Page 38 of Cadenbury Town Does Halloween

He shakes his head. “We can get one for you later though, Sly really did make an amazing bear. I mean it looks like a straw bear and not a real bear, but it’s incredible.”

“Then I can’t wait to see it,” I look at Sly and Ebby. “My family will be out and about tonight, covering the walk, the house and the funfair. If you want to join us you’re very welcome.”

“We could. We want to talk to Cam and see if we can have another look at the house today then tonight, we can leave the boys at the B&B and join you,” Ebby said.

“You can always drop the boys at ours. Emily, my mother-in-law, is looking after Connie and Nora tonight for us. Connie’s a baby and Nora broke her arm yesterday. There will be unhealthy snacks and films. Nix and Cam are looking after her at the moment, but I can contact Adhan and have him show you around the Myers house again,” I offer.

Ebby shakes his head. “I’m sure the mayor has enough going on today without having to show us around the house. We can see it tomorrow.”

“Are you sure? He really won’t mind. He told Cam he would cover things for him today. Plus, we all want you to move here, so he’ll happily show you around and if you have any more concerns about us witches or the town, he can hopefully put them to rest for you before the BBQ.”

The brothers are smiling when the bell jingles and Adhan walks in.

“As if by magic Adhan appears,” I say, smiling happily at him. “Hi babe. The brothers would like another look at the Myers house,” I tell him.

“We can wait until tomorrow when Cam is back at work, we know you’re busy,” Ebby says quickly.

Adhan shakes his head. “Never too busy to show you the house. I need to pop back and get the keys, I can meet you there in ten minutes if that would work.”

“That would totally work,” Xander answers for the brothers.

Adhan smiles at him. “A little excited to see it again?”

“Totally. We’ve been travelling around forever, and that house hugged us. I didn’t know houses did that.” Xander replied.

“In that case, let me go and get the keys,” Adhan says. He gives me a quick kiss and leaves the shop.

“We’ll come back and see you when we finish to arrange tonight,” Ebby says.

“I’ll be here. Mind you Adhan might talk to you about tonight as well.”

“We’ll help however we can,” Sly says. “But now we need to go.”

“You do. Good luck with the second viewing.” I say and with a final wave, they leave the shop.

A few moments later Justice and Alfred come walking in, chatting happily.

“Hey Pops, how’s your day going?” Alfred says grinning at me like a loon and walking over to the counter.

I shake my head at him.

“Might as well get used to it Pops, the name’s sticking,” Justice says with a smile.

“I’m gonna make the bats attack you later,” I tell him.

They both burst out laughing.

“And I’m sure I can create killer ghosts to retaliate,” he replies.

“Nice one doc. I hope I get to see them.”

“Patrol the haunted house and you’ll see them.”

“Oh, what a shame, I’m looking after the haunted walk,” I say, going for a forlorn look, I wonder if I pulled it off.

“I can walk the walk with you, killer ghosts will be fun on the walk as well.”

I burst out laughing. “I’ll walk the walk with you, I’ve gotta see killer ghosts. I mean, I missed out on killer scarecrows, so they’ll be the next best thing.”
