Chapter 17

Lisa ran faster than she’s ever ran in her life. Her feet pounded the ground. She nearly ran into the front door of the house. When she found the door was locked she pounded on it.

“Tommy! Evan!”

Tommy and Evan looked back at the door. Tommy ran to the door and pulled hopelessly on the doorknob.

“Lisa is that you? I told you to stay home!”

Lisa stopped pounding. “I know but ….I got scared!”

“Lisa go back home!”

“Are you alright? Why can’t u open the door?” Lisa asked.

“I don’t know why I can’t open the door! I just can’t!” Tommy paused. He lowered his voice. “Okay, we have reason to believe Michael’s ghost is—“

“I know,” Lisa said. “He was there….at my house.” She swallowed hard.

“Yeah well, we’re stuck here. I advise you to go home.” Tommy said.

Lisa glanced over her shoulder nervously. “Tommy is Evan in there with you?”

“Yes.”

“Do you think ghosts can kill?” Lisa asked.

After Prince watched the Lisa scene in the theater, the picture switched to Evan Chandler.

“Why have you been acting strange lately?” Evan asked his son Jordy in the kitchen of their mansion.

Jordy rubbed his forehead. “God, so much stuff is coming back to me….I’m thinking back….I know I swore that Michael Jackson had…”

Evan became suspicious. “…molested you. And he DID.”

“Yeah…” the 20 something year old said, looking up at his father with worried eyes. “But…I’m getting these memories back…”

Evan became alarmed. “Back? How could you get them…..” He paused. “What memories?” Evan, for the Michael Jackson scam to work, had injected a psychotic drug in his son so he could swear up and down that Michael had abused him. There was no way the drug could wear off…at least…that Evan knew of.

“I remember Michael and me….I don’t…” he took a deep breath. “I don’t think he molested me.” He looked up at Evan.

“But he DID.” Evan pressed.

Jordy sighed. “Dad, you weren’t there.”

Evan’s eyes widened.

“I’m sorry, I think I need to do what’s right.” Jordy said.

“Noo…” Evan whispered. He suddenly got up from the table and left the room.

After watching this scene, so many thoughts raced through Prince’s mind. He swallowed hard.

“Can ghosts kill?” Tommy looked at Evan. His expression was blank.

“Tommy?” Lisa said.

“Lisa just go home. Please.” Tommy begged.

“Tommy it’s not that simple! Michael’s gonna follow me there! I can’t get away! None of us can get away!” Lisa sighed. She turned around and sat by the door.

Tommy through his hands up in frustration.

“You know I’m right…” Lisa said gravely.
