Chapter III: The Reply
Sam
"You think this Mick St. John can find Danny," Danny's mom asks as I explain to her what happened to her.
"He's the best there is, trust me," I say as we hear a knock on the door. Maybe it is Danny, my heart pounds with anxiety as Mrs. Fenton goes to the door.
"Hello?" she asks as Danielle appears from the doorway.
"Who are you?" she asks curious as to why the girl in front of her bears a resemblance to her son.
"Uh…Mrs. Fenton this is Danni, she's Danny's cousin," I tell her hoping that she would believe it.
"Cousin? I don't remember Alicia having a child; it must be on Jack's side of the family. Please come in sweetie," she says buying the story. "What brings you here," she asks as she leads her to the living room.
"I was in the neighborhood and decided to visit my cousin, is he home," she asks us.
"You better sit down, sweetie," she tells Danielle as she sits on the floor worriedly. "Danny's gone missing, we don't know where he is, but Sam has called a detective to come looking for him," she tells the young girl.
"That's terrible," Danielle says, "I hope this detective can find him," she continues as a tear rolls down her face.
"Don't worry, Mick St. John is the best and he just accepted our case," I say showing her the email from the dectective:
Sam Manson,
I have received your email and I have decided to take the case. There is no need to pay for the expenses as I shall pay for them. Expect to see me tomorrow night at 11pm
Sincerely,
Mick St. John
"Well we better get to sleep then if we are to me Mr. St. John tomorrow night. Danielle you can sleep in Danny's room if you like," Mrs. Fenton tells her as she leads her to his room.
"I guess we get the living room," I tell Tucker as I get on the couch and pull a blanket over me, "Good night," I tell him as I close my eyes and dream of Danny returning safe and sound.
Mick
"What can I do for you Mick," my friend, Guillermo, as I enter the morgue. Like me he is a vampire and takes blood from the dead bodies so I need not attack humans to get food.
"I need you to ship some blood to the Amity Park Blood Bank in Illinois for me," I tell him as he finishes drawing some blood from a corpse.
"You going on vacation," he asks laughing.
"No, I'm on a case a boy named Danny Fenton has gone missing and foul play is suspected. So, I need some nourishment sent there," I tell him as he hands me a bag of blood.
"Ghost Capital, USA," he says jokingly, "It must be Halloween if a vampire is going to ghost city," he says as he prepares the order for me.
"You don't believe in ghosts do you," I ask Guillermo curiously, it seems everyone who has heard of the town seems to associate it with ghosts.
"Me, no, but everyone seems to think it's haunted," he says as he hands me a piece of paper, "good luck on the case, Dr. Johnson," he says as I leave to get ready for the trip.
Vlad
"Daniel seems to be quiet tonight," I said as I looked out the window of mansion, "I wonder what he could be up to," I asked as I went back inside as it was time to feed Maddie again.
I went into the kitchen and poured a can of Mr. Meow's Mackerel Surprise into her dish and went to my computer and logged into the internet.
"Well it seems I have mail," I said as I read my emails and smiled at the news I had just received.
Danny
"You're going to be sorry when my friends find out what happened," I spat at my captor; I still don't know where I am or what this creep is going to do me.
"I doubt it, by the time your idiot friends find out what happened you'll be gone, Phantom," my captor hissed as he walked back into the room. "Your parents are even worse, their so stupid they couldn't catch a cold," he said laughing.
"Very funny Mayor McFruitloop," I said thinking it was Plasmius who was my captor, my mistake.
Whoever he was, he grabbed me by the throat and held me up in the air, "DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT! I AM NOT THAT SPOILED BRAT IN A COSTUME!" he yelled as he threw me to the ground.
"If you're not Vlad or are you then?" I ask him, I'm tired of being in the dark I want know who has me and what he plans to do with me.
"Don't be so hasty, Danny," he says laughing, "soon it will be all over," he said as he walks away laughing.
Never have I been so scared in my life, I am the hostage of some weird being who is not a ghost and intends to kill me, please Sam, help me, wherever you are.
