Suddenly, they heard it.

"Culpepper..."

Behind them.

"Cuuullpeppperrr..."

Above them.

"CULPEPPER!"

Gramps and Jenny both turned around, very slowly.  And there, they saw him.

Naked he was, and floating.  Above the pool, right where Jenny's projection
had been hanging not five minutes before.  There were no visible means of
support, and Gramps was pretty sure the man wasn't any hologram.  At least,
not any hologram -his- technology could produce.

He wasn't glowing, though.

"Culllpepperrrrr..." the man repeated, pointing his long, bony finger at
them.  "That was a meeeeean thing to doooo..."

Gramps started to stalk around the pool, keeping his eyes on the man in the
air.  "What do you want from us?"

"Want?  From youuuu? ?  Not from youuu, but from youuu, only..."  The man
gestured at Jenny.  "Sheee is just a child, innocent of the charrrges..."

Gramps looked at Jenny, who was staring wide-eyed at the naked form above

her from behind, covering her mouth and, more importantly, her eyes.

"This vision is not for your young eyes to corrupt, child.  Leave it to me."
Still holding Jenny behind him, Gramps turned back to the man above the
pool.  "Only innocent until you showed up in your obscenity to.. argh!"

Gramps stumbled, dropping Jenny, and held his head.

"Cullllpepperrrr, you let *meeee* decide what is obsceeeene, you dirty-old-
man-who-tells-stories-of-naked-women-to-small-boys."

The pounding in his head stopped, and Gramps looked up again.  "Okay, okay,
you got me, what do you want?"

"First, I want you to take that child home before she catches her death of
cold in exactly... " the apparition looked at his naked wrist and swore. 
"about fifteen minutes.  Then..."
