Located on the edge of Bourbon street, McMillian bookshop is a quaint little building stacked to the brim with books. If you can't find exactly what you need, just ask the owner Sandra and she'll help you out.
Open for business seven days a week. Just ring the bell if the shop is closed if you're in dire need of a book.

Josiah walks out of an alley and into the bookstore. He was surprised it was open this late.
Um....hello? he asks.

"And what may I do for you on this dark and dreary night kind sir?" A soft dreamy voice called from the back of the book store. A small reading lamp was turned on revealing a girl about the same age as Joe wearing a black off the shoulder dress that puffed out slightly. The sleeves of the dress were attatched underneath her arms so it left her shoulder's bare. Kind purple eyes looked up from the large volume she was reading and she smiled.

I.....um.....hehe......um...I was looking for some Arthur Conan Doyle books....like....Sherlock Holmes books........ says Josiah, looking down to hide that he was blushing.....a girl was talking to him! A pretty one! Even if it was her job, this was quite a rare occurence.

"Sherlock Holmes." She replied in her dreamy voice while she rose gracefully to her feet and moved across to a bookshelf, pausing to grab a rolling ladder. "I keep them all the way up top, which ones would you like?" She asked, looking at Josiah.

A Study in Scarlet.....if you have it..... says Josiah. He took a big gulp of air. Her voice was mesmerizing.

"Of course, I have every Sherlock Holmes book." She replied while she started to climb the ladder carefully. "Have you read the Italian Secretary? It's one of my favorite books...I've read it about five times." She added, making her way to the top of the book shelf. Unfortunately, she didn't see the wet spots on one of the rungs and ended up slipping, lossing her balance and falling off the ladder, letting out a little scream as she did so....Which was just as dreamy as her voice.

Joe runs to catch her.....right before she lands he turns into the Ghost for a split second....so fast it isnt even visible to the human eye, just so he has the strength to catch her, then just as quickly transforms back.......He actually manages to hold her up, surprising for his gangly body.
*pant* Gotcha he says.

"Ooooh I'm such a clutz." She said, hitting her skirt in frustration before she turned to look at Josiah, her pale cheeks turning a bright pink. "Thank you." She whispered, leaning up to kiss Josiah on the cheek then got down from his arms. "If you hadn't of catched me, I would have been seriously injured." She added before she grabbed another ladder (this one was safe) and climbed to the top of the book shelf, grabbed the book he wanted and slid back down, then offered it to him. "Here you go A Study in Scarlet."

Josiahs face turns a beet red when she kisses his cheek, just as a stack of newspapers lands in front of him from a deliveryman..... they read in big letters 'WHO IS THE CRIMSON GHOST?'. It seems the town was all abuzz about their new superhero.
I.....um....how...much...is....book? asks Joe.

"It's on the house." She replied, handing him the book. "Consider it a thank you for saving my life." She added with a smile. "Oh by the way, my name is Sandra."

Sandra smiled, taking Josiah's hand and squeezed it gently then let it go. "Well if you need any more books, don't hesitate to come here." She said with a curtsy then grabbed the stack of newspaper, ignoring the title. "Good night kind sir."

Joe smiled and turned to walk away....but h could hear Danny in his head.
Where do you think you're going squirt? Get back in there and get her phone number right the hell now hears Joe. He attempts to ignore it but he turns back around and heads to the desk.
Um....Sandra....I......never usually ask things like this but um......could I....have your phone number? asks Josiah.

"I don't have a cell phone." Sandra replied in her dreamy voice. "Though you could call me using the shop's number if you'd like." She added, pulling out a scrap piece of paper and writing it down then handed it to him. "The phone is down here, so I usually don't here it if I'm upstairs, however if you leave a message, I'll hear it. I check my messages every day."
