[ When she came in this morning to open the shop after the weekend, she'd been faced with an ethereal blue ghost curled up on the sofa reading a book, looking more solid and tangible than she's ever seen Mary. And Anathema, being Anathema, simply registered it with a bemused: Huh. The women wound up spending the day in amiable companionability, reading their respective books, or settling in for a game of rummy together, even as Anathema keeps glancing at the front door. As the hours grow longer and Klaus still doesn't show, though, her frown deepens. By the time Ben's message comes through— ]
Good timing, I was actually just about to text you. He didn't show up for his shift today. He's been pretty diligent about it, hospitalization aside, so I was wondering.
Is he alright? When did you last hear from him?
[ As she fires off the message, she heads into the back room to double-check that he isn't lying dead in the closet or something. She highly doubts he's there, but just in case... ]
[With Klaus' luck he wont be dead for long if he is laying dead in the back somewhere. but oh, Ben is glad to see words on the screen, then frowns as they aren't what he hoped for.]
I don't know if he's alright or not. He might just be avoiding me, but he has no reason to avoid work. Okay, so it's "work" and he might want to avoid that but, that aside, I haven't seen him since Halloween.

I know you hired my brother Klaus not too long ago. You wouldn't happen to have seen him recently? I've been trying to find him.
