I let out the breath I'd been holding since I had entered The Lightman Group. I sat down at the table in the coffee shop with Sam and Tucker. They looked at me with expressions close to glee, but also hiding worry.

"Well, we're not through it yet, but we have made it so far." I smiled.

"Don't jinx it Danny." Sam sighed.

"I just can't believe it, that and I'm surprised we weren't attacked yet, that would make things so much harder, especially if I'm always on the run fighting ghosts, these people might find something out." I sighed.

"Well don't push your luck." Sam said. Tucker nodded his mouth full of a pastry.

"As long as no ghosts show up, I won't have to." I smiled confident, that was my fist mistake, Murphy's Law.

"If one does show up, it's probably be someone lame, like the box ghost." Tucker said wiping his hand off; that was Tucker's mistake.

"Or it'll be someone you'll not be able to beat just by sucking them into the thermos, Tucker that's disgusting, I put up with it a school, but you're in public." Sam said hitting him upside the head. I laughed, then happened to glance outside. Dr. Lightman was walking toward the coffee shop.

"Isn't that the lie guy?" Tucker asked swallowing his pastry.

"Crud." I said, "Act natural." I looked into my drink.

"Danny, when you say act natural, Tucker acts anything but natural." Sam sighed, Tucker was pretending to be a undercover spy or something, I rolled my eyes, also scanning the store for the quickest possible exists and places to go ghost if I needed to.

"Tucker, just do something with your PDA." I sighed, he nodded and kept acting like an undercover spy, the only difference was that he was using his PDA. After a few second watching him I couldn't help it anymore, I laughed, my laugh caused Sam to laugh, and in turn caused Tucker to get more dramatic with his act. He waggled his eyebrows and slowly sunk down in his seat till there was nothing but his eyes showing, then he looked around suspiciously. By this time we were really going, Tucker then put his PDA to his head like a radio and made strange noises.

"What are you and upset stomach." Sam asked holding her tummy. Tucker then looked shocked at her.

"You've discovered me!" I said dramatically, "But I'm invisible." He looked down all of a sudden then looked disappointed.

"Dude, you don't do invisibility well." I laughed. Tucker shrugged.

"We all can't have super powers Danny." He joked, I rolled my eyes, then realized that Dr. Lightman was watching us. I instantly sobered looking away.

"Tucker you have no self control do you?" Sam asked wiping tears out of her eyes. I thought back, was it really that funny, I guess seeing Lightman had ruined my mood.

"No more than a male ape." Tucker said with a smile.

"Nasty image, can we go?' I asked looking around as if something would jump out at me.

"Dude you look like you've seen a ghost… or rather something really scary you don't fight everyday." Tucker shrugged.

"Déjà vu." I said, then shrugged, "Any we that guy from The Lightman Group keeps looking at me." I said leaning in, "Maybe I'm just paranoid but I think he knows something." I felt very exposed, I knew I was an open book, just most people didn't bother to read me, I was harmless, naïve Danny Fenton.

"Mind if I join you?' I jumped as Valerie came up the table.

"Uh…" I looked around for an escaped, when I didn't find one I sighed, "sure." Tucker and Sam glared at me, I shrugged.

"So that was pretty weird huh?' Valerie asked looking at us. I inwardly cringed.

"Yeah guess." I smiled trying to get my mind off of it, "It's not like we really know anything about it right?" I asked Val, she looked around sheepishly, I did too actually.

"Right." She smiled, we both knew she was there, she just didn't know I knew. I looked down at my drink.

"So what happened to you during the invasion, you kinda disappeared." Val asked, great, she'd noticed.

"I went outside the ghost shield to see if I could help, I guess that didn't really work since Vlad found me passed out outside of it." I smiled, it did work, but I still had passed out.

"I see." Val nodded like she believed it.

"Now that's a lie that is." I jumped looking over at Lightman.

"Oh… uh, Dr. Lightman." I said, Valerie looked at me weird.

"Why would you lie about that?' She asked.

"I didn't I really did leave to help." I said, it was the truth.

"That's only half true, isn't it." Lightman looked at me head cocked, I looked away, he pointed to my face, "Now that, that was a yes."

"Look I don't have to explain myself to you, I left to help, that's all you need to know." I said defiantly.

"So what did you do?" He asked. I didn't answer, "Fine, but did it work?" he asked, I sighed, "Apparently so."

"Cal!" A woman said coming over and putting her hand Lightman's arm, "what are you doing."

"I'm trying to get the truth, if that's already with you… is it… Foster?" he asked, the woman looked exasperated with the man as if she were dealing with a two year old.

"Danny?" I looked back to Valerie, "What did you do? Did you save the town?"

"No." I said.

"Lie." Lightman said.

"Phantom saved the town, not me." I said looking at him evenly, he looked at my eyes shifting back and forth.

"He's telling the truth there." Lightman said almost surprised.

"Did you expect me not to?'

"Well so far every word that's come out of your mouth has been a lie, so what am I supposed to think?" I rolled my eyes.

"I have to go." I said getting up, "I'll see you tomorrow." I told Lightman sounding actually quite mature. I left, Sam and Tucker followed, Sam put her hand on my arm.

"Look Danny he's just doing his job."

"Yeah, but he doesn't have go pry into my personal life to do it." I sighed, "He just has to find out how the town disappeared, I'm willing to work with him on that, but I'm not going to give up my secret that easily." I looked around, "Plus he's a bit of a jerk."

"I'll give you that." Sam said, Tucker sighed.

"Dude, you were too."

"Shut up Tucker." I glared, Tucker looked hurt, I sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm just a little frazzled right now," Tuck still looked like I took his PDA, "I really am sorry." I said pausing. He shrugged.

"Its cool man." Tucker told me, I looked at him.

"Are you sure?" I asked, Tuck nodded.

"Danny, maybe you should take a nap or something, you look a little sleep deprived."

"Now that you mention it, I really didn't sleep well last night, Dad was snoring so loud." I rubbed the back of my neck, that and I was worried ghosts had followed me and I kept waking up at every noise.

"Then now's the perfect time to go, you're parents are probably still being questioned."

"Ok, thanks Sam…and Tucker, I really am sorry." I said, he nodded.

"Like I said, it's cool." He smiled, I got the feeling it wasn't though, but chose to ignore it.

I arrived at the hotel flopping down onto the bed the moment I got there. Sam laughed at me and patted my hair, Tucker made a comment about lovebirds, and we glared at him.

"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite… but if the vampires come for you, send them to my room ok?" Sam smiled, I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah I'll be sure to do that." I smiled, Sam left with Tucker. I closed my eyes, drifting into a much-needed sleep.

SO… second chapter.

Anonymous: I guess there has to be, but the stupid computer I'm on won't let me find the category, so until further notice I'm afraid this will have to stay here.

ColorLikeWoah: Glad you're reading another one of my stories, Lie to Me is actually pretty good if you want to look up a couple episodes for back ground, I like it anyway.
