Jazz returned home from the library about 3 o'clock and ran straight up to her bedroom while Star was in the living room smiling happily as she watched a music video, feeling great that Dani was finally gone. Jazz opened the door of her bedroom and said, "Hey Dani I got a new book from the library I think you might like"

But she found that Dani was not even in her room and started looking around the house as she came downstairs and called out to Star, "Hey Star help me find Dani please"

Star turned off the TV and said with a smirk, "Oh where could she be?"

She lazily walked up to the fish tank and said, "She's not in here"

As Jazz continued to look around Star headed for the kitchen still smirking knowing exactly where Dani was. As Jazz looked around the front room she found there was a note stuck in the mail slot and pulled it out and started reading it.

Dear Mr Very Rich Adopted parent of Danielle….

As Jazz continued reading the letter Star went into Dani's new room and saw a doll that Jazz had gotten her and picked it up, she then walked over to the rubbish bin and threw it in there silently laughing happily.

Jazz finished reading the note, "And if you don't bring the money, you'll never see Danielle again"

Jazz gasped in fear and horror. Jazz then saw Star walk in and ran up and pulled her into a hug and said as tears fell from her eyes, "Star! They've kidnapped Dani!"

Star hugged Jazz back and pretended to cry but when really she was snickering. Jazz however believed she was crying and said, "Oh Star. I love her too but don't worry, we're gonna get her back"

As soon as Star heard that she gasped in shock at the thought of Dani coming back.


That afternoon Ghostwriter, Dani and Danny were at Vlad's shipping company office. Ghostwriter then rehearsed what he was going to say to Vlad, "Here is the new plan Vlad. It's simple, I ransom Danielle and you get paid in full tomorrow. I'll even toss in a little extra for your patience. It's my final offer, take it or leave it?"

"Sounds good Ghostwriter. Do you think he'll agree to it?" Danny asked.

"Well I can only hope" Ghostwriter said. He looked down at Dani and said, "I'm really sorry about this Danielle"

"Please Ghostwriter. Isn't there any other way?" Dani asked.

Ghostwriter sighed, "I wish there was sweetie. I really do"

He then pulled out what looked like a wristband and placed it on her wrist and said, "This is gonna keep you in your human form. It cancels out your powers. I have to make it look like I really kidnapped you"

Dani looked at Danny and then looked down in sadness as she and he followed Ghostwriter to the front door. Dani then said, "Danny I'm really sorry but please know that all you guys are my friends and that I forgive you all for what you're about to do"

Danny said nothing as Ghostwriter pushed the doorbell and then Vlad's voice shouted through the intercom, "Who is it?!"

Ghostwriter jumped and saw that the video camera was now pointing at them. On the other side of the camera Vlad saw it was Ghostwriter and said, "Ah Ghostwriter welcome! Come right on in. Just push the door"

Ghostwriter at first tried to pull the door open but it wouldn't budge but then Vlad repeated, "I said push"

Ghostwriter pushed the door as Vlad pushed the button and it opened, they all walked inside onto the open elevator and held on as they went down a few levels. They walked up to the office doors and saw Vlad was talking on the phone.

He looked at them and smiled as he said, "Ah Ghostwriter come on in. I'll be right with you"

Danny, Dani and Ghostwriter came in. Dani stuck closely behind Ghostwriter feeling frightened while Danny remained on his guard in the front just in case Vlad was up to something. The only thing that kept the room lit was a single light from the ceiling making it look like it was an interrogation room in a police station or something.

Vlad then hung up the phone hard making all of Ghostwriter's confidence drop in a mere three seconds flat. Vlad then said, "Ghostwriter did we bring something green and wrinkly to make me happy?'

"Vlad I got an airtight Danielle….plan…plan!" Ghostwriter said nervously. "It's sweet and simple. The plan it's…."

Vlad groaned and made a signal with his hands. Skulker and Fright Knight entered the room and started circling them all with weapons in their hands, Danny stood ready to defend Ghostwriter and Danielle as he knew something was up.

Ghostwriter bought Danielle closer to him as Vlad suddenly stood up and said simply making them both frightened, "Ghostwriter…You don't got the money"

He snapped his fingers and suddenly Fright Knight and Skulker charged right at Ghostwriter and Danielle ready to kill them until Danny changed into his ghost form and took both of them on by himself as Ghostwriter tried to talk to Vlad.

"OH NO! PLEASE VLAD! YOUR MONEY WILL BE HERE TONIGHT!" Ghostwriter pleaded as Fright Knight punched Danny into the floor.

Danny staggered and got back up sending ecto-blasts at Fright Knight but then Skulker tackled him into the ground and started electrocuting Danny hard as Ghostwriter continued, "THE MONEY'S COMING FROM A RICH GIRL….NO I MEAN A GIRL FROM A RICH FAMILY! THEY'RE COMING TONIGHT WITH THE MONEY I OWE YOU TO GET THE GIRL BACK!"

Vlad suddenly grinned and snapped his fingers again and suddenly Danny yelped as Skulker gave Danny a cut on the arm with a dagger and threw him to the floor. Feeling very weak Danny fell unconscious and changed back into his human form. Ghostwriter gasped and kneeled beside Danny, he pulled off his scarf and wrapped it around Danny's cut, it wasn't deep but it was bleeding causing him to wince as he wrapped the cloth around it.

Vlad chuckled as he looked down at Danielle and ruffled her hair a little. Danielle whimpered in fear and then walked over to Ghostwriter and Danny, tears fell from her eyes as she saw the condition Danny was in.

"There's hope for you yet Ghostwriter. I'm proud of you, you're starting to think big" Vlad said as Ghostwriter gently laid Danny's head on his jacket. "You've got twelve hours. Oh and Ghostwriter?"

Ghostwriter looked up at Vlad giving him a slight glare as Vlad finished with a sickening grin, "This is your last chance"


It was 9:30 at night and Jazz and Star were walking around the docks heading for the location that Ghostwriter had given them and although it was a very good map he had drawn for them, they thought they were a little lost.

"Star I think we're lost" Jazz said as she looked at the map. "Stay close. This looks like a rough neighbourhood"

"Jazz don't you think we should just call Lancer?" Star suggested.

"No. We can handle this besides I told him we were going to the movies" Jazz said as they kept walking.

On the other side of the dock they were walking on, Ghostwriter was pacing around waiting for them to arrive. He had Dani hidden inside an old row-boat while the others waited near Ghostwriter.

Danny had woken up and had managed to heal the cut on his arm with his powers but his arm still was in pain. Sam said in concern, "Danny are you sure you're okay?"

"Don't worry Sam. They never laid a hand on me" Danny lied.

Jazz and Star walked up to Ghostwriter behind him and then Jazz asked, "Excuse me sir?"

Ghostwriter jumped in fright and got tangled up in some ropes as he exclaimed, "ITS THE FBI! I DIDN'T DO IT! I WAS FRAMED!"

Ghostwriter tripped over and then saw it was just Jazz and Star and calmed down. He phased the ropes off himself and said to Jazz, "Hey listen kids. This is a pretty tough neighbourhood. Maybe you better run along home"

Tucker smiled at Star romantically which made Star cringe in disgust and look away. Jazz then said, "We can't. We're a little lost"

Danielle heard the voice of Jazz and saw she was there and smiled but Ghostwriter said as he tucked her back under the cover of the boat, "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I'd help you out but I'm kind of busy right now"

He then thought of something and asked, "What are you girls doing down here anyway?"

"I came to find my adopted little sister Danielle" Jazz said as she began to cry. "Someone had kidnapped her and my parents are out of town"

"You're sister?!" Ghostwriter asked kind of shocked but managed to hide it.

As Ghostwriter and the girls continued to talk they were unaware that Vlad was watching them. Skulker and Fright Knight remained in the back seat.

"You want us to do something sir?" Skulker asked.

"No. Just wait a moment" Vlad said.

Jazz pulled out a purse with some money in it but Ghostwriter could tell it wasn't enough to pay Vlad back as she said, "I bought this money to get her back. I know it's not enough but it's all I have right now"

"That's awful" Ghostwriter said feeling bad for Jazz and himself.

"I know" Jazz said as she put the purse away. She then asked a bit angry, "I just can't believe it. What kind of person would take a poor little girl like Danielle? She's already lost her real parents and when she finally got a new family, someone took her away from it"

"I guess he must have been a poor desperate man" Ghostwriter said looking down in guilt.

"It's still wrong! I just want my little sister back" Jazz said now fully crying. Star looked down in guilt as well as she hugged Jazz. "I don't know what to do"

"Neither do I" Ghostwriter sighed and walked to the end of the boat.

He looked back at the crying Jazz while Star hugged her close as they both started heading away. Ghostwriter looked under the covers and looked at Danielle starting to cry as well. He looked back and forth between them and although knew what it could mean for him, he wasn't going to wreck Danielle's chance at finally having a family.

He smiled as he made his decision and whispered to Dani as he took off her bracelet, "I'm so sorry kid. I'm gonna set things right"

He pretended to open the cover and then exclaimed to Jazz, "Hey guess what?!"

Jazz and Star turned around as Ghostwriter helped Dani out of the boat and said as they both walked up to them, "I found a lost little girl. Is this who you've been looking for?"

Jazz and Dani smiled happily and exclaimed in unison, "DANI! / JAZZ!"

They both hugged each other tightly as Jazz said, "Oh Dani! I'm so glad I found you"

Ghostwriter smiled warmly at the sight but then heard the sound of a car engine running and saw spotlights up ahead and immediately knew who it was as he gasped, "VLAD!"

As Vlad drove up to them Vlad shot an anti-ghost net at Ghostwriter and wrapped him up in it. Ghostwriter then saw Vlad pull right up to Jazz and Dani and suddenly Fright Knight came out and grabbed her.

"HEY WHAT ARE DOING?! DON'T! NO!" Ghostwriter shouted as he saw Vlad was kidnapping Jazz!

Dani was about to change into her ghost form to stop them but Skulker electrocuted her as he shot a net which knocked her down to the ground and continued to electrocute her. Jazz screamed as she was forced inside the car, Danny and the others ran up to Dani as Vlad then drove up to Ghostwriter and said, "Keep your mouth shut about this! And consider our account closed!"

Vlad drove off as Ghostwriter continued to try and get out of the net. Danny ripped the net off Dani and asked as she weakly stood up, "Are you okay kid?"

"Jazz? He took Jazz!" Dani shouted feeling scared for her sister.

"Hey don't worry kid. We'll get her back" Danny said. Danielle smiled and asked hopefully, "You will?"

"Hey that's what friends are for kid" Danny said as he ruffled her hair.

"We'll are we gonna do this or what?" Tucker said in determination.

"Alright guys. Let's do this" Danny said and all of them including Star took off to go and rescue Jazz but accidently forgot about Ghostwriter as he almost got the net off him.

"Hey guys wait up!" Ghostwriter shouted. He sighed and then shouted as he continued to cut the net with a knife that Skulker accidently left behind, "You guys go on ahead! I'll catch up….as soon as I get out of this net!"
