Do you need to borrow money again Harry?

Oh no, I'm fine... I was thinking about a client.

Get it in writing or else there's nothing you can really do if they refuse to pay you.

Oh, it's in writing, on the back of a coffee shop reciept. Is that legally binding?

I don't think so, but it's better than nothing.

It's enough for me anyway.

I know. Call me a cynic, but you're probably going to end up not getting paid.

....yeah... well... at least I won't have to worry about the ghost haunting my client anymore, it's appearently switched targets.

Does this mean there's another ghost in your apartment?

No, thankfully.

It's just waiting across the street.

And I thought that feeling of being watched was just my paranoia acting up. Is there anything I need to know? Dealing with Ghosts 101 or something?

Well this one isn't going to come into the house, Murphy. The wards will keep it out, don't worry. And since he seems to only be after people with magical energy there's no reason he should go after you at all.

So you're the one in danger? How serious is this?

It's nothing. It's not even worth mentioning really. I'll have this wrapped up in time for dinner tonight, hey, I'm even cooking. How 'bout that?

The last time you told me something was nothing, Morgan brought you home with a sprained ankle. Be careful. You don't want me cooking dinner for us.

A sprained ankle isn't exactly going to go down as a medical emergancy. I felt worse for the whole sword in the side thing that Morgan ended up with.

...oh, right. That's true. Not that I wouldn't eat anything you made, Murphy. Well... so long as I test it on Fathead first.

As much as I tolerate Morgan, I'm glad you weren't the one with the sword in the side thing.

Don't worry. I'll spare us both a tragic death and order take out if you can't cook.

You know I haven't seen him in a while, I wonder if that means he's forgiven me for the sugestion that he should grow an afro.

If I'm not home by eight, order me some lo mein, please?

Holy Mother, you just can't help yourself around that guy can you?

I'll make sure to have it ready along with the first aid kit, just in case.

I'm sure I have no idea what you mean.

Thanks, Murph. You're the best girlfriend ever, just so you know.

Of course not.

You're welcome, Harry. I just do what I can.

Until the person calls in the IOU and you've forgotten the whole thing.

I'd be the callie in this situation... so... too risky do you think?

Well, if you're the one calling it in, I'd say you should give it a shot. If you think you can trust the person.

I think I can, I mean, she needs help so it's not like I can really turn her away or anything.

Oh, okay. Well... If she really needs the help, then yeah, you probably should. It'd be the nice thing to do!

I think I've already taken care of most of the problem anyway, I just need to tie up a few loose ends.

I got paid in groceries the other day.

Now that would almost be great.... I guess, depending on what the groceries were.

Four pints of Ben and Jerry's were the highlights. The rest were not as impressive, but hey, the pantry is full now.

Oh... you're right about the highlights, but I doubt that would really impress Murphy, and I think it's my turn to make dinner tonight.

Nope. Cash and/or Credit.

Well cash is always best, but I can't really take credit.

Why not? Get a little swipe-y thing.

Or checks work too.
