On a typical rainy afternoon, most people try to avoid going outside into the sour weather if they can help it.
However, there are those who have to put up with the downpours and drizzles and that included the ghostbusters.
The four member team were on assignment at an abandoned movie house, after getting a call from a demolition company, who were about to tear down the building saying that the crew heard strange noises and kept seeing unexpected bright lights.
And sure enough, when the ghostbusters arrived, the placed was indeed haunted by ghosts of those who had worked and performed in the theater's past life.
The team had just captured a set of ghosts ushers that were followed by several other ghouls, when suddenly another object appeared before them.
It was a ghost of a heavy set woman, dressed in what appeared to be armor and had a viking helmet on her head, as she let out a horrible sounding screech.
"AAAAAAHHHH!" went the spirit, as her pircing cries caused the ghostbusters to cover their ears.
"Valkeri at 12 o clock!" Ray shouted, through the noise.
"I got 3:04 pm," Peter yelled back as he looked as his watch.
"Winston, get another trap ready!
Everyone set proton wands aiming at the enity's torso!" Egon called out.
The team did just that, and shot at the valkeri, causing it to scream louder.
But using all of their might, The Ghostbusters were able to trap the spirit.
"Well, that was quite a task wasn't it?" Ray said to his fellow ghostbusters.
"What?" asked Peter.
"Ray said that was quite a task wasn't it?" said Winston.
"What?" Peter replied.
"I think Peter's ears maybe ringing from the screeching of the valkeri," Egon pointed.
"I can't hear you guys, my ears are ringing from that damn ghost's wailing," Peter called out.
"Exactly."
After doing a quick check around the theater to see if there was anymore ghosts, which there wasn't, the ghostbusters gave the demolition company the approval for them to work.
The manager of the company thanked the ghostbusters and paid them for their services.
The four member team then headed back to the firehouse.
During the drive, Peter, who was seated in the back, rubbed his forehead and temple.
"Man, what headache," he said.
"How's your hearing Peter?" asked Winston from the front passenger seat.
"The ringing in my ears stopped, but not now it feels like jackhammers pounding on my head
Thanks for asking" Peter replied.
"There's asprin in the medicine cabinet back at headquarters," said Egon, from the driver's seat.
"I've got something Peter can take right now," said Ray, who was in the back as well.
He then reached into the side pocket of his flightsuit, pulled out a pill bottle and handed it to Peter.
"Just take one of those and you're feel better, and it works faster and longer than asprin."
"What are thses?" Peter asked.
"Just some pain pills I take when I need them," Ray answered.
"When did you get the pills?" asked Winston.
"After my accident."
The accident Ray was refering to was a few months ago, when he was hit by a taxi cab, causing him to have several injuries, including broken bones, internal brusing and a concussion.
"Ray, your accident was back in Febuaray, and were almost into June.
Are you still in pain?" asked Egon.
"It comes and goes, Ray answered,"Like today because of the weather, my leg and head are killing me."
Peter handed the pill bottle back to Ray and said,"Actually, I think the asprin will do me good.
Thanks anyway Ray."
After Ecto1 pulled into the firehouse and the ghostbusters got out of the car, each one of them did their own thing.
Peter went to get the asprin, but not before giving Egon a hand taking the packs out of the back seat, while Winston and Ray went to empty the traps into the containment unit.
As the two took care of the traps,Winston asked,"Say Ray, how many of those pills do you really take?"
"As I said in the car, only when I need them," Ray answered, sounding rather fidgety.
"Let me ask this now, how many bottle do you have of them?"
Ray was starting to get annoyed, and asked,"What's with the third degree questioning?"
"Ray, I know Dr. Marshall gave you pills for the pain after your accident,along with physical threapy, but it's been just about four months now since it happened.
Plus, I highly doubt Dr. Marshall gave you multiple perscrpitions."
"Winston, in case you forgot, I was hit on impact by a cab driver, cracked my ribs, broke not only my wrist, but my leg as well, I had brusing both inside and outside my body, I had a concussion and was out for three days!
I'm still in pain, and I'm going to have the pain most likely the rest of my life!" said Ray, who was almost yelling.
"You're right Ray, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get up all in your business.
We're just concerned about you that's all," said Winston.
Ray calmed himself down and said,"That's OK Winston.
I appreciate you,Peter and Egon looking out for me, but I'm a grown man, who is capable of taking care of himself."
"Alright then Ray.
Just remember, if you ever need any help, you know the guys and I are here."
"Will do thanks."
Once the last trap was emptied out into the containment unit, Ray and Winston headed back upstairs.
Not saying another word about the talk.
Though Winston knew very well that something was not right after what Ray told him about the pills.
There was something not honest about the conversation, as Ray never told a lie ever.
And Winston was going to get to the bottom of the situation.
