Dale snorted. Scoffed. Made a disgusted noise.
"Ghosts. My god," he groaned.
"Oh?"
"They’re not real," he said. "I don’t know why people fall for that hogwash."
Stacey gave him an amused look. "You live in the 87th century and you fall for that crock?"
"What?"
"Scientific proof of ghosts and spirits came up in 67-and-something. Demons and such are shit, but ghosts…"
Dale shuddered. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. "You’re lying."
"No." She pulled out her handheld and punched a few buttons on the 3D keyboard. "Here’s the studies. They’re quite entertaining. Even mathematical reasons for spontaneous human combustion."
Dale snatched it from her and stared down at the screen. One word flashed before his eyes:
"Gotcha."
