Jason looked at him. "I am a freelance spirit detective. I don't work for the police department so there wouldn't be a badge. Also as I said I didn't think to bring anything to show you the business. I left the personalized business cards in the city I'm from. I am a detective in the fact I investigate and solve cases for ghosts. Or earhtbound spirits as my family calls them." He paused for a moment then continued. "For people that have died or been murdered and seek me out for help. As I said my client this time is Penny Waters. Spirits can't pay you like the living can. So no point in setting up an offical agency. Spirits will find you wherever they find you." This was true because she found him some way or other.<br/><br/>"Yes. Penny Waters was murdered in the hotel room. I do apologize for not being clearer on the spirit detective business." He shook his head. "No sir. This is no game. Penny was not happy that you are questioning her presence. I would take off from my honeymoon for any game. I was given a case by a spirit and in order to finish my honeymoon I must solve it" He said. Leaving out that until his honeymoon he never saw them.<br/><br/>He needed to play the angle a bit. "I am investigating Penny's murder for her. I have a slight lead that she gave me that leads me to suspect and believe it was not her husband who killed her. She firmly believes it wasn't." He said seriously. He nodded his head. Yeah. Something like that. He was hoping this worked out. Clarifying that he was a spirit detective and the reason why should help with that manner. "If you keep upsetting her she might start throwing more things at you. She just wants you to help us investigate this room. Since you can't let us in we can stay by the door and look around. You can tell us everything you see. I can point out anything I see as well as my wife can. She understand the who seeing and speaking to ghosts thing."<br/><br/>He hoped Melinda would back him on this. "In the long run with your cooperation we may start to solve Penny Water's murder. Thats all Penny wants...help solving who killed her so the right person is in jail. And her husband is let out so she can cross over into the light. Without your help Penny will never be able to see her loving family in the after life." If this man knew anything about ghosts he would understand the crossing over into the light bit. In fact if anything for someone as supersticious and spiritually believing helping a ghost move into the light would be a once in the lifetime thing not easily passed up.<br/><br/>"Excuse me for a moment. I need to call Chief Matthews. I'll give you the phone once I am through. He can clear this whole thing up. I've known the man since we were kids." He said. Chief Matthews was an old friend who knew about the who ghosts thing and always asked him why he couldn't see them. Said it would be cool if he could. He stepped back into the hall. "Brent Matthews? Hey. Its Jason. Remember how all these years you said it would be cool if I could sea and speak to ghosts?" He nodded his head. "Well it happened from a head bonk. Now I need you to tell your man to let me investigate so I can help Penny Waters move on. She wants me to solve her murder so the right person can go to jail and her husband be let free." He nodded his head.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Sure Jason. I'll tell him. I know for a fact you and your family have a long line of spirit detectives. I'll put in the word and give him the okay to let you look around and investigate. Let me talk to him." Chief Matthews said.</span>Jason was thinking why didn't I think of this before now? He walked into the room some but stopped near the threshold. "Chief Matthews would like to speak to you." He said with a smile.
