Fun fact, did you know it takes about two hours and 48 minutes to get from Detroit to Ohio that's a optimistic guesstimation but if we include traffic, potential accidents and constant stops at red lights, then your looking at about three hours and some change give or take. Well that's only if your just a regular everyday Joe-schmo, but this three hours means nothing to a recruiter shaman in a Lamborghini doing 145 mph as if she was starring in the next fast and furious film. To Rochelle Wigglesbe that three hour time length was nothing but a obstacle a challenge one she took head on, she got from Detroit to Ohio in a hour and fifteen minutes. By the time Rochelle pulled into the mall's parking lot, Soren and Momo had nearly passed out or more like passed on to the spirit realm. The moment Rochelle put the car into park the two seat buddies unshackled themselves and almost leaped out the car.
"Were alive! oh sweet god were alive!!"
Momo said as her and Soren did there best to hug the parking lot.
"I will.. never take my life for granted... ever again!"
Soren said while trying to bury his face in the ground as if it was a pillow.
"Oh you said it sex doll boy!"
"Come on stop being so dramatic, you little snowflakes"
Said Rochelle as she killed the ignition.
"I didn't even hit 200 mph so it wasn't even that bad you big babies!"
"Why the hell are you saying that so casual!"
"OK"
Rochelle said as she dropped the cheerfulness out of her voice.
"Get up you drama queens we've got work to do and we don't have all day"
Hearing the no nonsense, all business tone in her voice forced the two to there feet, they stood on spaghetti legs and while using the car as a crutch in the distance they saw the situation that was going down. Police cars, ambulances on stand by, news crews and curious spectators were surrounding the mall.
"The situation is serious"
Rochelle said to draw Momo and Soren's attention.
"If that ghost isn't extinguished and if the portal isn't dealt with then all these people here can be engrave danger"
She paused popped the trunk, the commotion she was making lured the two in. What they saw in her trunk was not what they expected, grocery bags a small propane fire pit and many beakers ranging in size were all stashed in Rochelle's trunk. Rochelle grabbed a beaker put it on the pit then cut the flame on, she started digging through her grocery bags as she did she asked.
"So how much have you learned Mr. Franks Advanced chemistry class"
At this question Momo's body stiffened up, she started making weird sounds and grumbles searching for the answer to a question she didn't know.
"Ummmm ugggh we... learned... about a... aspect of essential shaman work"
She said very choppy and unsure, Rochelle shot her a curious glance, Momo noticed her eyes but before she could be questioned Soren chimed in unknowingly saving Momo's skin.
"Yea he taught us about Potions and Powder we were told that there essential handy tools to use in a pinch"
"Bingo"
Rochelle said as she pulled out a cutting board and a butcher knife.
"Potions and Powder are very useful for shamans on missions, they've pretty much existed since the conception of shamans and are one of the few customs that have survived to the modern day, it's probably because there customizable different ingredients and preparation methods can create a concoction with different effects, but the one I'm making will remove the ghost from the security guards body"
She took out two water bottles, a lemon, mint leaves, a ginger root and a little thing of salt.
"Now watch closely"
She said turning to them.
"First off before you ever start making Potions or Powder it's important to have fresh ingredients, if anything that's the most important step, then the next step I'll pour the two water bottles into the beaker and wait for it to come to a boil"
She did just that and as she waited she cut the lemon in half then squeezed all the juices into the beaker, when she got it all out she then diced up the lemon and put the remains into the beaker as well. She then did the same with the mint leaves and ginger root, when the water started to boil harder and faster she topped it off with a pinch of salt then she stirred it in a slow rhythmic counter clockwise motion. As she was doing this Momo and Soren could've swore they saw something more than just steam rise up from the beaker along with the steam they saw something that seemed like flowing clear water, it was only for a second so they chopped it up to being a trick of the eyes.
The concoction Rochelle was making was becoming stronger and more pungent but it seemed that the only person affected out of the three was Momo. She took a step back and covered her nose it was a unpleasant smell to her it smelled like the most foul garbage, Rochelle noticed Momo's uncomfortable reaction she smirked in response. A few short moments later she cut off the flame she then put on her trusty oven mitts and poured the Potion a thermos.
"And voila children"
She said displaying the thermos as if it was hidden treasure.
"This is demonic corrosive acid better known as Holy water, if you were to splash this on a normal demon it would of course... well burn like acid but since that ghost is possessing that guard pouring it on his skin will do no good cause the body is human"
"So how do we get the guard free?"
Asked Soren
"Make him drink it"
She responded.
"If you do that the ghost will be forced out of his body then you can kill it with this"
She gave the same knife that she cut the ingredients up with to Momo she grabbed it but not to hard because her hand felt rough and stiff.
"Once it's out just slice it with that knife, one slice should be enough"
"So.. how do we get it drink the.. ugh Potion?"
Momo questioned.
"I don't know, it's your job to take care of him you gotta get creative"
"So your really not gonna tell us?"
"Nope now"
She said closing the car's trunk.
"Let the mission begin!"
