Chapter 2 Fifth Story Save:
They made it to the fifth floor by elevator, and found room 509.
Before they even got close to it, they were able to hear crashing and banging sounds, including screams.
"There's a girl in there," Ray said as the four began to run toward her hotel door!
Ray tried opening the door, thinking it could be unlocked.
"Ray," Peter started. "This is a hotel. You need a keycard to get it opened."
Ray brushed his hand through his hair in a worried manner. "Right, I wasn't thinking about that. But we don't have time to go back down and get a card."
"We could use these." Egon said, indicating the proton packs.
"Well, that is easier than breaking our shoulders or ankles," Peter agreed.
The three got out of Egon's way as he set his particle thrower to the lowest setting then fired it at the door.
The door flew opened and the four ran inside just in time to see the male apparition pick up a desk and aim it at the girl.
"Hey!" Peter yelled out to the ghost. "Don't you have any respect for women?"
"We gotta get the ghost to drop the desk before he kills her!" Ray said noticing the blood and bruises that were noticeable on her. "Peter! Winston! Set your throwers on medium and blast that table away from her! Egon, try capturing the spirit! I'll roll out the trap once you two blasted away the desk!"
Everyone did as he said, but before he even got a chance to open the trap, the entity, without having to touch the girl, picked her up off the ground and flung her toward the glass door of the balcony.
She screamed as she was thrown, but went silent as soon as she hit the glass.
As she was thrown, Ray stopped what he as doing and ran as fast as he could to try and catch her before she plummeted to her death.
He caught her by the ankle. He was only able to hold her with one hand so he could hold onto the railing with the other as to not fall forward himself.
Because Ray left without getting a chance to open the trap for his friends, Peter, who was closest to him at the time, hit the foot pedal and the ghost was finally caught, and no longer a threat.
Ray was struggling on keeping his grip on the woman. "Guys, I need some help pulling her up!"
Winston and Egon ran over to help him. Once they got her to safety, Ray was holding her in his arms, the girl still unconscious.
"We need to get her to a hospital," Ray said concerned about the condition she was in.
The other three agreed, and soon they were back in the lobby with the girl still in Ray's arms.
There wasn't really anywhere they could lay her in the back of their Ecto, so Peter, while Ray took the drivers seat, as usual, had her laying up against him in the front passenger seat.
Ecto-1 was now speeding down the road toward the direction of the hospital with its siren blaring.
The Ghostbusters finally made it to the hospital, everyone there staring in disbelief at them.
"No worries, folks," Peter announced! "We're just here to drop off this young woman who was attacked by one of the ghosts we caught!" He was the one holding the girl this time.
Three doctors ran up to them, two bringing up a stretcher for Peter to set her on.
"What exactly happened to her," one of the female doctors asked?
Egon spoke up this time. "She was attacked by an entity who was occupying her hotel room. She had things thrown at her and was then thrown at the glass door of her balcony."
"My god! What level was she on?"
Ray was the one to answer that question. "She was on the fifth floor, but I caught her just in time."
"Wow! That must be some good reflexes you have there…" She looked down at his nametag stitched into his uniform. "…Mr. Stantz."
He smiled with a little shrug. "Dr. Stantz, actually," he then said. The other doctors were already taking the woman to the emergency room. Ray watched as they took her into an elevator.
"Oh, my apologies, Dr. Stantz!"
"It's alright." He smiled. Then he asked, "Would it be alright if either of us was to come and visit to see how she was doing?"
"Of course," The doctor smiled.
