It was a typical day in the city of New York.
The streets, and subways were buzzing with activity as usually.
And that was the case as well with the ghostbusters.
After they received a call about strange on-goings at a local bookshop, the team was called to check it out .
Sure enough, a group of class five roaming vapors were running or rather flying amoke at the store.
The ghostbusters chased the ghouls through out the store.
The spirits though managed to escape by shooting through the back door.
"They're getting away!" shouted Ray, as he and the rest of the ghostbusters scrambled out the door to catch the ghosts.
But not before Peter said to the shopkeepers, "Sorry, we'll pay for that." for the damaged they left behind of torn apart books, and collapsed shelves.
The ghostbusters then went on a wild goose chase out the shop and into a back alleyway.
"Damn it we lost them," said Winston.
"I'm picking up something right now," said Egon, as he waved his PKE meter.
"Ectoplasma movement?" asked Ray.
"No actually, cat dander.
ACHOO!"
Sure enough a stray cat passed by them.
"You and your allergies," said Peter.
Suddenly, the meter went off and cat was scared away as the spirits appeared from behind some trash cans where they were hiding to avoid being caught by the team.
"After them!" shouted Winston.
And once more the chase took off.
"Don't let them get away!" Ray called out.
While trying to catch up to them, the ghosts knocked over several cans, creating a detour for the ghostbusters.
Thankfully, the team was used to avoiding falling objects and traps.
Winston, Peter and Egon had extra practice at it, since they all lived with kids, infants and toddlers and were used to not tripping and falling over items on the ground, i.e. toys, roller skates, skateboards, game pieces and puzzles.
Ray, who was behind the group, nearly got blindsided, when another stray cat appeared out of nowhere.
Being that his fiancé Jenny had a cat, Ray always had to be careful where he walked in her apartment, so he wouldn't trip over or step on Salem's tail.
However, Ray fail to notice a banana peel that fell out of one of the trash cans on the ground.
Just as he was about to catch up to his fellow ghostbusters, Ray slipped on the peel, slide sideways, banged the back of his head onto a wall, and was knocked out cold.
Meanwhile, Peter, Egon and Winston, despite being short a member were able to keep the vapors in place, thanks to their proton beams.
"We got them!" shouted Peter.
"Egon get the trap open!" Winston added.
"Here it comes!" said Egon, who stomped the trap open.
The ghostbusters lowered the beams, along with the ghosts closer to the trap, until the spirits were sucked in, causing Egon to seal the trap up.
"As Ray always says, that wasn't such a chore," Peter chuckled.
"Speaking of Ray, where is he?" asked Winston.
"I thought he was behind us," said Egon.
"Let's hope there wasn't anymore ghosts and he caught captured."
The three ghostbusters then went on a search for their missing teammate.
Luckily, they found Ray slumped over against the wall where he hit his head.
The three ghostbusters gathered around their friend and teammate.
"Ray, are you OK?" said Winston.
"Raymond, wake up it's us," added Egon.
"Ray, can you hear us?" asked Peter.
At that moment, Ray's eyes began to flicker open and he stir his head.
"He's coming to," said Winston, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Come on, let's help him up," said Peter, as he, Egon and Winston helped Ray to his feet.
"What happened?
Why does the back of my head hurt?" asked Ray.
"Judging by how we found you, and the debris on the ground you seemed to have slipped and hit you head on the wall," Egon concluded.
"By other than that you're OK?" asked Winston.
"Yes, a bit dizzy, but other than that I'm fine thank you, said Ray, I just have one question though.
"What is it?"
"Who are you people?"
"Ray, quit clowning around it's us," said Peter.
"Us who?"
"Raymond, what are you saying
You don't know who we are, or who you are?" asked Egon.
"Is that even my name?" asked Ray.
"Yes, and we're your team mates and friends, the ghostbusters," said Winston.
"You started this group," Peter added.
"Sorry, but that doesn't ring a bell to me.
Come to think of it, I've never seen you three before," said Ray.
Winston, Peter and Egon grew concern over the wellbeing of their friend and member.
"I think we better get Ray to the hospital," Winston suggested.
"My thoughts exactly," Egon added.
"Yeah, this is getting scary," said Peter.
"Come with us Ray."
"Where are you taking?" asked Ray, who was getting nervous, while Peter and Winston each took an arm to keep him steady.
"There's nothing to worry about, " said Winston assuring him.
"We're just going to take you to the hospital to see what's wrong," Peter.
"Raymond, you have to trust us.
We're here to help you," spoke Egon.
"OK.
I'll come with you, only because you're the nicest people I've met so far," said Ray.
"Just to give you a heads up Ray.
You're in New York, there's not too many nice people here unless you're a tourist," Peter pointed out.
"What is that thing?" Ray asked as the team approached the car.
"That would be our car, Ecto-1," Peter answered.
"Yeah, isn't she a beauty," Winston added.
"You mean, you drive around in that ugly car," said Ray.
"Actually Ray, not only did you pick the car out but you designed it yourself.
Not to mention tuned it," Egon pointed out.
"Sorry, but none of it is ringing a bell to me."
After helping him off with his proton pack and getting him into the car, the team drove Ray to the nearby hospital.
