Chapter 3 - The Case of the Prophet
Troy looked down at his laptop as he typed in a few keys, Tom looked back at him from the drivers seat.
"Updating?" Tom asked in regards to Troys website.
"Yep.. News promised everyday... Even if the news is lackin'." Troy answered.
Egon finally spoke up after 10 minutes of being completely silent, "Ray has a van with some of our researching equipment in it. The four of us will then head down to Central Park to begin the research."
"What research?" Troy asked, "A Ghost sighting?"
Egon nodded, "Poltergeist Intrusion, If you remember 2 months....." Egon was then interrupted by Troy, "2 months ago, a Poltergeist remains unseen until it wants to be seen, it is usually dealt with by religious methods including exorcism."
"Very good Troy. You've got the memory of a rat attached to an electric current."
Troy stared at Egon blankly from the back seat and just shook his head.
"So Doc, do we get to use those proton packs?" Tom asked with a grin.
"No." Egon said shaking his head, "You two will handle the research until you grow up."
and finished by saying, "We're here."
He pulled into the firehouse entrance and stopped the car.
"Holy crap!" Troy screamed, "It's the Ecto-1!! It's really here!" he said digging through his laptop carrying case, and digging out his digital camera. He jumped out of the car to go look at it, and snap as many pictures as he could on his disk.
Egon and Tom shook their heads almost simutaneously and got out of the car.
Egon looked over at the pole and saw a familiar face slide down. "Hey Raymond."
Ray nodded and pointed at the two unfamiliar people who were now looking over the old cadillac ambulance, "These the guys you wanted me to meet?"
"Hey, Tom and Troy, this is Ray."
The two came over and Tom shook his hand, "Wow it is an honor to meet you Sir.. Uhm.. My name is Tom Miller!"
Ray nodded and looked at Troy, "..and you are Troy."
"Yeah, Troy Benjamin, and its a great honor to meet you!"
"Like-wise. To you both." He then quickly turned his head to look at Egon, "Why these clowns here? We can handle this on our own!"
"Ray... Do you realize it has been 20 years since we started capturing ectoplasmic entities?"
"Egon, you only grow old if you allow yourself to grow old. We can handle this." Ray said looking at his old friend.
"That is a scientific impossibilty. Now let us stop arguing, these two can help us, and they will be rewarded with a good grade in my class."
Ray sighed, "Alright Tom.. Troy, we're going to perform a simple ghost hunt to see if what it is we are dealing with." He said as he opened the door to his van which was convienently parked behind the Gray Cavalier. He pulled out a few devices.
"This is a PKE Meter, Psycho-Kinetic Energy Meter, it is a bit more complex than an EMF detector... We'll be talking to Jason, the guy who had this encounter and walk the same path he did."
"What about the traps..and the Proton packs!" Tom asked.
"No Toys for you guys." Ray said, "If the time arises when you need to use it, we'll allow it, Now everyone in the van. We got a ghost to identify."
