Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Saving Valerie__1

The Novemberfest music carnival was held for three days every year and there was always a specific theme for each year. The theme this year was ‘Into the wild.’ All participants were expected to dress up in outfits that embraced nature, adventure and the wild.

It was one of the biggest events held in Magic city with people coming from all around the world to attend. It was not unusual to see celebrities from all walks of life in attendance.

First time attendee Phoebe had decided to go with a cat themed look, dressing up in a Halloween costume as she had not had ample time to prepare an outfit. She had let Connie paint whiskers on her cheeks and to finish the cat lady look she placed a black cat ears head band over her hair.

“All done.” Connie brows danced for she was satisfied with her work.

Phoebe moved to stand in front of a mirror, a smile formed on her face on seeing the simple but cute makeup.

“Thank you Connie, you can go back home and help Rosette at the cafe.”

“But I thought that i was also going to the music carnival!” Connie made some hesitant moves, it was like as if she was weighed down by inner turmoil. “I will help to search for Valerie please just let me come with you.”

Her pouted lips and sad puppy eyes didn’t faze Phoebe at all. There was no way Connie was going to help with anything when some of her favorite artists were going to be at the carnival.

She would disappear and they would not hear from her until the carnival was closed. Phoebe did not want to add the search for Connie to the search for Valerie.

“Let her come and Connie remember that Valarie is the priority. If i notice otherwise, I’ll send you back to the cafe with a snap of a finger.” The Saxon spirit’s eyes were glazed with a warning.

The spirit did not want them to dally as they went back and forth on this matter. Connie was not going back to Citrus city on her own. It was best for the girl to follow and help if she could.

Connie huffed silently. “You don’t have to threaten me old witch, I know that this mission is important to sister Phoebe.”

When Phoebe came out of the room, everyone was already waiting, ready to go. The most dressed person was Evelyn who was wearing a full tiger jumpsuit with a tail at the back.

Nothing had changed about her grandmother and David, they were in the same clothes, her a flowy green dress and him, a suit.

Andre was wearing an overly decorated mask with jungle prints. He was wearing a white tank top and one of Collin’s new cargo pants which Phoebe was sure he had borrowed without informing the owner.

“There you are…..” Grandma Mayfair brightened up. She thought her granddaughter was the cutest thing ever and instantly turned into a camera woman using her phone to capture pictures.

“Wow shortie! Looking lovely as ever.” David interjected, “I cannot actually believe that you are going to this thing.” He added.

Phoebe frowned slightly, he could have stopped at wow, skipped shortie and continued to looking lovely as ever. The man simply loved to push her buttons at every turn.

“I am not going for fun, by the way do you have a recent photo of Valarie Saxon, your cousin?” She asked David whose brows shot up immediately.

Grandma Mayfair became interested immediately. “Why? Does your going to the carnival have anything to do with her?” She had come to understand that Phoebe didn’t just change her mind without a good reason.

She had this nagging sense that Phoebe’s sudden desire to go for the music carnival was for something other than dancing or eating.

Phoebe nodded her head which compelled Evelyn to sigh in frustration.

“I knew that it was too good to be true. And to think that i really thought that you wanted to loosen up and go crazy. Please do not tell me that this is a ghost issue and she is the ghost.”

“No it’s not!” David quickly jumped in. “My niece is alive.”

Phoebe swallowed hard. “Not if we don’t save her today, she will not live long if we do not hurry up.” She gave David the believe me look.

His mind flushed back to the time Valerie had died in the past and if memory served him right, it was two weeks from the current date.

He had been away on a business trip when she died and by the time he came home, Valerie had been buried already. All he was told by his grandmother was that she had died in some kind of accidental fire, nothing more.

Valerie was from the fifth branch of the Saxon clan and she was only twenty so she and David did not interact much. Still, he knew everyone in the family and Valerie had a good reputation for being kind and helpful.

It would be a shame if something terrible happened to the girl. David sent Phoebe a picture as she requested and he forwarded Valerie’s phone number to Roxanne for tracing.

Phoebe sent Valerie’s picture to everyone that was going including the security team Luna had assigned her, they were to help in the search because most of the city was considered to be Elithera territory. With their many connections, perhaps it was possible for them to rescue her much faster than her.

Once they reached the stadium grounds were the carnival was being held, the group split up and each of them left with at least four bodyguards. David stuck with Phoebe who took out a paper map of magic city.

“David give me your hand.”

He did and Phoebe pricked one of his fingers without warning.

“Ouch!” He winced.

Phoebe laughed softly as she dropped a drop on the map. “Sorry I forgot to give you a heads up because i am in a hurry.”

“Pheebs, what kind of danger are we talking about? What is it that happened to Valerie in the past? Didn’t she die in a fire?”

“No.” She answered without hesitation.

She took a few steps forward to follow the line of those going into the stadium. David however stopped her because he had more questions and a lot of confusion.

“What do you mean? If she did not die in the fire then what killed her? Why was the family told something else?”

Phoebe looked him in the eyes and she sighed. “HIV, or as some people say to this day, an unmentionable disease. Look, there is no time to discuss the details. You don’t know about it because her family covered it up.

Not only did she get such a disease but she took her own life. If such news became public i guess it would have damaged the Saxon reputation.” Phoebe twisted her lips as she pulled him to the front of the line. “Let’s hurry, I need to find Valerie, her life depends on it.”

David that was lost in a mild sea of thoughts was dragged along and they were allowed through easily after some of the men Luna had lent her identified themselves.

Inside the massive stadium however, Phoebe was faced with a new challenge in terms of people. They were too many and they were everywhere. Her eyes focused on the drop of blood on the map that was meant to guide her through an ocean of people that were camouflaged.

They were drinking dancing, jumping and it was loud with different music booming from six different directions because there were six independent stages.

Locating Valerie was not the problem, getting to her was. Weaving through the crowds would be difficult.

“Crap!”
