Last time in part three
It suddenly began to storm just like the night King came and then the storm and King were gone.
"Wow he's makes a cool exit. Doesn't he?" Said Peter.
"I got to get home and tell my son."
"Ray do you want help?"
"No thanks Winston. This is something I have to do myself."
Now part four
As ray pulled into his driveway, he was not sure how he was going to C.J about king. He knew he would not lie to his son, but how would C.J. take it. Slowly he got out and headed for the house.
When he got to the door, it came open. C.J. was standing there. He looked around.
"Dad, where's King?"
Ray was quiet for a moment .C.J. waited. Then he placed his hand on his son's shoulder.
"C.J. we need to talk."
"Is it about King?"
"Yes. Come on let's go to your room."
C.J. looked over towards his mom and sister. They both gave him a small smile. He then followed his father into his room. He was not sure what his father had to say but he felt it was not going to be good. Ray waited until he sat down on his bed then gave him the Tobin spirit guidebook.
"I want you to look at page ninety-eight."
C.J. opened the book to the page and saw a picture of a dog that look almost like King.
"It looks a little light King. So?"
"Son King is a Demon Hunting Dog."
"I don't understand."
Ray knew this was not going to be easy. "Son King not an original Dog. He hunts and destroys demon and he has a master known as a Demon Hunter that he hunts with."
"Dad is you trying to tell me that King's master a Demon Hunter came for him."
"No. You see C.J. King chooses his new owner the new Demon Hunter when the old one dies and he choose you."
"Okay so where is he?"
"I send him away."
"Why?"
"Because I feel that you're too young to be a Demon Hunter."
"Oh it's okay for you to be a Ghostbusters, but I can't be a Demon Hunter."
"C. J., Please there is quite a difference."
"I don't see it. You just don't want me to have dog."
"First of all I'm not eleven years old and I know how to bust ghost. Second hunting demons are more dangerous then busting ghost."
"I could do it. I know I could."
"And I believe you could too. However, not now. I asked King to leave and not come back till you're twenty- one."
C. J. turned away forms his father. "That's ten years to wait."
"I know but it's for the best."
"What for me or you? You never care for me."
Ray was shock by those words. "Carlton James I never want to hear you say that again. You know darn well that I love you."
"Yeah you love me but you don't care about me."
"C.J. how can you say such a thing? Dad cares for us." Jules said as she enters his room. To tell them supper was ready.
C.J turned and stared at his sister. "Yeah he does you, but not me. He gave you a cat .but when I want to keep a dog I can't because dad's jealous .Because I will be better then him as a Demon Hunter then he is as a Ghostbusters."
Jules suddenly lost control and before Ray could stop her she push C.J. down on his butt.
"You take that back C.J. Dad loves us. He had a good reason for sending King away."
C.J. got up and glare at his sister." You stay out of this." With that, he ran out his room.
Elaine looked up from the oven as she saw her son run out of the house.
"Ray what's going on?"
Ray turned to his wife. "C.J. a little upset I'll go talk to him."
"Maybe I better you and Jules sit down and eat" Elaine said as she went out the door. leaving Ray and Jules to just stared.
"Dad will everything be all right?"
Ray places his arm around Jules who lean up against him. "I hope so Pumpkin I hope so."
