Oh, well, someone was going to have an interesting time at the castle.
That was for damn sure.
Because he’d bet a kilt on it that he wasn’t imagining things—like that falling teacup earlier.
ON.
CUE.
“While I understand what you’re saying, tell that to the shadow man who walks the courtyard by the fountain,” he said. “Or who has been making things fall off of shelves.”
Now, Gabby was all ears.
She loved a good ghost story, and unlike Tony, she believed in an afterlife. All she could hope for was that she got to experience something paranormal.
For shits and giggles.
If there wasn’t an afterlife, where else were all of his bugs going after they were evidence smoothies?
“Seriously?” Tony asked. “Are you yanking my chain?”
Graham shook his head.
“Not in the least, Doctor Magnus. The castle is haunted, and by a few spirits. When the dead aren’t at rest, it gets interesting,” he admitted.
She was curious.
How could she not be?
“What can you tell us about the ghosts?” she asked, needing more information.
Curiosity killed the hacker.
From behind the driver’s wheel, Graham was glad they were interested. This castle had a history, and it should be told.
That’s what he told Callen a few times.
Now, his hope was that these people would add to the stories that Gryphen and Ian uncovered.
That would make everyone happy—with the exception of Elizabeth Blackhawk—apparently.
Because they deserved to know, he told them all about the castle adventure the previous visitors had.
“Well, Gryphen and Ian ran into Ceit. She was the lady of the manor. There’s a book,” he said, sharing what they’d found out. “Pages were missing, and the two of them started piecing the book back together again.”
They listened.
“They found ripped out pages from Ceit to Duncan, and letters from a mystery lover to Duncan. There are still a bunch missing. Didn’t Gryphen tell you when he got back?” he asked.
They both looked over at him.
Uh-oh.
It was clear that he hadn’t heard about what happened when they returned.
Now, someone should tell him.
When Tony elbowed her, she knew he wanted her to handle it.
