How's he settling in? He's really gone for the haunted mansion look. Candle stubs, cobwebs, creaky doors, a flickering chandelier. And he's sticking to the rules? So far, yes. Only conducts his hauntings at night. He followed Cody into a bar yesterday, waited till he went to the toilet,

and then jumped out at him from behind the urinals, scared the bejesus out of him. Oh, here's his shopping list for today. I'll get Joey and Salvatore on the case as soon as they get back from the mortuary. What does he need all this for? God knows. Methylated spirits, gaffer tape, rat poison, a megaphone, a wheel clamp, camphorated oil, fifty feet of chain and a bottle of semi-skimmed milk.

Luke has a strange mind. Oh, by the way, someone left this book in my office. Is it yours? Collected plays of Pirandello. No. Well, I doubt it belongs to Joey or Salvatore. Any good? I've just finished Fear and Trembling. Six characters in search of an author. Intriguing title. I might give it a whirl.

Alternatively, you could read my report on the next client. I like to be... Don't even finish that sentence. Surprised. I like to be surprised. Yeah, well, I like to be prepared. Surprised. Prepared. Surprised. Prepared.

Surprised. Boo! What was that? I was trying to surprise you. Well, I was prepared. How do you do it? Do what? You're doing it again.

Doing what? Pretending you don't have a clue when in fact... Yes? When in fact... Yes? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Your ego is big enough as it is. Go on.

When in fact... Bye-bye. When in fact... Bye-bye. When in fact... What were you going to say? Alvina! Have fun with the next client. Percy. Episode 9 of The Amelia Project.

Coming soon.
