fit to be a mother yet, if ever. She needs to sort herself out. At least
here, she has that help. I hope she takes it.”
    The spirit before me nodded. “I understand, but is that
your decision to make?”
    I was taken aback. “Well, I, I
only want what’s best for that child. Things will only get worse in our society
otherwise. After all, you said I’m here about justice, and this is part of it,
and I have begun with the unborn child of that messed up girl.” I folded my
arms across my chest.
    The spirit stared at me for a
moment with those blank eyes. He nodded slowly. “I wish you luck with the
justice you will hand out and create,” then turned slowly and moved away from
me.
    I wasn’t entirely sure what I
should do with the information I had been given yet, but for now, I was happy
to find out what had happened to the pregnant girl. Next, I wanted to find out
about my old neighbour from hell, and to see how they were coping tucked up in
a cold cell. I sped out of the hospital entrance and once again, carried myself
on the wind towards the local police building.

CHAPTER SEVEN
     
    The police building was old,
built back in the eighteen hundreds, the hanging pole still fixed on the front
wall. I looked up, a body swinging from the noose. Blinking I stopped and
stared at it, like an idiot. The head looked down to me, a hand waving at me.
“Could you get me down?” it asked. I was so freaked out, I ran inside the
building. Shit I thought. I’m dead but still freaked out. I can’t
leave him there though. What should I do? I walked as calmly as I could
past the front desk and headed for the cells at the back of the building.
Walking past the guards, I headed through the metal door and into a corridor,
cell's either side. Their occupants mostly held my noisy neighbour and her
party goers. They were still clutching at the heads, some rocking back n forth,
others just crying. Shelby was one of those. I moved closer, causing my chill
to make her shiver. She looked about in a panic, and I made my form to come
into view for a few moments. Now you see me, now you don’t , I giggled as
I fluctuated in and out of view.
                   
She whimpered as she stared at me. I laughed. The other inmates looked up at
me, and started screaming, causing the guard to bang on the door. “Quiet!” he
shouted, but they continued, and so he unlocked the door and walked into the
corridor, one hand on a night stick. “Oi, quiet I said!”
                   
I appeared behind him so it made them all look in his direction and scream
again, even the other inmates joined in. As he turned around I disappeared
again. “You lot are messed up! Now quit it!”
    “Make her go away, tell her to leave us alone!” one of
the party goers cried. “Take this music from my head, please, please, it’s
crazy!” The guard curled his lip in disgust.
    “You lot need your heads lookin’ at. That or those drugs you
took were clearly spiked with something else.” He shook his head. “Now be
quiet!” He turned and left, leaving the stricken inmates to cry after him.
    I decided to give them a
little more to think about, so I appeared inside one of the cells, the three men
inside, sucked in their breath and backed up against the wall, wide eyed. The
cell opposite that held the women looked on through their bars, watching,
whimpering. “Don’t hurt them, please, don’t. They did nothing wrong!” My face
spun to them, my eyes were burning black holes of nothing to them and I bore
into each of them. I smiled a grim smile, lips curling at the edges, showing no
laughter, but hell for them.  I made a deep laugh, my mouth opening wider
so all they could see was blackness within me. I was going to scare the shit
out of them for what they did to me for two years. Oh yes, revenge is sweet. I
forced my body to shimmer, and the air went cold, the breath from the inmates
showing as white fog from their mouths. “No, no, no, no”
