No one has seen Antoine since he left to play European basketball a decade ago. It's disconcerting when he shows up claiming he needs to protect me from the "gray ones." I think he's a card short of a full deck. Lee and I are moving to Baltimore next month. I haven't found the right time to tell Mama and Daddy the exciting news. No, there's no ring yet. Still, I'm sure Lee has just been too busy to propose. Right? I need to clear out my caseload before leaving town. My clients are not being helpful. I'm running all over North Alabama searching for my client's scorned wife to stop her from offing the couple's dog.

Dusty talks me into one more ghost hunt before I leave. I wouldn't have agreed, but we've been there before.

Something about returning to the Imperial theater makes my blood chill.

When the "gray ones" appear, I realize I may not live to see my moving day...
