Ghost of Goodnight Lane Page #5

---

- H-Here?

- Here?

As in, this house that is

attached to your studio.

W-W-Wait a, wait a minute,

w-what are we saying?

That people were

actually murdered here?

Yeah, someone isn't

happy with us here.

Oh, no sh*t!

No, I'm serious.

This is huge.

Wait a minute,

y-y-you're into this.

- Well...

- This is f***ing interesting to you?

A woman tells me

that her dead family

isn't at rest, and they

are physically entering

this world to express

their unhappiness.

Yeah, I'm sorry,

I'm a little intrigued.

You're sick.

No, no, I mean seriously,

there's something

f***ing wrong with you.

I mean, snap out of it, Dani!

Th-This isn't some little

indie f***ing documentary!

W-W-We're not your subjects!

This is...

- F*** this!

- Wait, where you going?

Well, you said that the

front door if locked, okay.

I'm gonna try the others.

I'm gonna get out of this place

and go get some f***ing help.

You can stay here and

study your ghosts

Johnny, I don't think

that separating right now

I'm not just gonna sit

around here and do nothing.

Are you deaf, Johnny?

There is no way out.

I'm getting out of this hellhole.

Anybody else who wants to come

with me, please, feel free.

I'm out, Alan.

I'm going with Johnny, and

we're gonna get a door open.

Good luck.

Go, go, go!

Why isn't it opening?

Oh, no!

We have to go get him!

Hang on, buddy, we're coming.

We have to go get him!

Laurel, we have to get out of here.

Come on!

We gotta go, Laurel!

Mo...

Mo...

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Maybe I should send a

text or an IM to someone

on the outside to try

and get some help.

- There's a good idea.

- See?

Brilliant.

Thanks.

Aww.

Sh*t.

What did I do?

What happened?

I-I-I was trying to press send, and

then the whole thing just went black.

Just reboot it.

Just press power.

That's what I do every time.

Dude!

That's where all my

files have gone?

Wait, you guys...

Well, what do you

mean by that, Dani?

I'm-I'm not writing that.

Get the key!

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Okay.

This is so frustrating.

- Right?

- I can't send a message out.

- No, nothing.

- Nothing.

No text.

My phone doesn't work.

I can't send an email... I...

Yeah, but I-I can search anything.

I-I can literally, like,

search for anything,

It makes no sense, whatsoever.

This is so stupid.

Do a search on the little

girl and her mother.

Well, I know the mother's

name was Jeanie,

and Thelma told me the

little girl's name, but I...

I can't remember.

Ben, do you remember it?

Uh... Carla something...

I think...?

- but if Jeanie killed herself when

the kid was four... - Oh, right.

Then I doubt you'll find much

about the two of them together.

Stupid f***ing door!

It's okay, it's okay,

it's okay, it's okay.

Come here.

It's okay, Laurel.

Yup, I got something.

It's, uh, it's a picture.

It's looks like, um, a

Fourth of July celebration,

but...

Look who they have a picture of.

Was that her dad?

No, it's her stepdad, George Evans.

Thelma said he came on the scene

after Jeanie got back

from being kidnapped.

Look at the way she's looking at him.

Apparently little Carla didn't like her

new daddy very much.

Carly.

What?

Look at the name.

It's Carly, not Carla.

All right, relax.

Carly... Carly May Milles...

Millies.

Wait... h-how did, how did you...

I was named after my daddy.

Whoa!

Chloe?

Mm-mm.

Carly?

You're the smart one.

Chloe's gone bye-bye.

But I'm here, and I'm

not going anywhere.

Okay, what do you want?

My house!

We didn't know that

this was your house

until, until now, and,

and you can have it

if-if you'll just

let us out of here.

Liars!

Okay, I'm out.

Oh, sh*t.

Nuh-uh.

Time to do something witchy.

You're gonna die here!

You first.

That's quite enough, you two.

Ugh...

Son of a...

Okay, Laurel.

We're gonna get out.

It's okay!

I've got it!

I'm gonna get us out of here, okay!

Johnny, what are you doing?

I'm gonna get us out of here.

You hang on, Laurel.

I'm gonna get us out

of here, no problem.

I've got this, Laurel.

I'll get us out of here in no time.

Johnny!

Johnny!

How is that gonna help us?

Don't worry.

We're gonna be fine.

Johnny!

F*** this.

I don't care how much

a new door costs,

we are kickin' this mother down.

Thelma Perkins, how

did you get in here?

We've been trying to

get out for hours.

I have a key.

It never occurred to you to change

the locks on those old doors?

I told you to change the locks.

You never told me to change...

- Well, I told somebody to change the...

- What?

Okay it doesn't matter!

People are dying here!

She let you in, didn't she?

She?

You mean Carly May?

Then she is angry with you about

getting rid of this place.

Alan, the door.

See? This is, this is what keeps

happening to all the doors.

What do we do, Thelma Perkins?

Why is she doing this?

Why does she hate these doors?

Carly always loved Goodnight Lane.

It's the only home she ever knew.

She was born here.

I helped deliver that baby

with my own two hands.

And...

She died here.

I mean, since we moved in,

I've always felt stuff, her,

but, I mean, she never

hurt anybody, so why now?

This is all she has left 'til

her daddy comes her way.

He's what she really wants, but she

won't get him 'til he's six feet under.

So, this house, and the few

things she has hidden in it,

are all she has.

Her daddy?

Jeanie may have come back to me,

but she never really got over him.

Some girl even brought her a present for

Carly from him before she was born.

We'll all be together

again, someday.

As one, Sweetness.

Love, Daddy.

I told Jeanie having that

baby was a bad idea,

but she wouldn't listen.

We started seeing him on the news.

I knew I was right,

and...

When Carly got older,

Jeanie knew I was right, too.

I'm sorry, I'm lost,

I don't know... who-who's her,

who's her daddy?

Charles Milles Manson.

What?

Come on!

The skinny...

The tall, goth rocker?

With the...

I thought he was gay.

- Dude...

- No, not Marilyn Manson,

Charles Manson, the serial killer.

That's worse!

Well, yeah, a little.

I mean, this was extreme,

but... Manson?

Has anything strange happened?

Uh, there was, like, a swastika...

That was f***ing weird.

Yeah, there was a swastika

carved into Micah's head...

- when Johnny found her...

- Right, right into her head.

Manson has one, too.

You are shitting me.

And, and, and Chloe...

Well, Carly, I-I-I guess,

she kept saying that she

was named after her daddy?

Carly.

It was the closest thing

Jeanie could find

without just calling her Charlie.

Do you boys ever use

that fireplace?

We've got central... heating, so...

Why?

It made for a great hiding place

for a little girl with secrets.

She thought I didn't know,

but... but I knew.

Once Jeanie saw how...

mean that little girl could be,

she started to be afraid of her.

Afraid of a baby.

Uh, I got something.

Everyone says Jeanie

killed herself, but

if you ask me, Carly

made her do it.
