When the two finally appeared in Limbo, they were about six blocks away from Big Daddy’s and Vic still tried to dust the soot off his skull. “All right, let’s get this done. Hopefully, no one claimed it before we got here.”

“The odds are probably in our favor,” Johnny told him as they walked to the dealer’s shop. “From what we heard, every ghost organization and gang in New Orleans is trying to keep it under wraps, including the cops. We didn’t hear about any other bounty hunters looking for it.”

“Which is odd if you think about it.” The ghost undid his jacket and took the ax out of his ribs. “There are always bounty hunters in New Orleans—hell, some set up shop for their entire lives there—but we’ve heard nothing about their involvement?”

“Maybe it is above their paygrade,” Johnny suggested as he pulled the doors open. “Or they are paid off. I’m sure some of them deal with the mobs.”

They both greeted the ghost at the door. “Hey, Saul.” Vic rested the ax over his shoulder. “Is Angie in?” Saul lowered his newspaper and nodded across the lobby. They waved goodbye as they headed to where Angie was doing her nails. “When did you get those?”

“Do you like ’em?” she asked and held them out smugly. “I had some time off after seeing you two and spent some of it at the parlor. They only cost me a couple of yellow doubloons and they last for decades.”

“Well, you have claws now. It certainly fits.” She scowled at him as he dropped the ax on her desk. “We have some evidence for a case and are here for the finder’s fee.”

Angie gawked at the weapon for a moment and adjusted her glasses before she picked it up and examined it. “What is this?” she asked when she noticed the odd phantasma on it. “I ain’t seen nothing like this.”

“That sounds like it's worth something,” Johnny pointed out.

Vic nodded, took his cap off, and scratched his scalp. “A large number of somethings. What do you say, Angie? That was used by a ghost of some kind. Exactly what can’t be determined right now but he’s at least on the same level as a wraith. He’s possibly killed dozens of humans and ghosts alike so far. At least they want this guy turned in, right?”

She studied the ax for a moment longer and set it down. “I don’t know what the hell you boys brought in but it is spooky, I can tell you that.”

“And that’s coming from a ghost.” Johnny’s quip drew a chuckle from Vic as he put his cap on.

“I’ll look up what this could be worth.” She began typing on her keyboard. “Can you give me any more details? Because so far, I could put this as a possible escapee with probable homicides.”

The ghost detective frowned. “Well…that sounds like it lowers the price.” His frown turned to a scowl when she nodded. “Look, we’ve fought this joker, some kind of ghost we haven’t seen before.
