Jack's eyes fluttered open. He looked around the apartment and saw that it was trashed. He saw his wife lying lifeless on the floor. He sprung to his feet and checked her vital signs. Her breathing was shallow, she was responsive, her pulse was barely noticeable, her blood pressure was low, and her heartbeat was getting slower by the minute. Jack ran to the phone and called 911. This was the second time that he had to call the emergency hotline. The ambulance arrived within ten minutes. The paramedics loaded her onto the stretcher and carried her into the back of the wailing vehicle. Jack drove to Fenton Works to pick up Jazz. When Jack got Jazz he explained everything that happened. They headed to the hospital to see how Maddie was doing.
"Dad, where's Danny?" Jazz asked with a hint of fear in her voice. Jack didn't answer, so Jazz looked at him. He looked worried.
"I don't know, honey." Jazz started to freak out. Danny was out in the world somewhere probably attacking someone else. He could also come back for her and that thought scared her.
"Do you know where Danny Phantom is?"
"No" Jack said quietly. They arrived at the hospital and walked to the Nurse's Station. They asked for Maddie Fenton and got her room number. She just finished getting surgery done. The doctors had to stich up her stomach, remove her spleen, and close the gash. She had to get two pints of blood too. She was now in the ICU. The doctors said that she had to stay for two weeks before she could leave and go home. When Jack and Jazz walked into the room, she was still sleeping for the drugs they gave her. They sat down and waited for her to wake up. Maddie opened her eyes and squinted from the lights. She felt groggy and numb all over.
"What's going on?" Maddie said sitting up. Jack jumped up from his seat and scrambled over to his wife grabbing her hand.
"Phantom shot you in the abdomen and it broke your skin open" Jack explained. "We knew he was evil." Jack smiled obviously proud of himself.
"That's great Jack, but we need to figure out how the people Phantom is hurting are related. Let's see you, me, Jazz, and Danny all fight ghosts together. Sam and Tucker help Danny when he goes out sometimes, so they could count as ghost hunters. And Paulina and Dash only know a little bit about the ghost kid, I think. Maybe we are all related because of ghost information, so Phantom keeps attacking people with that kind of information. Does anyone else know any ghost information?" Maddie thought out.
"Well sure, Vladdy does" Jack said thinking about his college buddy.
"He might be Phantom's next victim then" Maddie figured.
"I should check on him then. I'll go now since we don't know where Phantom is. He could be attacking him now for all we know" Jack said quickly while running out the door leaving Maddie and Jazz in the ICU. Jack started down the road in the Fenton RV to the town hall, where Vlad should be at this time. Jack burst through the doors and headed down to Vlad's office. Jack knocked on the door and a voice on the other side said to come in. Jack opened the door and saw Vlad filling out papers on his desk.
"What do you want, Jack?" Vlad said annoyed.
"How'd you know it was me?" Jack said astounded. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Never mind that, Maddie and I think that Danny Phantom is going to attack you next. We discussed about it in the hospital."
"The hospital?" Vlad asked shocked.
"Yeah, Maddie just had surgery there and woke up about ten minutes ago" Jack explained.
"Is she ok? How did she get put in there?" Vlad said obviously worried about the love of his life.
"I put her in there, and she was supposed to bleed to death" Danny said annoyed appearing in front of the two men. "Why won't anybody die in this place?" he mumbled under his breath so that nobody could hear. "Maybe I should just kill the next person on the spot" he thought out loud.
"Daniel, how could you do such a thing?" Vlad said in shock from hearing that Danny would hurt his own mother.
"It's because he's a ghost" Jack accused. Danny flew over to his dad and picked him up, throwing him out the window. Jack was again knocked unconscious from impact with the concrete. Vlad watched in horror as Jack was thrown out the window like he weighed nothing. Daniel had gotten really powerful, really fast from their last encounter. Vlad changed into Vlad Plasmius and jumped into the air floating.
"What do you think you're doing, Daniel?" Vlad hissed.
"Giving everybody the treatment they deserve" Danny growled.
"What's wrong with your outfit?" Vlad asked looking at Danny from head to toe.
"Do you like it? It shows off my darker more evil side" Danny said. After he answered, Danny let out a ghostly wail. Vlad made a pink shield, but it broke on impact from the energy being given off. Vlad was thrown against the wall. He started to change back, but Danny stopped so he couldn't. Vlad fell to the floor onto his hands and knees. Danny pulled something out from behind his back. Vlad looked up to see a Fenton Thermos in Daniel's hand. Before he could react, Vlad was sucked up into the device.
"Let me out" Vlad banged against the walls of the Thermos.
"In your dreams you crazy fruit loop. You get to stay in there forever and ever and ever" Danny said shaking the Thermos violently. Danny turned intangible and flew through the roof and into the sky. Jack woke up outside the window. He looked through it and saw that Vlad and Phantom were gone. He failed Vlad. He drove back to the hospital and went back to Maddie's room. The nurse was giving her a shot. Jazz was asleep on a chair. Jack walked up to the nurse and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped under his touch then turned around.
"May I have some bandages and some of this glass removed from my cuts?" Jack asked. The nurse nodded and scurried out of the room. Jack looked like he had been attacked by a cat. A few minutes later, the nurse returned with some tweezers, cream, and bandages. She treated Jack then left for other work. Maddie looked at Jack and frowned.
"What happened?" She demanded to know.
"We were right about Vlad being the next victim. I was there when it happened, and I failed to protect him. The ghost kid took him away."
"So nobody else knows any ghost information that we know of" Maddie stated.
"Then who's next?" Jack wondered.
A/N: This will probably be the only mention of Vlad until the end, sorry. I sort of make this stuff up on the spot. Hope you comment on the story.
