"Did we get anything on the sensors before it fried them?" Danny was heading to the monitoring room while the officer desperately tried to keep up and brief him at the same time.
"Yes…a little…sir" the officer wheezed desperately trying to catch up to his superior. " Whatever … it… is … it doesn't…seem…to be affecting… the…environment."
"Johnson?"
"Yes sir?"
"I'm so taking you off of desk duty." Johnson laughed. At least I can supply a little humor to the situation, Danny thought.
They opened the doors of the monitoring room to find a tall slightly built man typing with the near speed and accuracy of a computer.
"Anything Tuck," /Danny asked his best friend and head of technology for the force. It was one of the easiest decisions to make, give the techno geek his tech and every thing is right with the world.
"Well… Sort of,"
"I don't understand"
"It left us an EVP of some sort."
"Well let's hear it."
The sound that came over the speakers was near indescribable. The voice was androgynous and monotone but the power that came from it was undeniably strong. The words were gargled and came out more as moans. It was as if he passed out but he was still standing. Danny felt something warm and wet sliding down his lips and neck. He reached up and felt it. Blood. He looked around. Every one was in the same position except there was a body on the floor.
"Tuck!" Danny rushed over to his friend who just awoke as if nothing had happened though there was blood going down his shirt.
"Danny, what happened? Why am I on the floor? And why the hell are you bleeding so bad, did you get into a fight or something?"
"Tuck what do you remember?"
"I remember coming into work, checking the monitors, then something bad happened, then you came, we talked, and now I'm on the floor and you're bleeding. Did I punch you?"
"No, It was just a serious EVP that must have messed with us. It didn't really say anything just a lot of moaning that's all."
"If that's all then why are we bleeding everywhere, hmm?"
"I don't know, but what I do know is that nobody else is listening to that sound byte." He turned to the other officers in the room. "Nobody, and I do mean nobody is going to listen to the EVP under any circumstances until we can understand what it is capable of. Understood?"
"Sir, yes sir." They answered in chorus.
"Pass it on to your fellow officers and take a break to go clean yourselves up and see the clinic. Dismissed." Danny turned to his friend. "Are you okay?"
"Yea, I'm good."
"I wonder why it affected you more?"
"Probably because I was closest to the speakers. Any ideas on what could do this, cause I'm thinking Ember just joined up with a powerful ghost. I mean come on its just been to quiet for something not to be going down in ghost world."
Tucker was right it had been quiet in Amity Park for a while. There hadn't been one ghost making fuss for two months. Now this, but there was something irking Danny. This just didn't seem like a local job.
"I don't think its Ember. It's not her style; she's a hypnotist, why would she want to fry your brain when she can control it?
"Good point, but if its not ember, who is it?"
"I don't know but I'm sure we'll find out I'm giving you the rest of the day off, go home and rest I'll call and see what's up."
"Thanks, but what about you."
"I'm going to stay at the office and work more on this new entity." The truth was Danny didn't want to go home to his empty high rise.
The road of love had been hard on him. After Valerie left he was alone for a while but he and Sam began to grow together. They started going out the end of their freshman year of college. It had been great for a while but they began to grow apart. They had little in common and began to grow apart. They decided to break it off to save what remained of their friendship.
Afterwards she started seeing Dash who had reinvented himself as an artist after getting in a fight over somebody else's girlfriend and permanently damaging his throwing arm, ruining his chance at football stardom. His paintings were actually pretty good considering his main muse of pain was not being rich and famous. Despite such shallowness, he and Sam were engaged and slowly approaching the big day. Danny was happy for them, he was still her friend and happy she had found her soul mate. Danny on the other hand was still searching.
His search had lead to Paullina who had desperately wanted him since she found out he was Danny Phantom. There relationship was shallow and mostly there for the sake of being. He learned to hate her pettiness and materialistic ways. She was trapped in a fairy tale. Danny eventually broke it off, much to her displeasure, but every once in a while would call her during a haplessly lonely night. He would not make this night one of those.
"Alright, whatever. Just be careful don't stay up too late." Tucker said breaking his thoughts.
"I'll try not to Mom" Danny said mockingly, helping his friend up.
"Oh ha, ha, very funny. Its all jokes with the halfa huh, InvisoBill." Tucker fired at him.
Danny gave him an evil glare but laughed it off and walked him to the elevator. He ignored the stares, just not remembering he was covered in blood, and went into his office. He was glad his office came with a bathroom and went in to clean up. He came back and pulled a change of clothes out of his desk. Underneath them he found a book titled Poem of the Painful Soul by Sam Manson. Danny laughed he had had it for weeks but had yet opened it up to read. Since it was late in the day he decided to check it out. He didn't get past the third poem; he fell asleep on his desk. He guessed the EVP had a delayed affect on him.
He dreamed he was back in his old high school in the middle of the night. All of a sudden a girl who seemed glow in the dark appeared before, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Then, she lunged at him with huge talons. He quickly became Phantom, but she stopped.
"Good, you can hear me."
Danny woke up sweating and a little bit frightened. He knew what do. He went to the monitoring room and turned into Danny Phantom. He turned the volume down and put on a pair of headsets. He played the EVP.
"Mr. Fenton it seems you have found the secret lets just hope it wasn't done to late. We are taking Amity Park under our control. Since receiving this message you have 5 days to get us what we want or we will suffocate all in Amity Park and whoever else in a two-mile radius. It will be like Pompeii without the volcano and lava."
"What do you want?" Danny asked fiercely.
Almost as if on cue it responded, "We want the one called Valerie Gray."
Danny sat back in shock. Does anybody know where she really is? Would she even come? He was at a loss for words but picked up his cell phone to call in a favor a major favor.
"Hello"
"Dr. Gray? Its Danny."
I hope you like the second chapter. I made it longer and there's more dialogue. For those of you don't know what an EVP is, its an Electronic Voice Phenomena, very freaky to listen to. Ever since "Fanning the Flames" I've though about Sam and Dash, but don't worry she'll come back later in the story. This chapter is dedicated to Sherrie Travis, love you cuz. Okay people review me.
More smooches.
