Jane ask. I saw my dad step out from a closet, and I felt stupid for not noticing it earlier.
“Yes, Gloria, I’m back. I think it worked. Caylor’s back and I can finally finish the job. You’ll give Tom and Caylor the poison, and you, Anora, and I will live a happy, normal life,” my dad whispered into Mrs. Jane’s ear saying Mr. Jane’s name in a mocking tone.
“What about Kranie? She stopped you from killing Caylor last time. Why wouldn’t she this time? After how she keeps going on about the pig scare, our pig scare, she just wouldn’t understand why we had to kill,” Mrs. Jane questioned.
“She won’t because she trusts you, but that trust must be betrayed. Tonight you will give her some sweet wine to go with supper. Tomorrow her hangover might just be so bad she won’t wake up ever again! Forget the pigs, they got what they deserved, almost ruining my plan with all that squealing they did as I got out of the car.” Dad exclaimed.
It all made sense, more this time than the last... My dad had framed Kranie, and he had used Anora’s own insanity to do it. Kranie had saved my life whenever she bumped into us and crashed into the back window, making my easy escape. Dad had killed Mum in an attempt to create the perfect family with Mrs. Jane, and Mrs. Jane had let him. She was even willing to kill her own husband. The fog had seemed like it was coming from the lab because it was. I jumped up really fast and ran with all my might to the house to warn everybody.
Back in London, things where just getting back to normal when a call came from Anora.
“Hello, Caylor! I was just calling to be the first to let you know that the lake overflowed, so they’re making half of the water go into the river and the other half into a new mini river. They’re going to name it River Dee after your family. Who knows? Maybe soon the water in the lake will become low enough that we can properly bury your mother. Speaking of which, was she the other ghost do you think- the one who warned us?” Anora’s questions became longer with each phone call.
“You know, Anora, I’ve been thinking about that a lot. I just figure that wherever she is she’s looking over me, and that’s enough for me.”
