Chapter 8: The Plan

Finally, when Danny finished off, as it turned out, Skulker, he returned home and found his friends in the kitchen. He smiled. "Hey guys, sorry it took so long."

"Its ok." Tucker chirped. "So what're we going to do for lunch?"

"Lunch?" Danny's head whipped towards the clock to gape at the one thirty staring back at him. "Oh man, Vlad was expecting us back for lunch!"

"So," Sam instantly replied. "Its just your ene-" She stopped when Danny glared at her. Then she snuffed. "Well he is, and besides, what about the plan?" She whispered the last part as she walked over to him.

Danny just shook his head. "Its too early for that. I need him to trust me for now." Then he turned to Nathaniel. "Come on, Nate. We're a little late, but we shouldn't keep Vlad waiting too much longer."

Nathaniel stood up and walked over, obviously ready to go home. Danny nodded and took the boy's hand. "Ok, let's hurry."

They all went back outside. Sam frowned as he followed Tucker outside. Danny scooped up Nathaniel and went ghost. He shot up into the air, disappearing after a moment into the horizon.

Tucker crossed his arms as he looked over to Sam. "Ok, seriously, what's wrong?"

"Well..." She sighed and proceeded to explain the plan, amoung other things, to him. He listened intently as they walked off in the opposite direction.
