That night Brian had a weird dream.
He saw Angel dancing in a club. She was talking to several people.
'Angel are you leaving?'
'Yep, I have an early lecture tomorrow and I want to be awake to follow it.' One of her friends hugged her.
'Do I need to walk you to your car?' Angel shook her head.
'No, it's parked a block away. I'll be fine.' Angel waved at her friends and walked to her car. At the entrance of the parking lot were some boys standing talking to each other. When Angel past by, one of the guys turned around.
'Have you got a light?' 'No, sorry, I don't smoke.' 'Too bad.' Angel saw the streetlight reflect in the blade of the knife but it was already too late. Angel fell to the ground clutching her stomach.
'Help.' She whispered.
'23-year old female. Stabbed in her stomach several times. 'The nurses lifted her on to the bed. 'She is having a heart attack. Start CPR.' The doctor looked at his watch. 'Take her upstairs. Put her in a room and call her parents, so they can say goodbye to her daughter.' Brian saw Anna hugging a girl in the room they had brought Angel to. When Anna turned around he saw that she was hugging Angel.
Brian looked at the bed. Angel was also lying in the bed.
'Brian, Brian.' He opened his eyes. Sweat was running down his back.
'I didn't mean to scare you.' Angel sat next to him on a chair.
'I need you help, Brian.' 'Why?'
'You saw in your dream who killed me. I can't tell the police any more. You can.' 'But…' 'That is my unfinished business.' Brian looked at her.
'You are beautiful.' Angel blushed.
'Hey you blushed.'
'We ghosts have feelings too.' Brian started laughing but immediately grinded his teeth in pain. 'You should be laughing.' Angel said with a smart look on her face. 'Are you buried yet?' 'I went to my own funeral. Now I know who my friends are and who I can go haunt.' Again Brian started laughing.
'Try smiling first it doesn't hurt so much.' 'I'll try. You are not making it easier
for me.' 'Who are you talking too?' Brian's best friend stood in the door opening. 'I was
talking to…' 'He can't see me
or hear me.' Said Angel. 'I was talking to myself. It gets lonely in here.' Angel poked
his side. 'Oow.'
'What? Are you in pain?' 'No Nick, just some phantom pain.' Angel started laughing her head off. 'I hadn't heard that one yet.' Brian started smiling.
'Bri? Are you all right?' Nick looked worried. 'Don't worry about me. I'll be just fine.'
