Ambichous woke tired from the trip  the night before from going to the docks in Philadelphia. She was sure to make a large turn over on the resale of the drugs on the street. She tossed her robe on as she  turned and shook her  niece awake. Ambichous was was reaching for the phone to call the kitchen with thoughts of biscuits and gravy on her mind when there was a rap at her door.  Hmm she thought that is odd only a couple people knew she was in Philadelphia. She looked through the peephole of her motel room door  and saw a skinny rat like man holding up a telegram.

She opened the telegram and read the message that a rogue had gone crazy and that  her Crew Leader Hardgore_Alice was  one of his unfortunate targets.  She closed the door in the messengers face as she fought the tears that threatened to flood from her eyes. Her niece just waking and seeing the look on her face and her shoulders drooping as  she  sat on the edge of the bed. Little Terra placed her hand on her aunts shoulder in comfort.

" What is wrong Auntie  Ambi?"

At the sound of the nickname that Alice gave her the tears broke their barrier and streamed down her face. After a few moments of crying she took a deep breath and wiped the snot and tears from her face with the telegram then tossed it on the ground.

"Tera, I know this is going to be hard to hear but we have to fly back to New York and attend Alice's funeral. A rogue got her last night".

The young child fell into her aunt's arms as a sudden burst of tears and long wail escaped the child. She sobbed hard for several minutes and her Auntie Ambi let her release. She had become attached to Alice. It was  Alice after all that took her in when her mother BBYGRL disappeared by unconfirmed suicide. Alice then contacted Ambichous to come take custody of her niece.  Taking care of the child all the while that Ambichous was on her way to obtain custody of the child from the west coast.   After a few moments of sobbing together the woman and the child got dressed and packed their belongs to head off to the airport.

Ambichous and Terra waited for their luggage as they watched all the others slowly spin by. When walked out of the airport Ambichous looked around for a taxi only to find an associate of New York holding a sign with  her name scrawled in dark lettering across it. She grabbed her bags and her nieces hand approached him. 

"I am Ambichous, what is this you out here announcing my name?" She asked him not sure if she should be appreciate or be  suspicious yet, she waited as he answered her.

" Uh... madame ...Left Hand of The Magical School I presume?" He stuttered out she wasn't sure if it came  out that way because he was nervous at her approach   or if  it was his actual speech.  She did not care she was on her way to a funeral. " I am an associate of Damnation and Villain sent me  to take you to the funeral parlor to view the body." She gave him a stern at the mentioning of her boss as body and got the message as he stuttered once again." Uh ..uh... To ..to the funeral parlor, madame."  

She smiled at him simply stating,"Then what are we  doing lollygagging here lets go." She and her niece got in the back of the vehicle as he placed their luggage in the trunk then proceeded to get in the drivers seat.  He drove them to funeral parlor  and waited in the car as Ambichous and niece attended the funeral of boss. While the woman and niece stood paying their respects the hair on the back of Ambichous neck stood on end and skin grew cold. She took a step away from the coffin as she swore she heard Hard_gore Alice's voice say,

" I fight from beyond the grave."

With chills going down her spine and her heart a little bit lighter as she knew that was not just the voice Alice , it was the ghost of Alice and she was back with a mission. A mission get a rogue from beyond the grave.

Ambichoius and her niece walked out of  the funeral parlor to see the associate of Damnation  leaning against the car still waiting on them.  As she approached him lighting a new cigarette  he pulled a letter from his pocket and handed it to her. She opened as she let out a puff to billow around her head and read it relieved to know that her and  her niece still had a home in New York. It was an invitation from Villain to come work  for Damnation.  Her and niece got back into the vehicle and the associate drove them to their new home in Brooklyn.
