Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Dirty cops and a fake name.

During the ride to the police station, Phoebe mulled over everything that had happened for the past few days but still she couldn’t come up with a good reason for her arrest. Inducing a suicide, whose suicide was it? She hoped that by the time she got to the police station, Shark would be waiting for her.

Still, she couldn’t just wait for Shark to find answers. Perhaps if the mean police officers were loose tongued, they might offer up some information.

“Hey officers, what am i under arrest for?” she yelled from the back.

“Shut your mouth.” The one in the passenger seat warned.

“But i have the right to know who is accusing me so that….”

Phoebe was not ready for the sudden fist to her cheek which caused her an incredible amount of pain.

“I said shut up.” The officer repeated.

Phoebe flinched and glared at the officer.

“You are going to pay for this, i swear.” she promised darkly.

The officer laughed and looked at her with contempt as he made a threat. “Keep talking and you will leave your teeth on the floor of this car.”

Before Phoebe could stubbornly respond, the Saxon spirit and Connie popped out of the pendant.

“Phoebe what the hell is going on? I sensed that something wasn’t right out here.” The Saxon spirit looked around curiously. “We are not in the shop anymore.”

Connie pointed at the cuffs. “Are those wait a minute.” Her index finger pointed at the officers. “Are you under arrest? What for?”

[I don’t know! I guess we will find out when we get to the station] Phoebe communicated to them through her thoughts.

“Oh my God, your face!” The Saxon spirit gasped. Quickly she gathered some energy to heal Phoebe.

“Don’t touch it, this is evidence of police brutality and a crime.” she turned her face away from the spirit. “I need to think, both of you should stay silent or return to the pendant.”

“Whatever it is I hope that Shark detective will get you out of it.” Connie sounded worried.

“So do I Connie.” Phoebe shut her eyes tightly.

When the car came to a stop, she was dragged into the police station like a common criminal by the two police officers that were rough handling her. They kept shoving her and one of them went so far as to pinch her ass.

“That’s sexual harassment.” she spat out.

“Sue me.” the man laughed.

“We will see about that.” she mumbled.

They took her to the officer that was in charge of booking criminals for the day. It was a middle aged woman that appeared to be exhausted and bored.

“Name?” she asked in monotone.

“Mia Andrews.” One of the officers was quick to answer.

Phoebe turned her head quickly, surprised at the deception. When she was arrested, they had used her real name and yet now they were assigning her a new name. She was not a fool, these two were up to something.

“That’s not…”

One of the officers slapped her on the back of her head before she could say more.

The booking officer looked up and raised her eyebrows curiously.

“Do we have a problem here?”

“No problem Maeve, just book the perp for attempted murder.” One of the officers laughed. “Say, why don’t we grab dinner together one of these days Maeve, i would like to hear all about your son Timmy’s new little league game. I have heard he pitches like a star.”

The female officer was successfully distracted and at the mention of her son’s name, forgot about the doubts she was having.

“Timmy will be a star in future, the kid has an arm which is faster than a rocket.” she said as she typed in the name Mia Andrews. “Fingerprints and mugshot time.” she said absentmindedly.

The two officers nodded at each other and one of them pulled on Phoebe’s arm but she didn’t move an inch.

“I am not Mia Andrews.” she shouted loudly. “I am Phoebe…”

The officers put a hand over her mouth but Phoebe was like a squirrel determined to evade capture and she bit his meaty hand. He removed his hand from her mouth while cursing.

“I can vouch for her, she is not Mia Andrews, she is Phoebe Hopkins or Gabriel.” Shark showed up and put himself between Phoebe and the officer that looked ready to beat her senseless. “What the hell is going on Sully? Why are you arresting my informant under a different name?”

Officer Sully looked at the other officer, asking him for a plan B. The other officer rushed over and laughed pretentiously.

“It’s none of your business Shark.”

He reached around to pull Phoebe out from behind Shark’s bark but Shark moved, blocking him.

“I don’t think so Amaro. I am not going to allow you book her unless i know what she did and how she did it. Do you two think that i am a fool? I know how dirty you both are and right now, you seem to be up to shady business. What have they said she did Maeve?”

The booking office had no idea what was going on so she told him what she had been told. “Attempted murder.”

Shark pulled his head back and laughed. “Phoebe, attempted murder! are you joking? I have seen her bandage injured ducks and cats on the side of the road. She doesn’t even kill flies and if she steps on an insect and kills it, she buries it with a whole funeral. I am surprised she is not even a vegetarian.”

The officer that punched Phoebe didn’t care to hear anything.

“This is the commissioner’s business Shark, stay out of it. Do you think you can take on the commissioner? You will be working traffic before the day ends if you keep protecting her.”

Shark turned around and raised his eyebrows at Phoebe. He wanted to help but he couldn’t fight the police commissioner.

“What the hell did you do to make the commissioner come after you?” he whispered to Phoebe.

“I don’t even know who that is.” Phoebe whispered back furiously.

“I think i can take on the commissioner.” A new voice joined the conversation.

Everything that was happening had caught the attention of the other officers, detectives and even criminals in the police station. At the mention of the commissioner, some had even drawn closer to know more.

“Deputy chief Amon.” Shark raised his chest and the other officers stood at attention or at least changed their body language to portray respect.

“At ease, everyone, i was just passing by when i saw my friend Phoebe and decided to listen for a while.” Amon smiled at Phoebe.

He thought that he would see relief or happiness on her face but instead she scoffed at him.

“Oh, you don’t look happy to see me, Pheebs.”

Phoebe was taken aback and she frowned, deeply. When did they become friends and why was he calling her Pheebs? Also, why was a ghost catcher working as the deputy chief of police?

Amon stepped up to Phoebe, bent down and looked at her eyes. “I see what looks like a black eye forming. Did they do this to you?”

Phoebe had long been waiting to report the two officers. She didn’t care who was willing to listen so she loudly reported for everyone in the station to hear.

“That one punched me and this one pinched my ass.”
