Abby sat at her desk, which was close to Kevin so she could supervise him. It was a day just like any other, except a little too quiet. "Hey Erin, where's Holtz? I haven't hears any poofs yet and its already 2pm" Erin stopped writing on her big whiteboard and thought for a monet before responding. "She's upstairs in her lab, maybe she's doing calculations or making blueprints?" Abby gave a brief nod of agreement but still felt a little concerned "I'm gonna go upstairs and check on her"
Abby went upstairs to Holtzmann's main work bench not seeing her in her chair she looked around. Abby walked around looking at all the unfinished projects such as Holtzmann's proton shield. The way Holtzmann explained it to Erin was it would keep ghosts out of an area or stuck in one spot. Abby walked around a little more until her foot hit a heavy object on the floor. "Damn it Holtz, quit leaving stuff on the floor" Abby looked down to see what she kicked, and instead of seeing an object the blonde she was looking for was on the floor. Holtz wan sitting with her knees close to her chest with her arms wrapped around then and a look of despair. Abby knew she would have to start the conversation, since Holtzmann usually doesn't talk avout her feelings. Abby sat down next to the blonde and put her arm around her shoulder bringing her into an embrace. "Holtzy whats wrong?" The blonde looked up to Abby with her blue eyes full of fear,sadness and regret. "Abby, you remeber Andrew Johnson, the guy from CERN I told you about that I put into a coma? He woke up, and Dr.Gorrin said he's gonna make a full recovery." Abby became confused from the blonde's behavior "Holtzmann shouldn't that be good news? It was a lab accident, that kind of stuff happens everybody knows the risks with experiments"
Holtzmann seemed frustrated with Abby's statement "Abby he is dangerous, if he died he would be the most dangerous ghost in the world. In coma he couldn't do anything, now he's better and he can do anything. That lab accident wasn't my fault! I DID ALL THE CALCULATIONS AND HE CHANGED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME SO THE DEVICE WOULD CREATE MORE POWER TO OPEN THE PORTAL TO THE PARANORMAL DIMENSION! The device worked but he wanted to change the settings and be able to find a powerful entity but the machine blew up and he got 2nd degree burns and hit his head causing the coma. Even before that he was obsessed with power and rhe paranormal. I was scared of him constantly because of his ideas and he tried to get me to help but I refused. Abby we can't let him know I'm in the Ghostbusters, if he shows up or calls we need to lie and say I left. If he finds I work with powerful equipment it won't end well. Please don't tell Erin or Patty, the less they know the better."
Abby processed all the information she was given in the little time "Holtzy I won't tell Erin or Patty but sooner or later you will have to. I don't want you to wait to long though, they deserve to know so they can help. I mean that man could show up one day and Kevin would probably let him in. Erin anf Patty won't know any better, then what do we do?" Holtzmann uderstood what Abby had said and gave a brief nod "I know Abby, don't worry I'll tell them soon. I think we have time though since we're in New York and he's somewhere in Europe. If you feel like its a big risk with Kevin I can install some security cameras, that way one of us can always watch the firehouse." Abby gave a smaller smile "I promise I won't tell them anything Holtzy, and if that Andrew Johnson ever shows up I'll kick his ass like there's no tomorrow." Holtzmann gave her signature smirk and hugged her best friend, then proceeded to get up and start working at her bench. "Thanks Abby, it means alot and don't tell anyone I was being soft. I can't loose my street cred ya know." Abby gave a chuckle and left the blonde to work once she heard thw loud 80s music fill the second floor.
