Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 355: Weight of regret.

His words left the listeners speechless; they exchanged quizzical glances and thereafter shifted their curious gazes to the said freezers. They were not hidden in some mystery location; they were right there in plain sight near the stock room.

Pointing her index finger at the freezers that everyone could see clearly through the enormous glass windows of the supermarket, Phoebe asked. "Those freezers? Are you sure?"

The last question came because she couldn’t figure out how a human being could fit back there; she had to check with her own eyes. There was hardly any space between the freezers and the wall.

"It’s true there is an almost mummified body back there, I am not sure how long he has been back there or how come no one noticed. Don’t they do major cleaning in this place?" The Saxon spirit confirmed the ghost’s words after poking around.

Phoebe continued chewing on her burger as she pondered on the same question while hoping that it was not a murder case, she needed a break from those. A one-year break preferably, but even she knew that she was deceiving herself.

"Did nobody smell the stench, I mean bodies give off an odor when they are decomposing." The Saxon spirit said.

Phoebe made a face of disgust, slowly she placed the remaining half of the burger on the paper plate, her appetite gone completely. In the back of her mind, she was thinking that nobody should be talking about rotting flesh in the presence of someone that was eating meat.

People with strong stomachs like Claire could stomach it but she could not. Bones and ghosts, were a yes, but rotting flesh was a no.

"Who did that to you? Was your death natural or was it an accident?" Her eyes glinted with an expression of mistrust; she began to scan around for suspects among the employees that were roaming around.

Some of them had passed by more than a few times, peeking curiously at the couple whose identities they were familiar with. They were also familiar with Phoebe’s ghost seeing abilities, she regularly bought drinks and placed them on tables in the lounge claiming they were for hungry customers, but those customers were always invisible.

Reid waved his hand dismissively at the question. "Nobody killed me, I guess you could say that i did it to myself, Tom my co-worker and I, usually sat up there during the night shift." He answered casually, pointing to the space above the freezers.

"Why would anyone sit up there? It’s very dangerous and stupid." David stated, the young man had caused his own death.

Nodding once, Reid clicked his tongue. "I can see that now considering that I am dead and all but back then, it seemed harmless. Do not blame it on the boss, he is a major ass, but he was not at fault, the truth is that we used to sit up there and eat the snacks that were about to go bad. It’s against the workplace policy to do so, we are supposed to throw them out.

The boss did not want to be hit with a lawsuit in case someone ate something and fell ill. We decided to break the rules, and that place felt safe because it’s a blind spot." His face was washed in regret.

He had died just because he wanted to eat some nearly expired yogurt and cakes, how ridiculous!

"I see." Phoebe’s voice was barely more than a whisper. "So, what happened on that unfortunate day then? Did you fall?" The question was met by a nod from Reid.

"I was unlucky that day, we ate some yogurt and cakes...oh and we had a few beers. Tom left me up there and went to the back of the store to get more beers, he took a while, so I decided to go check up on him.

Thinking back to that day, I realize that it was the wrong decision because I felt lightheaded and nauseous, I was probably starting to get drunk or at least I think that i was already.

When I stood up, I lost my balance and fell backwards. I lost consciousness for a while and when I woke up, I was feeling sore. I think that I broke something, breathing was hard since I was hanging upside down." His lips trembled; his dying moments were still horrifying to date.

Phoebe commiserated with him. "I am sorry but didn’t you yell for help? The supermarket is always filled with people at least half the time. There are security guards outside as well." She tried to wrap her mind around the story.

"I screamed as best as I could until my voice got hoarse, but it was futile." He pointed at the freezers. "These industrial freezers make a deep symphony of different sounds, I guess it was hard for anyone to hear me and to make matters worse, I became weaker by the minute, and I felt like my body was being drained of its energy until I lost consciousness again.

When I woke up again, I moved out of there with ease which was odd but still I was happy that I had escaped death. I tried talking to Tom, but he couldn’t hear me and everyone else that I tried to talk to. It dawned on me that I was invisible, instinctively I checked behind the freezer and there I was, dead as a door nail." A lump caught in his throat as he blinked back the tears.

The spirit scratched the back of her ear. "What about the smell? They didn’t notice at all?"

"I guess not." David flickered his fingers. "I think maybe his body froze and the place where he fell is kind of closed off so nobody can see there really. You have to pull the freezer to the front to see what’s behind clearly."

They all noticed what David was explaining, there were five industrial freezers, Reid’s body was behind the very last one. which was partially enclosed by a wall.

Phoebe remained silent for a short while. "It’s late right now Reid but I promise that the police will be here tomorrow or tonight possibly to get your body. I also need to inform your family, how long had it been since you vanished?"

"Two years, three months and four days." Reid shrugged. "All I could do here was count, I had a lot of time."

Phoebe smiled warmly to put him at ease. "But I cannot leave you here though, I own a Cafe which is a sanctuary for ghosts in need of help like yourself. Do not worry, nothing will happen to your body while you are gone, I will put a talisman on it so that we can keep track of it." Phoebe told him.

The Saxon spirit flashed away and did so within three seconds.

"See, now your body will never be lost." Phoebe told him and turned to Sylvester who had been quietly standing by. "Sylvester take good care of the guest, he should have a chance to say goodbye before moving on."

She looked at Reid, "Would you like to say goodbye to your family?"

He nodded and then left with Sylvester while Phoebe made a call to Shark, informing him about the body. It was not a juicy case; she was not sure if he would show up, but she was certain he would send the police and coroners over.

From there she and David drove back to the Mayfair house.
