As Grace hurried inside her apartment, a mix of many different emotions went through her body. Shock and horror that the Hitcher, Jim's killer, the man that haunted her nightmares was back! Yet a warm feeling of hope and gratitude filled her up at the thought of Danny Phantom, her savor. Then she remembered his words about calling the Fentons. Pulling herself out of her head, Grace whipped out her cell phone, looked up the number for Fenton works and dialed it. A few seconds later, she was greeted by a cheerful male voice "Fenton Works, how can I help you?"

Taking a moment to clear her throat, Grace said "Hi, my name is Grace Andrews and I have a ghost problem."

"Say no more! What do you need? Do you need it destroyed?" The male voice interrupted.

"Yes, I do need it destroyed, but more importantly I need protection for my house." Grace explained.

"What kind of protection do you need? We have the Fenton works ghost shield…" the male voice explained before Grace interrupted with "Yes! That's just what the doctor ordered! How much does it cost?"

The male voice paused for a moment before he replied with "I'm afraid it's going to cost at least $5,000."

At his words, Grace thought that she would have a heart attack. There was no way she could afford the ghost shield. Still she needed help, Grace then took a deep breath and asked "How much do you change for destroying a ghost?"

"Do you have a ghost haunting your house?" The male voice questioned in an almost excited tone.

What is wrong with this guy? Grace wondered to herself, before she replied with "No, but I am being stalked by one."

"YES!" The male voice cried out, before he quickly added "I mean we'll be right over right away."

Finally! Now we're getting somewhere. Grace thought to herself as she hung up the phone.


Meanwhile across town in FentonWorks, Jack was dancing in the kitchen "Honey! Guess what? We have our very first customer!" Jack announced with joy in a sing-song voice.

"Really?" Maddie cried as she ran into the kitchen. "Who are they and what do they need?" She added as Jack gently pulled her into the dance.

"Her name is Grace Andrews and she's being stalked by a ghost." Jack explained.

"When did this start?" Maddie wondered.

At her words, Jack's face turned pale as it dawned on him that in his excitement of getting a customer, that forgot to ask her that question and get her address.

Maddie must've read the look of shock on his face, because she said "You forgot to ask, didn't you?"

Jack could only nod his head in shame.

Maddie pulled herself out of her husband's embrace and walked over towards the kitchen phone. Maddie quickly hit the redial button and waited for Grace to pick up. A few minutes later, the ghost hunter heard a feminine voice say "Hello?"

"Hi, my name is Maddie Fenton and I'm afraid that my husband forgot to ask you some questions." Maddie explained.

"Okay, what are they?" Grace wondered.

"For example, where do you live?" Maddie inquired.

"I live in an apartment called The Woodhouse and my number is 221 on the second floor." Grace explained.

"How long have you been stalked by this ghost?" Maddie asked.

"It started today, but I know this ghost he stalked me and my ...late boyfriend Jimlast spring. When he was alive." Grace explained as she fought to keep the sobs out of her voice.

On the other end, Maddie paused for a moment before she replied with "I'm so sorry for your loss." Once again Maddie became professional as she said "How did you meet him when he was alive?"

Grace went quiet for a moment before she answered "My boyfriend and I gave him a lift. Little did we know that he was a serial killer. He would've killed us if Jim hadn't managed to throw him out of our car. Sadly that wasn't the last time we saw him. He started to stalk us for a couple of days, killing lots of people along the way."

As Grace paused in her story, Maddie had a sudden inkling of what happened to Grace's boyfriend and how Grace's stalker became a ghost.

That evil jerk must've killed her boyfriend! Maddie realized with horror. Then the scientist pulled herself out of her thoughts as she said "If you don't mind asking, how did he die?"

Grace paused for a moment she answered "The police killed him. I thought that was the end of it, but now he's back and he's coming for me."

As Maddie listened to the hidden fear in the young woman's voice, the scientist asked "What's the best time for us to meet you?"

"Right now." Grace replied.

"We'll be there as soon as we can." Maddie promised as she hung up the phone, she and Jack gathered up an assortment of anti-ghost weapons, before they hurried over towards Grace's apartment building.

As Danny watched them drive away, he couldn't help but feel that he should head over to Grace's place. At once, the 14 year old ran into the living, transformed into his ghost self and flew through the door.


Meanwhile, back in Grace's apartment, the young woman watched tv as she waited for the Fentons to arrive. Playing on tv at the moment was an old horror that she and Jim used to watch together. In spite of her current situation, Grace couldn't help but smile as the main heroine made a dumb decision.

Turn around! He's right behind you! Grace thought to herself with frustration.

Then, without warning, Grace suddenly a frightening chill come over her.

At once, a sense of dread appeared in her stomach.

Oh no! Please don't let it be who so think it is. The young college aged girl thought to herself with horror.

A few seconds later as if in response to her thoughts, a famed photo suddenly flew at her. Grace quickly ducked as the photo went right at her head.

"Very good, you're just as clever as I remembered you to be." Spoke an all too familiar voice that sent a chill up Grace's spine.

The young woman quickly spun around to see the Hitcher's ghost!

As the ghost of John Ryder flew towards her, Grace Andrews didn't waste a second. She quickly leaped out of the way and searched for anything that could be used as a weapon. Sadly, Ryder's ghost caught on to what she was doing and quickly flew at his enemy with intent to attack her.

However, before he could reach the young woman, a young cocky voice called out "Hey! Get away from her!

Ryder barely turned around when he was suddenly blasted into the wall. Ryder turned around to see the famous halfa himself floating mid-air before turning around to help Grace to her feet.

"Are you o…" Danny started to say, but Grace interrupted with "Look out!"

Danny quickly formed a shield around himself as Ryder attacked him.

"Don't interfere, you little fool!" The murderous ghost hissed.

"Sorry, can't do that." Danny replied before he fired another ecto blast at Ryder.

As Ryder turned invisible, Danny whipped out the Fenton thermos and turned it on in Ryder's detection.

At once, it started to suck Ryder, but the murderous ghost growled "No! I won't be beaten so easily!"

With that, he quickly flew away from the detection of the Thermos and went right behind Danny and snapped him in the back.

The hero of Amity Park fell to the ground with a loud cry of pain.

From her spot, Grace looked terrified. If Ryder can beat Danny Phantom...no don't think like that. You beat him once before and you can beat him again. She thought to herself.

At once, Grace pulled herself out of her head and hurried over towards Danny.

"Are you okay?" The young woman asked as she helped the ghost boy to his feet.

"I'm fine." Danny insisted.

"Nether of you will be for long!" Ryder hissed as he lunged at them.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Danny pushed Grace behind him and unleashed his ghostly wail upon the Hitcher's ghost.

Ryder was forced against the wall by Danny's wail as it destroyed most of Grace's apartment. Try as he might, Ryder could not resist the force of the wail. Danny continued to wail until Ryder had passed out. Feeling drained, Danny collapsed on the floor as he transformed back into his human self.

"Are you okay?" Grace once again asked Danny.

"Take this, Take off the cover, press the button and point it at him!" Danny ordered.

Grace did as he said and Ryder was sucked into the Thermos.

"What does this mean?" The young woman asked the halfa.

"That your nightmare is over and please don't tell anyone about me." Danny pleaded.

"I don't mean to be rude, but what are you anyway?" Grace asked.

"You're not scared of me? You don't think I'm evil?" Danny wondered with both disbelief and hope.

"No, you saved my life and I've seen true evil within my still growing life." Grace replied.

If only the rest of Amity Park were just like you, Sam, Tucker and Jazz. Especially my parents. Danny thought to himself.

Then Grace pulled him out of his thoughts with "How did you get like this?" "If you don't mind me asking?" She added hastily.

"I don't mind, just as long as you don't tell anyone." Danny replied before he began his story with "You already know my parents are ghost hunters, well awhile ago they invented a ghost portal to study the ghost zone better, but when it didn't work. They just gave up and didn't bother to fix it. Then my friend Sam convinced to take a look inside. I did and I must've hit the on Button by mistake, because I got snapped and I passed out. When I came to, I discovered that I somehow became half ghost and got ghost powers to go along with it."

Holy cow! An astonished Grace thought to herself in amazement.

A few minutes later, Grace was suddenly brought out of her thoughts as she suddenly heard the sound of a car approaching her apartment.

"The Fetions/Mom and Dad!" Both Grace and Danny cried out at once. They quickly turned towards each other, before Grace helped the 14 year boy to his feet and hid him in the closet.

"What are you doing?!" Danny wondered.

"We can't have your parents see you here, can we? It would raise to many questions." Gracie pointed out.

Danny could only sigh in agreement as Grace closed the closet door.


Sometime later after Grace was able to buy ghost protection stuff for her apartment, Danny was let out of the closet and hurried on his way home with the Thermos.

As soon as he got home, Danny hurried into the basement and released Ryder's ghost into the ghost zone, thinking that would be the end of it. However he was sadly mistaken.
