                        By Raissa Devereux

                A Roman, through and through, he stays.
                Coins have they for the Ferryman
                To bring them to eternal days,
                And gain them both tans Elysian.

                Journeys Lacroix now to Janette,
                A new acquaintance beside him.
                Sidney becomes Uncle's new pet.
                Perverse token! Nat's faith won't dim.

                The pair are now beyond the veil,
                And Hades this is not they find.
                After they to this new shore sail,
                They are to old, good friends assigned.

                Cohen, as always, true to form
                Lays down the rules for them dead pan.
                "Invisibility's the norm,
                Although be viewed by some we can.

                Psychics, children, and animals
                Always see us," Amanda warns.
                "Joe Smo," chimes Schank, "old noise us calls
                While back he goes to soak his corns."

                Just then, Vachon, Tracy, and Urs
                Enter the scene to give some news.
                The dream they planted for the nurse
                Has given her the proper cues.

                Don sees his friends brought up to speed.
                "We've got an agency out here.
                Post-Life clients do come in need
                When woes with peace do interfere.

                A murdered guy came in today.
                The nurse by whom he was dispatched
                Did leave no trace and got away.
                The hole in justice must be patched!

                We can appear to folks in dreams.
                When on the waking plane, we can't
                Do more then move some chairs and seams
                Without a kid or psychic chant.

                The nurse would show us evidence
                Of guilt in sleep that cops could not.
                Justice is served when lack of sense
                Destroys the mortal system's shot."

                Trace speaks: "We can locate the stuff
                She dumped and leave a nameless tip.
                The cops then try to make it tough
                For her to give them all the slip."

                Come C. Du Champs and Denise Fort.
                Accounts he does for cash that leads
                To deaths unseen, while she brings out
                Clues lost through shock with psychic feeds.

                Now Nick tracks clues with partners two.
                Nat guides M.E.s invisibly.
                This team complete cannot be blue,
                When Screed sits in when back from sea.
