We've Always Loved The Color RED

A not so serious case

Toast could tell Jimmy was upset. He couldn't blame him. Toast knew that Jimmy died when he was 10, so he had a good reason to be angry. He was sure Jimmy didn't want to relive that memory. 

"We should fix this." Toast told the two. They both agreed. 

"Good! How about right now?!" Jimmy exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly. Toast giggled, patting Jimmy's head. 

"Well we have to come up with a plan first." Toast stated. Jimmy nodded, standing still. Toast sat down, Ghost and Jimmy following him.  

"So what do we do?" Ghost questioned. 

"Well do we know anyone who can help us?" Toast asked. The three sat and thought when suddenly the phone rang. Toast walked over and picked it up. 

"Hello?" Toast questioned. He heard a familiar voice. 

"Hi Toast! Could you come here and take a look around. Papa says a ghost stole his Oreos." Gertrude explained. Toast laughed.

"Of course! We'll be there right away." Toast told her, hanging up.

"Do we have a case?" He heard a voice ask. He wasn't real sure who had said it, sine the two sounded so similar. 

"Yes. We should get going." Toast told them. Toast called a cab. 

"Where are you going?" Ghost questioned as Jimmy began to disappear. 

"Don't worry, I'll be back when we get to the Acachalla's house." Jimmy sighed. Ghost nodded. The two got in. About 10 minutes later, they arrived. Jimmy appeared once again. Toast and Ghost began to walk up to the door, when the realized Jimmy wasn't following. Ghost ran back and grabbed Jimmy by the wrist. 

"Come on!" Ghost exclaimed. 

"You didn't tell me that I had to go in there!" Jimmy growled. Ghost sighed. 

"Please?" Ghost begged. Jimmy's eyes went wide. He couldn't say no to a face like that. 

"Fine." Jimmy mumbled, following Ghost up to the door. Toast knocked on the door. Gertrude opened the door. 

"Hello! Who are these two little cuties?" Gertrude questioned. The two blushed at the same time. 

"Johnny Ghost." Ghost told her. 

"Oh my! I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you! And, who are you?" Gertrude asked, looking at Jimmy. 

"...J-Jimmy Casket." Jimmy told her hesitantly. Her eyes widened. 

"Uh... well alright! Come on in!" She told the three smiling. Jimmy could feel Gertrude's gaze on him as the three walked in. It creeped him out. Gertrude was scary, but not as scary as birds. Suddenly, he heard Sally gasp.

"Can I play with them?" Sally questioned, running over to Ghost and Jimmy. Gertrude laughed, nodding. Sally grabbed the two by their hands and dragged them into the backyard. 

"Billy!" She called. Billy ran around the corner. 

"Who are those two?" Billy asked. 

"I don't know... I think they're twins." Sally told Billy. Ghost noticed Jimmy had completely frozen up. 

"What's wrong?" Ghost questioned. Jimmy shook his head.

"Nothing." Jimmy sighed. Ghost's eyes narrowed. Jimmy was obviously hiding something. It had been obvious since the beginning. Jimmy clearly knew something that Ghost didn't. 

"Are you lying...?" Ghost asked. 

"No." Jimmy mumbled, looking away. Ghost decided to drop it, not wanting to make Billy and Sally suspicious. 

"What do you guys want to play?" Sally asked, causing them to jump. They both shrugged. 

"I have an idea! How about the 'who can find Papa's oreos first' game?" Billy suggested. Sally's eyes sparkled with happiness. 

"Yeah!" Sally exclaimed. Billy and Sally ran off while Ghost and Jimmy stayed put. 

"So... what now?" Jimmy questioned. Ghost shrugged. They started walking around the backyard. It wasn't really to eventful. Jimmy saw a squirrel and got scared, but that was about it. They decided to go back in the house. They walked by Gertrude. 

"Hey, could I talk to you two for a minute?" Gertrude questioned. The two walked over to Gertrude. 

"Alright, I have a few questions. First of all, how old were you two before this happened?" Gertrude began. 

"21." They said at the same time. Gertrude nodded.

"Ok, and how old are you guys now?"  

"10." Jimmy told her.   

"Interesting... what happened to make you like this?" Gertrude asked. Jimmy shrugged.

"There was a figure and it shot something at us. It hit us and this happened." Ghost explained, motioning to himself. 

"...why were you two in the same place at the same time?"Gertrude. Ghost didn't know how to answer.  Jimmy cleared his throat. 

"I was trying to kill him." Jimmy told her, giving her a creepy smile. Gertrude shuttered. 

"Ok then... continue doing whatever." Gertrude told them. She turned away, sighing. Something was off about that Jimmy guy, and she was going to figure it out.
