Stevie Cartright has been ignoring the fact that she is in love with her spirit of her International Man of Mystery a/k/a ex-spy Crispin Alistair Winterbottom for more than two years.  Together they have solve mysteries and murders, rescued animals and even while straddling two different planes of existence, they have created a life together.   But she will come to regret keeping her feelings to herself.

When Win disappears in the middle of their argument of what to serve for their upcoming Thanksgiving banquet, Stevie at first believes that Win has gone off to have a tantrum on Plane Limbo. All too soon she realizes that there is more going on than just a ghostly sulk and her life may never be the same.

None of the reasons for her missing BFF are good. Win has either decided to finally go over into the light; he is trying to return to the Earthly Plane by jumping into a new body, ignoring with all the things that could go terribly wrong and that he could lose his very soul; or worst yet, what if warlock Adam Westfield, who stole Stevie's magic and has vowed to destroy Stevie and everything she loves, has done something to Win.

How is Stevie going to solve her most important mystery of her life without the help of her Spy Guy on a plane she can't reach? When Stevie starts finding odd "clues," she isn't certain what they mean or if they are even from Win. What if this is just a trap set by Adam? If it will save Win, Stevie is willing to play Adam's game. In fact, there isn't anything Stevie won't do for a chance to tell Win once and for all that she loves him, but is she simply too late?

This was the Afterschool Special version of our fun-loving spirit/witch team. Such an emotional story as we can do nothing but watch Stevie breakdown over losing Win. She is following clues as best she can when she is worlds away from where Win disappeared. She isn't certain that they clues she finds are even from Win or what they could possibly mean. When rumor hits that Win might have simply decided to finally move on into the light -- without even saying goodbye -- Stevie absolutely loses it.

This isn't the final story of the series but things will be very different from here on out. I can only imagine what will happen next.
