My beloved brother
Chapter eleven: Family secrets
.
In the suburbs of Amity Park was a moving truck unloading a series of boxes unto a small apartment complex, from the living room Danielle watch how the workers move boxes under the cold morning rain in to the apartment.
The teen's eye was momentarily caught by her guard dog, a tan woman who barely reach thirty, of perhaps of Egyptian origin. Her beauty couldn't be denied as more than once had the workers trip down while glancing at her.
Once her couch was inside the living room was that she sat down and pour herself a cup of coffee while Danielle stood near the corner watching her give orders as where she wanted each box and furniture without lifting herself from the comfort of her leather couch.
The slight annoyance she produces with her cocky attituded died almost instantly once the men were done carrying her belongings, as each earn a hundred-dollar tip before being shown the door.
Danielle watch the men leave in their truck, while the tan woman drank her coffee and ready the day's schedule, Danielle wonder around the apartment, aside from the large living room, it had three bedrooms on the second floor, though one served as an office.
A back door at the end of the hallway leading to a private pool, a kitchen and two bathrooms along the way, it was a luxurious apartment far too expensive for a secretary to afford wonder Danielle, even if she is the Mayor's secretary.
The tan woman orders the teen to tidy up her room as she would start unpacking the boxes, Danielle utter a single "sure" before climbing the stairs leading to her room, soon she found herself within the place where she would be sleeping every night.
An empty build-in closet on the left wall, a desk, various boxes with clothes her guard dog personally selected among other necessities, finally a bed place against the window, Danielle looked at it for a few moments before laying upon it.
Danielle couldn't help recall how she got here in the first place, though many would consider it a strike of good luck for an orphan like her to have been taken in by such a rich person, her situation was by far good.
Less than a week ago she had been living in Dimsdale's House of Angels, an orphanage of more than poor reputation as it had been placed multiple times under investigations for child abuse and even prostitution, though none could ever be proven.
Danielle had known this to be true since the first day she walk in, her earliest memories remoted to when she was just five years old, ever since she had been worked like a mule within the walls of House of Angels.
After nine years in this hellhole, Danielle was called up to the back rooms just like she had for the last four years, she knew what weekend nights meant, wearing no more than a towel she walks from her dormitory to the back of the house.
The boy's glance at her with sad expressions, some girls cry as they're being dragged to the same place as her by the orphanage personal, Danielle had learned not to put up a fight as it would mean a certain beating and several days without eating.
Upon entering the back hallways, she finds herself in front of the headmistress, a woman far into her sixties, with a hard, cold expression, with a simple head motion she instructs the teen to follow her.
As they walk down the hallway Danielle could hear crying and moaning accompanied by the creaking sounds of a rusty bed. She herself had been inside these rooms doing the same as the girls she shared a room with.
It still disgusted the first time she had been taken to the back rooms, with no more than eleven years old she was lock up with a morbidly obsess man who ripped her already ragged clothes off.
No matter how hard she screamed, begged and cried no one came to help her. The pain she felt as the fat man pierced her girlhood still lingers in her mind, even after four years, she can still smell his sweat and alcoholic breath.
Almost like a ritual for the headmistress, Danielle was force to walk naked back to her dormitory in full view of all the boys, girls and staff members. The ultimate humiliation to brake her will and tame her completely.
The girl dragged her feet as blood and semen dripped down from her crotch, she had cried herself dry, though none of her peers looked at her with malice, just empty eyes glance upon her.
Her smile was buried that day as the smiles of many children who were unfortunate enough to end up in the House of Angels. The headmistress knocked a couple of times before opening the door.
Danielle knew the routine by heart now as she led go of her towel exposing her small body to whoever was expecting her, much to the teen's surprise there were others girls inside the room, it wasn't strange for the client to called for more than one girl sometimes.
But to see over twenty was very strange, some girl shiver while others held down their tears, in front was a man who didn't seem to pass beyond forty despite his white hair, next to him stood a tan woman dress in a fancy black suit just like the man with white hair, a second male with a more simple brown suit and thick glasses stood behind the woman.
"This is the last one I got available that meet your requirements, mister Masters"- said the headmistress.
Vlad walks around the girl scanning her from head to toe, touching her sides, legs, back and finally examining her face, for a moment he looked at her with a puzzled gaze, the man could swear he had seen her before, those baby blue eyes.
Dismissing it as a coincidence he calls upon the man in the back who instructs Danielle to lay on the bed, the cold stethoscope makes the girl jerk for a single second, with a calm voice he tells her to breathe deep.
Eyes and tongue are check, but his attention is drawn to her crotch though not out of perverseness, kindly he asked her to open her legs while Vlad cocks an eyebrow and his assistant averts her eyes.
Danielle was used to opening her legs to strangers but hardly ever in front of others, with a glove he pushes his fingers inside the girl while illuminating with a small flashlight, soon the man walks over to Vlad while removing the gloves.
"Headmistress, why didn't you informed us she's given birth." Said Vlad upon hearing his doctor's opinion.
"I'm terribly sorry, it happened last year but we got rid of the child and she's still in good conditions. I'll give her to you at half price."- said the old woman.
The doctor implores Vlad to consider taking the blonde girl who was just as healthy but hadn't given birth, but the man still chose Danielle over the other candidates, impulse perhaps by compassion or better yet by the special discount, no matter the reason he wanted that face walking around him.
"Wake up kid, lets go get breakfast"- said the tan woman.
"Sure, Desiree" replied the teen.

It was lunch time at Casper high, the news of a second murder had disappeared very quickly though mister Lancer was the one who took it the hardest, some think even more than Star's parents.
In the middle table of the backyard was a trio of friends eating their lunches, Danny was far more interested in the goth girl who was munching a salad while her "boyfriend" devoured a couple of store-bought burritos.
Danny was still pondering on how to break the news to Tucker, the boy not only deserve to know but needed to know, as his best friend he had to rat out Sam, but the goth is also his best friend, by code of friendship he had to keep his mouth shut.
"So, Sam. Tucker told me you're babysitting your cousin every Wednesday."- Said Danny making the goth stop chewing her lettuce.
There was a certain accusing tone in the boy's voice, he looks at Sam with a hard cold stare, one that the goth had rarely ever since she met him so many years ago, she only nodded as to agree.
"Must be hard… and lonely, just you and the girl."- said Danny.
Sam didn't like the tone he was using to speak to her, it felt as if he was almost accusing her of something, even Tucker notice the unusual soft tone of voice Danny was implementing, though his voice was soft, his eyes were sharp, it seems like he was holding his anger down.
After school the goth sat at the park alone as Tucker was part timing at his uncles' warehouse, Danny simply left without saying a single word. As she ponders about what happened and why Danny got angry.
Sam was touch on the shoulder by a large hand, upon turning her gaze she meets with none other than Robert, who invites her for a coffee at a café he recently discovered. Though reluctant at start she agrees to go with him unaware of the two green eyes gleaming over her from the skies.
Disappointed in his best friend Danny flew home, he had to tell Tucker about Sam cheating on him, but what bother him the most was the strange adult that met with Sam, he didn't want to see anymore than what he already witnessed.
Jazz greeted him with a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek while Maddie looked upon them with a confuse looked on her eyes, she knew how much Jazz loved and depended on Danny.
Having lived through so many horrible situations was enough to make her overly attached on her brother, the redhead offers him a meal and to play videogames after doing homework.
He could feel her soft hands touching his own, her kind eyes looking at him with almost endless love. Maddie clear her throat loudly as she noticed how dreamy they were looking at each other, while asking her son about his day at school.
Though before he could answer, the doorbell rang a couple of times forcing Maddie to leave for the door, much to her surprise a tan woman with long black hair was standing on the other side with Danielle next to her.
"Hello ma'am, my name's Desiree and I'm Vlad Masters personal assistant, I was told Daniel was going to take my daughter for a stroll around town"- said the woman in a charming voice.
Mesmerize by the tan and exotic beauty which remined Maddie of her rustic upbringings, made the woman temporally lost for words as she stutters while pointing over to Danny.
"The fuck you want here!"- suddenly yell Jazz as she stood in front of the door impeding Danielle to come inside.
The smaller teen had seen many types of eyes before but never ones like Jazz's, her eyes were filled with murderous rage, Danielle actually felt scare. The last time she felt this kind if fear was when she was raped by the fat man.
Even Desiree who stood a few inches above Jazz felt the threat, the tan woman knew that upon taking a single step further could mean a lot of pain for her, she wasn't the fighting type.
Desiree instinctively put herself between the two girls, an almost primordial sense of fear overwhelms the tan woman as well, it was as if she was standing in front of a hungry and very wild animal.
"I'm so sorry, she's never done this before."- said Maddie as she pulls her daughter back like one would pull an angry dog.
Daniel also step in pulling his sister away, he had known for a while about Jazz slight jealous side, but the boy understood why she was acting like that, if it were him being kidnapped, beaten and nearly raped, only to be saved by Jazz, he too would be overly jealous if some guy out of nowhere were to take Jazz out.
The boy explains to his mother and visitors how he already had plans with Jazz and couldn't change them on such brief notice, Desiree apologizes for interrupting their plans and leaves after doing a slight bow.
Jazz pulls her brother by the hand up to his room ignoring her mother's rant, with vicious eyes she sees from the window a black car leaves with the women inside, Danny knew his sister boil with rage.
He never intended to leave Jazz's side; he did know his sister would absolutely hate the idea of him taking Danielle out to town without her approval, or her presence. While Danny and his sister remain in his room.

At the Barracuda nightclub was Aragon observing the crime scene that lay before his eyes as he stood in the middle of the dance floor, over the bar was a decapitated biker, his head was sunk within the aquarium.
Over some turn over tables were four more bikers all chopped into multiple pieces, two more crush against the wall. It was a bizarre scene as most of the gang members still had their firearms in hand.
Aragon wasn't sure if these killings were link to Jasmine, as it screamed "revenge" but what most intrigue the police detective was the lack of gunshot wounds on the victims as all were slice down by what seem to be a long and extremely sharp blade.
Being called by Dorothea to the office made Aragon walk over to the hallway's entrance as he came close, he quickly notices yet another headless boy laying on the floor behind small knocked down chairs.
Crossing the door was a T form hallway, on the right side was the men's bathroom, to the left the woman's bathroom, just a few inches from the door was another dead biker leaning against the wall with a huge cut in the middle of his chest, Aragon move his head over to a bloodstain slit on the wooden wall.
His walk to the hallway was packed with nearly a dozen sliced up bodies, some cut off hands still had their pistols and the finger holding to the triggers. The senior detective wonder why he had been called in so late to attend the emergency, the responding officers had reported this since the previous night.
Aragon hated how slow Amity Park police were at some times, the city never had the need for more than one "Crime scene investigation" unit at any given moment, unfortunately this unit was grossly inexperienced as they spent most of the night cleaning their own vomit.
Upon entering the office was that Aragon notices his usual coroner examining a half rotten body over a chair, the woman stands and presents the body as Johnny 13, two more bodies were scatter near the door.
There was a safe over the liqueur cabinet that a police locksmith had recently open, within were large sums of money and jewelry, white powder was scatter on the desk where the corpse laid in front of.
The corner explains how the body match with Johnny 13, it came as a wonder to see his body rotten, it was as if he had died weeks, even months ago, she had sent the fingerprints to analyze and finally put a real name on the blonde ringleader.
Both of the detectives knew this wasn't an attack from a rival gang as no other "colors" were among the dead, it wasn't a robbery as money and valuables were still in its place, only bikers were murder which made Aragon believe it was either a vigilant or most likely a revenge as he initially suspected.
"There's hardly any blood out there, what kind of weapon did the perp used?"- questioned Aragon to the coroner.
"It was most likely an energy-based blade by the looks of it"- said a male voice with a slight southern accent.
Aragon and Dorothea both look over to the door where a tall, muscular man dress in a white suit and black fedora hat stood with his hands behind his back, the sounds his cowboy boots made echo inside the room despite the chattering of the medical service.
"The name's Walker, son. James Walker, know it."- said the man as he flashes his FBI badge before taking a hard look at Johnny's corpse.
Dorothea asked why was the FBI involved in a gang war at Amity Park, Johnny's crew did roundup a large gang but all they ever manage to handle was a small-time drug trade and this nightclub, hardly enough to even catch the eye of the local police.
"We're not interested in these lowlifes, we're more interested in your vigilante and his… lets called sword."- said Walker as he kicked the head of one of Johnny's guards to the side.
Neither of the detective like the arrogant attitude Walker had towards them, almost as if he owned the place, the man orders his men to take some of the corpses to their facilities including that of the ringleader.
Dorothea was informed via cellphone by her Chief to not get in the way of the feds, and to help them with anything they needed, clearly angered by having his case taken away and being toss to the side, Aragon and his partner followed their orders no matter how much they dislike them.
"Come on bro, its beer 0'clock"- said Dorothea.
The woman was under a lot of stress as Internal Affairs was questioning her heavily about her refusal to answer detective Aragon's calls for help, it reaches the point where she asked if she had been bribed in order to let the kidnapping occurred.
Stepping in more as a brother than a fellow cop, Aragon assured Internal Affairs that his sister was a devoted police officer and incorruptible, in all her years as a police officer she had never once been accused of taking a bribe until now.
There most recent cases were being investigated under suspicions of corruption. Paulina's case was close with Gregor being blamed for the videos and its filtration to the internet, but Gregor's, Poindexter's and Star's cases were still open.
Poindexter's main and only real suspect miss Bridget Jones was set free just a few days ago for lack of evidence, though she lost her job at Casper High she was none the less extremely happy to be sleeping in her home once again.
The two detectives watch how Walker orders his crew to bag the bodies as they search for cameras, though none were at plain sight there was just a single camera overviewing the hallway.
As foolish as the bikers were, they only kept but a single camera, not on the dance floor or the bar, just the hallway, completely hidden from sight. Their illegal trades made the sight of a camera an unwelcome one.
Back at the police precinct, Dorothea watches how the federal agents unpacked their equipment and place it inside an office, even though they were all on the same side there was a certain passive-aggressive tension between them all.
It surprises not only the police detectives but also Walker once they receive a report on Johnny 13; he was a nineteen years old named John Smith, high school dropout, his rap record had some minor arrests for speeding and vandalism.
He didn't give out the vibe of a harden leader who could command nearly seventy bikers, and a drug trade no matter how small it was, Johnny 13 seem like a wimp who pretended to act like a tough guy.
"I'll informed the Fenton's about Johnny and call off the patrol car"- said Dorothea having confirmed the death of the gang ringleader.

Jack came back home just a few minutes before dinner time, the man seemed lost in his mind as he ate his grilled chicken though it wasn't a novelty as he was always thinking of something stupid.
He observes at his daughter as she holds Danny's hand while watching the family favorite show, normally Jack would be bursting out laughing but the events earlier that day had him most worried.
The family man recalls going to a rather shady nightclub near downtown, he walks pass the empty table as it was far too soon to open, to the far right was a set of different gambling games and to the left a stage with poles stretching all the way to the ceiling.
A man preparing the drinks for the night stood near the bar as another mop the place up, Jack was escorted by a couple of mean looking men wearing black suits to the office that overview the club, his heart beat loudly as he sat in front a one eye man.
"I'm sorry for calling you out so suddenly mister Fenton, but you are two months back on your payments"- said the one eye man.
Jack tried to explain how his business was not at its best for the moment, to be patient as he was sure to pay all he owes the man, by business of course he meant his ghost hunting job, not many were keen on hiring a wanna be ghost buster.
It also didn't help his business to have been label a fraud, most of his ghost gadgets didn't actually work beyond giving out some green light, the "anti-ghost" he so proudly design and personally manufacture were given as toys for children.
"Listen this isn't a charity; you loan money from us and we expect you to pay to it back. I know how hard it is out there, even I'm a few acts short for next week"- the man as he leans on his chair.
"I don't expect you to pay us your two months overdue, just the interest. But if you can't I have a proposition that might interest you"- continued the one eye man.
Jack didn't like his tone of voice, he knew the loan shark had connections with a crime family perhaps even the mafia, Jack recalled how he came across this man, it was after being reject another loan at the bank, he did make quite a scene for it.
A few seconds after being kicked out he was boarded by one of his underlings, he was offered a couple of drinks before going down to business, it was the first time he had even visit a strip club.
There wasn't any in Amity Park during his teenage years and after getting married he never saw the need to visit one, highly distracted by barely dress woman, Jack sign the loan. Unexcitingly he paid the first two, only to be offer a sum he could never pay back but with such money he could finished his laboratory.
"Well I'm an act short for next weekend and natural redheads are hard to find. I heard you have a very pretty redhead daughter, I was wondering if you could bring her over next week and have her dance at my club, just dance. And we can give you an extension until next month, of course if you want her to make some real money, she can use that pretty ass of hers."- Said the one eye man.
"Mister Frederick, please I can get you the money. All 10,000, so please don't get my girl into this mess"- replied Jack almost pleading.
"Well it's up to you. Bring the money or bring the girl"- said Frederick as he waves him out of the office. "Of course, if you don't pay or bring the girl, we CAN always get her ourselves"- added the man.
He blinks out of his trance once he notices his daughter staring at him with her empty eyes, Jack knew there was no way for him to round up 10,000 dollars in just a little more than a week, no bank would give him the money with his credit history, Jazz was his only way out.
Unlike with the bank that can just take your car or house, these men would take his life and that of his family, there was no debate in the matter, he had to take Jazz to the strip club, it was a huge risk, there was no guaranteed they would try something on her.
The question was, how to tell her? And better yet, how could he convince the girl? Jack had to approach his daughter without his wife and Danny around. Jack could hardly get any sleep at all, even after the grand news of Johnny's death.
At least it was one less problem to deal with, but he buried himself in another one, at the break of day he found himself unable to tear his eyes away from Jasmine as she ate her breakfast.
Trying to justified his train of thought, he recalls the medical costs, her expensive psychiatry sessions, the man had spent a lot of money on her, perhaps it was time for Jazz to take one for the team.
"It's only dancing, naked but still it's just dancing. And if she wants and only if she wants, she can do the other thing. No, I won't let her do it, just dancing."- mentally agree Jack as he saw Danny and Jazz leave the house for school.
Maddie was far more relax knowing Johnny was dead, she would have preferred to have the police put a stop to him and not some vigilante group, but so long her daughter was safe, she didn't care who delivers.
Wanting to have a celebratory dinner, the woman went out shopping, though her husband chose to stay arguing he needed to finished a new anti-ghost rifle, but in reality, he needed to find a way to convince Jazz to help him out without his wife and son finding out.
The man walked around the house thinking of a way to bring up the subject but as he did, Jack found himself standing at Jasmine's door, her room was painted pink with the computer on the corner near the door, her pink double size bed just under the window, going against his better judgment the man headed over to the closet and open it.
He needed something to convince her to help, going against his daughter's privacy and his better judgment he rambles in her personal belongings, the girl had a liking for blue jeans and black shirts, mostly long-sleeved blouses.
The first drawer he opens contain her white underwear, most seem new and unused, Jack didn't know what he was looking for but he was growing desperate by the minute, upon reaching the last drawer he disappointedly found more old black shirts.
Sitting on the floor in front of the closet he begins to call himself stupid for doing this, to hope he could find drugs or something to blackmail his own daughter, he disgusts himself for even thinking about something like that.
His eyes are soon drawn to a pink string coming from underneath the black shirts, slowly pulling it out he made a discovery; a pink thong, putting the shirts to the side he found many more, he turns his attention over at the hangers, Jack spots her coats.
Each one of them hiding skirts and dresses a little too short for her, a see-through night gown, shorts oddly cut and a pair of high heels hidden in the farthest corner of the closet under some old pants.
Never had he seen her wear any of the clothes hidden inside the closet, so many ideas came up, she didn't have a boyfriend or any friends for that matter, no one to show them to, so one single idea shine above all others.
"My god Jazz, you're a hooker"- whispered Jack disappointed as he opened her desk drawer finding an open condom box.
There was a mixture of feelings and emotions within the large man, he surely loathed the idea of knowing his daughter was standing in a corner every night getting picked up by random strangers while he slept, but on the other hand he was trill as Jazz couldn't deny helping him now.
"Maybe she can even do the other thing, I mean she's already doing it." Said Jack as he put away all her clothes leaving everything as he found it.
Sitting in front of his chair, Jack turn on the television finding out the one o'clock news was on, it was then that he noticed his wife had been out of the house since ten in the morning.
It was thirty minutes later that Maddie came home saying Vlad invited her for coffee at a popular café near the public library, the white hair wanted to complain about being thrown much more work despite his time as a Mayor was over in a month.
Once night came about Jack knocked on Jazz's door, it was odd for the man to come see her at almost eleven pm, even though he wasn't invited in Jack still walk inside, he started some casual conversation, wanting to know how her day was and if she was taking her medication.
Her mechanical answer had always been an issue for Jack, but for now he could ignore them, Jazz return to her homework as she had much left to do since she skip many days thanks to the biker. Jack casually asked if she was going out for the night, to a date or a nightly stroll.
"It's quite late to go out, and I don't have a date"- answered the redhead.
She was upset she couldn't sleep with Danny as she had much homework and he was quite tire for some reason, Jazz could feel her father's presence standing behind her, soon his face was side to side with hers.
Danny's favorite thong was being wave in front of her, that piece of string that dare called itself underwear dangle upon her eyes as her own father told her about having found her collection of kinky underwear, the exceedingly short dresses and an open box of condoms.
Jazz couldn't tell her father those were meant for Danny's eyes only, but she despises how nonchalantly he ask her if she walk around the block wearing those, and taking ride on random cars, the redhead turn her head over to Jack with a murderous glare.
It was the first time he ever saw such a hateful glare on her, Jazz knew what her father was implying, he wanted to know if she was a prostitute walking the streets at night, if he were any other man, she would have taken the new boxcutter near the keyboard and slit his throat wide open.
But to commit patricide was still something she wasn't ready to do, and yet he was a problem that needed to be dealt with. Jack returns the underwear to his daughter as he sits over the desk.
"I got a friend who owns a club and I was wondering, if you could go next weekend. All you gotta do is strip dance and I'll make sure no one touches you, even if you'r doing that behind my back." Said Jack trying to stay casual.
Jazz keeps her glare at him as the man leaves warning her that if she refuses he'll tell Maddie and Danny about her nightly strolls, Jazz knew he had no proof at all as she never done it, and she had no intention of working at a strip club, only Danny had the right to see her naked, all others could gouge their eyes out for all she care.
Upon laying his head to rest Jack felt a disgust he never felt before not even when he stole from his father's liqueur cabinet when he was no more than eleven years old, though now he could add the horrid sensation of betrayal, Jazz trusted him and he just spit it back at her.
She was his little girl and now he was willing to hand her over to some pimp, though it was much better than seeing her be taken by force, mostly getting gun down in an attempt of stopping them, Jack would make sure Jazz comes back home safely.

While the redhead ponders on how to deal with her father without killing him off just yet, Vlad too wonders how to get rid of the same man. Jack had always been a torn on his side, stealing away his work on ghosts and stealing Maddie from him, even breeding that little shit he named Jasmine just to nail her down.
Vlad could have sent to kill him long ago but that wasn't enough, he wanted him to suffer for his thievery, to humiliate him for how he shows Maddie off at any and all occasion he gets.
The white hair man turns over to his assistant and kindly orders her to get some of Danny's DNA, upon being asked why he explains about looking into the laboratory Maddie used for the paternity test years ago.
The place had been shut down due to having falsified various results, so naturally Vlad felt the need to verified the results. He felt it in his heart, he just knew Danny is his son, but he needs proof to back his intuition.
"I can get it; blood is the best for this kind of test but it's hard to get. Hair is easier and it works all the same. By the way I expected to have sex with you even though it's not on my job description, but did you really have to include Danielle tonight."- said Desiree as she lifts her head to better see the teen who laid on her stomach.
Desiree had work for Vlad for almost ten years, though it didn't take much for her to spent countless nights in his bed, let it be on their normal routines or on business trips, she had grown so used to it that whenever she booked a hotel out of town she didn't have the need to get a room for herself as she spent the night with him.
Even so Vlad is a man of habits, rarely having a one-night stand with a woman he wasn't well acquainted, Desiree was by far the most capable and professional assistant he had ever employed.
Only after a year working together that their relationship turned more physical, a series of bad choices on his part put much stress on him and so, Desiree offer to help him relax, she wasn't trying to honeytrap or blackmail him with pregnancy.
Nine years later and she hadn't tried to convince him of forming a romantic relationship, and though Vlad put a blind eye he was somewhat aware that his personal assistant had slept with others in order to get better deals for him.
"Well she failed to get a date with Danny. She has to make up for it"- replied Vlad.
With proof in his hands about being Danny's real father and Danielle luring him with sex, the boy would easily follow him and become his son, Maddie would have no more option to marry him since Jack would undoubtedly leave his cheating wife and take his only real daughter away.
"You have quite the stamina though, fucking Maddie this morning and us now"- added Desiree.
Ever since his birthday celebration, Vlad started an affair with Maddie. It wasn't so hard to keep it a secret from Jack as the man was far too engross with his silly ghost gadgets to pay attention to his wife.
The bed moves slightly as Danielle went to the bathroom, semen dripping down from her crotch as she made her way inside, her face had a blank expression. The girl had expected this kind of treatment but it still made her stomach twirl.
At the very least Vlad was better looking than her regular guys, who were fat, old and reeking of sweat. It had always disgusted her to be with such men, to be touch by their wrinkly fat fingers, to smell their putrid breath.
Moments after rinsing herself in the sink and gulping down some birth control pills Desiree entered the bathroom wearing nothing at all, she glances at the woman as she opens the shower, all the adult females at the orphanage were either old or overweight.
It was quite a rare sight to see such a fit woman, her caramel skin made her want to lick Desiree again as she had done moments earlier, her sweet fragrance combines perfectly with Vlad's cologne, normally it repulsed the teen to have sex but somehow, she manages to enjoyed it for once.
The woman had a certain charmed that ease Danielle, it was almost motherly. Vlad left Desiree's apartment after taking a shower and reminding the tan woman about his instructions, on his way out he even patted Danielle on the head before leaving.
All the men in her life always saw her as a toy, something to used and cast aside like a dirty tissue, Vlad was no different, he too was using her to obtain something from her but at least he had the decency of not being so obvious about it.
Even though it was the first night Danielle would sleep in a bed of her "own" Desiree insisted on sharing the bed, it was the most peaceful night in so many years, the warm embrace from the woman with caramel skin let the young teen sleep deeply.

It was on Monday evening that Danny finally muster the courage to confront Sam about Brian, seeing his friend Tucker head over to his part-time job let the raven hair boy begin questioning her.
"So, how was your weekend?"- casually asked Danny.
The goth couldn't say she went to a hotel with Robert on Saturday afternoon or that she casually crawled inside a van with a couple of guys after being offer a fifty later that day, though her Sunday was far more boring as she stayed home with her grandmother watching soap operas.
Jeremy spend his Sundays playing golf, a sport Sam didn't enjoy for it involved staying out in the sun, Pamela always went on a shopping spree on Sundays coming home quite late and with few shopping bags considering how long she took.
"Boring. I would've preferred to hang out with you? Watcha been up to, man?"- questioned the goth.
"Nothing much, Jazz been acting weird with dad, she's giving him the silent treatment. How's Stacy doing?"- asked Danny again.
The question caught her off guard as she was sure to have never mention the blondie's name before, Sam stops her pace as she looks at him with a confuse glance as she tells him the girl was doing find.
"And Brian?"- continued Danny.
Her heart hit the pit of her stomach upon hearing her cousin's name be spoken so casually, without giving an answer Sam takes Danny by the hand and pulls him to a near by alley, using the dumpsters as cover she pushes the boy against the wall.
With a half-smile Danny use to cover his painfilled heart he explains how he saw Brian walked inside her house after being greeted with a kiss that perhaps had a little too much tongue, Sam could hear her heart beat louder than the ongoing traffic just a few meters away.
"How much did you see?"- asked the goth.
"Too much. You're dating Tucker, so please as a friend stop seeing this guy."- implored Danny.
This was the worst-case scenario for Sam, she had been careful to never be seen by anyone she knew but perhaps her eagerness to please herself made her clumsy, even so she was sure to have lock the main door and her bedroom, windows were also close, there was no way for Danny to have known, it seems he put a trap and she fell for it.
She felt to her knees as tears stream down her eyes all the way to her chin, of all the boys to know it had to be Danny. The boy sat in front of her leaning his back against the wall, kindly asking why she did it.
"I don't know. I wanted to feel in control again. Ever since Gregor had his way with me, I been itching for it but I was too afraid to ask you to make love to me and I asked Brian, and those oth…"- Sam was interrupted by Danny as he put his hand over her shoulder.
"You went through a lot, and I know I haven't been a good friend. But Tucker has, so please don't do this to him, despite how he acts and his wannabe playboy attituded, you know better than I do just how fragile he can be. And how much he loves you." Said Danny as he helps the goth get up.
Danny had always been at her back, maybe if she had listened to him so long ago all this wouldn't have happened. It was because of this that she fell in love with him but now she felt dirty, used. And yet, just maybe Danny wouldn't care, perhaps she still had a chance with him, he's too noble for his own good.
"Listen Sam, I got your back. If you wanna be with Tucker or Brian, whoever you choose, I got your back"- said Danny imploring her to choose one. It was then that she noticed that Danny only knew of Brian and not her other "boyfriends."
Back home Danny watch his sister glaring at Jack whom seem to lower his eyes whenever she was near, dinner was quiet as Maddie too had begun to distance herself from her husband, normally they spoke about ghosts and their inventions.
But now all was quiet, Jazz seem angry and his father worried, even Maddie seem to be distracted as she seasoned the chicken with sugar instead of black pepper, even with poorly made food, the redhead played rather aggressively with his crotch not caring if their parents were sitting on the same table.
Getting ready for bed Danny steps out of his bedroom, he had grown used to having his sister wrap her arms around him at night, but ever since the biker incident she had recluse herself in her bedroom every night.
He could hear his father's heavy footsteps as he brushes his teeth, it caught Danny's attention to see him knocking on Jazz door before walking inside the bedroom. Feeling curious Danny goes invisible and phases through the wall.
"Come on Jazz, it's just dancing. I'm sorry for how I spoke to you the other day but I need you."- Begged Jack.
Danny watched them in his invisible form, trying to understand what his father was asking from his sister. Danny didn't like how Jack got on his knees asking her to go to the club, but his heart sank upon hearing a horrid sentence.
"Please Jazz, I'll make sure nothing bad happens." Begged the man.
"I'm not getting naked in front of anybody; besides you think those sons of bitches aren't gonna try to fuck me."- Replied Jazz in an accusing cold voice.
It was the first time in his life that Danny glare at his father with so much anger for having propose something so stupid, out of all the stupid things he's done in his life this was by far the worst.
It was as if he simply forgot how Dash and his crew tried to rape her, or how Johnny kidnapped the girl and tried the same, now he was asking her to work at a strip club, knowing the risks, how can any father in their right mind asked for this?
Danny wanted to smack some sense into the man but stay his hand, at least Jazz had the common sense to refuse his proposition, even after explaining how much he owed them, the redhead didn't care.
"That's your problem. You can go and wiggle your ass on their stage. Get your ass outta here before I scream for mom or worse for Danny"- threaten the redhead.
Laying down on his bed Jack wonders how he was going to convince her to help him, he stepped unto her wrong side and wouldn't move an inch for him, there was no way to proof she was a prostitute despite the clothes in the closet which actually quell his heart, but didn't improve his situation with the loan sharks.
Jack was by no doubt thankful he couldn't find any evidence to back his initial suspicion of her night walking, it did lift a huge weight off his back but if proven true he could ask knowing she wasn't doing anything she wasn't used to.
The man rolls over to his side facing the window but rather than seeing the shining moon he instead sees a dark humanoid shadow leaning against the window, his heart pounds hard, the idea of a burglar besieges his head.
He blinks twice and the shadow person is no longer there, Jack stands up looking around the room. Weeks ago, he would have been trilled to see an entity like this just chilling at his window but now it made him feel as if he were breaking apart.
"No…it's just my head turning into mush"- whispered the man as he tried to go to sleep.
There was so much shit on Danny's plate, now he understood why Jazz refuse to speak to her father, it came a little too hard to find out that his own father tried to used Jazz as a scapegoat to free his debts.
Though Danny still didn't know just how much was owe, in his eyes it wasn't enough to expose Jasmine to drunken perverts, he knew she must be protected but never once had he thought Jazz had to be protected from their father.
The days when on with Jazz still ignoring her father but having become even more attached to Danny, rarely ever leaving his room, day or night. It felt horrible to know she was afraid of their own father.
Jack on the other hand reclused himself within his OP-center working tirelessly on his gadgets, Danny had high hopes the man finally had come back to his senses, though he still wonders why he stood looking down at his father sleep that night.
"What was I thinking that night? Was I going to hurt dad? No, that's impossible."- Question Danny even now that Sam was spilling her guts in front of Tucker in the school's back parking lot.
The goth told him about Brian, how she spent but a single evening with him, Tucker's eyes water up as Sam blamed Gregor's drugs which she claimed still remain within her, how desperate she was to be in control of her life again.
Even as she cried her eyes dry Danny still linger at the idea of his sister dancing naked for the lascivious eyes of perverted men, each one drooling over the ideas of what they could do to her, how they could make her scream in bed, it made him sick to his stomach.
"I'll stop seeing him. But I can't date you Tucker… or you Danny… I'm a dirty girl, you two deserve better"- said Sam.
Not aware of a very happy redhead listening around the corner with a long smile drawn on her face, to proof her words were true she called her aunt telling her she would no longer babysit Stacy, hence there wasn't an excuse for Brian to visit.
Tucker watch how Sam also called Brian telling him not see her again, it was the last time they ever did it, of course Tucker interpreted the conversation as "the first and last time," the boy pleaded not to stop their special relationship, begging her to know what he did wrong, but Sam insisted on never doing it again.
"That bastard! He took advantage of you Sam, you didn't do anything wrong. I still love you, and I'll wait until your ready"- said Tucker as Danny patted Sam on the shoulder telling her to take her time and get her head straight.
Danny watches at his dark skin friend pulled Sam away knowing it was by far better, now at least she could start anew whether it was with Tucker or Brian, it didn't matter so long she was true to herself. Danny wasn't the one waiting for her on the other side but Tucker.
"Had no idea she was going through something like that"- said Jazz as Danny came up to her.
Taken by surprise the boy took a few steps back as he shower himself in his sister's perfect image, walking back home hand in hand felt like bliss for both of them, a year ago to be seen walking by the hand of his sister would have been the ultimate humiliation but now Danny couldn't care if any one from his class saw him.
Though the Sam detail was fix, he still needed to attend to his father's issues. Danny needed to confront the man about the idea of taking Jazz over to work at the strip club, the sole idea made his stomach retch.
Hidden in the shadow of Jazz room, Jack knocked on the door, Danny was ready to intervene even if it meant knocking some senses into Jack, there was no way he could let him do this to her.
"I-I- I spoke with them and told them you're not doing this. I'm really sorry Jazz, I don't know what went through my head. We came to a deal, I'll sell the RV and some other stuff, and I'm gonna cut down my ghost investigation, I swear I'll never put you on the line again. Please forgive me"- said Jack as tears roll down his eyes.
"Sure, I forgive you. But I'm gonna spent the night with Danny, hope you don't mind"- replied the redhead as her father told her, "anything you want."
Ten minutes later Jazz came into Danny's room without caring to knock, his baby blue eyes met with the sight of his sister wearing her pink pajamas, though she quickly tossed them to the side after locking the door.
It took Danny only a single minute to be at his knees licking her vagina like a hungry dog, days without Jasmine's touch and seeing once again Sam in bed with another guy made him ever so lustful for his own sister who kindly returns the favor.

"How are things going at home Jazz?"- asked Penelope as she brews tea in her office.
Her replies as always were robotic in nature, direct and to the point, never giving out more than needed. Penelope still hadn't been able to breach the girl's defenses, no matter how many times she offers her tea, not once had she accepted.
Sam on the contrary was far more susceptible, she didn't doubt in telling her about her sexual relationships, even the doctor was impressed on how active the goth was. Though on their last session she did mention about being found out by her best friend.
Naturally the boy didn't take it kindly but had the decency of not ratting her out to her "official" boyfriend. Though it was a one-side agreement as Sam hadn't accepted his request for a formal relationship and yet Tucker told everyone about dating her.
"And how's things with Danny? Are you two getting along?" - Continued asking the woman.
"Things are wonderful."- Simply replied the redhead.
Once again, she refuses to accept the tea Penelope made specially for her, it was something that was getting to her nerves very quickly, the woman with strange red hair walk behind Jazz as she gently put her hand over her shoulders.
"Close your eyes and breathe deep"- gently order Penelope.
Doubtful of the woman, Jazz still close her eyes and relax as she took a deep breath, unbeknown to her Penelope smile wickedly as her eyes glow a blood red, her grip tightens over Jazz's slender shoulders.
A powerful electrical shock zap unto Penelope's hands burning her palms in a black crisp, Jazz jerked away from the leather couch in a painful screech, without thinking it twice she punches Penelope's face as hard as her hands let her.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!"- screamed Jazz.
With her shoulders slightly burned, Jazz storms away from the office slamming the door without caring if Penelope's hand were the most burn. Shock by the pain, the psychiatrist stares in disbelieve.
"It never happened before. I even snacked on Sam yesterday, so why did this happened"- said the woman as she peels the skin of her hands in the sink.
A few seconds later her secretary rushes in asking what happened, claiming Jazz was furious and saying she would never come back, but Penelope buried her hand inside the sink telling the woman, the girl had a teenage outburst and to ignored it.
Once alone she pulls her hands out from the sink to see the skin peeling off, Penelope walks over to her purse and takes a small yet very sharp scalpel, knowing her next appointment was due in an hour and the door lock.
She proceeded to cut around her wrists, slowly peeling off a thick layer of skin revealing the blackest muscle tissue eyes had ever seen. For a moment she glances at her ebony hands before putting light blue gloves over them.
Storming away furiously to her car Jazz drives back home, cursing at the mediocre so-called psychiatrist for having zapped with her with something, she passes her hand over the shoulder noticing a small burn on her favorite blouse.
"The fuck is wrong with that bitch. Wanting to give me electric therapy"- scoffed Jazz.
She wonders if Penelope was trying to used electroconvulsive therapy on her, perhaps it was her last attempt on "fixing" her head, still it was something Jazz didn't agree to. At least she managed to land a good punch on her exuberantly doll up face.
Once inside her house she notices her father sitting on the couch staring at the television, it wouldn't have been a strange sight given the fact the device was turn off, before going to see Danny who was playing videogames in his room, she needed to calm down.
A good cold glass of milk work wonders for her, as she pours herself a glass Jazz notices her mother texting to someone, the woman wasn't so keen on using text for almost anything as she was much old time, hence preferring to personally call.
Trying to forget about her little incident with Penelope, Jazz crawls over Danny's bed as he surfs the internet, figuring she would have to explain what happened to her mother later on when she wasn't busy.
The rest of Saturday was boring, only fooling around with Danny made her day improve greatly. Minutes before dinner Maddie knocks on Danny's door and calls them over to the table.
"Cumming!" replied Danny as Jazz had his manhood deep within her throat.
If she could live on her brother's seed she would, but her body demanded regular food. The smell of pasta was strong even at the stairs, upon coming down Jazz and Danny noticed their father was still mindlessly watching the black screen of the television.
As Maddie walk out of the kitchen with a casserole loud banging was heard on the main door, Jazz and Danny both had an idea of who it could be, yet they held in to the idea it was a rude visitor.
Though before anyone could answer, men wearing black leather jackets welcome themselves inside, Maddie was the first to demand to know who they were and what they wanted, Danny quickly stood in front of Jazz ready to strike at the intruders.
Before the boy could to anything, Jack instantly step in between them calming his wife and kids, the large man had a scared face one rarely seen in his always overly happy face, with both hands up front he walks slowly towards the men.
"I already made a deal with mister Frederick. Jazz is not going anywhere, I even gave half of the owed interest, he said he wait."- pleaded Jack.
"New deal. The kid comes with us, don't worry we'll bring her back tomorrow"- said a third man with long black hair walking inside the house.
Jack pleaded with the man not to take his daughter away, but instead to take any valuable in the house, anything he wanted in place of Jazz. The long hair man smiles and tells him that he's not interested in his worthless garbage.
For once his large size was out to good use as Jack pick up the man by the neck screaming at him, "You will not take my little girl!" days ago he was willing to escort her to the club and even see her dance naked just to be sure no one tried anything stupid on her.
Jack may be an idiot but he wasn't stupid, he knew what the long hair man intended with Jazz, it seem obvious someone wanted to sleep with her and the whole dancing thing was a ruse to make Jack bring her to the club.
A powerful electric current course across Jack's large body making him shake violently, falling to the ground with foam leaking from his mouth he sees the two thugs walk over him heading straight to Jazz, as the long hair man puts away his stun gun.
"Beat it kid, your sister got work to do"- said one of the thugs with the second man close behind and their long hair leader adjusting his suit.
The moment he stretches his hand pass Danny, the redhead quickly grabs him by the wrist and stabs his hand with the table knife though unsharpened, the blade still pierces his hand all the way through.
Unaware of what his sister just did seconds earlier, Danny punches the man under his chin with all his strength, he could feel the bone and teeth break under his fist as he lifted the man from the ground.
The second man pulled out his handgun though before he could open fire Maddie rushed towards him, she jumps and spins in the air as she gives him a flying kick straight to his face, tossing him to the floor.
The long hair man watches in sheer awe as he had expected the Fenton's to be complete pushovers but instead their prey stab one of his men, and her brother finished the job by knocking him out.
Maddie too had joined the fight as she kicked away the second man, while a fourth muscular man ran inside the house having heard the ramble going on. Armed with the guns of the thugs the woman aims as she orders the long hair man and his thug to take his trash away.
Jack awoke to the sight of a muscular man hunchback like an orangutan taking two unconscious men, one over his shoulder and the other being dragged by the ankle, the black long hair man watches Jack getting up from the floor.
"You're gonna regret this"- said Frederick's right hand man.
Slamming the door shut and hearing the car speed away, the first thing Maddie did upon seeing her husband stand up is to slap him across the face, Jack's ghost obsession had put the family's finance in danger but now he crossed a line.
The man's obsession had put Jasmine's wellbeing in danger as criminal thugs came to pick her in order to pay her father's debts, both Maddie and Danny knew they wanted to prostituted the girl.
Jazz didn't hold her tongue as she spoke about her father wanting to take her to work at a strip club, Maddie was furious upon hearing about Jack trying to turn her daughter into a stripper.
Just like her redhead daughter, Maddie blames her husband for this mess and belittles him for trying to force Jazz to become a stripper just to pay his own debts, it was the very first time either Jazz and Danny ever saw their mother so angry.
"What were you gonna do if they wanted to turn Jazz into a whore?!" yell Maddie.
Jack couldn't speak as he knew it was all his fault, if he had half the brain he was suppose to, none of this would have ever happen in the first place. Maddie demanded to know how much he owes them and where they were, the man didn't want to speak but fell under her pressure.
"Little more than 200,000" – said Jack as he explains about a strip club in downtown.
The woman wanted to go to the police but Danny show her the police badge he recently pick up from the floor, knowing crooked cops were involved made her fall to her knees, Maddie knew something had to be done but what.
The first order of business was to get Jazz to safety, Maddie call Vlad over despite Jack's disapproval. Pride never let him take money from Vlad even now but Maddie was in charge of the situation as her husband failed miserably.
As they get ready to go see Vlad at his office, Maddie glances out the window searching for the thugs, Jack decides to come clean and tells her just how much he owes the bank and the loan sharks, she turns pale upon hearing such a huge amount of money was owed.
Not even selling their house would they come close to pay it off, the man finally realized just how much trouble he brought upon his family in his quest for the paranormal, it was time for him to lower his head and asked Vlad for help.
An hour later Maddie and her family arrived at Townhall after giving the man a brief call, Vlad's personal assistant and her "daughter" were expecting them at the gates, it was the first time either Danny and Jazz were at Townhall, only ever seeing it on television.
"What's going on?" questioned the girl as Jazz wraps her arm around her brother telling it was some adult-related problem.
"Don't be like that, we're almost family"- replied Danielle as she plays with Danny's hair.
The only reason the redhead didn't pommel the smaller teen was due to Danny holding her hand, even so she swirls her brother gently to the side as she reminded the girl about this only being their second time meeting.
As the two girls stare each other down while Danny sigh in defeat, Maddie and Jack walk inside the Mayor's office, upon hearing the stupidity Jack did and though delighted to know Jazz was in grave danger he did all humanly possible as to not burst out laughing.
Vlad knew to take an opportunity when he saw one, Jack's ultimate blunder was his stepping stone into making Maddie his wife and Danny his son, but the redhead was also part of the package so he considered simply sending the girl to an overseas school, using her high intellect as an excuse.
Jack had put everything in a silver platter for Vlad to take, Maddie was more than angry with him and so was Danny. Jasmine didn't really matter but if she had an unfortunate accident at the hands of these loan sharks such as getting killed, would serve him all the better.
After doing something like this it would be almost impossible for Maddie to forgive him, but she had overlooked many things in the past, there wasn't any need for a convoluted planning, no need for Danielle to seduce Danny or to forge the paternity test if proven negative.
"You are aware that the Mayor of Amity can't be seen dealing with these thugs, so we'll have to be very discreet. I won't used city money but my own, and I will personally take it to them"- said Vlad.
Desiree argue against such a preposterous plan, the woman with caramel skin understood why he wanted to used his own money but to go and deliver it himself was by far absurd, he could easily send anyone to deliver the cash.
Knowing the risk of delivering the money himself, Vlad did so out of a sense of masculinity. Wanting to show Maddie how a real man solves this kind of problems, to show his bravery and macho side, though primitive, it was what he though his lover needed to see.
It would take Desiree up to half an hour to round up the cash for Vlad, so the family headed over to the waiting room where Jazz and Danny where expecting them, Maddie pull Jasmine away from Danny as she took his place in hugging the redhead.
"I'll be right back, gonna see uncle Vlad and go to the bathroom"- said Danny with a half-smile.
Jazz tried to pull herself away from her mother's embrace but the woman held on tightly, Danny soon disappear from sight as he turns around the corner, despite it being already nine o'clock, there was a large number of people.
No one gave him a sideways glance as he walks down the hallway and straight into the bathroom, hidden inside one of the stalls, Danny transforms into his alter ego; Phantom and flies out of Townhall.
(XXXXXX)
Under the black sky and a shy moon that hides behind clouds is a nightclub down a dark alleyway, a couple of neon lights in form of dancing women illuminate the entrance while two large bold men guard said entrance.
Passing beyond the dancing girls and drunken men, just a few meters from the bar and a passed-out man was yet another door with a single guard who shared the same fashion sense as his peers.
"What the fuck do mean you couldn't get the little bitch, Hans!"- said Frederick to his second in charged.
The man with long hair stares at his boss as tries to explain how Jack's wife and son beat up two of his men, very same that were in an underground clinic being treated, though one might not survive.
"Fred, I already paid five grand for that pussy."- said a morbidly obese man sitting on the couch with his hand over the shoulder of a young boy.
The man's son wanted to have his first time with a redhead, but he didn't want some random hooker picked up from the street instead he wanted a fresh young girl, the boy though no older than fifteen was no less deprave as his father.
Frederick regretted as much as he was surprise that his wooden floor hadn't given up and broken at the nearly two hundred kilograms the man weight, even more surprise by his son who weight just twenty kilos under his father.
It was only of coincidence that Frederick found out about Jack's daughter, it wouldn't be the first father that sells his daughter to him, mister Fenton would have never agreed to prostituted his daughter but he hoped to trick the guy.
Bringing the girl under the excuse of making her dance on stage, perhaps she'll be horny enough at the end of the night that she would give in, though she might have to put on a blindfold.
The fat teen not only was morbidly obese but ugly as fuck, for his face not only had an unfair number of zits but also warts, crooked teeth and his dislike for bath made Frederick wrinkle his nose constantly.
"Come on Gruber, I got plenty of pussy here, pick any other"- said the one eye man as he didn't like the fact that his client was costing so much more than what he's worth.
But the boy began ranting childly as he constantly said he wanted his first time with Jazz, had he been Frederick's boy he would slap him around for acting like a whiney little bitch.
"Why the fuck did I show him the picture"- whispered Frederick.
The one eye man had the habit of photographing the families of those he loans money to, just in case they wanted to run off. Gruber being a long-time friend and very good client, though his girls always threw-up after servicing him brought his son.
It didn't matter if Frederick offer his best girl, none of the fat guys were taking, in his words Jazz was a newbie and wouldn't perform correctly but his top girl would rock his world.
"No! No! I want..." before the fat could finish a loud thump was heard over the table.
Frederick, his guards and the two client's attention was drawn to a boy dress in a skintight black suit and a white porcelain mask, with open mouths all stare at this kid who came out from literal thin air, his glowing green eyes shine from within the mask.
"I'm here to pay off Jack Fenton's debt"- said Phantom.
Rumors of a ghost-like vigilante had spread like wildfire throughout Amity Park and its underworld, ever since the biker's gang slaughter, Phantom looks over to the fat boy who was demanding to have his sister taken to him.
His ranting dies down upon seeing Phantom's green glowing eyes before turning back to Frederick. The clacking sounds of coins hitting the desk and the floor echo throughout the room. Danny let a handful of coins worth nearly twenty dollars fall over the desk, never had Frederick been so insulted in his life.
"Take the silver or take the lead"- continued Phantom as he quotes a movie line.
Danny knew what was doing might be seen as wrong but Jazz had already been kidnapped once and as far as he knew she had suffered two rape attempts, now his idiot of a father had let this wannabe pimp into their house.
There was no way he could ignore him, men like Frederick would never stand down even if facing death itself. Danny didn't care for his father's debts; all he care for was his sister's wellbeing and safety.
He just needed an excuse to carry out what he come to do in the first place, that's all he needed; an excuse. The one eye loan shark gave Phantom such excuse as he pulls his gun out from within his desk and fires multiple times, though each shot hit home none kill Phantom, not even moving him a single inch.
From his right-hand phantom manifested a long curve green blade, Frederick single eye widen as the boy with white hair rose the sword up high, ready to slice him down, at that moment a couple of strippers walked in.
Both loudly arguing about their tips, though they weren't allowed to simply barge in, their presence made Phantom be distracted for a single second, enough time for the guards to snap out of their shock and draw out their weapons to defend their boss.
In any other occasion Frederick would have slapped the girls around for interrupting, now he was more than willing to kiss them both. Phantom turn intangible just a few inches before the first bullet could pierce him.
The fat clients tried to run away, but in their efforts, Gruber got stuck on the door as one of the strippers was standing there at the moment, his fat body and the girl couldn't pass at the same time.
"Boss! Get inside the panic room!"- said Hans terrified.
Knowing the main door was block away, the one eye wannabe mobster listens to his bodyguard as he opens a hidden door behind the wall, abandoning his men to the vigilante. Running down the stairs he could hear how Phantom was slaughtering his men, the gunfire die down.
"So… you're the guys that wanted to fuck my beautiful Jasmine?"- said Phantom.
Gruber was still trying to unstuck himself from the doorframe, Danny turns his eyes to the stripper that got stuck in the door with Gruber, he sighs upon seeing she had suffocated to death, while her coworker whimper in the corner as her tears ruined her makeup.
Phantom turns his attention to the morbidly fat teen, just pass beyond the dismember bodies was the Gruber's son scratching the door where Frederick fled to, the boy soils himself as the white hair devil walks closer.
"Please don't hurt me! Daddy said I could have her for my birthday, but I'll take another."- Pleaded the fat teen as his already ugly face got wet with his tears.
"Oink, oink, oink. That's all I hear."- replied Phantom as he came closer.
He was furious, first that idiot of Dash, then Johnny and now this walking lard. Danny may have failed to protect Sam once but now he could do a preventive strike. The fat boy continues telling Phantom how he could just ask for any other redhead in town, it didn't have to be Jazz anymore.
Which meant another innocent girl would be taken from her home so this pig could have his birthday present, it sickens him to know people like him existed, the boy and his father saw as well as the one eye snake all saw women as simply merchandize.
"Squeal pig!"- yell Danny as he kicks the boy many times stopping only upon seeing him vomit blood.
Danny couldn't help but imagine this walking piece of lard over his sister, ripping her clothes off, forcing his disgusting body over her. The sole idea gave him the sensation of vomiting.
Gruber couldn't see what was happening but he knew judging by the shrieks and cries of his son that he was being killed, the man begged Phantom to stop, to let his innocent boy go, he offers money, truckloads of it.
The only sounds that remain in the room were the soft cries of the stripper, the fat teen had stopped making noise but he could hear the footsteps of the vigilante, it surprise Gruber greatly to not see anymore guards already storming in.
"I only want justice"- whispered Phantom as he put the severed head of his son over his shoulder.
Weeping like a child Gruber vows to killed him even if he spends up to the last penny he owns, a piercing pain makes its way through his back and out his stomach, he could see the green tip from the sword Phantom used to kill the guards.
"No one is touching her. She's mine"- whispered Phantom before pulling out the blade.
The stripper aims and cocks a gun she took from a dead guard, the woman threatens Phantom as she shakes the pistol. The masked white hair boy takes a single step in her direction with intention of taking the firearm from her.
She knew what the white devil would do to her if he came closer, without giving it much time she turns the gun to her side and blows her brains out. She was absolutely sure she too would suffer the same horror as the rest.
With a deep breath, Danny carries on in search of the mastermind, the clients were dead but he was sure Frederick would take revenge on his family if not dealt with, the thick steel door meant nothing to Danny as he easily phases through.
"Nicolai! Wake your boy up, we got serious shit!"- ordered Frederick as he enters in a hidden basement.
The room was stuffed with computers and other electronics that resemble more of a sci-fi comic than a strip club basement. In the far end of the basement was a man with unruly white hair, a white lab coat and pair of black goggles typing on a computer.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to interrupted me"- said Nicolai.
"How in the fuck do you open this damn thing!"- asked Frederick franticly as he hit a large glass pod
The white hair man doesn't answer as he points out the reason his boss is so scare, the man turns over to see Phantom floating in the air. Nicolai knew there weren't any strings to help do this trick.
Frederick tried to gun down the vigilante, but like before the bullets couldn't do anything, but unlike the one eye man, Nicolai was more fascinated than afraid of this little monster.
"Hi, I'm Nicolai Technus. What's your name boy?"- said the man as he walks over to a control panel.
"…Phantom."- Replied the boy as he landed on the floor.
"Don't know why you want to kill my boss but I can't allow that, you see he pays the bills."- Continued the man.
The large pod Frederick was trying to open earlier, began to open on itself as smoke comes out covering the floor. Danny's eyes open wide as he sees a huge mechanical man climbs out.
"Skulker!"- yells Phantom out as Nicolai asks if their acquainted.
The deep green eyes of the mechanical monster glances all over the place, he finally stops upon seeing Phantom. Yet Frederick stands next to Skulker, his face filled with glee and joy.
"Now you're fu…"- before he could finish his sentence Skulker punches his head right off his shoulders.
"Oh, for crying out loud."- said Technus.
Skulker pulled out from his large arm a small machinegun, bullets flew towards Danny but seeing it didn't do anything to his intangible form, the mechanical beast ceases his attack and opens a compartment on his shoulder.
The last time they fought he was far too weakened and exhausted to actually give a real battle; his sister took priority over everything else but now he was fresh and strong. He knew he could take Skulker now, there wasn't anything in his way.
Phantom's eyes move over to a glowing green orb, Skulker aims his machinegun and opens fire again. Green bullets come flying to him, feeling impending doom the boy jumps to the side.
He begins to fly over the lab while dodging the green bullets, Skulker follows close with his machinegun, forcing the boy to take cover behind a pillar. His left side hurt just under his rib cage.
Phantom looks in sheer horror as blood flows slowly out of a hole a bullet made. Never had he been shot nor ever felt himself in so much danger, he began to shake and quiver, thanks to his ghostly powers he could withstand the pain that would have brought any man to his knees. The pillar he chose as cover began to break as Skulker continue shooting.
"Don't do it! you damn scrap!" yelled Nicolai.
Danny slowly moves his head around the nearly broken pillar, Skulker was aiming his rockets at Phantom. In a more normal circumstance, this would be nothing to fear but if that orb powered the rockets just like the bullets, he'd be in a world of pain.
Just above Technus lab was the strip club where dozens of men and women enjoy the night, completely unaware of the ongoing battle just a few meters below them, a mean looking man walk over to the bold guard.
"The boss still up there?"- questioned the man as he lit a cigar.
"Yeah, important meeting or some shit"- replied the bold guard.
The floor suddenly moves making the men stopped talking, the strippers stops dancing as well as the patrons, people look around questioning if an earthquake just occurred.
"Nothing to worry about folks. The party go…"- the DJ was interrupted as the bar area blew up.
The whole floor sank down pulling dozens of people to certain death, Phantom was toss out from the hole, his suit damage and from his mask blood drip out, some of the guards rather than helping him, aim their pistols.
But the mechanical shirring pulls their attention from Phantom to a huge robot, those lucid enough chose to film the metal monster rather than running away like any sane person would.
Guards, patrons and even some stripper drew firearms of all sizes and shot at the robot, the bullets ricochet on impact without harming Skulker in the least. Not wanting to waste the orbs energy he withdraws it.
Rockets and bullets soar all over the club bringing death to all, armed or unarmed. From within the dust clouds came out Phantom slashing its chest before retreating back into the dust.
"Phantom…mother…fucker"- said Skulker in his robotic voice.
Using the disco lights and the dust in his favor, Phantom slashes its back twice before hiding. Skulker's infrared scanners couldn't pick up on Phantom's trail, even so the robot shot down anyone that was unfortunate enough to appear in his radar.
"Fucking… camper… come… out"- added Skulker as he shot down a couple of semi dress girls.
"Looking for me tinman"- replied Danny as he pierces Skulker with his energy blade just like he did with Gruber.
Not wanting to give up, Skulker grabs Phantom by the leg and slams him against a pole before throwing him against the wall, half his mask was broken, blood had soaked his suit.
Phantom looks to the left and sees a bare-chested woman trembling uncontrollably behind a large piece of floor, the whirring sound of a weapon being powered up calls out to him.
The boy couldn't stand up as he was much too tired to try and get up, the green orb on Skulker was glowing, Danny put out his right hand straight at Skulker. Cursing he couldn't fire energy rays like his comic book heroes.
Danny scream as he gather energy to at least make a shield to cover himself from in the upcoming attack, much to his surprise rather than making a shield he instead lets loose of the energy.
Though it doesn't dissipate like normal, it conserves its form and flies straight into Skulker's canon, blowing up his entire arm. Phantom couldn't believe what his eyes were showing him.
"My god! That's an energy ray! I did it! I fire an energy ray!"- said Phantom passionately as the stripper gave him a half smile just to avoid pissing him off.
"Catastrophic… damage… need…repair"- said the metal man fading away.
The strip club was on fire, many lay dead, and police sirens could be heard even among the roaring flames. Seeing the only living person ran out let Danny fly away. It didn't go as plan; he was just to kill the men that threaten Jazz, not to destroy an entire building or to engage in a deadly dual with a robot.
It had taken him more than an hour to cause so much damage, he had no idea as to how he would explain his prolonged absence or the bruises, there was also the bullet wound in his side and the many cuts around his body.
That explanation would have to wait as Townhall was on fire.

"I am impressed, seriously Big sis." Said Ember McLain as she glides down from the sky.
The lounge area in the second floor was torn apart as fires engulf the floor below, insane people at the main gate trying to enter into Townhall, some shooting guns while others tossing Molotov cocktails at the police.
"I been thinking, why did Danny reject me? The answer, YOU. If I get rid of you, Danny will come running to me. Gotta say you're like a cockroach, quite hard to kill"- said Ember looking at Jazz.
The redhead was holding just above her head over half a ton of wall and roof with her bare hands, that alone should have squashed the redhead like the bug Ember believes her to be, but instead she holds it up with her trembling arms.
And despite the weight and unbearable heat, Jazz pushes the debris to the side, her eyes glow in a neon green. Ember walks in closer as she tones her guitar strings, preparing to battle the redhead.
"There's only one Danny and two of us. Guess you gotta go"- said Ember.
To be continue.
