The Good Witch Page #2

He's ruined.

What, Attila, what's wrong with him.

He won't bark, he won't growl no more.

He just sits there with

his nose under his paws.

- That's a bad thing?

- She did this.

Who?

That witchy woman over in Grey house.

She did something to my boy.

Miss Nightingale?

She did something that's unnatural.

Come on, you can't be serious.

I'm dead serious and I

want to file a complaint.

Okay, I'll look into it.

You just watch your back or that witch

will take the bark out of you too.

She's a witch.

Witches don't exist.

But she can do magic.

Magic doesn't exist either.

Maybe she's the Grey lady.

Lori, you're driving me crazy.

Why don't you just leave me alone, okay?

Lori...

Not so fast... where is it?

I don't have any money, not today.

My grandpa packed my lunch.

Let me see.

I guess I'll just have

to take this instead.

Tomorrow, tell your grandpa you

want money instead of this crap.

If you don't, you're not the

only who's going to get hurt.

What do you mean?

It'd be a shame if anything

happened to your little sister.

You leave her alone!

Grandpa.

Hey Brandon.

You used to box right?

A long, long time ago.

Can you...

will you teach me how to fight?

What do you want to

learn how to do that for?

I just want to be able

to take care of myself.

Well,

I wouldn't make much of a sparring partner.

Why don't you ask your father?

Something wrong?

Just forget about it.

- Chief Russell?

- Hello again.

Did you come to deliver

those community standards?

Oh, you have to understand,

Mrs. Tinsdale she tends to

get a little passionate about things.

Passion is good.

Come on in.

Uh, watch the boxes.

Would you like some herb tea?

It's my own special blend.

Who's that?

The infamous Grey lady.

She was here when I arrived.

She looks like you.

Do I look that cracked and faded?

listen the reason I'm here is about this

disturbance with the Doberman.

Oh, that.

Well don't blame the dog, I mean,

he's just unhappy being

chained up all day.

Well, no one's blaming the dog.

The owner is blaming you.

He's thinking of pressing charges.

Rusty, the owner,

claims that you changed his dog somehow.

Well yeah, I did.

Well, I had a talk with him.

Well, you talked with Rusty?

No, with the dog.

What exactly did you say?

I told him he was a good dog and

his master was a beast.

Of course, I didn't want the

children to hear, so I whispered...

- The children?

Yeah, the dog got loose and

chased them into my yard.

Okay, so Attila was on your property.

That's right.

Okay, Rusty didn't tell me that.

The little girl Lori scraped her knee,

- so I treated her..

- Lori?

Did she have a brother named Brandon?

You know them?

Yeah, I know them.

They're my kids.

They didn't tell me about this.

Well they probably didn't

want it on their police record.

I'm sure they told their mom.

No, no, their mom...

their mom died three years ago.

I'm so sorry.

They're wonderful kids.

I know. Thanks.

Would you like that tea now?

Or coffee?

Because I know that cops

drink coffee and donuts.

- Dozens of them.

- Yeah.

They also wear those big dark glasses so -

nobody knows what we're thinking. - Right.

- evrilmemi altyaz -

Oh, maybe some other time.

- Okay. Sure.

- Thanks.

Drop by any time neighbor.

Or come see my new shop.

Shop?

Yeah, I'm opening a small

shot on 3rd and Main.

When? What's today? Tuesday.

A week from tomorrow.

My ads in the paper.

Well, you're taking on a lot.

I like a challenge.

I'll see you later Chief Russell.

Jake.

Call me Jake.

Everybody calls me Jake.

Well then I guess lucky that's your name.

It's a trick.

A trick?

Bye.

How's it going?

Intense.

Almost as intense as

being chased by a dog

over at Grey house.

Did you want to tell me about that?

Not really.

So I hear you want to learn how to fight.

It's nothing.

Somebody bothering you?

Just forget about it.

You got a problem with somebody you

know you can talk to me about it.

Okay well when you're ready

to talk I'm here for you okay.

Trying to hide from me dweeb?

Hand it over!

- Is this all of it?

- It's everything.

Good.

See you tomorrow you little creep.

Bell, Book and Candle.

Jake. Good morning.

Look at this place!

This was vacant. It was boarded up.

Yeah, I've been working on

the inside since I got here.

But still...

Well, if you make up your

mind you want something,

all the obstacles seem to vanish.

You've got a lot of interesting things.

Now all I need is customers.

Herbs.

Oh, they're all perfectly legal officer.

You're not under investigation.

I like the masks.

Thanks, they're from my travels.

You travel a lot?

Life's a journey, not a destination.

I travelled a lot.

I mean,

my parents moved around

a lot. An Army brat.

So I swore when I get married

I'm going to stay in one

place just for the kids.

It's not every dad that gives his daughter

a big hug before he leaves for work.

- She tell you that?

- No, Jasmine.

You're daughter loves to pour it on.

Oh, I can't even smell it.

Oh really. It's a beautiful scent.

It was my wife's favorite.

You all must miss her very much.

Here,

take a whiff of this.

Whoa!

That'll clear your sinuses.

Yeah, it'll do a lot more than that.

How much?

Five dollars. Satisfaction guaranteed.

It's a bargain.

You're my first customer.

Thanks.

good luck with the

shop Miss Nightingale.

Cassie.

Cassie.

Cassie.

And on your left is Grey House,

so named because it's original owner

Elizabeth Merriwick was

fond of wearing Grey.

Now as you see the house has

suffered from decades of neglect.

Another example of Middleton's Motto:

Looking to the Future,

Building on the Past.

Moving right along...

Maybe they'd like to hear

the legend of the Grey Lady?

Just a local legend

popular with school

children and the deluded.

Apparently she married some

sailor who hoisted anchor

then left her to languish and

perish nearly a century ago.

It's a depressing story.

His name was Captain Charles Hamlin,

splendid in his naval uniform.

It was love at first sight.

They spend two passionate months together

till he was called to

duty, never to return.

But every night for 28 years Elizabeth

kept a light burning in the window

until one night the light went out

and Elizabeth was found

dead of a broken heart.

Anyway, that's one version.

Hello Mrs. Tinsdale

and hi everyone, I'm Cassie Nightingale,

- owner of Grey House.

- Oh!

Would you like to come inside for a tour?

We're on a very tight schedule.

Well, the invitation is open, anytime.

And if you'd like you can

stop by my new shop on Main,

- The Bell, Book & Candle Shop.

- Your shop?

What do you sell?

Infinite possibilities.

And moving right along...

- Thank you, that was wonderful.

- Nancy!

Hello Lori.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm not scared.

How's your knee doing?

It's all better.

Dog's not bothering you anymore, is he?

No.

Can I what?
