James woke slowly and looked up to see Jessie smiling down on him, relief flooded through him at least she was OK. He tried to sit up but couldn’t quite make it so Jessie helped him up. He looked around and saw to his surprise that he was still in the mansion.
He turned to Jessie and said, "After you left the mansion, we were searching for a phone when I heard someone banging on the door. We went down to investigate it and I was shocked to find an Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy and that helicopter pilot at the door. Officer Jenny said she thought we were in danger and I told her she was too late.
"We rushed out of the house in the direction I’d earlier heard that scream coming from and we got there we found that bloke beating you. I was so afraid you were dead."
She stopped talking for a minute and James squeezed her hand, she smiled at him gently and then continued speaking. "Officer Jenny told the guy who’s name was Bill by the way, to get off of you and when he wouldn’t she shot him straight in the head. It was kinda nasty. I rushed right over to make sure you were OK and Meowth run over to Butch and Cassidy and untied them. Thankfully you were still alive and Officer Jenny wanted us to go back with her and it was then that The Boss and that Doctor arrived in a helicopter. It seemed that the pilot, Quinn I think his name was had phoned the Boss and told him what was going on.
"The Boss told Officer Jenny that it would be OK to leave us here and that the Doc would be able to take care of you. To my surprise she agreed and after carrying the body back to the boat and they left. The Boss sent his helicopter away as well and then he picked you up and we returned to the house and you’ve been here ever since."
"How long?" James asked, softly.
"A couple of days."
James nodded, "So everyone else is OK?"
"Yeah everyone’s fine, Butch and Cassidy are a little shaken up but they’re OK."
"I glad. But that really leads to my next question, what are we going to do now?"
Jessie took hold of James hand and said softly, "I don’t care what we do as long as we do it together."
James smiled at her and then said "Well then I guess there’s this kid we need to terrorize."
Jessie laughed and said "Yeah I bet he’s got lazy while we’ve been gone."
The two began to plan what they were going to do to the kids laughing and joking all the way.
If James had looked out of the window he’d have noticed the ghost was watching them. The ghost smiled at the laughing couple and turned to disappear into the woods, knowing that he could trust them to watch over Ash and keep him safe.
