“Your résumé is extremely…blank” the man in the temp job office noticed as he looked at the paper Meg had given him. She had written it this morning. “You’ve worked as a nurse in a mental clinic for some weeks. Do you have a degree as a nurse?”
“Yeah” Meg nodded. “I should’ve brought it with me”
“Why don’t you go início and come back with your degree. Then, maybe, I can do something for you” the man said.
“All right” Meg answered and she got up. She turned around and left the office. She leaned against the mural and took a deep breath. She didn’t have a degree.
“Hey” a female voice said soft and smoke swirled before Meg’s face. Meg looked up and saw a young woman standing in front of her. She was offering her a cigarette. Meg accepted it and took a haul.
“Let me guess. You don’t have the right references, only the sucky jobs are open and they’ll call you when they find something that fits you” the woman summed up.
“Speaking out of experience?” Meg asked as she took another haul. She took the cigarette out of her mouth and examined it. “What is this?”
“You like it?” the woman smirked. Then she became serious. “I think I can help you out. My husband and I own a company and we’re looking for some new personnel”
“What kind of company?” Meg asked uninterested, the joint pinched between her lips. The woman searched in her pockets and conjured a small card.
“Here’s my number and the address of our company. Give me a call or come over whenever you want to” the woman said.
“And you really think this is something for me?” Meg asked examining the card.
“You’re a pretty girl” the woman said. “We could use someone like you”
“Yeah” Meg nodded. “I should’ve brought it with me”

“Daphne? It’s time to let me go” Martin said soft.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to mover on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”
Daphne shook her head. “I don’t believe that”
“You didn’t believe I would show up in the first place, either” Martin pointed out.
Daphne pulled her shoulders. “How do I let you go? Aren’t you supposed to walk into the light or something?”
Martin laughed. “Not exactly. You have to salt and burn my bones”
“So I need to go to the cemetery?” Daphne asked.
“No. That grave is empty” Martin said bitter.
“Then where are your bones?” Daphne asked nervous.
“You’re standing on them” Martin answered.

“Gerard committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her bolsa on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minuto later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”
