Trapped
Chapter 7: Meanwhile
Previously
"Oh great...so not only are we stuck here, but we don't have ANY power at all!...'Star shouted and she sent him a dirty look.
"Why are you acting like this is my fault?!..."Danny shouted, not liking the glare she sent, since he could see it with his flashlight.
"Maybe...because IT IS!...'Star shouted.
"If my memory serves me, you were the one who locked me in the girls bathroom...which I am still unnerved about and you wouldn't let me go...that was your doing!...'Danny pointed at her and Star growled.
"If you had just answered my questions..."
"I DID!..."
"TRUTHFULLY!..."
"I AM NOT A LIAR!..."
"UGH!
Danny and Star were in the middle of their argument, feeling so angry, tried, stressed and even perturbed. Blue eyes were glaring into blue eyes, as their tempers were still volatile and both clearly still blamed the other for this whole predicament.
"Bossy loudmouth..."Danny thought.
"Liar.."Star thought as she continued to glare at him.
Unknown to the two, distressed teenagers, while the school was quiet, they were not alone.
Just outside of the school, a pair of red eyes were watching them them from from a window...far away as to not be noticed by Danny and they also had a smug gleam in them.
"This is getting more and more interesting...'The figure said before vanishing from the spot.
Meanwhile
While Danny and Star were at each other's throats, Sam Manson was on her way to Fenton Works, she just spent the last hour and a half of her life trying not to bash her head against the table while she did her project "with Kwan", who spent half the time on Planet Football or whatever it is that substandard thought of jocks go.
Thankfully, unlike Dale or Dash, Kwan at the very least tried to do his end of the work but he just...he just...UGH!
"I swear, it's only for the school's favoritism towards jocks that he even managed to make it this far..."Sam muttered, referring to Kwan's less than adequate academic skills.
At the very least the assignment is finished and all they have to do is memorize it.
"Ugh, now I know what Jazz meant when she said jocks were untutorable..."Sam muttered as her phone started to ring.
She saw that it was Tucker.
"Hey Tuck..."Sam answered.
"Hey Sam...finished the project with Mikey about an hour ago, you?..."Tucker asked.
"Yeah, got it done...miraculously..."Sam muttered, still sore about the whole thing.
"That's cool, anyway, it's Friday night, which means video game match at Danny's..."Tucker said over the phone.
"I'm on my way right now...'Sam said with a smile before hanging up.
After an afternoon like this, a few hours of beating her friends in the world of video games sounds about good right now.
Later
Sam arrived to Fenton Works around the same time that Tucker did, they both noticed that the Fenton RV wasn't around, which means Danny's folks are probably out, and since the lights are still on, Danny and Jazz are still home.
They knocked on the door and in about a few minutes, Jazz opened the door.
"Hey Jazz...'Sam greeted, while Tucker waved.
"Hey Sam...Tucker, mom and dad just left to go chase after the Box Ghost...so, what brings you guys here?..."Jazz asked.
"Duh, we always play video games with Danny on Friday night...'Tucker said and Jazz blinked.
"Speaking of which... Where is he?...'Sam asked, noticing that he still hasn't come to the door yet.
"Danny's not home...I thought he was with you guys..."Jazz said and Sam's blinked in confusion.
"Really? That's weird...'Sam said as she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.
To her surprise, there was no answer.
"Okay, double weird..."Sam said after she called once more, while Jazz called as well, but also got no answered.
"Okay, triple weird...'Jazz said, feeling her worried sister instincts start kicking in.
"Hmm...maybe a ghost happened or he is still doing the assignment with Star?...'Tucker suggested.
"The former, probably...the latter, unlikely...It's already seven and the school library is closed..."Sam said, since she knew it was unlikely that Danny could still be doing homework with Star.
"It's not like Danny not to answer, maybe he lost his phone or it just ran out of power..."Jazz theorized, trying to calm herself down but with little luck.
'What time is it?...'Sam asked and Tucker pulled out his PDA to check the time.
"7:15 PM...why?..."Tucker said.
"Okay, in order to not freak out, in case there is something...we call again in 15 minutes and if he doesn't answer, we start to worry..."Sam suggested and Jazz blinked and Tucker shrugged.
15 minutes later
15 minutes have passed, the three of them each tried to call Danny and each one was met with zero reply.
"Okay, now we can start to worry..."Sam said.
"Oh man...where is he? What happened?..."Jazz asked, freaking out.
"Calm down you two, let's not panic...look, let's just go look for him before it gets too late...Jazz, get the Boo-merang..."Tucker suggested.
"I can't, dad took it to chase after the Box Ghost..."Jazz said and Sam dragged her hand down her face in aggravation.
"Oh please...who would want to go to that much trouble to find him..." Sam muttered.
"Let's just go start searching...let's all brings some weapons and a spare thermos, just in case one of his enemies are up to their old tricks again..."Jazz suggested and the others nodded.
They went to get the Specter Deflectors, Fenton Wrist rays, spare Fenton Thermoses and whatever else they could find.
You can never be too careful and they knew that if it involves Danny, you have to be prepared for anything and everything.
Outside
"Okay, here's the plan...Jazz, you go check down town, starting with the mall...Tucker you check the North and east side of town, starting with the Nasty Burger...I'll check the docks and the west side of town...we'll all call each other in one hour and if anything funny goes down, you know what to do...'Sam ordered and the other two nodded.
The remaining members of Team Phantom then went to split up to go find their missing brother/friend.
Wherever he is...
