Part One
It started out like any other day. The four Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore were all sitting down to breakfast. Slimer their green ghost and friend was watching them, waiting for his time to move in.
Peter looked up just as Slimer made a dive for his breakfast. "Oh no you don't Slimer, this is mine. Get your own."
Ray smiled at Slimer. "Come on Slimer. I'll get you some breakfast."
"Ray! Stop coddling Slimer. He's got to learn."
"Ah Peter. He's just a child." Ray protested.
"Yeah I just a child." Slimer replied.
"Well then that child needs to know when to behave."
Ray was about to answer when Janine came running upstairs. "You got a call and it's sounds like a big one."
They all nodded and grabbed for their gear. Just before going down the pole Ray yelled over to Slimer. "Slimer we are going to have a lesson on manners and patience when I get back."
Slimer was too busy finishing off breakfast to pay him any noticed.
*********
Peter looked over towards Egon. "So what are we up against?" They had arrived at the warehouse and had decided to separate something Peter really didn't care for. Egon pushed his glasses back on his face . "We are up against at least two class 4's."
"Hum well," Peter replied as he heated up his proton gun. "I say it's time to dismissed class."
Egon followed suit and the other two Ghostbusters headed toward them.
*******
Ray held up the PKE meter and looked around . "Hey Winston, I think we should have stayed with the others. The PKE meter isn't picking up anything."
Winston looked at him and he was about to respond when he heard the all two familiar cries of Peter Venkman. "It's sounds like Peter found the ghost."
"Yeah," Ray replied with a smiled ."Or the ghost found him. Come on, I think it came from down the hall."
They both raced down the hall and into another big room where Egon and Peter were holding up two traps that were smoking.
"Well I see you didn't need our help." said Winston.
Peter tossed his trap to him. "I just wanted to go home and take a shower and then go to bed anddrop dead"
"We can't go home yet," protested Ray.
"And why not ?"
"We got to stop at the comic book store so I can pick up the next issue of Captain Steel."
"Raymond, I'm sure that can wait till tomorrow."
"No! It can't Egon! Ever since Captain Steel made a public appearence they don't stay on the shelves. If I don't get it now I may loose out. Please guys it won't take that long. I'll run in and run back out." Ray looked at them giving the best puppy dogs eyes he could muster.
"Ray, don't do that you know I can't resist that." Ray blinked at Peter knowing Peter was about to give in, and if he gave in, the others would too. "All right but you get in there, get the comic book, and get back out."
"I will Peter. I promise."
******
The two spirits watched as Ray entered the store ."He 's seems so young."
"I know, but we can't interfere . But we can fix it later."
The other ghost nodded . "So young to lose his life now."
********
As Ray entered the door, the gunman turned around suddenly and shot his gun. Ray never felt anything as he crumpled to the floor.
"What the hell?" Peter cried as he jumped out of Ecto. He ran in towards the door and was almost run down by the gunman now running down the street. Mr. Connors the owner came running out. "Stop him! He robbed me and ... " He stopped and stared at the other three Ghostbusters. "Oh God! I'm so sorry!." Winston took off after the gunman.
Egon pushed past Peter who was just standing there. He moved quickly over to Ray and fell down on his knees to check for a pulse. But he found none.
"Egon?" came Peter's voice.
Egon looked up, tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry Peter."
"No! Damn it No!" Peter fell down beside the body and shook it. "Damn it Ray! Wake up! This isn't funny!"
Egon slowly pulled him off. "He's gone Peter. I'm so sorry."
Peter sat down next to the body and held him. "Oh Ray why couldn't you had waited till morning. You promised: in and out. You promised."
Winston returned from chasing the gunman. "He got away."
Egon looked at him then back at Peter craddling Ray's body. "If I ever see that man I'm going to tear him limb from limb." Peter muttered.
Egon placed his hand on Peter. "Not if I find him first."
****
The two ghosts watched. "Oh look how sad they are; we must do something."
"We can. They have a female that works for them. She will do."
One of the ghosts placed his hand on Ray and removed his sprirt . "Come. We must hurry and plant his spirit in her before it's too late."
******
Janine was busy fixing herself and Slimer a little snack when suddenly she felt a strong pain inside herself. She gasped and then pass out on the kitchen floor.
When she woke up Slimer was floating over her.
"Janine all right?" he asked.
"Yes. I must have fainted." She slowly got up. "Are the guys back Slimer?"
Slimer didn't answered her. Instead he floated back and forth around her.
"Slimer what are you doing?"
"Ray!"
"What about Ray?"
"Ray in you." Slimer patted Janine's stomach ."Ray in you."
Before Janine could say anything Ecto pulled in. "Well the guys are here."
"Not Ray. He in you."
Janine walked over to greet them. She watched as Winston got out first. He was hanging his head low. "Winston?"
"I got to put these goopers in the unit ." Winston walked past her. She looked at Egon and Peter. Neither one of them moved. She then noticed that Ray wasn't with them.
"What's wrong? Where's Ray?"
Peter got out of Ecto and without saying a word to her went into his office and locked the door. A few minutes later, she heard the sound of things being destroyed.
"Egon, talk to me."
Egon looked at her and suddenly pulled her into Ecto. "He's dead Janine! Some Cretin killed our best friend, mine and Peter's, just took him away from us!"
"Oh Egon! I'm so sorry." Janine reached out to comfort him and Egon accepted it, crying on her shoulder. "It was so unfair Janine! He didn't have to kill him! All Ray wanted was his comic book!"
Janine held Egon as he cried she had never really seen him break down like this. He looked so lost and alone. Slimer looked at them.
"Don't cry. Ray come back." again he pointed to Janine. "Ray inside Janine."
Egon stared at him. "Slimer. What do you mean?"
"I sense Ray spirit inside Janine. Janine having Ray."
They both stared at him.
"Baby! Janine have baby Ray!"
