Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: The death of a wicked woman.

Amon’s words were like bullets firing accusations at Phoebe. It seemed like the man was blaming her for what was happening even before sharing the details.

“If you were one of my officers you would be under arrest right now for gross negligence of your job.” he added.

Phoebe crossed her arms across her chest and returned him an icy stare. “Well, I am not one of your officers Amon and i would watch the accusations. I should know what i am being accused of in the first place.” Phoebe was already offended by his sharp words.

“Let’s see….a ghost killed a pregnant woman tonight. We both know what that means. You and your ghost wish fulfilling cafe played a role in it. You should have reported the murder to the police no matter what the ghost wanted. Dead people do not dictate the terms of life for the living.”

Phoebe clenched her fists, and the unsettled feeling in her stomach finally begun to settle as she had an answer. Mason was the one that had killed Victoria and knowing her, she had probably done something to Desire Caldwell.

“I am not responsible for the actions of any human being and i reported the murder for your information.” She turned her head to Shark. “Go on, ask him.”

Amon’s eyes moved to Shark and he nodded, confirming that Phoebe had reported the case to him. He went ahead to brief him about everything up to the point of Desire Caldwell’s death, mentioning that Victoria had killed her.

“Victoria killed Desire…are you certain?” Phoebe asked. “Why?”

When she last saw her the woman was remorseful and very afraid that the ghosts would come after them again. What had compelled her to commit murder?

Clearing his throat, Shark smacked his lips. “I was wise enough to have a spy camera installed in Desire Caldwell’s room.” He looked at Amon and said with emphasis, “I know that it’s not legal and i was not going to do anything with it. All i was doing was keeping an eye on a helpless old woman.”

Amon snorted like he did not believe Shark at all. He was familiar with Shark’s tactics and glory hogging ways. He was the kind of detective that would do almost anything to break a case.

“Just tell her the rest of the story.” he waved his right hand dismissively.

“Well, the camera showed Victoria turning off the machines and taking off the old woman’s oxygen mask. She held a pillow over her face and within a short period of time Mason’s mother was dead. It happened last night and i didn’t see the footage until morning because we are busy with the cuckoo case.

My theory is that Victoria and Turner didn’t want to share the money but were buying time because Phoebe frightened them. So, they hatched a plan and she pretended to be remorseful. She stayed around the hospital and acted like a faithful daughter-in-law for sometime and the nurses started trusting her. When she thought that no one was watching, she killed the old woman.”

“Oh my word, what a wicked woman. How could she kill her mother-in-law for money after killing her husband? Where was her conscience? She is not a woman, she is a beast.” Old lady Mayfair lamented, reacting before everyone else.

Amon, filled with self righteousness chose to respond to her. “Well these things never end well, ghosts shouldn’t mix with humans at all. They are dangerous, with a flip of a switch, they can become evil.” His eyes looked at the ghosts in the cafe. “You should send them away.”

“This is our territory Mr ghost catcher and you aren’t supposed to vanquish good ghosts.” Connie opened her mouth and showed him the tip of her tongue.

Amon chuckled in return. He wanted to be on Phoebe’s good side so touching her ghosts was out of the question.

“What happened to Victoria?” Phoebe asked a more urgent question.

“She was found at the bottom of the stairs on the second floor of the hospital. She used the emergency stairs to sneak in and kill Desire so she exited the same way. The doctors couldn’t save her or the child in her belly.”

“Your ghost friend did it, which makes him an evil ghost now. He will not stop at one you know and the more he kills, the more irredeemable he will be. ” Amon chimed in informatively.

Phoebe pursed her lips and she looked down at her hands, one was trembling so she covered it with the other. There was a part of her which was indulging in self blame because she should have known better than to trust the words of two criminals.

“Where is he? What comes next is my part after all.” Amon touched his pocket and his hand came up with his bells.

“Say nothing, let us find him on time before he becomes pure evil and send him away. That man Mason had a good heart, its sad that those wicked people have reduced him to this.” The Saxon spirit gave Phoebe an empty stare and they communicated with their thoughts..

She nodded in return, she wanted to save Mason no matter what it took, not just because she was rewarded with energy but because Mason deserved to move on and get reincarnated.

“He is not here and you should leave now, ghost catchers are not welcome in my cafe, you know my rules.” She gave Amon a stoic stare.

The air in the cafe became somewhat chilly as the two stared each other down, each not backing off. Eventually, Amon gave in and he left with Shark.

Phoebe stood up as soon as Sylvester confirmed that they had driven off.

“Boss, you are going to look for him aren’t you?” Rosette asked.

Phoebe nodded. “I need to find him immediately, Grandma and Rosset please take care of the cafe You can reopen or go home since i sent all the customers away anyway.”

Rosette couldn’t stop her so she simply gave some advise. “Be careful boss, if he won’t listen, just give up, he is not your responsibility and you are not liable for his actions in any way. You tried your best to help him to the maximum of your capabilities, it’s not your fault that Victoria and Turner were just so wicked and greedy to the very end.”

She had to shout these words out loudly because Phoebe was already racing to the door and by the time the last words came out of her mouth, the door bell chimes were ringing.

Grandma Mayfair was very worried about Phoebe. Why did she have to go in search of an evil ghost?

“Why was Amon Drusus here and what is a ghost catcher?”

Rosette sighed and sat down beside the old woman. She decided to start educating her on all the ghost lingo she was familiar with and share what little she knew of Amon Drusus__, a high ranked police officer that moonlighted as a ghost catcher.

“Let’s start with ghost catchers, they are people that capture ghosts and send them to purgatory. Amon Drusus is the first and only one i have met…there are also ghost exorcisers….”
