It's Maya, she needs some help.

Phoenix hadn't even said hello into the receiver when a voice screamed on the other end, "NIIIIIIIICK!" Phoenix pulled the phone away from his now ringing ear. But despite the ear pain he was smiling, it was his good friend/assistant Maya Fey. The Spirit Medium had stopped being his full time assistant to work on her spirit channeling (at least he hoped she was working instead of watching cartoons all day with Pearly). Even if she could be a little bit annoying, he missed having Maya in his everyday life. "Hey Maya, is everything ok?"

"Oh Nick, it's going great, it's perfect. But it's not. I kind of need a little bit of help here, I might be in trouble."

Phoenix was a bit nervous but wasn't in panic mode yet, "Ok Maya, please just take a deep breath and tell me what's going on. Why do you need my help." Phoenix waited for a response but only heard nothing. "Maya, let go of the deep breath and talk now."

Maya gasped on the other end of the line, "Ok Nick, I'll tell you. But promise you won't be mad."

"I promise, just tell me so I know what I'm not supposed to be mad at." Phoenix said anticipating the worst.
