Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Hungry but not for food.

Shark scrambled as well, getting as close to Claire as he could in order to see what she had missed. He was so eager that he accidentally bumped Claire out of the way and the medical examiner glared at him.

“Are you trying to do my job Shark?”

He stepped aside and pretentiously played around with the toothpick in his mouth. Phoebe on the other hand decided to save them all some time and share what Yin had told her.

“It’s an injection or needle mark, so small that it’s easily missed. Yin said that place smells like poison.” She raised her hand before any questions could be asked.

“He doesn’t know what kind of poison it is and neither do i. I am sure you took some blood samples from her so do the tests and see what you find. Check for rare toxins too, nothing can be dismissed easily at this point.” Turning to Shark, she said, “She is not here…Susie. Let’s go and start the search beginning from the places she was fond of the most.”

“It’s officially a homicide, right?” Shark asked Claire.

Claire nodded.

“Yes!”

Excited, Shark pumped his fist into the air. The two woman were so familiar with his insensitiveness at such a time that their faces did not register any reaction.

The detective headed for the door in a rush, jogging away from the table quickly.

“Let’s go, hurry.” he yelled out to Phoebe who was still saying her goodbyes to Claire.

Shark started making calls as soon as his feet stepped out of the autopsy room.

“Chief, the medical examiner has just declared Susie Isles death a homicide. It’s a case of murder by poisoning, there is an injection mark under the armpit. I am requesting for your help in acquiring warrants for the homes of all the suspects and…..”

He babbled on into his phone while Phoebe shook her head. Once they found Susie, if she hadn’t moved on yet and her ghost was still around the case would be solved easily. However, Shark was a slimy detective, a trickster and attention hog. In order to blow up the case, he would search all those houses and reporters would get good pictures of him carrying boxes of items from different houses.

She didn’t need to have special abilities in order to know that he would also handcuff the other members of Dear girls or the company CEO unnecessarily while declaring everyone a suspect.

He was going to create a mess in the city…, no the country with this one case.

On stepping out of the building, Phoebe walked smack dab right into David, unexpectedly.

She was taken aback on seeing him, so much so that her eyes widened in horror.

[What the heck? Why is he here?]

Phoebe stared at his face quizzically, the only thing that made sense was that the man was following her.

“Oh fancy seeing you here Pheebs.” There was an element of surprise in David’s voice which was funny because he had followed her to the medical examiners office.

He was on his way to work when he saw her getting into a cab so he followed.

Detective Shark quickly took the opportunity to introduce himself, he couldn’t miss this opportunity of shaking hands with a Saxon. The man made sure that he took a selfie which he planned to post later on all his socials.

Unlike Shark, Phoebe considered this to be an unpleasant surprise but either way she managed to let a smile grow on her lips.

[As expected of Shark, i am surprised he is not asking for an autograph as well. By the way, why does David keep calling me Pheebs like we are close acquaintances.]

Phoebe’s eyes narrowed before she asked if he was following her.

“There is no reason for you to be here unless a Saxon died.” She spoke with a lot of resentment which confused David. It was clear as day that Phoebe had some kind of grudge against him. What was even more puzzling was the fake smile she wore.

Before he could respond to her heartless comment, the Chief medical examiner walked up to them and stretched his hand towards David.

He didn’t walk in fact, he run as if David was escaping after commiting a crime.

“Mr. Saxon? Thank God you hadn’t left yet. I want to thank you for the generous donation that you have made towards the office of the medical examiners. You do not know how much we needed it, thank you sir. I can promise you right now that it will be put to good use.” The chief held onto David’s hand tightly, shaking it continuously.

On hearing this, Phoebe’s eyes widened again, this time due to a different kind of surprise.

[Unbelievable! And I just assumed that he was following me. Dang it Phoebe, you and your big mouth will really land in hot soup one of these days.]

Phoebe shut her eyes tightly, she could feel the shame envelope her entire being.

David couldn’t help but chuckle on reading her thoughts, he was aware that she was embarrassed so he didn’t rub it in instead he said goodbye and left.

“This is how you plan to woo the man? Asked the Saxon spirit which was very disappointed, it wanted Phoebe to utilize such moments to bring David closer.

Shark pulled on her hand as he questioned Phoebe why she never told him that she knew David Saxon personally.

“I do not know the man.” She spoke with indifference

“Come on, you are talking to a detective and the man called you Pheebs, how do you know him? What is the nature of your relationship? He looked at you with hungry eyes and not hungry for food, if you know what i mean.”

Shark made his eyebrows dance up and down while smiling lewdly.

Phoebe entered his black G- wagon and gave him a pointed look. “Am sorry detective, am I under interrogation? Keep this up and i won’t be helping you anymore.”

Shark cleared his hoarse throat and began to drive to the Citrus grove water garden.

“I have a list of all the places Susie liked to hung out from, this was top of the list. She loved spending time at the Citrus grove water garden mostly because it’s a private place and they have an orange orchard which happened to be her favorite fruit.” He shared with Phoebe as they pulled up to the place.

There was no need for Phoebe and Shark to search the area, she ordered the two ghosts and Yin to do it because it was faster.

After waiting for about six minutes, those that had gone to search for Susie returned with bad news, she wasn’t there.

“Next is the TK Entertainment, the company she worked for. Susie spent a lot of time there, it’s possible that she went there.” Said Shark as he ignited the car.

“Maybe she moved on?” Connie mentioned and further complained especially about the fact that Susie had moved so far away from her body, searching for her had become a chore.

“It’s not possible that she did since she died so unfairly, it’s possible that she’s wallowing in self pity. I hope that we find her in time before her sadness turns into vengeance. Besides we have searched only one place so far, it’s too early to complain, you lazy ghost.” Phoebe gave Connie a sharp look but the ghost pursed it’s lips in return.

“Like i said, annoying.” Shark commented.
