    Summary

    When the Dead Boy Detectives meet a client whose brother’s death has been covered up by St. Hilarion’s School, they realise that nothing will change unless they also take on the case which has been in the ‘open’ file since the beginning of the agency: the case of the deaths of Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland.

    Summary

    Charles only seemed to see inexplicable fun in Halloween. He enjoyed the decorations, the carved pumpkins and plastic skeletons, as much as Edwin enjoyed the crunching of leaves under his spectral boots. He had not realized how much he had missed that satisfying sound. But Charles…

    “We’re ghosts, and it’s Halloween tomorrow,” he said. “We should do a proper haunting.”
    -
    Or, a tale of five hauntings Edwin and Charles pulled off over the years.

    Summary

    “Were you like Brad and Hunter, when you were alive?” Niko asked dubiously.

    Charles stilled. “Well—maybe. I think I was always a little bit different from other guys, to be honest,” he said, like he was confessing something. “My old mates were definitely cut from the same cloth, though.”

    “Oh,” Niko realized. “Is that why you want them to be good guys? They remind you of your friends?”

    “Er…” Charles trailed off. He squished the ball of PlayDoh in his hands. Gray showed between his fingers. “Not exactly. My old mates weren’t, ah. Well. They weren’t good guys, in the end. I mean, Brad and Hunter do remind me of them. A lot, actually. But it’s more like, it would be really nice to know that guys like James or Pete could be nice.” He contemplated the dough in his hands with a small frown. “I just wonder, if those guys had been born a little later, maybe they would have turned out better? Maybe we might have been alright.”

    Niko followed his gaze. Charles seemed to be getting PlayDoh residue on his fingers. They were turning gray, now, too.

    “Were your friends nice to you?” Niko asked, suddenly worried.

    Charles met her eyes, but he had a faraway look on his face. “Sometimes,” he said.
