It was a rainy day in New York City. The Ghostbusters had just gotten a call to bust another nasty Class 5 at Sedgewick Hotel again. It was raining so hard it was to see, but they had a t least one good driver. The guys to the hotel, and Peter got slimed. Again. After an hour of chasing the ghost on 4 floors, they were finally able to catch it. The manager paid them and they stepped outside to find it was still raining cats and dogs.
"Hey Winston, how about I drive us back." Dr. Egon Spengler said as they hastily loaded their equipment into the back. "You look like you need a break from driving for a bit."
"Ok and thanks Egon." Winston Zeddemore said. "I do need a break and you probably need to drive a little bit more since you're more responsible than Peter."
"Hey!" Dr. Peter Venkman yelled, sounding a little insulted, "I am responsible, right Ray?"
"Not really," Dr. Ray Stantz replied, "There was that time where you DID leave a proton pack out in the rain."
"Hey, not my fault." Peter said.
"Ok, ok, that's enough." Winston said, "Come on, let's get back to the firehall before all four of us catch pneumonia."
"Yes, thank you Winston." Egon said as he got into the driver's seat. The four than started back to the firehall. Rain was still coming down hard. "I'm surprised that I'm driving very well in rain, and I haven't crashed into anything yet." Egon thought.
"You're doing better than I expected Egon. Gold star for you" Peter said as put a gold star sticker on Egon's dark brown hair, which even had tints of purple.
"Uhh, thank you Venkman." Egon said as he took the sticker out of his hair.
"Aww! You're no fun!" Peter whined, "Luckly, I have more where that came from."
"Peter, make me crash into something, you'll be dead faster than you can put stickers on me." said Egon.
"Do that, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life." replied Peter.
"Do that Peter, I'll put you in the containment unit." Egon shot back.
"Ok, that's enough!" Winston said, "Egon, no killing. Peter, no haunting. Egon, no putting Peter into the containment unit, etc."
"Yeah, we don't need any murdering, haunting, or putting anyone in the containment unit." Ray added.
"Okay." Peter and Egon said at the same time. "But I'll get you later."
The light turned red and they stopped. "I sure hope this weather doesn't stick around much longer. I don't like busting ghosts in this kind of weather." said Winston.
"Yeah, me too." Ray replied. "I'm also surprised that we haven't caught pneumonia yet." The light then turned green.
"Well Ray," Egon said as he stepped on the gas pedal, "You have to be in the rain for a-"
BAM!
A car ran a red light and slammed into Ecto-1. The guys were dazed for a second, but were quickly able to recover.
"Ugh." Winston moaned, "You guys ok?"
"Yeah," Ray replied rubbing the back of his head, "What happened?"
"Looks like someone crashed into us," said Winston.
"Peter, you ok?" Ray asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine Ray." Peter replied, "Just a little dazed."
"Egon, you ok?" asked Winston.
But Egon didn't answer.
"Egon? You ok?" asked Ray.
Egon still didn't answer.
"Peter, is he ok?" Winston asked.
Peter looked over and gasped.
"Peter, is he ok?" Ray asked when Peter didn't answer Winston's question.
Peter continued to stare at Egon with wide, worried eyes. Egon was leaning up against the steering wheel and was not responding. Peter gently nudged Egon, but he didn't respond to his touch. Peter then noticed that blood was running was running down Egon's face.
"Peter, is he ok?" Winston asked in a worried voice.
"No" Peter finally responded, "He's not even moving."
