Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Shark’s findings____1

She packed her bag and left as well feeling better than she had in a long time. It was because it had been so long since she last ate such a filling homemade meal.

Her phone rung while she was in the elevator and she looked at it, sneered and put it away. It was her mother calling so she deliberately ignored it. A call from any of the Gabriels was not welcomed anymore.

Her attention was captured by a very curious spirit which wanted answers.

“You said yes to the date easily. I expected you to say no since you have been singing about how much you don’t like him, is he growing on you dear?” The Saxon spirit tried to block Phoebe’s path but unsuccessfully as she passed through it like it was nothing more than wind.

Phoebe entered the car and ignited it. “I still don’t like him but If he is my destiny like you are always singing then i cannot avoid him. He found me here so even if i run, he will find me again. I have better plans in store for him now.” She smiled slyly.

The Saxon spirit was quite knowledgeable about her plan to use David as a weapon against Ruth. As long as it brought Phoebe and David closer, it didn’t matter.

She drove herself to the city medical examiner’s office while playing music to which Connie sung along loudly. The girl knew the lyrics to every song like an automated machine. Phoebe was in a good mood so she simply laughed and encouraged her.

On arrival at the Citrus City Medical examiner’s office, she went straight to Claire’s office. She had called her the previous night and made an appointment with her. Although Claire was booked and busy, she had cleared her schedule because Phoebe said that it was important and she was the only person that she could trust.

When Claire’s assistant announced Phoebe’s arrival, Claire took off the gloves and gown and asked the assistant to continue examining stomach contents of a victim.

“Hey Pheebs, am nervous about whatever this request is, yours are usually very odd.” Claire laughed nervously as they walked her office. She went ahead to close the blinds in there just to make Phoebe feel at ease.

“Morning.” Phoebe greeted in a cheerful voice. She then reached inside the tote bag that she was carrying and pulled out a small clear bag.

She went ahead and handed it to Claire whose brows moved up.

“What is this?” She pulled it closer to her face. “Is that…”

Phoebe nodded. “Hair? Yes it is. I want you to help me do a DNA test and what more credible place than here.”

Claire was curious so she looked quizzically at Phoebe. “Okay but whose DNA do you want to compare this to.”

“Mine, I want to know if I am in any way related to that person.”

Phoebe’s words that elicited a silence in the room. Claire asked no more questions, she pulled out a few strands of Phoebe’s hair and kept it separately on the side.

“You know, if you provide some blood or saliva and the identity of this mystery person i can make a comparison if said person is in the DNA database.”

“No, i don’t want even a whisper of what i am asking you to do to slip out. It’s better to remain anonymous, completely.” Phoebe turned Claire down.

“Okay then, i am going to take it right now and you’ll get the results in two days.” Claire patted Phoebe on the shoulder and left quietly.

Phoebe too walked out almost immediately after her friend left. She walked to the parking lot with her head lowered, when she reached her car, she opened the door then she heard someone cuss.

Unintentionally she looked in the direction from which the voice came from, she saw Shark and his partner, detective Johns.

She closed her car door and and approached them.

“Hey Shark, you look like you are having a bad morning. Did you post an ugly picture of yourself online?” Phoebe asked because the man kept flexing his muscles and punching the air.

She made light of his anger because she had no idea what was eating him.

“Pheebs? Why are you here?” he asked.

“I passed by to see Claire.” she replied casually.

“Who’s the babe Sharks?” Detective Johns slicked back his hair and smiled at Phoebe. He put on what he considered to be his killer smile.

Shark went ahead to introduce Phoebe to Johns a little impatiently.

“Johns, Phoebe and Phoebe, Johns. Now we all know each other.”

Detective Johns stretched his hand to her. “You are the Phoebe Shark described as his hidden ace. You are much younger and more beautiful than I thought. You are not the woman i pictured from all the stories he has told me about you.”

Phoebe returned his handshake. “All good stories I hope.”

In the back of mind, she recalled all the times Shark had complained about Johns, calling him slow and incompetent. Who knew what he was saying about her to Johns.

“Nothing bad, nobody could have a reason to talk ill about a beauty like you.” he laughed.

After they exchanged greetings, Miller tapped once on Shark’s shoulder. “Buddy, this isn’t the end of the world, maybe next time.” He smiled at Phoebe and left.

“Why is your world ending Shark?” Asked Phoebe who folded her arms, leaned against his car and studied his face. He was visibly angry.

Shark kicked the air and turned to her. “Can you believe that after all the hard work that I put into solving the Susie Isles case, I wasn’t given my promotion! Can you believe it? All that I was given was this stupid envelope while my superior was promoted to lieutenant.” He threw the white envelope on the ground, dollar notes peeped out of it.

Phoebe bent and picked it, she checked inside and whistled loudly in wonder. “This is what ten thousand, I’ll be grateful to take this if you don’t want it….”

He snatched it from her and put it back in the pocket. “You are missing the point! I burst my ass because I need that promotion.”

A chuckle escaped Phoebe’s lips and pointed to herself. “You mean I burst my ass because my ghost seeing abilities gave the name of the killer. Your anger on this one is unjustified, be grateful that you were rewarded. That promotion will come at the right time.”

Her words quickly humbled him because he knew that she had a point but that didn’t stop him from sulking and grumbling unhappily.

“But still my superior didn’t deserve the promotion either. He didn’t do anything but bark and demand for results. It’s infuriating i guess. Next time, i will solve the case on a live broadcast or something.”

She rolled her eyes and decided to ask about his investigation into her since they had bumped into each other anyway. “Do you have anything on my case? No matter how small or irrelevant, just tell me.”

He shrugged. “Honestly there is nothing shady about this investigation, not yet anyway. You, Phoebe Gabriel were born at the St. Marcelino children’s hospital. It’s a luxurious hospital where most of the wealthy women in this city give birth to their babies from. Your parents wouldn’t have been able to afford it if wasn’t for the employment benefits that your father got as a member of staff. He was working there as a security guard at the time.”
