Ghost Squad Page #7

Yeah.

You're actually kind of cute

without your glasses.

Hey, brainiac!

I never said

I couldn't catch a football.

You did.

You guys actually

stuck it out, huh?

Yeah.

That was the bet, right?

And it's "Charlie,"

not brainiac

or dork or geek-boy!

- Yeah.

- Hey, shut up, Brent.

I'll remember that.

Come on, guys.

See you around, Charlie.

I can't believe it.

- He actually seemed-

- Nice.

I was going to say

"Magnanimous."

But then I thought

he might hear me

and come back and do that

hitting-us-on-every-syllable thing again.

Let's just go home.

Who's this?

- I don't know.

- Does he have a tag?

- What's his name?

- I don't see one.

How about "Salty"?

He sure acts

like he knows you, Charlie.

He's so cute!

What a good boy.

Can we go home now, please?

Come on, boy.

Thanks for coming back

for me.

Uh, Charlie

sort of made me do it.

Boy, when that old TV

came on by itself...

...or that fireball.

Man! That was the ugliest

ghost I've ever seen.

Dude, that was the only ghost

you've ever seen.

What are they talking about?

Just an old ghost story.

What did he mean when he said,

"thanks for coming back for me"?

Tell me, Charlie.

Really.

Did something happen

in that house last night?

Yeah.

I learned

who my real friends are.

And I don't care what Jake

or any of his friends

or anyone else says.

I'm Charlie Hamilton

and I like math

and science and "D&D"

and old monster movies.

And I think

that's pretty cool.

So do I.

Well, anyway, it must have

been pretty exciting.

Are you going to keep him?

Sure.

Unless someone else

comes to get him.

Good boy, come on!

Come on!
