Unfortunately I don't own ghost busters. If I did I'd be a very happy person.

All in a days work

Ch.1 Ecto


The alarm was screeching. It was almost 3am and the guys had just come back into the fire house.

"Does anyone notice something weird here?" Peter moaned as he flopped onto the bed

"Come on Peter we have a call." Ray sighed and slid back down the pole.

"From who Ray? Janine is not here to hit that alarm!"

The two trudged into the office to see an empty desk. Someone had pushed the alarm but whom? Ray looked around the desk and everywhere else he could think of before shutting the alarm off.

"Well Peter looks like it was a false alarm. Perhaps it's one of those cockroaches they'll take your head off ya know." The two smirked and made it back up the stairs.

Egon was off for the night and Winston had quit after settling down and starting a family. Busting ghosts just didn't make the money he needed to provide for a family.

"Do you think we have a ghost Peter?"

"Wouldn't that be ironic the Ghostbusters have a ghost. I think it's the wiring for that damn alarm. Just get some sleep and we'll deal with it in the morning better yet let Egon deal with it we're the one's that've been here all night."

The two were silent as they slid into their beds. It was then that they heard it. A loud yowling sound outside of the firehouse continued for several minutes.

"Oh great now what?" growled Peter.

He placed the pillow over his head and tried to ignore the cries.

"It's probably just a cat." Ray started as he sat up in the bed. I'll go check it out.


He made it downstairs and poked his head out the door. A small black ball of fluff was curled at the base of the door in the new fallen snow. It looked up at ray and cried.

"Poor little guy you're just cold. Peter won't mind if I bring you in for the night." As he reached for the cat it hopped down the steps and around the corner.

"Come back it's too cold out here for a kitten." He heard the cat yowling not far from him. As he turned the corner he saw the cat, back arched, and hissing at something in front of it. The cat was growling at a ghost. It had been outside all night trying to scare off a ghost. Ray scooped the cat up and chased the ghost off. He ran back into the fire house.

"Venkman! Venkman you have to come see what I found."

Peter moaned as he looked over at Ray.

"This better be good otherwise I'm going to kill you."

"Venkman look it was sitting on the doorstep."

"Ray it's a cat."

"Not Just a cat Venkman he found a ghost. He's been sitting outside watching a ghost."

"Answer me this then Ray: did you at least catch the ghost."

He sat there speechless for a moment. "Well uh no I was trying to get the cat in. I'm going to keep him and let Egon take a look at him."

Peter sat up in the bed. "Come on Ray you gotta be kidding me. We don't need a cat living in the firehouse."

"I think I'll call him Ecto. After all he finds ghosts just like us."

"If it comes near me I'll skin the both of you."

The kitten curled up on the bed next to Ray. It was gently purring as he rubbed its head.

"Get some sleep Ecto tomorrow we'll show you to Egon and Janine."


Authors soap box:

I had to start this off with something slightly different. I have no idea where this is going but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. It'll all come together don't worry. Read review and like it.
