Her refusal compelled Amon to pull his brows together in a frown.
"Why not? He's perfect for the job. He's always jumping from one party to another and let's be honest, after David Saxon, Andre Mayfair has a VIP pass to every nightclub in the country."
David laughed mockingly and raised his hands to his waist. Obviously they were quick to hope that Amon would be useful. "Andre? You think that guy can do this, he is just as much of a risk as i am. Are you certain you want him?"
"Yes, why not? I agree with the deputy chief on this one, we are short on ti and racing to the finish line. Did you not hear tell you that Amaro and Sully have been frantically searching for sothing in the evidence which was taken from the Freezing moon club? It is obvious that they are looking for the mory card. We have to use the resources we have on hand." Shark's words earned him a sharp gaze from Phoebe.
He averted his eyes from hers and looked at Amon, he would not be guilted into changing his opinion.
"He's a clumsy young man, a lot of things could go wrong. What would we tell the Mayfairs if he ended up like Paula. No offense ladies." Dread swallowed David's whole by just thinking of all the things that would go wrong.
"So do you have any other famous person in mind?" Amon spoke in a raised tone, his frustration very visible now.
David regarded him with a cold piercing gaze. "Yes as a matter of the fact I do." His voice was equally raised.
Tempers were beginning to flare so Phoebe chid in. "Who? Tell us, any option is better than Andre."
". I will do it." David stated.
Silence took over, they knew how much David had invested to clean his image yet he was willing to ruin it all to stop Phoebe from entering the poisonous club. Amon knew that he was doing it out of love but this one night could ruin his reputation, the Freezing moon was still hot off a scandal.
"Listen David, we may not be the best of friends but...."
"Fine, let's have David to do it." Phoebe announced. David was right about Andre being a clumsy person, what if he drunk heavily and blabbered ever?
More importantly while they had been going back and forth, it hit her that David did not even need to go into the club and neither did she. One, she had ghosts that could do the job and two, she could even use paper n. It did not matter who brought in the mory card, all that mattered was that it fell into their hands.
Amon clasped his hands behind his back. "Alright, however if this goes south. I do not want my na brought up."
Paula raised her hand half way. "There is one problem here, the decorative dish is in the ladies rest room. David is a man, last ti I checked."
Shark sighed in frustration, their woes were never ending, it seed. David however was unfazed by the revelation.
"Drunk n enter the ladies rest rooms accidentally all the ti, i can fake it for a minute and get the card."
"I know that everyone is tired so why don't you all leave this part to David and I, we can tackle it easily without alerting the security." Phoebe tapped David's back. "You two should go back and start preparing to make so big arrests because so of the nas Paula gave are big, and i an big."
Phoebe efficiently closed the eting and literally shoved Shark and Amon to leave. They all left the cetery and walked to the maze gardens.
As they walked, Amon whispered to David. "The feeling is mutual."
"Excuse ?" David stopped in his tracks.
"I heard you say that you don't like very much. Well that feeling is mutual, if you ss up what you have with her. Then I will swoop in and save her from you." He warned before increasing his pace to et up with Shark who was walking ahead of them.
David smirked, it sounded like Amon knew how not to be a third wheel or mistress in their relationship. He was glad that Amon wasn't going to pursue Phoebe until he ssed up. He was never going to ss up however, not in this life. He had done that in the past and he regretted it so much. He put a hand on Phoebe's waist and walked on proudly.
On reaching the reception area where tents had been set up for an outdoor party, Phoebe was greeted by more than a few hateful stares from the Verdemonts. They still blad her for everything that had happened to them.
"I cannot believe that she is bold enough to show her face here. Why does David even see in her?" Camilla's words perated to Phoebe's ears.
"Maybe she chard him, i heard that she sells love portions too." Said the girl that was sitting next to her.
"Hmph, it must be true, nothing else can explain why David is hooked around her finger like an idiot." Emilia comnted.
They continued to discuss Phoebe but she did not care, she was looking at the place where Linda's body had once laid.
The tents in the gardens had been brightly decorated with string lights. The center of the gardens where Linda's body had been had been renovated rather quickly.
A marble sculpture of the god of the light faith had been placed there. Phoebe did not even know what to think, she could not even enjoy this celebration of Luther's life and she was not the only one.
The mood was dull despite all the food and drinks that were available in addition to the rather cheerful music which Ekhart had claid were all his father's favorite songs. Most people were not in the mood to party, after all a funeral was a funeral.
Phoebe andered through the crowd and reached the table allocated to the Mayfair's. She was surprised to find Collin Baltimore sited with her family mbers.
Her eyes as always went to his head first, the golden hair on his head was curled more than usual and longer than it had been when she last saw it.
[Goldie, did you co for a funeral or to walk down a runway?]
"Pheebs! You didn't tell us that you knew such a handso and charming young man. Why did you hide him from us." Jennie gestured for Phoebe to co over and sit down, excitedly.
