Good Luck Charm

(A report from the desk of Police Inspector Roseline Baptiste)

Translated from Haitian Creole

Spent the rest of that night tossing and turning forcing myself to sleep. Finally, I woke again from my sleep. Upon checking the clock it's been nearly a full day. My body is recharged but sore. I get up and look over at the charm. It's polished shine seems muted now. I'm sure that glow was all in my head. I grab the necklace and place it on around my neck. I pull myself together as quickly as I can. I pause in the mirror momentarily to look at the charm again, the words from my dreams still fresh in my head.

Papa Legba here my cries…

Suddenly I'm snapped for my trance by the sound of my phone ringing. I look down to see I'm now tightly gripping the charm. I let go, shaking my head and answering the phone. It is the doctor taking care of Lyetnan Cruz. They have been trying to reach me for hours. He had a hallucination!? Thrashing and screaming about aliens? What on earth happened over the last 12 hours? It's as though the whole world has gone mad. I thank the doctor for healing the poor Lyetnan. Hopefully he'll be back on his feet soon. It appears the blow he took…wherever it came from, did more damage than I thought. Now, I must gather myself and prepare to size the day. I have criminals to apprehend. Mr Elvis you and your cohorts days are few. Roseline Baptiste is rejuvenated and back on the case. Watch out, I am coming for you.
