Cel gripped my arm and murmured sternly, "Do not even think about being a smartass in front of Megan if you want to get your revenge." before hauling me through the door.
Megan? Who was Megan?
"The judge." came the reply.
Oh. The one in charge of the horrible bell. Indeed, the first thing in the posh court room that caught my eye was the large brass bell. But seriously, the bell was polished and intricate carved designs adorned it, but the decoration for the rest of the room was minimal.
"Celeste. Your suspension is over?" The lady in black (personally, she looked like a Harry Potter Witch Dude) asked disdainfully.
'Yeah it's over, YOU would know that," Celeste sneered. "I'm SO back, Megan." Oh, so Harry Potter Witch Dude was Megan. And Cel had gotten suspended? That was SO badass. Like, BADASS.
Megan glared at me and said: "Black cloaks are not necessarily Harry Potter." Oh crud,this Megan dude reads minds too? Cel winced and mouthed, 'facepalm!' I shrugged at her and murmured, 'Hey, we were all thinking that."
Megan peered at us curiously, "Celeste, you finally got one who suits you. Fine, you have permission to investigate and catch Clara's killer. Now get out and stop wasting my time."
To say Celeste looked shocked was an understatement. From their conversation I gathered that Celeste and Megan knew and hated each other, and Celeste had expected to have to beg to get permission. And it was just handed over like that? Something was off.
"Damn right something was off." muttered Cel as we hurried out of the door and found ourselves in what seemed to be a hotel lobby. "Usually she does all interview-y and determines whether the poor murdered soul deserves to get revenge. She just handed permission over to us like an extra piece of cake. She doesn't do that out of the goodness of her heart, which means she has a plan. And if you know Megan like I do, she having a plan is not good."
Well, I like cake.
Cel rolled her eyes. "Its a damn example stupid. Get some rest, we'll start tomorrow." She teleported out without another word. Spirit guides can teleport too? THAT IS SO BADASS I'M GOING TO BECOME ONE WHEN THIS INVESTIGATION IS OVER.
