Dan spoke on the phone at Janine's desk with the director of the FBI, and tried to explain the situation...
Dan: No, sir. The car was possessed. We had to take a special detonator, and blow up the car with it... No, it couldn't have been saved. It was far beyond that which we could salvage it... Yes, it was possessed! Haven't you ever seen the movie, "Christine"?... Well, didn't your team which put it back together take notes?... Well, you didn't, but that's not my problem... No, you look! Your bill is in the mail! If that bill isn't paid, I'm gonna have the ghost of J. Edger Hoover sent to you, so he can kick your ass!
Dan slammed the phone onto the hook.
Dan: Fucking government! George Carlin's right, "Military Intelligents" is an oxymoron!
Roland: Well, look at it this way, at least you're doing the same thing the government does all the time.
Dan: Yeah. I guess the possibility of time travel is real, but the possibility that it's dangerous is also present. If the government got ahold of that time machine, existence as we know it might have turned out much worse than that Biff character would have ever done. If they prevented World War II by killing Hitler before it started, we'd still be in a depression, and we'd be a third-world country.
Eduardo: Do you think Marty and Jennifer will remember to come and see us?
Dan: I honestly don't know.
It was then a knock came at the firehouse door. All three Ghostbusters looked at each other. Dan stood up, and went to the door to open it. Standing in the doorway, was a man and a woman, both about in their early thirty's.
Dan: Can I help you?
The man, who was wearing a pair of reflective, air force pilot-styled sunglasses, turned around to face Dan.
Man: Dan Shannon?
Dan: Yeah?
Man: ::Takes off Glasses:: It's us!
Dan looked at both the man's face, and the woman's face. He saw through the age...
Dan: Marty?
He nodded his head.
Dan: Marty! You came!
Marty: Of course, you remember my wife, Jennifer?
Dan: Hoe-lee shit!
Jennifer: Hi, Dan!
Dan: You got married? Congrads!
Marty: Well, it was quite some time ago, but thanks.
Dan: Well, don't just stand there, come in!
Now looking from the outside of the firehouse, we see Marty and Jennifer McFly walk into the door, and the door shutting behind them. We watch as a small wind blows some leaves across the street, and the NO-GHOST logo sign swaying on the building. It had been the beginning wonderful autumn afternoon, for it took Dan Shannon and Eduardo Rivera a week to finally see it.

Harlan Airport
Staten Island
12:14 AM
A Staten Island police officer was patrolling the abandoned airstrip, when the headlights of his squad flashed across a piece of stainless steel. The officer turned on his spotlight, and found what was of a burned car. The police officer picked up the mic to his radio, and spoke...
Officer: Base, this is unit 162. I found what's left of what looks to be an old DeLorean on the airstrip at Harlan Airport. Requesting assistance.
Base: Roger, 162. Units on route.
The End...
Or is it?
