Dredd2012: He is indeed. I always pictured Walker as someone who as a tragic loss in his human life and is now trying to prevent it with all his might.
ElealehBlue: And both will be in a few other chapters together. Cujo is still searching his favorite chewing toy.

Cujo is searching his toy so the next few chapters, will be holding content of the episodes Shades of Gray and Prisoners of Love.
Chapter 3: Searching a Toy part 1
"Cujo heel!", shouted Danny as he looked for the green Dog, he'd found over a month ago.
"Come on! That is not funny! Cujo!", he yelled earning raised eyebrows from some prisoners and guards.
"Danny, you know shouting is no solution for everything?", one of the guards called from his spot, while observing the yard.
"But Cujo. He is gone. Can't find him"
The guard looked down. What should he do. He could somehow understand the child. The dog was his responsibility and Walker was very strict, with his son and the responsibility's he had.
"You'll find him. Cujo is surly just playing a small round of hide-and-seek. Have you looked all over the jail? He sure has some favorite places."
"No", Danny stated looking up.
"Then go search him and remember stay away from the high security cells. There are the bad guys imprisoned.
"I do! Promise!", the boy chirped turning around dashing of towards the main entrance.
"Running in the prison halls is against the rules unless it's an emergency!", the guard called after the boy that slowed down.
"Cujo!", the name of the dog echoed through the prison halls, while some of the prisoners
approached the cells looking at the boy.
"Hey! Whelp your dog disappeared?", asked Skulker with a big grin.
"To bad I didn't get it. It would be a good pelt. But when I look at you. You are a much better price for me. In your human form? Quite unique. It would be an honor for you to serve as pelt for me. But you still need to grow you wouldn't even fit as a blanket."
Danny jumped back, eyeing the mechanical and older ghost fearfully.
"Oh, is the whelp a scaredy-cat?", Skulker grind while watching the young ghost stepping backwards.
Danny wasn't even near the high security cells and already scarred for life. So, he turned around and fled the hall silently crying. He only stopped, after he bumped into someone. Looking up he saw his father.
"What up little punk?", he asked observing his son face.
"T- the h-hu-hunter g-ghost"
"You mean Skulker?", the boy nodded his head wild.
"H- he saw me looking for Cujo and s-said Cujo would make a g-good pelt. Then he told me he w-want m-my p-pelt", the boy broke down crying, while being hold tightly in his father arms. Soon barking broke the silence and Cujo floated towards the boy, snuggling to his young owner and licking his face.
"Oh, that's it. Now he crossed the line", the warden growled picking the boy up.
"Hey little punk. Want to see how your old man handles such a moron." Danny gazed in to his fathers face and watched as his dad floated down the hall towards Skulkers cell.
"Well if that isn't the whelp and the warden"
"Skulker! I told you not to cross any lines and today you crossed one, by threatening my son!"
"Your son? You adopted him! He is also part human. Why bothering with such a weakling?"
"Enough! Now you must bear the consequences. A month of isolation will change your attitude for sure Skulker."
"A month isolation? That's easy for me. I'm the greatest hunter in the Ghost Zone. I can handle a month all alone", the hunter said confident.
As if on command, Cujo snarled, jumped down and turned into his giant form, staring down on the hunter.
"Now that's what I call a worthy pelt", Skulker answered before he jumped side ward, to avoid a giant green paw, that lunged for him. He could hear Cujo growl loudly, while trying to enter the cell.
Walker opened the cell door with an evil smirk on his face and Cujo dashed inside attacking the ghost. Danny smiled weakly observing the scene before him. The guard dog, destroyed the suit and showing everyone that the greatest hunter was nothing more than a tiny green blob, with a high-pitched voice.
"You see, as long as he is wearing his suit he as a big mouth, that can intimidate everyone but that is his true form. Just a weak little ghost. Like Boxy. On first sight scary, but when you know the truth harmless."
"Let me go!", squealed Skulker, kicking with his arms and legs around only to feel Danny gripping him and tugging on him.
"Danny, stop it. That's not nice!", Walker interrupted his son, that seems to enjoy himself and let go of the smaller ghost instantly.
Danny turned his gaze towards his daddy. He, never saw him that angered or at least that often.
"Hey whelp!", the green ghost started.
"What is it Skulker?", Walker asked.
"Ever tried the kennel?"
"Kennel?", confusion was in the warden voice.
"Yes kennel. Didn't you know that Axion Industry had a kennel to keep the dogs?"
"I must admit, I never considered it."
Danny started to move on his daddy arms. His head falling to the wardens' shoulders and eyes closing slowly. But fighting against the sleep he forced them to stay open. But it was futile. The boy finding a comfy position soon fell asleep and started to snore a bit.
"Skulker I have something to offer for you", Walker begun looking at Skulker, that was still in Cujos muzzle.
"What?", the hunter asked.
"You help me find whatever Cujo is searching and there for I let you go for now. As long, as you are staying away from my son"
"And when I refuse?"
"Then you will definitely end in isolation"
"Fine for now I take the offer", the small green ghost growled and looked at the sleeping ghost child.
"Good"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Axion Industry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now Skulker, lead the way to the kennel", one of the guards said while gliding intangibly trough the walls, pausing when they heard a voice.
"Titanium doors, retina scanner for access portals, digital surveillance, laser systems. As promised, this is the most secure facility in the united states." Damon Gray explained, while walking down the corridors.
The boss of Axion Industry behind him, and being satisfied.
"You can call me the raiser of your fee", he stated.
"What means, I can replace this top", exclaimed a girl not much older than Danny.
"It's good to know these smelly security dogs are past."
All flinched as loud parking erupted, and one of the doors was demolished, by a giant green dog, that ran past them.
"Cujo! Heel!", one of three figures jelled, while chasing after the dog, that started to run havoc.
"Bad dog" Slow down", the guards, jelled, while grabbing the collar only to be dragged along. Not even the missiles from Skulker stopped the beast.
Damon activated the security system, only to witness a failure, while being captured in a net. Cujo had turned himself and the ghosts holding on his collar intangible, so they passed it.
"I'm fired, am I?", Damon asked.
"You're not just fired, you are ruined."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ghost Zone Prison~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, the boss of Axion has indeed, put all his guard dogs down?", Walker wanted to know while observing his guards, the hunter and the dog.
The now puppy size dog was next to Danny sleeping in peace after the exhaustion from the search. The small boy turned around and kicking his blanket of himself, while whimpering and murmuring something, before starting to cry out loud, waking the puppy dog up. Immediately Walker picked the boy up, calming him. Then he asked about the dream and listened closely.
"I see my boy. Well that wasn't just a dream", Walker begun.
"It wasn't?"
"No. It is kind of difficult to explain. Well you know, I took you in, when you were not even a year old?", Danny nodded.
"I also told you that you maybe one day can visit your human parents?"
"Yes daddy"
"Well the reason I took you in the first place is to save you from them."
"Save me? Why?"
"You know you only half-ghost, right?"
"I know daddy. But what do you mean?"
"The reason you are a half-ghost is, that you were exposed to ectoplasmic energy, when a portal, started to work. That was in the basement of your parents' house. Two of my guards and I were passing by the portal, when we heard you wailing. Your human parents tried to run some tests or experiments on you in the attempt to separate you from the ectoplasmic energy running through your body. But the most horrible words I ever heard were the words your human mother was saying."
"What she said?"
"To be precisely she said", Walker paused a moment, focusing on the words then he spoke the words that Maddie once used. "This hurts me more than you."
The child stared with eyes the size of the moon towards his father and even Skulker had fallen silent, hearing the story of the small whelp he threatened hours ago.
"Why is that horrible?", wanted the child to know
"It is a lie that parents use to do things to their children that are painful und make the children believe that the parents are far more hurt, through the action. But it isn't like the parents said. The children are more hurt, then their parents, because the parents don't feel the pain at all just the child feels it."
He pulled the boy closer, stroking the white hair trying to calm him from this upsetting revealing of the truth.
/So, he really was just a guinea pig for his parents after he was hit with ectoplasmic energy from the Ghost Zone./ Skulker thought to himself.
