Edward looked directly at Luke. "Let's do the DNA test again compare it to ours. In fact do one on Ruth as well, mother could be right maybe Jennie had twins."
"But....bu..." Jennie tried to speak but couldn't. She was certain that she carried and gave birth to one child not twins. The only possibility to her was that one of the girls wasn't hers. She decided to keep it to herself until the results were back.
Luke and Andre sprung into action imdiately. Andre rcilessly pulled so hair from his father before gently collecting one from his mother, ignoring his father's sneer.
Collin received the sa treatnt as Edward, rough hair pulling and grandma Mayfair didn't wait, she plucked her hair on her own.
"Do you need blood and saliva too?" she asked eagerly.
Luke nodded. "I will get a syringe."
When Luke run out, she asked Andre to show her the picture of Phoebe again. Just like her grandson, she already felt a closeness to Phoebe even though she had not t her before.
anwhile the Black ghost Cafe was booked and busy, but mostly with ghosts. News had circulated not just in Citrus but all over Fog country that the Cafe was a sanctuary for ghosts that were hiding away from ghost catchers so ghosts had showed up in droves and camped in there.
Phoebe had spent most of her morning hours convincing the ghosts to move on. "No one is going to hunt you on the other side, besides if you were good in this life, then you have a chance at reincarnation."
Most of them understood and she showed them how to move on once they got past why they were stuck. So much energy was funneled into the pendant that she felt like she could float.
For the ghosts that stubbornly refused to move on, Phoebe sent them away because the cafe was not a ghost refugee camp. Besides she wanted no trouble with the ghost catchers.
When that was done, Phoebe locked herself in her office then inford Connie and the Saxon spirit that they needed to plant the seeds in the magical space.
With all the energy she had now, the land was capable of growing plants and the space could hold living beings. All the pets were in there running around freely.
"In the near future you still need to buy land because people will beco suspicious to where your special raw materials co from and guess who can help with that, David!" The Spirit said enthusiastically.
"I am planning on it, I will use him as much as I can." Phoebe let out an evil chuckle which miffed the spirit.
It's desire wasn't for Phoebe to use David but rather for her to fall genuinely in love with him but clearly Phoebe still had her guard up.
Sylvester ca forward. "Boss can I help too, there is not much to do here I am sure that Rosset is good on her own."
Phoebe laughed maniacally. "Wait Sylvester, you want to expose this secret magical space to you? A forr thief! I personally believe that a leopard doesn't change its spots, the answer is a strong no."
Connie who wasn't ready to plant anything cleared her throat. "Well you better change your mind about that because i am not doing it. Brother Sylvester is strong and has the energy equivalent to four people. We need him."
"She's right you know, there are trust issues here but there is a solution." The Saxon spirit slapped it's finger and an old scroll with golden knots at the end appeared.
"This is a loyalty contract Sylvester, sign it and you can enter the magic space. You should know that if anything goes missing I'll vanquish you to the Ice hell. It's a place far worse than purgatory." The spirit used a very serious and warning tone.
Sylvester believed that this was his mont to prove to Phoebe who was still a doubting Thomas that he was really loyal to her.
"I will sign it and believe the ice hell is the last place anyone would want to end up." Sylvester signed without hesitation.
The scroll grew flas and vanished the mont it was signed.
Phoebe smacked her lips, there was no point in rejecting Sylvester's help.
"Okay let's go in." They all entered the magic space.
The place had changed once again, it was bright, very bright. With huge stars hanging so close from the sky that Phoebe could touch them.
"I have never seen stars up close." Phoebe slowly poked one with her index finger curiously.
The Saxon spirit explained that these were fallen stars collected over the years and used to light up the space at night. The pendant used to be an empty place, and everything there was created through magic, including a small sun during the day.
"They have magical energy that will keep the herbs healthy and grow faster even at night. More than that a fallen star wards off evil if you keep it close. We have multiple of them now, maybe you can make necklaces and bracelets coated with their dust. I told you the more energy you feed this place, the more it will reveal it's true nature."
Phoebe agreed with it, such bracelets and necklaces would bring in more money. Besides they would be easier to carry around than talismans for people that were afraid of facing judgnt from others.
After choosing a perfect spot, they began to plant the seeds. Phoebe left the space because she had to et Lizzie Guzman. They had agreed to sign a contract over lunch.
She drove all the way to Guzman gas station, one of the hundreds the Guzman's owned in the country.
On the way to the reception desk, she received a text from David who was checking on how she was and if she had eaten lunch. Reluctantly, she replied.
[Yes to all.]
She put her phone away and introduced herself to a receptionist that took her to Lizzie's office. When she got there, the first thing Lizzie did was to apologize for changing the eting place from a nice restaurant to her office.
"The contract should have been signed already if I didn't have pressing matters to attend to abroad."
"It's okay." Phoebe touched the woman's belly to see the condition of the baby. "He is sleeping so peacefully."
Lizzie smiled happily. "He is a good boy."
The lawyer walked in with the contract and Phoebe stepped back. She entered business mode and both won studied the contract carefully.
Just like she had requested all her conditions has been clearly written. Phoebe smiled and sighed it and so did Lizzie.
"Call or co and see incase of anything." Phoebe told her before leaving.
As she was getting back in her car, she received a call from Rosset informing her that police n from Citrus PD were at the cafe looking for her.
"Why is there a problem?" Phoebe asked as she started her car.
"They have refused to say anything. What do I do?" Rossett's voice was glazed in panic.
"I will be there shortly." Phoebe's pressed on the accelerator.
The mont Phoebe entered into the Cafe, the police n that had been waiting stood up and asked. "Are you Phoebe Hopkins?"
Phoebe nodded in response.
They looked at each other. "Ma'am please stretch out your hands." They roughly placed cold tallic cuffs on her cold hands. "You are under arrest for inciting a suicide." They began to shove her out of the door forcefully.
Phoebe didn't understand what she was being accused of, she tried to resist but she had no chance against the two strong n.
Against her will, she was whisked away towards the Police car.
"Call detective Shark." Phoebe shouted to Rosset who dashed back inside.
The first person she called was David Saxon, then Detective Shark.
