6:12 PM
Dan had just got out of the shower, and got dressed. He came out of the sleeping quarters wearing a green sweatshirt under a black vest with a pair of khakis. He straightened his shirt under the vest as he was about to walk out the door, when Egon called out from behind him...
Egon: Daniel, where are you going?
Dan turned around to face the blonde physicist...
Dan: Oh, one of the girls we met wanted to ask me a couple of questions, and she asked if we could go out and talk about it.
Egon: And we were not informed of this date?
Dan: Speges, it's not a date! It's just two people wanting to get a little information out of each other. Besides, that's personal business. Not something for you to know.
Egon: Well, will you have your phone on you?
Dan: Yeah. Why?
Egon: If we need assistance, we'll call you.
Dan: I'm on call?! You bastard!
Egon: You didn't inform us ahead of time, so we didn't have time to arrange such a time off.
Dan: Egon, I'm already going to be working. This girl was having strange dreams, and she wanted my opinion on what it was.
Egon: And how is this personal if you're working?
Dan was stumped. Egon has done it again. He didn't answer, but simply walked out.

Lita's Apartment
6:54 PM
Dan waited outside of Lita's apartment. He leaned on the side of the pick- up, and yawned as he looked at his wrist watch. The truck looked much different than before, for the light bars on the top had been taken off, and the decals on the sides were removed. It was good that Dan thought of a way to put the lights on sliding tracks, and use magnets for the decals. Dan had turned around, and looked the other direction of the apartment. He looked up to the moon, and sighed.
Lita walked out, and saw Dan's back turned to her.
Lita: Hey, stranger.
Dan turned around, and almost had a heart attack from the sight he saw. She was wearing a green night dress, with her hair in a pony tail. Dan was nearly speechless...
Dan: Da... Da... Da...
Lita: Well, what do ya think?
Dan just blinked, and nodded his head. His eyes nearly popped out of his head, as he took another look.
Dan: God Damn! Are you trying to kill people?
Lita: Huh?
Dan: I heard of a knock out, but you're a killer! Guys are going to drop dead when you walk past!
Lita: I take it that's a good thing?
Dan: Would I be lying if I said, "No"?
Lita: Yes, you would be.
She proceeded towards the passenger door. Dan opened the door, and helped her in. When she took a seat in the truck, he closed the door, and walked around the back of the truck slowly as he talked to himself...
Dan: Jesus Christ! She is... Oh God! She's like a flippin' Goddess! Hold on, Dan... Keep your head! She just wants information...
Dan was about to open the door to the driver side, when one last thought came across his mind...
Dan: ...at least that's what I hope.
Dan got into the truck, and pulled out.

Dan and Lita had dined at a restaurant not too far from the ocean view.
Dan: So, your friends became disemboweled?
Lita: Yes. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen. And it was by the same man in the attire.
Dan: I don't know, the description of the guy you told me about sounds familiar. Have you seen him before?
Lita: No, but when I told my friends the dream, they knew him from somewhere in the past.
Dan: Hmm... It sounds all too familiar. I mean, like I've seen it, except from a different prospective.
Lita: Don't people have dreams like that, though?
Dan: Yeah. I had one like that about a week ago. I guess it's just coincidence.
Lita: Are you sure it's just nothing?
Dan: Well, I don't think it's something that might happen, but more of something of what happened. Did you have any enemies that had died? You know, that had a grudge against you and your friends?
This seemed more like a trick question to Lita. She thought it was a bit eccentric for a person to ask...
Lita: Me? Have enemies? What makes you think that?
Dan: Well, it has been apparent that some of the ghosts that have been caught by us had a grudge against our clients. It's nothing against you, its just a standard question.
Lita: Well, why is it happening to me? Do you have an idea?
Dan: It might of lead to something that has happened to the past, and it's just being resurfaced. When a thought tugs at you, it tries to get you to think of it, but when you push it off so much, the only last place you can see it is in your dreams. It happens sometimes.
Lita: Well, I don't have anyone mad at me, nor do I know anyone that has died that I know of.
Dan looked at Lita. His eyes were transfixed on her eyes. When Lita noticed it, she tried to get his attention...
Lita: Hey, you alright? Hello?
Dan: ::snaps out of trance:: Huh? Oh, sorry. I must of spaced out.
Now Lita's eyes became transfixed. She snapped herself out of it, and slightly shook her head...
Lita: I really don't know what it is, but I keep thinking I saw you somewhere before.
Dan: You know, it is kinda weird, but I thought I saw you somewhere before, too.
The both of them laughed.
Lita: Maybe in another life time.
Dan: It might have been just that.
They were just about to touch their hands, when the waiter came by, and dropped off the check. Dan took out his debit card, placed it into the tray, and handed it back to the waiter. Lita looked over to Dan's hand, and saw a scar above his knuckle on his thumb. She couldn't help but ask...
Lita: How did you get that scar?
Dan: Which one?
Lita: The one on your hand?
Dan: Oh, that? I got that about 2 months ago, while I was on a bust on the top floor of the Empire State Building. I was in the middle of trapping a ghost, when the ghost took a fence poll, and threw it at my head. I fell over the edge, and cut my hand on the fence that surrounded the observation deck.
Lita: Oh, god!
Dan: Yeah. Well, I fell about 20 floors, when Egon came up, and saved me with a special flight pack that he built. Well, that taught me never to go up into a tall building again.
The waiter came back with Dan's card. Dan put it back into his wallet, and both him and Lita walked out.

8:41 PM
Dan and Lita walked along the asphalt walkway of the park, right along the ocean view. Many of the people that were in the park that time of night were gone because of the disappearances. Few people were there, but was mostly empty. They both stopped and looked at the ocean, and the moon in the sky, as they talked...
Lita: Are you sure nothing is going to happen to us? I am a little nervous.
Dan: Aw, there's nothing to worry about. Most of this stuff didn't happen until at least midnight. Besides, I'll keep you safe.
Lita: You know, you're easy to talk to. It's like I can tell you anything.
Dan: When it comes down to it, I can be very trustworthy.
He grabbed her hand...
Dan: You can trust me.
They turned back to the sky. They saw the blanket of stars that filled the sky. Lita saw something moving. Looked like blinking lights in the sky. Then, she started to hear it. Her grip became tighter as the object became closer. Dan felt her hand squeeze tighter as the sound became louder.
A plane passed over, and her grip released. He started to feel her shaking, as her head lowered to the water. She let out a stressed sigh, as she pulled her hand away from Dan's. He noticed what was wrong.
Dan: What's the matter? You hate planes?
Lita was hesitant to answer. She looked over, and her eyes filled with tears.
Lita: My parents were killed in one when I was young.
Dan's eyes widened, as he turned back to the water, and ran his fingers through his hair...
Dan: Oh my god. I'm sorry.
Lita: Ever since the call came in, I've been afraid of planes. Nobody knows about it, not even my friends.
Dan: And they won't, until your ready to confess. I will act among them as if you never had told me, but will always remember.
Lita: Thank you. You don't know how that makes me feel.
Dan dried her tears with the sleeve of his shirt.
Lita: I'm sorry. I don't usually cry. That's not my ego.
Dan: Well, you're human, aren't ya? ::pause:: Look, it's alright to cry. When you don't cry, you're just denying the fact that it hurts. The reason we feel pain is to know that something is wrong. If you don't address it, it will never at least heal.
Lita looked at him. She realized he was right. She wrapped her arms around him, and buried her head in his chest, as she cried softly. He felt her shiver. He took off the black vest, and put it on her...
Dan: Here. I figured you'd need this.
Lita: Thank you. You're a real gentleman.
Dan: Hey... It's the least I could do, right?
They walked over to the park bench, and sat down as they looked to the sky once again.
