Fan: secrets: chapter 4

Some moments in my life time simply freezes and I can't quite decide what I should be thinking; this is one of them. So far I've had problem A, the cops ready to take me once they have the evidence they need, and problem B, I need to know what's going on in the mind of friend, Jimmy Casket. Hopefully, I'm going to find some closure when finally sitting down with Papa. Momentarily, everything seems okay.

"Johnny?" Sally whispers to me whilst tilting her head towards me slightly. I may not exactly be in the conversational mood right now but what choice do I have? I spin my head directly at the little girl at her dining table; "Yes Sally?" I reply with a comforting smile. Now the conversation takes a turn for the stranger... "Do you believe in ghosts?" She asks curiously to my surprise. Hasn't she ever watched the news? Following on, I just drag the chat along with short answers. "Yeah. You?" I utter to her. The next sentences sank my heart...

She slowly turns to make direct eye contact with me and explains how she spotted one keeping a close eye on her last night, wielding a knife. No. It couldn't be me; just nightmares, right?

Going to to finish chap 4 soon. Sleep urgent.
