Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: The band continues to grow.

During the service, Amon had stealthily disappeared from the congregation. This was because he was exhausted and needed a place to rest his head. If it wasn’t for the fact that his parents had insisted on him being at the funeral he would not have bothered. The Verdemonts were not among his favorite people, they were mostly criminals and he abhorred criminals.

He had moved around the cemetery, ignoring the ghosts that did not even give off a hint of fear when they saw his bell. The calmness made him uninterested in them so he continued on, in search of a resting place, it wasn’t long before he found a good hiding spot behind a big old tombstone.

It was grey in color with a carving of a baby angel on the sharp tip at the top. The name on the tombstone was Valeria Verdemont who had died in 1902. For an old grave, it was well cared for and happened to be right beneath a big tree, providing shade so Amon found it perfect.

He had been sleeping until the Phoebe-Katherine and then Miranda, David and grandma Mayfair loud tug of words woke him up.

He thought silence would return when they left but Shark showed up and things became more interesting. As his name was mentioned, he figured it was time to make a grand entrance.

“I hope you did not mind me resting here.” He spoke to the gentleman ghost that was resting on top of the grave next to the one he had been resting on.

Under normal circumstances, he would just shake the bell and force it to move on to the other side but Phoebe had made him to see things differently. Of course, he was not as blind as her, giving all ghosts a chance because even a harmless ghost could change and become harmful.

These Verdemont ghosts were just anchored to the family cemetery, they could not go anywhere even if they wanted to.

He saw the way Phoebe was watching him with guarded eyes and looking at ghosts as if she was ready to leap to their rescue and protect them from the big bad ghost catcher.

“Relax, i will not touch them and there is no need to fill me in on your plotting.” He stood and straightened out his arms. A weary smile played on his lips as he approached the group. “I heard everything, if you wanted to keep this private then you should have checked the surroundings around you first. Cemeteries are great places for shady business but it does not mean the absence of witnesses.”

David rolled his eyes. “Just tell us if you are in or out.” He shifted his weight from one foot to another.

“Of course i am, anything to help Phoebe.” His smile broadened when his eyes shifted to her.

He was looking at her like he was interested in more than just helping. A loud growl came out of David’s mouth, he felt his position being threatened each time a man showed too much interest in Phoebe especially because they were not exactly exclusive.

They were still playing relationship chicken, no…she was the one doing that and he was all in.

Amon chuckled briefly, his smile had been deliberate as he wanted to tick David off. The Saxon needed his ego to be brought down a little.

Phoebe was not in the mood for any testosterone comparison matches, she just wanted this meeting ended.

“What’s the plan? You had those two before so how did they escape being thrown off the force?”

“They have connections, remember! CPD is a complicated organization, Sully and Amaro are just two small cogs in the machine, an organization of corrupt cops nation wide. We want to capture the entire group so we have been keeping an eye on them but this is a serious case so we can ditch them, we have others anyway.”

His answer made perfect sense to her, indeed those two corrupt cops had been backed by someone high up back then.

“You need to arrest those two corrupt cops as soon as possible. What if they smell a rat and alert the rest of the group?”

Nodding in agreement, Amon moved his lips to the side. “I can do it tomorrow but just as Shark has informed you, we need to get the evidence before that so that they can’t escape. My people, Paula and detective Shark here can handle that tonight. You guys can leave that to us.”

David frowned immediately. “No way! We have to come too.” He spoke with fervent determination.

“Are you are cop? Do you even know of the basic requirements for collecting evidence? There are dangerous people at that club and you want to walk in with your screaming famous white hair. Don’t you think that all eyes will be on you?

You have not been seen in a club in Fog city for over a year now because you stopped partying. If you show up and those two are arrested the next day, don’t you think that it will be suspicious? As soon as Amaro and Sully learn that you passed by the Freezing moon, they will tie this back to you and Phoebe.” Amon’s face marred deep lines of worry.

“And you two won’t be recognized?” David sarcastically asked.

On hearing his words, Amon chuckled. “And who said that we were going there ourselves?”

Phoebe’s eyes opened wide as she suspected to understand what his question meant. “Then who? Are you sending someone else undercover?”

“Yes.” Both cops answered almost in unison.

On hearing their plan, Phoebe shook her head in disagreement. What if what happened to Paula happened again. “You said the people in there were dangerous….”

“Besides the decorative dish is in the ladies bathroom on the VIP floor, not just any commoner can access it. It would take months before that person gets a chance to upgrade to that floor.” Paula interjected. “The club security has been upgraded since my death, they are not hiring any new workers or adding new VIP’s to their list for the moment to avoid another infiltration. It is going to be next to impossible for any undercover cop to make it to the top floor.”

She made a valid point that Amon and Shark hadn’t yet thought about. Usually for such a case, a team had to sit and strategize on how to proceed. But in this case there was no time for that and the less people knew about it the better.

“Damn it!” Shark kicked the air to express his frustration. Initially this seemed like a piece of cake but it was getting harder by the minute.

Amon clapped once and blinked frequently when an idea came to him. “There is only one route that we could take, we already know of a celebrity that suits the role perfectly.” He elevated his brows and stared at Phoebe who caught on quickly.

“No, no not him.” She shook her head vehemently. “Not my brother, no way.”
