Walking to his car together with Priscy and Ray, Leo opened the front door ready to go in and noticed his wrist watch missing from his wrist.
''My watch, where did I leave it?'' he frowned.
''Your watch is missing? Did it fall off?'' Priscy asked looking at his wrist.
''I think so too, you two should go without me. I will be home after finding my watch''
''Is the watch that important to you?'' Ray asked.
''Lizzy gave it to me on my birthday, I can't loss it''
''We will go without you then'' Ray said, going over to his car and Priscy joined him.
....
''No, I can't do that''
''Unless you still have feelings for him?''
''What? Are you crazy? Why would I still have feelings for someone who didn't love me? I am not that stupid''
''Then go to him and help him catch those criminals''
''I must be crazy, still here talking to you, I'm really crazy''
A distance away from their location, Leo arrived at the gravestone and saw Nicole busy talking to herself, because he couldn't see the others. He immediately recognised her as the lady who gave to pay her respects to Lizzy at the funeral home.
Perhaps, because they were all in a heated conversation, none noticed the presence of Leo as he curiously went closer to Nicole. Seeing that she was alone, he frowned and wondered who she was speaking to, so he went further closer, behind her and asked.
''Who are you?'' Nicole stiffened at the sound of his voice. The three ghosts looked at each other and Leo. They didn't realise he was there all that while.
''Run!'' Granny said and Nicole looked at her confused.
''Huh?''
''I saw you at the funeral home. I am Leo, Lizzy's fiancé. May I know who you are? Did you know Lizzy?'' Leo faced her and she turned, her back facing Leo, to avoid been seen by him.
''Excuse me!'' Nikki ran away as Leo called her.
''Hey, wait. I wasn't going to harm her. Leo bent down to pick his watch and saw a brown bracelet and picked it up, '"what is this? This must belong to her'' Lizzy and the others looked at him 'this looks familiar though. I wonder where I've seen it before. Should I just leave it here? She will be back looking for it, right?''
Leo put it on top of the grave and Lizzy, Candy and the woman all said at once, ''no, don't!!''
Leo picked the bracelet again as if he heard them, ''let me just take it with me. Someone might pick it up if I leave it here''
''Yes, just take it with you Leo, that way you two will be able to meet again'' Lizzy said and flashed a sly smile as she watched Leo put the bracelet in his pocket and went away.
....
Nicole got into her apartment panting for breath. She went to the fridge and picked a bottle of water, as she was drinking it, the three ghosts appeared in the hall.
''All my life, I haven't run like I did today, no thanks to you three. I've been labelled with words such as, crazy, strange, and now I have added running away to that long list'' Nicole said as she walked to the hall.
''She really hated running back when we were in the University" Lizzy explained.
''Did he see me? No, he couldn't have, right? I turned my back to him. Did he recognise me?'' Nicole looked at her hand, ''my bracelet id gone. Is not on my hand''
''Is with Leo''
''How did it get into his hands? My bracelet is important to me''
''It fell off your hand when you were trying to run away''
''Even the bracelet wanted to be with Leo'' Lizzy smirked.
''No, it can't be, this won't do. What if he decides to look into it?"
''Just help me this once Nikki''
''All of this might seem nothing to you Lizzy but not to me. I never want to see Leo again. What will I tell him, huh? Will he believe me? He might even think I appeared because you are dead and I want to seduce him. I don't want to be involved with him or the people around you''
''He won't think that way. Leo isn't like that''
''Whatever, still I don't want to help you. I won't help you and that's it, stop trying to convince me''
''Leo needs you''
''I am not listening to that nonsense. Leave my house right now'' Nicole went into her bedroom space and started changing her clothes.
''I want him to be happy and I know you are the only one who can give him that''
''Till the end, you are going to be this selfish?'' Nicole threw her dress into the laundry bag and opened her wardrobe to pick a dress.
Seeing the wardrobe full of either black, blue-black dresses and a single yellow dress, Candy turned to Granny and whispered, ''she has only dark coloured dresses''
''You gave me hope and I want you to give him that same hope. Yes, I'm going to be selfish to the end so you better prepare yourself. You said, my area of expertise is running away right? What about you Nicole? Isn't that the same for you?
''Are you f**king kidding me?''
''What are you afraid off? You don't have confidence in yourself, you never think you are good enough for any man and that's why you are still single''
''Shut up!'' Nicole screamed at her. Lizzy's words had hit her sour spot and it hurt her that she was right about everything she said.
''I know, I was a part of the cause of that fear in you and I will take it away before I leave''
''What do you know? Do you think the world revolves around you because you're everything and all that?''
''What is wrong with me being confident about myself? At least it is better than been someone who doesn't have confidence''
Granny and Candy stepped back and watched them as they bantered.
''Wow! To be arguing with a ghost? I must be really out of my fucking mind'
''A ghost? Not exactly, a self-confident ghost is better than a human being who lives locked away from the rest of the world''
''Stop it both of you this minute'' Nikki and Lizzy stopped and looked at her, ''arguing is not the solution right now''
''No, I know the solution grandma. Take her and go far away from me and my life will be normal again''
''What a scare bee. You are totally chickening out right now because you don't have the guts to face your fears'' Lizzy bit back.
''Me? A scare bee, right. I am a scare bee but I am alive''
''We will see just how long you will last with that attitude then''
''Whoa! You must be Miss. Perfect, right? So perfect that you wanted to prove other people wrong and that's why you are dead''
The hall turned silent as they three ghosts stared at Nicole. Nicole pursed her lips and sighed.
''How could you say that to my face?'' Lizzy sat back shocked, ''Nicole'' Candy and Grandma looked at Nikki who had become silent after realising she had gone overboard. ''You must be happy that I'm dead right? Did you hate me that much?''
''Lizzy, listen, I didn't mean it like that'' Nicole sighed and kept quiet. She knew whatever she said was just going to be taken wrongly.
''Yes, you did. You meant that''
''Nicole picked up her bag. ''Excuse me! You can spend the night here if you want, I won't be coming home anyway'' she looked at Lizzy and bowed before Grandma and went out.
''She was angry, I'm sure she didn't mean it like that'' Candy sat next to Lizzy.
''I want to be alone''
''Don't think too much into it'' Candy patted her back gently before disappearing with Granny.
