While Mr. Burns took care of what he needed to do in the kitchen, Ray,Winston and Peter took a seat in the lobby.
"I wonder what could have happened to Egon," said Winston.
"Yeah, it's not like him to go off on a job like that, said Ray, Peter maybe, but not Egon."
"Ha ha ha, very funny Ray.
All kidding aside, let's hope there aren't anymore ghosts around and he was grabbed by them," said Peter.
Ray got up, and did a quick sweep of the area with his PKE meter, which didn't go off.
"All clean here," he said, placing the item back onto his belt.
Just then, a voice call out to the ghostbusters.
"Pardon me gentlemen, I believe we found your team member," said the voice.
Ray,Peter and Winston turned to see Mr. Burns , along with another staff member, standing in between Egon, who was shivering.
The three ghostbusters rushed to him.
"Egon, man where have you been?" asked Winston.
"Yeah, what's the big idea, taking off on a job?" asked Peter.
Ray gave him a slight glare, turned to Egon and asked,"What happened to you?
Are you OK?"
"I..I wa..was tr..trapped in a..frrr...freezer..bu..by the ghosts," Egon answered, as he blew into his hands to get himself warm.
"How long were you in there?" asked Winston.
"A...About ccc...closssse tooo eight mmm..minutes."
Ray, Peter and Winston took a closer look at Egon.
He was very much shivering badly, his hands and face looked a slight shade of blue, and his teeth were chattering.
"We better get you back to the firehouse, now," said Ray, who along with Winston, helped Egon walk out to the car.
"Well sent you the bill," Peter told Mr. Burns, before catching up to the others.
Normally, Peter would make a fuss about payment, and ask for it up front, however this time, he made an exception.
Once all four Ghostbusters got to the car, Ray removed Egon's proton pack for him, then he was helped to the front passenger side of the car by Winston and Peter.
As Ray climbed into the driver's seat, he asked his fellow ghostbuster and friend,"Ready to go?"
Egon, who was still shivering and huddling his arms was able to answer,"Yes," though chattering teeth.
"Maybe you'll warm up a bit, by the time we get back to the firehouse,"said Winston.
However, when Ecto-1 arrived back to the firehouse, while Egon's face and hands had returned to a normal color, he was still shivering and couldn't seem to move his body out of the car seat because of it.
Peter undid his seat belt, then got out of the car and helped remove Egon's who was able to get out of the car, but had trouble standing up.
Ray and Winston held him up by his arms.
Jeanie, who was at her desk typing on her computer looked over and asked,"Egon, are you OK?"
"He got trapped in a meat freezer on the job and was locked inside for almost 10 minutes," Peter answered.
"Is there anything I can do?
I can make a quick pot of tea, that should warm him up."
"Thanks Jeanie, said Ray, who turned to Winston and said,"Come on, let's take Egon upstairs to warm up.
And that was what they did.
Once the team made it upstairs to the living room/rec area, helping a still shivering Egon, keeping him balanced, they tried to figure out where they can put him down to warm up.
"Let's put him on the couch," Winston suggested.
"Good idea," said Ray, as he and Winston gingerly placed Egon down in a sitting position.
"I think it would help if we put his legs up," Peter pointed out.
Ray and Winston carefully lifted Egon's legs up on the couch, along with unzipping and removing his boots.
"No,... please... keep... them on," said Egon, as he countinued to shake, as he was indeed cold all over from head to toe.
Not to mention that he did have ticklish feet,(a secret that only Jeanie knew) but would not hear the end of it from his fellow Ghostbusters if they found out.
Thankfully, for his sake, Egon didn't laugh.
He however began to cough deeply
"Winston, make up a warm compress, Peter, fill up a hot water bottle, I'll go get a blanket," said Ray.
Ray raced into the bedroom, opened the footlocker by his bed, took out a dark blue blanket that he kept for the colder weather, went back into the living room, and covered Egon with the blanket.
At that moment, Peter enter the room.
"Got the hot water bottle," he said, carrying the item, wrapped in a towel.
Ray lifted the blanket, and placed the towel covered hot water under Egon's stocking feet, before covering them back up.
"Here's the compress," said Winston, holding a damp wash cloth, which he then placed on Egon's forehead, after removing his glasses and placing them next to him on the table.
Just then, Jeanie arrived upstairs, holding a mug.
"Tea's ready," she said, placing the mug on the table, next to Egon's glasses.
Egon, who's shivering was begging to get under control, slowly lifted his upper body upright, grabbed a hold of the mug with slightly shaking hands and carefully drank the hot beverage, before placing the mug back down.
"How are you feeling?" Ray asked.
"I'm warming up now," Egon answered.
"I can see you're not shivering as bad as you were, when he got here," said Winston.
"Actually, do you mind if I take off the compress and get rid of the hot water bottle?"
"Are you sure?" asked Peter.
Egon began to cough again replied,"Yes, I'm getting a bit over heated.
I don't even think I need the blanket anymore either."
He then removed the blanket off his body, took the compress off his temple, and got himself back up in a sitting position.
"Glad to see you're better," said Jeanie.
"You gave us quite a scare there pal," Ray added.
"I'm alright now, but I feel rather hot," said Egon, who then unzipped his flightsuit, revealing his black t-shirt, removed his arms from then sleeves, which he then tied around his waist, and placed his glasses back on.
