This is the ghost of Skip Broke as he appears to Brandy.

Ok, on with the story,

Previously, we left Brandy after a wonderful and strange Birthday party for her toddler son Beau.

Early the next morning after a restless nights sleep, Brandy awoke to
find Dustin her oldest son already up.
Dustin seemed to act like he needed to tell his mother something
important, but before Brandy could ask him , What was wrong? Dustin
burst out.
"Mom , I am sorry, I have to tell you this, but,, but"..... "Mom, I have been seeing visions of a ghost,
the ghost of Dad! I keep seeing him out of the k"

"Kitchen Window, and he is always reading the newspaper, Brandy
finished her son's sentence.
Dustin's eyes seemed to bulge in his head as he realized that his
mother had been seeing the same thing.
While her son was tongue tied, Brandy continued to say that,
she had been seeing ghostly visions of her missing husband
for months now.
She let Dustin know that she had told her best friend Tasia about
what she had been seeing.
Gradually, Dustin came out of shock from what his mother
had just said, a sense of relief rolled over him, relief that he was
not going crazy , he then tried to listened more closely to what his
mother was saying.

"They told me that he must have a message for us and that the
next time I see him, that I am to write down everything that
happened immediately."

"Dustin?" he heard his mother say, Dustin?
"Honey , look at mommy!" In a sort of shocked daze Dustin
looked at his mother.
"Honey, she said to her son, It's going to be okay, we
are going to make it through this. Were not crazy. Everything
is going to be alright.. OK?

Suddenly, Dustin hugged his mother desperately and thankfully.

"Mom , he said to her, as he gave his mom a hug, I am so glad that I am not alone, I really thought I was losing my mind.

They both laughed as he hugged her because the baby in her belly kicked them both.
Your little brother wants to tell you he loves you to she laughed and then sobered.

"I love you Dustin, I am glad that you are here with me, this would be so much harder alone.
You are a good son, I mean , not that I want you to have hard times, she choked back tears
and smiled at him.

"Not that I want to have hard times either Mom, but, I would not want you to be here alone without me, we will
stick together and make it through all of this weirdness. "I love you mom!" You are right we will get through this."

Dustin could tell that his mother was very tired and needed to rest considering her condition. He suggested that
she go and take a nice bubble bath while he agreed to listen for his little toddler brother, Beau who was still asleep.

So Brandy went to go and take a much anticipated bath. Lavender bath salts were added to the water
and she was ready to go for a soak.

And Dustin decided to have a closer look at today's paper.He sat down and automatically turned the paper
to the exact middle and folded it in half.
"Ok, dad he thought in the back of his mind, "What is it that you want to show me?"
Ever so lightly the words became more bold as his thumb pointed to the same place that his fathers
ghostly figures had pointed to. IT was right there in front of him but yet he could not believe it .
The center of the paper was the classifieds. The add under his thumb read,.

Wanted: One Broken Brandy
Please apply in person for further information.
S.100 Salem Avenue between 1pm and 4pm .


Dustin's blood got cold at first , then the adrenaline quickly followed, but for some reason,
he had a very determined mind to remain perfectly calm as he re-read the add in the paper
that so obviously pointed to his mother. He was getting more paranoid as the seconds passed.
Maybe someone was watching him?
With this in mind, he calmly got up and went into the house.

Dustin went to the computer and googled the address several times before he got a
phone number, it was as if the address did not exist or was changing all the time , which
of course made no sense, but he finally got a phone number and quickly dialed it.
Dustin held his breath as he listened to the phone service dial the phone number , holding his breath,
he secretly hoped to hear his fathers voice answer.

The phone range three times and then gave him the recorded message,

"The number you have dialed is temporarily disconnected or no longer in use. "Please hang up
and dial again if you feel you have reached this message in error." brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The dial tone rang in his ear. Beeep, beeep , beeeep , beeeep, Dustin was just standing there
listening to the noise from the phone as he started to feel stupid about everything. Stupid that he
admitted he even had a dad, his dad probably just left them.That's what most of the neighborhood
said about them. Just as he started to feel really bitter, the beeping sound stopped on the telephone.
A dial tone began, then the line started ringing.
Dustin gasped as someone picked up the phone on the third ring.
"Hello," a older male voice asked, Is this Dustin or Brandy Broke?

.............. The End of Part 6..........
