Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 513: What is Collin Baltimore hiding?

That night, David whisked Phoebe away on a date. They were both busy during the day, so their nights were always dedicated to them. He had taken her to dates all over the city, on this date they had to fly to the restaurant which was a first for them both.

Phoebe could not help laughing and marveling at the same time. "You have invested in this one."

"I aim to please mi lady." He joked and laughed with her.

He took her to a rooftop restaurant called Le Mirazur, one of the most expensive places to eat in the city. This was because the food was more of art than food. It was simply too beautiful to be eaten.

Like many of the patrons that night, Phoebe took a picture of the creative almost lifelike koi fish looking sushi and bunny shaped coconut rice. They were served with glossy chicken cubes on a stick that were shaped like octopuses.

The experience was great, but Phoebe was left feeling hungry so when they returned to her apartment, she gobbled up more food in the bedroom while complaining about the delicious food from the date.

"One bite David, one bite and all the food is gone. What lunatic goes to a restaurant where they serve one bite of food?"

"It's the experience Pheebs." He said, for the umpteenth time.

"Yeah, the sucker experience." she replied and laughed. "I loved it, but I am not paying ten thousand dollars for one bite of food."

David, the poor sucker just shook his head. Next time, he would remember to take her to a place where they served full plates of food because she was eating for two.

He waited for her to fill her stomach; gave her a bath and they slept.

While they were sleeping, masked figures invaded the red-light district with a list of criminals to deal with. Some were injured to the point that they would never step out of bed again. Some were killed and their bodies dumped in the alleys with various words painted across their foreheads stating what king of criminal they were.

Dozens of men and women of different ages forced to work in brothels were released. Many were transported and left on the doorsteps of various charity organizations. Those that had been trafficked from different countries were left outside the embassies of their countries.

Come morning, it was all anyone could talk about in the country because sixty-four known and suspected criminals had died. The news had no idea what to call it so they reported it a fight between pimps and crooks, others reported it as gang violence. Whispers of a vigilante known as Midnight walked in the alleys of the red-light district however and the criminals that survived trembled in fear.

"Ha!" Maureen made a sound of surprise as they watched the news. "What do you make of this?" she asked.

Phoebe shrugged; she had no idea what to make of it.

"Someone cleaned the trash the politicians and police have dragging their feet to clean....." Maureen posed because Phoebe switched the Tv off.

She opened the apartment door for Rekha that had come over, worried that they might go and see Rufus without her. Yesterday, he had been too busy to see them, so they were meeting him this morning.

"Can we go now?" she asked, shaking her shoulders and exhaling as if the winter cold had infected her.

"Not yet, I did not see Collin Baltimore yesterday either, so I am going to check right now and see if Connie is at the Baltimore residence. I met their mom yesterday, she let me into the apartment and Connie was not there too." Phoebe informed them.

Using her thumb, Maureen scratched the top of her brow. "Why don't you just call her brother and ask him where she is. I mean she is spending time with him so who better to keep track of her whereabouts."

In her opinion it was better than going to the Baltimore apartment to engage in small pointless talk. From the time Phoebe had introduced Lydia Baltimore to Maureen, the woman had made it her mission to engage her in conversations that Maureen had very little or no interest in. The one downside of living in Phoebe's apartment on and off were the nosy neighbors.

Pausing in her trucks, Phoebe raised her brows for a fleeting second. "I will try for the hundredth time; Collin is not answering my calls. I even saw him switching paths just because he saw me walking towards him two days ago. With Connie missing for this long, I am certain that something is definitely going on here." She declared, stuffing her phone back inside the bag because the call was not answered again.

The three women headed out, still discussing Collin's suspicious behavior.

"And you think this Collin knows something and that is why he is avoiding you?" Maureen asked, arching an eyebrow.

Rekha sliced into an apple she had taken from Phoebe's kitchen. "You need to confront him, I suggest we track him down and get to the bottom of this. That being said, let us start the search from their home." She tipped her chin towards the doorbell.

The spirit was way ahead of them, it had occasionally been searching for Connie at the Baltimore residence, but she was not there on most days just like today. "The golden-haired boy is in there locked away in his room drinking like a fish. Something is definitely up; I have never seen him so distraught." It revealed to them.

Maureen wasted no time in pressing the doorbell, her curiosity heightened. She was not the kind of person that liked to postpone such matters, if Collin was inside that house, she was going to pry his mouth open until what he was hiding came out.

The door swung open and as usual; Lydia Baltimore beamed with a smile upon seeing the visitors. "Phoebe, Maureen and this time you came with a friend." She used the yellow-colored apron to wipe her fingers. "I was just baked some fresh cinnamon cookies. I hope that you three are staying for breakfast." Her eyes were wide, a flicker of hope danced inside.

"That would be nice Lydia, but we are here because we are want to talk to Collin." Phoebe calmly spoke with the intention of not spooking Lydia.

Letting out a mild scoff, Lydia let them in. "He is locked away in his room, good luck trying to get him out of there. Same thing with my ungrateful daughter Cassie, she too has been locked in her room she only comes out of there to get something to eat. Ha! Can you believe that she dropped out of school too? I don't understand what is going on with them." She pushed herself hair back wearily.

Maureen grilled her with unblinking eyes. "Lydia did he happen to tell you what was bothering him?" She questioned earnestly.

Shaking her head, Lydia's frustrated eyes became moist. "My son is a jolly young man normally, in fact a few months ago he was over the moon and then then out of the blue he became a shadow of himself starting a few weeks ago." She narrated.
