Happy Fourth of July! Hope you like this chapter.
The police finally arrived at the scene of the grieving parents to give conformation about their kids that they hope were not on that bus. The fire trucks were also on the scene hooking up their hoses to fire hydrants and spraying the blazing fire that was once known as a bus, but now known as a pile of ashes and dirt. When the ambulances left showing no sign of life and the fire trucks left when their job was done, the police investigated the crime scene. They brought in their best men and best forensics to collect ashes to take back to the lab or to find bones.
While waiting, all the parents were in their own tears along with their spouses. The wives sobbed on their husband's shoulders and the husbands were trying to keep it together for their wives. Maddie was crying with Jack since she wanted him to let it all out. After making Jack let it all out though they heard a noise, the same noise before the bus blew up. They knew right away that it was the ghost tracker, but why was the question.
Maddie got off of Jacks shoulder, leaving him crying alone, and went to the ghost assault vehicle, finding the tracker, and finding out that ghost that was making it go off. The tracker led her strait to the bus, so she went with it. "Excuse me miss, but we don't want you here right now, it's not a safe place". Maddie just ignored him and kept walking in till the beeping stopped, causing silence, and showing that the ghost disappeared from the radar.
She got frustrated, thinking the thing was broken, and started banging on the tracker with her hand hoping it would pick up on something else or at least work, but instead she saw something on the ground right in front of her big toe on her right foot.
"Excuse me miss, but this is an ongoing investigation. I am afraid you cannot be here right now". The sergeant said while trying to be polite, due to her losing possibly losing her kid.
Maddie picks up the thing from the ash pile on the ground and asks the sergeant "what is this".
The sergeant takes it from her and investigates it noticing that there's no burn marks on it, but it was found on a pile of ashes. He opened up the latch to it and slowly opened it reveling a video tape. Since no one uses vcr's anymore he didn't understand why it was here or how it didn't catch on fire with the rest of the bus. He realized this is the most valuable, possibly the only piece of evidence they will get from this case. The forensics are still collecting samples, but after that they will take it to the lab and see if there's any body's in this rubble. He just hopes there's not. Who would leave the kids parents grieve like this and who would especially kill kids from high school. A sick person would do that, and he's hoping this person wasn't sick enough to kill kids. From the looks of it, this person wants everyone to look or notice something. He even left, hopefully, a clue so they can look. He knew right then and there that this case was going to be a pain. Definitely since they are in Amity Park, the strangest place in the world, the only place haunted by ghosts.
Maddie and Jack called Jazz with the bad news and she knew that her brother couldn't have been on that bus. He's too strong for that and wouldn't allow anyone to get hurt, even if he had to risk his own life. He also knew she would kill him if he didn't make it even if he would already be dead. Jazz thought about it for a while wanted to get some answers and she knew where to get them. Her brother always mentioned this guardian of his and how he knows the future, how he's so nice, and helpful, but can be a pain with not telling you somethings. Jazz just hope he will tll her this important thing.
Jazz got onto Danny's computer and went into his secret files, looking for this guardian of his. She looked for about a half hour before finding someone named clockwork, and she knew that was right. So she looked up where his location is in the ghost zone, shut his computer, and took the spectra speeder out into the ghost zone. She came upon an interesting house and knocked on the doors, well at least tried.
"Ah Jasmine come in, come in. I was expecting you".
"So you are the ghost my brother looks too".
"Well I'm just his guardian that helps him with major conflicts".
"Well if you can tell the future then tell me if my brother is ok and if he was on that bus".
"I cannot tell you all of that, you will find out eventually yourself, but I can tell you one thing. Everything will be fine at the end if the time goes the way it should".
"That's not much help, could you at least tell me where he is so I can get him".
"Unfortunately I cannot".
"Your his guardian though, aren't you suppose to look out for him".
"I am if bad things go to worse, but for this like I said I cannot tell you where he is because I simply don't know. The only way I wouldn't know if he's not here" clockwork mentioned hoping she would pick up on the hint, which he knew she would.
"Great, I have no idea where he is. Thanks for your help clockwork, but I will find him and his friends even if it takes a while" Jazz said as she left out the door and flew off in the spectra speeder to the portal.
Clockwork looks at his screen and sees the family's looking for the kids, then a blank screen with things missing and later the kids back. On another screen he saw the same thing, but a different ending to it. "Everything is as it should be" clockwork said to himself.
Island...
Mr. Lancer pulled Danny's shirt off to reveal how beat up he was, all his scars, his burns, and how muscular he was. Everyone gasped at the sight. The girls for not believing he has abs and muscles and everyone else for the way he looked with the scars and cuts. Dash and Kwan slowly put Danny down and backed away with their hands to their mouths, flabbergasted from the sight. Mr. Lancer was the one to ask the question "how"?
Sam and Tucker just looked at each other with sorrow in their eyes for their friend. Tucker spoke up and said "to tell you the truth, we just found out our selves". Sam was relieved he wasn't actually going to say the truth but that still doesn't put Danny in the best position for when he wakes up. He will have a lot of questions to answer for. Lucky for Danny he heals fast, so he won't have to worry about sitting too long to hear what they say about him.
"We will just have to ask him when he wakes up". Lancer looked at his student one last time, worried for him, before giving orders. "We need a first aid kit and water, we need to stop this bleeding so he doesn't die and hopefully the electrocution doesn't cause too much trouble".
Lancer, Sam, and Tucker helped clean up the wounds on Danny, but Sam stopped half way through to see if his pulse was still slow or getting better and it seems it was unfortunately getting slower. "His pulse is getting slower, we need fluid inside of him now to help with the healing" Sam demanded.
After all his cuts were cleaned and his burns were treated as well as they could be, they tried giving him water, but he started shaking rapidly. Everyone around him backed away not wanting to cause more trouble, while Sam tried helping him so he doesn't choke on his own spit, but before she could he stopped and shot strait up in the air breathing heavily, taking in deep breaths each time to put air in his lungs and flinching a little from the pain. As soon as he shot up though he laid back down in pain.
