Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: A tragedy.

He passed by Amon, Shark and a strange woman with strange tattoos on her arms and slightly visible upper chest thanks to the small crop top she was wearing.

The two men tried to catch him but Mason’s strength was unmatched and he was so fast that he left a gush of wind behind. Nevertheless they all run after him with the strange woman pointing out that they should catch him before he harmed anyone.

Phoebe knew that she was the exorcist that had spooked Mason, her untimely arrival had ruined every chance of Mason being redeemed. As far as he knew, she had betrayed him and he would not listen to her anymore.

Mason shoved a lot of people out of his way as he was running away. There were many truckers at the rest stop and different people that had stopped to purchase snacks, use the bathrooms or take a break before continuing on their journeys. Mason made it a point to cause chaos by pushing and using them to block his pursuers.

When he reached the road, he yanked a driver out of the taxi and drove off laughing maniacally.

“He’s going after Turner.” Phoebe yelled as they entered their respective cars. They drove after him in a bid to catch to catch him.

The rest stop was only fifteen minutes away from the police station. As long as they overtook him, they could stop him.

Amon put on the police siren to alert other drivers to stay out of the way, he also used a police issued speaker to ask Mason to stop driving. The tactics didn’t work as Mason continued to drive recklessly to the point of running a red light, because of this so many cars collided into each other in the intersection including his.

“Fucking great, just great.” Amon sneered as he rushed out of the car.

Mason was now running towards the station which was now in sight, he kept looking back at the people that were hot on his tail.

Suddenly, the security guards body which he had possessed became flaccid as it fell to the ground. Mason, the now malicious ghost jumped out of his body and floated away.

“Amon hurry up before he possesses someone else.”

Rekha shouted. She rushed to the security guard and checked for a pulse. “He is alive, thank God.” She sighed deeply.

On entering the station, the Saxon spirit switched on the emergency alert system. The people in the building began to vacate including the criminals.

“I’ve got this one.” Amon told an officer that wanted to escort Turner out. He looked inside the interrogation room but didn’t see the ghost. Still, there were many signs that he was close by.

The moment Turner saw Phoebe he began to tremble, the flickering lights and pungent smell were freaking him out. He put two and two together, figuring out that Mason was close by. He knew that Victoria’s death was likely to be Mason’s work and it meant he was next on the list.

“Save me please, i…I don’t want to die.” He shamelessly begged.

Phoebe told Connie to scatter rock salt around the cell such that Mason had no access to him.

Connie jeered at him. “If you wanted to live so badly why did you kill an innocent man and his mother? I say we let Mason kill him such that his banishment to purgatory is justified.”

Shaking his head, Amon stared at Connie. “As much as Turner is wicked, he’s still human. We ghost catchers protect humans unlike your boss here.” His eyes moved to Phoebe who was taking out talismans to trap Mason. She placed them on four parts of the wall in a protective circle. When she was done, she dusted her hands.

“What are you doing?” Amon asked her.

He recognized the circle and understood the meaning of the talismans. Phoebe was apparently still determined to play savior.

“I want to talk to him first and try to save him one last time.” Phoebe curtly spoke.

Rekha walked forward. “She’s insane, there is no bargaining with him, he killed two humans, on an innocent soul, a baby. His dark energy can be felt from miles away. Baby girl you cannot save him, i am speaking from my years of experience. I am Rekha by the way, an exorciser with twenty years of experience.”

She started chanting and went ahead to summon the ghost because she could do it.

Mason appeared in the midst of the protective circle and he looked confused. Phoebe saw traces in him of the old Mason she had met at the cafe the very first time, the good ghost that simply wanted to save his mother and move on.

“Phoebe.” he called out, sounding frightened. The dark cloud around him was gone and his voice was back to normal.

“See, i told you that he would find himself, Mason it’s not too late for you…” Phoebe’s words trailed off when Amon shook the bell once and the illusion Mason had created for them to see faded.

The dark energy returned, and this time, even his eyes were bloody. He looked less human than he did before.

“Ohhh she’s naive too.” Rekha chortled. “These evil spirits can manipulate a human by creating a world that they want you to see, what you were seeing was not real. It’s time for you to stop and let us do our jobs or more humans will die.”

Phoebe’s heart broke and quickly, tears fell from her eyes. Mason deserved a happy ending more than anyone else she had helped before. Why had nothing worked out despite her doing everything right? Perhaps if she had stayed in the hospital by Desire’s bedside, things would be different. Maybe she should have insisted that he move on immediately after his mother’s surgery. Perhaps Amon was right….

The Saxon spirit wiped Phoebe’s tear and intervened, pulling her from all the doubts she was having.” It is not your duty to baby sit them. Even without you stepping in there was a possibility that Desire Caldwell would have died as a result of the sickness, and Mason would still have ended up killing Victoria and Turner because they would have been responsible for her death due to negligence. Child he is far too gone, it hurts us too but we can’t save him.”

Amon pulled out another short silver rod of bells out of his jacket making them two. Because this was a ghost with strong resentment and anger, he needed more than one bell to banish it.

He shook the bells continuously while Rekha chanted creating a portal. The sound of the bells took Mason off balance, he tried to resist but he got sucked inside anyway.

What broke Phoebe’s heart was that he kept wailing and calling her to help him and saying he didn’t want to go. She didn’t do anything and for the first time since she started helping ghosts Phoebe felt like a total failure.

Her legs gave away as she fell to the floor and sobbed brokenheartedly.

“He didn’t deserve this….” she said continuously.

Amon crouched beside her and handed her a white handkerchief which she took.

“Maybe not but what about the innocent baby that died or the security guard that he possessed? He is going to be charged for causing that accident that happened earlier, his life is ruined too and we cannot help him even if we wanted to.” He patted her back.

The Saxon spirit cleared its throat. “Well just to remind you, evil ghosts only possess evil humans i am sure that it will do the community good if that man is imprisoned. We should not blame each other, this case was just a tragedy.”
