The compromise reached with Kebab daughter is that we’re going drive but we’ll do it in her car. A 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I didn’t like the way she tossed the keys at me like I’m her servant. I did want to drive though so I didn’t say shit about it. It’s a hell ofContinue reading “I thought it was Romero”

23 & Magic
Once I had the money Kebab-man dispatched one of his daughters to help me investigate. He said he couldn’t do it because he’s too old to be doing magic anymore. Once he realized that his skills were declining he taught his daughters magic so they could carry out his bidding. I said he didn’t lookContinue reading “23 & Magic”
Ask about our high pressure sales techniques
When he was doing his bitter old wizard routine Huddie told me that magic is pointless because spending 20 years to learn a spell to make light is stupid when you can buy a flashlight. He’s wrong about that, but he’s also kind of right. I found the contact information for some of the professor’sContinue reading “Ask about our high pressure sales techniques”
The poor magician’s almanac
Kebab man said that because I was friends with Stella he’ll to cut me deal and only charge me $1500 to investigateT8. That’s half his normal rate he pointed out. I got paid that much once for a bare knuckle fight. I asked him if I couldn’t afford $800 how did he think I was goingContinue reading “The poor magician’s almanac”
Garment industry > necromancy
After I left it occurred to me that I never considered if Jackie was actually capable of reading minds. Does that mean I’m getting jaded? Doesn’t seem good whatever it means. I called Jackie’s contact who he said that his necromancy consulting fee is $800/hour. When I said I couldn’t afford that and he hungContinue reading “Garment industry > necromancy”
The Librarians in the Quest for the Lying Liar’s Lies
I called a couple of the professor’s ghost clients pretending to be his assistant. I’ve been lying a lot lately. I don’t love it. I was following up to make sure their ghost eradication needs were still met. And since I had them on the line I asked where they had heard about the serviceContinue reading “The Librarians in the Quest for the Lying Liar’s Lies”
The ghost embezzler’s wife
My next idea was to call the professor. I’ve been trying to keep the lines of communication open with him even though I suspect him. Of what I don’t know. Something. He hasn’t responded to me in a while. Now I know why. He’s in prison. I called what used to be his office number,Continue reading “The ghost embezzler’s wife”
Ghosted
I was tempted to call Stella’s mom for a necromancy consult. But not very much. Ultimately I decided it was a bad idea. Terrible idea. I tried to remember everything Stella told me about what she was doing the night we met. I couldn’t recall much. Either she never told me the exact details orContinue reading “Ghosted”
RIP Stella
T8 says she remembers being in a car accident in Hong Kong just like the police said. She didn’t see the other car coming she just remembers being thrown violently. The seatbelt breaking. The searing pain. She remembers being twisted in a way that her body doesn’t go. She said it felt like it tookContinue reading “RIP Stella”
People who died
Henry told me we had to go to Gatesville to speak with the girlfriend’s cousin’s hairdresser’s boyfriend’s niece’s friend. I will give her the codename T8. What Henry didn’t tell me is that she’s in the prison in Gatesville. What the fuck is wrong with everyone? Why don’t they tell me things? This isn’t aContinue reading “People who died”
