Chapter Five

Dennis and Angel both received phone calls from the hotel's front desk at 7 in the afternoon. They were told that the plane was leaving for New Jersey at 9:00. The both of them got ready, grabbed their stuff, checked out the hotel and got into the limo for the ride back. Dennis was still thinking about Angel's tattoos. "She said it was personal but I really want to know why she has them." he thought.

They arrive at the airport and was hurridly onto the small aircraft that was going to take them to their next spot. Since they was leaving from the New York, they was expecting a short plane ride. They later found out that they was heading for the southern part of New Jersey. "Do you know anything about this ghost?" Angel asked, flipping through a airline magazine.

"No but we probably will soon." Dennis answered.

"I hope this one is harmless."

"Me too. Who would have thought that a eight year ghost would cause so much harm?"

"When it's being captured."

"You got a point."

The airline waiteress came up to the both of them and handed Dennis a white folded piece of paper before walking away. "Okay. . . that was a little strange." he said. He open unfolded the paper and show it to Angel.

"Okay. We looking for two ghosts in New Jersey. Great, just great." she said.

"What's their names?"

" Jimmy 'The Gambler' Gambino and Susan LeGrow. LeGrow sounds southern."

"Maybe her family didn't like the south."

"Hardly anybody does."

Four hours later they arrive at a local airport in a small town called Silent Springs. The name fitted the name perfectly since hardly anything happens there. They saw a limo waiting for them outside the aiport and got in, wondering where on earth they was going.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They got out the limo and noticed that they was at the beach. "Is this the wrong time to say a joke about the New Jersey shore?" Angel said, walking up to where Cyrus's men had the cube and speakers at.

"Yeah, I think it is." Dennis said.

"Awww. My two workers. Here take the glasses and put it on. Angel, touch this card hand for me please." Cyrus said, greeting the two with glasses and card hand. Angel carefully grabbed the cards from him and instantly grabbed her head as a headache started.

*~*A bookie, a large bet, boxing match, gang members, man being dragged, on a pier, man wrapped in cellophane, cut up into pieces, thrown into the ocean*~*

Angel threw the cards down and still kept a hold on her head. Dennis took out a bottle of white pills and started to hand one to her before Cyrus knocked out his hand.

"I need you two clear-headed! If you are not clear-headed how am I suppose to find him?" he snarled.

"What do you mean him? He's cut up into a million pieces!" Angel said, trying not to make her headache worse.

"All I need is his torso."

"What's the story on him?" Dennis asked, watching Angel suffer through her headache.

"His name wa Jimmy 'The Gambler' Gambino. He became a bookie since, well he father was one. This one gang member called 'The Finger' asked him to place a large bet on boxer that very unlikely to win a match. But Jimmy couldn't resist and seal the deal. When Jimmy saw his boxer take a blow, he fainted. When he woke 'The Finger' and his gang wanted their money. When they found out Jimmy didn't have the money, they decided to make examples of him. Several of them, since Ms. Aria noticed that our guest is chopped up and wrapped in cellophane."

"That is just wrong and sick. Are we catching Susan LeGrow tonight too?" Angel asked.

"Yes we are. We're going to a high school not too far from here. Now go do what you are being pay to do."

Dennis and Angel walked along the shoreline of the beach looking for Jimmy pieces. It only took ten minutes to find Jimmy's torso and his head. It took fifteen minutes for Jimmy to crawl into the cube once that chants started to play.

"Easiest one to catch." Cyrus said, smiling after Jimmy was trapped.

"Can you tell me please about the rest of the ghosts and the rest they carry?" Angel said, walking towards the limo with Dennis.

"Well our next ghost isn't much of a hassle for you but for Dennis she is. Susan isn't very fond of men."

"How come she doesn't like men?" Dennis asked, a bit worried.

"You'll find out when we get there." Cyrus got into his car while Angel and Dennis got into the limo.

"Okay. It's offical. I must have lost my damn mind." Angel said.

"You haven't lost your mind. Cyrus has. Besides, he hasn't told us why he is collecting them in the first place." Dennis said.

"True but why would he want twelve ghosts? These twelve in particular?"

"I don't know but we probably will find out soon."

In Cyrus car, he was talking on a cell phone. "Yes my dear. We already got the First Born Son and Torso. We're on a way to capture the Bound Woman. Now what are the other ghosts I need?" he said.

"The Withered Lover, which of course is your nephew's wife, the Torn Prince, Angry Princess, Pilgrimess, Great Child, Dire Mother, Hammer, Jackal and Juggernanut." said a young woman on the other end.

"Thank you. Without you, I would be lost. Remember what the plan is when we get the tweleth ghost."

"I won't. Good-bye Cyrus."

"Goodbye." Cyrus and the woman hung up. Cyrus grinned as he had somebody helping him secretly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was nearing 11 when they reached Pine Rows High School's football field. Angel, Dennis and Cyrus headed for the bleachers while the black suited guys set everything up on the football field. Cyrus was carrying a prom queen tiara in his hand. Of course, neither Angel or Dennis wanted to touch it but one of them had to.

"Here Dennis, take this." Cyrus said, handing it to him.

Dennis looked at Cyrus and sighed before grabbing the tiara. He quickly grabbed his head and fell to his knees once he had hold on the tiara.

*~*Prom night, girl is crowned, date excited, queen in another guy's arms, date mad, boy clubbed to death, girl bound, strangled by date's tie, buried on the field*~*

Dennis threw the tiara far from him and bent forward as the pain got stronger. He knew this ghost was going to tried to kill at least every guy here. "I'm not going on that field!" he yelled, slowly getting up as he still felt pain.

Angel looked at Dennis and wonder what would make him say that. She took a deep breath and walked over to where Dennis threw the tiara. She took a look at it before bending up to pick it up. Dennis watched her and tried to stop her. Angel fell to her knees and held her head as she saw the same visions that Dennis saw.

She quickly threw the tiara away from her as Dennis came to her side. "Now why you do that for?" he asked her.

"To see what you see." she answered.

Cyrus walked over to them, staring down at them. He didn't care about how much pain they was in, he just wanted his ghost. "Susan LeGrow was the most popular girl in town, due to the fact her parents' were the richest people in town. Susan love go through random men as if it was a game to her. Her friends warn her about it. But only if she had listen to her friends. It was prom night and she was crowned queen. Chet, her boyfriend and her prom date, was very excited until later that night. He saw Susan in another boy's arms. The papers had reported about the boy being clubbed to death and Susan being missing. Two weeks later they found poor Susan's body, bound and her neck broken, under the football fifty foot yard line."

"And that is why she isn't too fond of men." Dennis said, sighing as his pain went away.

"Yes." Cyrus said.

"So you're gonna risk Dennis life to capture this one?" Angel said.

"Of course. If it was just you, she may never come out. Now onto the field."

Dennis and Angel walked down the bleachers and started to walk on the football field, with the glasses they never took off before. Dennis kept looking around him, making sure he wasn't going to be attacked. Angel just look forwarded as she walked. Before Dennis was about Angel something, he was flung back thirty yards. Angel turned around and saw Susan, or the Bound Woman, going after Dennis.

"Hey! Hey ghost bitch! He didn't do anything!" she yelled as she ran for Dennis.

Dennis had a small seizure before being flung back thirty yards. He was laying flat on his back when he saw Susan with her pale body and broken neck floating above him.

"Shit!" he thought as he got up. Susan went after him and decided to make him fly into the goalpost nearby. Dennis felt himself go up into the air and made contact with the metal pole that support the upper part of the goalpost. He thought he was dying as soon he hit the ground and blacked out.

Angel was frightened and pissed. When she made over to Dennis blacked out body, Susan got angry. She finally took down a man and this woman was spoiling her fun. Susan lifted Angel thirty feet into the air and made her face her. Cyrus was shouting out orders to his men as he watched this go on. Susan looked at Angel and made it clear that she should have stay back. Angel was scared to death and looked down at Dennis's body. She heard the all familar chants play and was suddenly falling towards the ground.

Susan decided to leave her alone as the chants started to play. She was in the cube and the chants stopped. Angel hit the ground with a hard impact right next to Dennis and blacked out too. "You four! Take them to a nearby hospital. I can't afford to lose them now!" Cyrus yelled after seeing the both of them not move. Four black suited guys carefully picked up Angel and Dennis and put them in the back of a van before driving off towards a hospital.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dennis slightly groaned as he woke up. He took a look around and saw that he was in a hospital. He rubbed his head as he sat up. The last thing he remembe was Angel running towards him before getting smacked into the goalpost. He quickly wonder if Angel was okay. He looked towards the bed that was across from him and saw Angel in it with her eyes closed.

He got out of the bed and walked over to hers. He stood on the right side of it and looked down on her. He wanted to know what happen to her to make her end up here. He touched her right hand and suddenly saw visions but without any pain.

*~*Angel kneeling besides him, Susan getting mad, Angel up thirty feet, Angel falling, blacks out*~*

Dennis was shocked. He wonder how he could see that when he never sees anything when she is awake. Before he pulled his hand away, he saw some more visions.

*~*A litte girl pleading, parents walking away, car accident, little girl crying, much older girl holding little girl, little girl blaming herself for death*~*

He pulled his hand away and wondered who was the little girl. He saw Angel waking up and for the first time in his life, he actually cared about somebody else. Angel slowly opened her eyes and saw Dennis standing over her. She gave him a small smile. They both stood in silence, trying to figure out what to do next.

He took a deep breath and started to lean in towards her. Angel had no problem with this as she was waiting to feel his lips against hers. His lips made contact with hers and he finally had his first normal kiss. It was soft and warm but short. He leaned back and looked at her. "So this is what you meant by 'We'll meet again'." he said.

"Yeah, I guess so."

They both heard cough and looked to see Cyrus standing in the room. "Had he been there the whole time?" Angel thought as she sat up.

"I'm glad to see the two of you are okay. But remember what I am paying you to do. Besides, our next ghost is in this very hospital so get ready." With that, Cyrus walked out the room. Dennis took of the spectral viewers and put on his regular glasses.

"Great. Now he's going to be harder on us. As if we really need that." he said.

"I know. He's especially hard on you," Angel said. "What hospital are we in by the way?"

"I think St. Luke's Hospital. Why?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to know." Angel feel a part of her hurt as she remember this was the hospital her parents died in the day of their deaths. "Come on. I'll walk with you to where we got to meet Cyrus." Dennis said.

"Okay." She slowly got out of bed and walked with Dennis out the hospital room, not really ready to catch the fourth ghost in the hospital.
