Nina Jackson was matter-of-fact as she regarded Zander and Harper the next morning. “I know you charge a premium fee for fast jobs and I’m willing to pay it if you can get this ghost out of here today.”Zander and Harper exchanged a look.“You have to sign a contract before we do it,” Zander said. “We don’t expect payment before we complete the job, but we do expect the promise of payment for when it’s done.”“Whatever,” Nina said, waving her hand impatiently. “I’m willing to pay any fee to get this ghost out of here.”“I’ll get the forms out of the car,” Zander said. “I’ll call our co-workers and get them out here. While I’m doing that, you should tell Harper what you can about this ghost.”Nina made a face. “Why?”“Because it will help us form the best plan of attack,” Harper replied smoothly.“Can’t you just … I don’t know … suck it up?” Nina asked, miming as if she was vacuuming.“It doesn’t quite work like that,” Harper said.
