This wasn't a surprising reaction. The main objective, when dealing with a skeptic, was not to get hit. Again. "This isn't a joke," Fisher assured him. "And believe me, I'm not trying to be an asshole. I just... there's this woman following me around, see, and she led me here so she could talk to you. She said she was James' mother, and since she led me here, and you answered when I called, I can only assume you're James."
The guy did not seem to be buying it, and in fact looked (if possible) more irked. "I'm a medium," Fisher explained for what felt like the millionth time. "I can see and talk to dead people. Usually they come find me and ask me to deliver messages to their loved ones. I woke up this morning and this woman who claims to be your mom was standing there, and she won't leave me alone until she's said her piece."
