The major's revelations frightened them especially Phoebe and Amon, they knew very well what his words ant.
"Sothing had to be done before they start possessing people. Are they freed like you are? Or are they still trapped down there." Amon held his bells tightly.
"Down there, the seal was broken only on our side slightly but i reckon that soon they will realize that there is an escape path. You have hours at most and then they will co to the surface and wreck havoc." The major shared.
David began making phone calls imdiately. The first person he called was the governor of the north, he asked if there had been anything strange in the last twenty four hours to which the governor said no.
"That's a relief for now, those ghosts will do more harm than good and we are going to need your help Major. You need to lead to that place and show exactly where you escaped from." Amon told him.
He started making phone calls, rallying his own ghost catching troops Phoebe guessed because she heard him ntioning Rekha's na.
Phoebe had heard the word treasure, and she was planning to hop onto this cavalry. She had just used a lot of money and resources to feed hundreds of hungry ghosts, soone had to pay the bill.
"We are going, right?" The Saxon spirit communicated with her directly in her mind.
Phoebe nodded.
"The the easiest way to get rid of the evil ghosts without ghost catching bells was to pour salt on their bones and burn their bones and all their belongings. We should leave soon." The spirit advised.
"What will you do with the bones of the enemy?" Major Mitford asked them.
"We have to burn them, this way even if they have traveled miles away, they will still be vanquished. This is top secret information because we do not know how the governnt of Eagle country will react when this information lands in their ears. We are not sending those invaders back to their country to be welcod like heroes.
Not a word of this should leave this room people, not a word." Amon looked at each one of them as if he was searching for a snitch.
His eyes locked with those of David. "Are you kidding , the only person with ties to Eagle country nearby is Collin Baltimore who happens to be the landlord by the way." David sniggered.
He would use anything at anyti to take down his competitor.
Amon excused himself to call the most powerful general in the country who also doubled as his uncle and happened to sit on the joint chiefs of staff working for the president of Fog country, general of the army Paul Drusus. He had to start making arrangents for the dead soldiers state funeral imdiately.
David however wasn't thrilled by the revelation. "Is that why you called him here? I could have called the president, I have his number on speed dial."
Phoebe rolled her eyes and walked back to the group, she wasn't in the mood to listen to who had the better connections.
When Amon returned he inford them that the state funeral would be happening and he was going to the Iborg city which was in the north imdiately.
"The general will et there." He rushed out of the door.
Phoebe turned and looked at the ghosts. "Gentlen, you have eaten, you will get your state funeral and it's ti to go. There is nothing left for you here anymore, it's best to go on and et your loved ones that are waiting for you on the other side. I am not a soldier but i am going to salute you and thank you for your service."
She stood still and saluted them. To her surprise, the other humans in the cafe did the sa, saluting the fallen heroes.
"We will rember your sacrifice." she promised them.
One by one, they saluted back, smiled and started to vanish. It was not hard to accomplish since their spirits had been purified with the water of life, leaving them unburdened. All left with the exception of Major Mitford that had gone with Amon.
At around five thirty in the morning, all ghosts were gone and Phoebe was in a rush to set off for Iborg city but she had to first express her gratitude.
"Thank you so much for helping everyone, i am so sorry for keeping you up all night."
"What thank you when we are all family." Grandma Mayfair waved her words away. "I personally feel really good right now, we helped heroes of the country. Who else can brag about doing sothing like that?"
All of them were feeling pretty good about themselves, like they had accomplished sothing so great. The ghost gig was not as frightening as they expected. It was actually good for the soul.
"I made hot chocolate." Jennie raised her hand.
Everyone laughed lightly.
"Let's go ho now and get so sleep. After the night we have had, we need to take a day off." Edward suggested.
"Not dad, i have to go to Iborg city." Phoebe reached down under one of the counters and pulled out her go bag.
"Why?"
[Treasures, i heard the word treasure. How can this money loving mommy miss out on those beautiful shiny things? Every second i spend here one gold or silver coin is taken out of my pocket. Ghosts pay with information like this, that's how i can afford to pay the expensive rent for this place.]
"To help, just in case there are other innocent ghosts. It's not unusual, i do this kind of thing all the ti." she assured them.
She smiled innocently but everyone read her true intentions and they smiled or chuckled to themselves. She was really good at lying lying with a straight face, if only she knew that she ca with subtitles attached!
They couldn't stop her from leaving without exposing the fact they knew of her true intentions.
"You are going to need so i am coming along." David spoke first. "Besides I can get us there faster, I have a private plane." He thrust his jaw out proudly.
"So do we Saxon." Edward Mayfair pointed out. "Daughter, I have to co with you, we don't know what you are going to find up there, this mission seems dangerous for you to go.on your own."
"Dad, i can protect her, don't worry." David pointed out.
Edward acted like he had just got the shivers from David calling him dad. When did he co to resemble that white haired up tight man Robert Saxon? He eyed the eyesore David that kept sticking to his daughter like honey shalessly and he scoffed.
"As who? What is the nature of your relationship with Phoebe and..." Jennie was interrupted by Phoebe who announced that whoever wanted to go could tag along as there was no ti to waste.
"I suggest however that grandma and mother go ho, you are exhausted and needed so rest." She hugged them and rushed outside before another argunt could break out.
Andre, David and Edward followed after her like they were running after an escaped convict.
