We left the guys at the bar. Rachel, Chloe, and I were headed to the police station. Rebecca was with us too, of course. Chloe basically had to be dragged to her feet, though.

“You won’t have to touch any dead people, I promise,” Rachel reassured her. “Isn’t that right, Meredith?”

I nodded. “You’ll just have to touch her personal belongings. I think that’ll be enough.” At least I hoped it would. We needed to find out who this woman was and what exactly happened to her. And hopefully where, because there was a good chance that her ghost was at the scene of the crime.

The receptionist greeted us with her usual disdain.

“What do you want now, Ms. Good?” She asked me. “And who are these people with you?”

“I’m Rachel and this is my friend Chloe,” Rachel was quick to say. She extended her hand and the receptionist reluctantly shook it. “We love your quaint little town! So cozy!”

I cleared my throat to get the receptionist’s attention. Rachel was laying it on a bit thick. “I’m here to see Sheriff Valentine,” I said, trying to keep things as professional as possible.

The receptionist rolled her eyes and pressed a button on her phone.

“I see,” she said. “Alright, sir. If that’s what you want.”

The receptionist didn’t look too happy when she hung up the phone. That only meant one thing: Jonathan agreed to see us. I stopped myself from smiling too widely.

“He’s expecting you,” the receptions said. “Just make it quick.”

“I always do,” I said with a wink.

Once we were in his office, we closed the door behind us. I quickly introduced everyone to each other.

“So nice to meet you, sheriff,” Rachel said as she extended her hand. “I look forward to working together.”

“Working together?” Jonathan said, raising his eyebrows and giving me a look. “I don’t think so. This is an official police investigation and I expect any civilians to respect that. Isn’t that right, Meredith?”

I sighed. “Yes. But there’s just one thing…”

“I don’t want to hear it,” Jonathan quickly interjected. “Unless you have some information to share with me, I’m not interested in hearing what you have to say.”

“The thing is, the only way I would have information to share is if you let Chloe here touch a few of the victim’s items,” I said.

Chloe took a few steps back until she was practically out the door.

Jonathan looked at the three of us in turn. “This is a police matter, not something a bunch of amateurs and so-called psychics can turn into a show for profit.”

“I’m sorry, sir,” Chloe said, barely audible. “We’re sorry for wasting your time.”

“Thank you for that,” Jonathan said and relaxed a bit. “I’m glad at least one of you understands.”

Before Rachel could interject and really turn on the charm, I asked for her and Chloe to give me a few minutes alone with the sheriff. Rachel reluctantly left the office and said they’d wait for me right outside.

“You have to let Chloe at least try,” I said. “You know if she finds something, it’ll be good for you too.
