Chapter 292 Hanna Scorpio, Shark's nemesis.
Phoebe judged from the eyes of the Saxon spirit that it was bad; bad enough to make an already pale centuries old ghost even paler.
The spirit did not stick around and it left again which added more urgency to the problem at hand. She turned her head to the detective that was on his phone texting.
"Shark, that case Heinz was talking about, steal it, it's ours so go grab it now using any means necessary and let's get started."
His eyes widened for about five seconds as processed what she meant. The case Phoebe was talking about had already been assigned to another detective but if weird spooky stuff and ghosts were involved, it would end up a cold one. The case had already caught the eyes of Heinz, it would likely evolve into something big.
"Understood." He struggled to hide his smile but he could not even stop his carnivorous teeth from showing through the small groan.
He knew that by the time he closed it his face would be on the front page of all news papers and he would be rewarded with a heavy bonus. He moved ahead quickly in
Hanna Scorpio stepped inside, unknown to her a ghost was right on her heels, one which smiled in relief on seeing Phoebe.
Hanna first looked around the room, observing everyone inside briefly. She was like Shark, familiar with the faces of the big wigs in the city so she recognized them all.
She nodded at them briefly before turning to David.
"Mr. Saxon, how can I help you sir?" Detective Hanna smiled.
"I will go straight to the point Scorpio, it's about the case that you have been assigned, can you give it to Shark? I will owe you one."
Shark snorted, he was ready for her to say no.
"Sure, nothing beats owing a Saxon in this country. It looks like it's about to be a cold case anywhere, there are no leads at all. An accident if you asked me." Hanna spoke nonchalantly.
Amazed, Shark's jaw dropped on the floor. "Just like that? You are not going to make any demands, make smart remarks or brag?"
"No, a Saxon owes me a favor, the way i see it, i have been rewarded." Hanna turned and left them as suddenly as she had joined them.
She left them all baffled, especially Shark. Even though they had got what they wanted, he felt like he had been played. The Hanna he had come to know would ask questions before surrendering. Wasn't she curious about why he wanted the case?
David meanwhile was not baffled, he was smiling like a fool as a rush of triumph enveloped him. In the battle to show off influence between a Mayfair and a Saxon and he had won.
"This is nothing to brag about, either way Shark was getting the case, you just got lucky Saxon." Collin wasn't about to accept defeat.
The initial rush of triumph that David felt quickly faded and he sneered lightly.
Phoebe was too busy engaged in a conversation with the psychologist that she hardly noticed the battle for power between her boyfriend and her brother.
Grandma Mayfair was the same, her ghost seeing glasses were already in place and she was watching Phoebe question the ghost.
"The bones found at the play ground was that your work? Did you kill that child too?" She questioned, her narrowed eyes suspiciously studied the shocked ghost.
