Your Call
The HAGM, human anti-ghost military, formerly the GIW, glided the ghost control vehicle into the school's parking lot.
Operative O clambered out of the door, annoyed. "Every time the Box Ghost shows up, Stanley calls to say that there's something weird. I could be developing weapons about now, instead of coming to scare of the lamest ghost on the planet." he complained to himself, making his way to the school.
Slamming the grey security door behind him, he snapped, "Well Stanley, where's that ghost?"
Stan pointed to a screen that was replaying Daniel Fenton's GIST I pretest. O watched for a second. "Kid's good for someone in his circumstances. Why did you call me over for this?"
"Look closer, sir. He's not dodging the water; it's going through him, it's weird, dude." O stared at the screen. The water was going through the teen.
"You could be onto something. I'll get reinforcements. You tell Lancer that Fenton's a ghost. You're getting a raise for this."
Stan smiled, and left his office. He took his time getting to Lancer classroom. When he walked in, Lancer was telling
Danny that with his test score, he'd be able to make it into a higher class.
"Uh, Mr. Lancer?" Stan interrupted.
Lancer glanced sideways at him. "What is it now, Stanley?"
Stan pointed at Danny. "That student right there, O found out he's a ghost."
Danny's eyes went wide.
"That's Mister O to you," Lancer corrected. "and yes, I will be calling his mother."
Stan left, not wanting to stick around with the ghost in the room any longer than he had to.
"You really should have been more careful, Daniel," he sighed. "Unfortunately, we'll just get killed by helping you, even then, you'd still end up in the HAGM lab. I suggest you run while I'm calling your mom."
Maddie answered the phone. "Hello?" she asked.
"Hello, Mrs. Fenton, this is Mr. Lancer."
"How's Danny doing?"
"Not good, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you."
Maddie's heart froze. "What happened?"
"The school security officer caught him using his powers."
"Wait a minute, so they know he's a ghost?"
"Exactly, just when we thought he could keep it secret."
Maddie swallowed her tears to reply. "Thank you, Mr. Lancer, you've been helpful."
She hung up the phone and let her tears out. "Danny," she whispered softly. "Why did this have to happen so soon?"
