"Okay Janine, we'll get him." Egon said as they followed him.
Ray went towards Lizzie, "Hey sweetheart, Daddy's here"
Winston yelled, "Ray get away from Lizzie, right now or you're going to get
hurt"
"Ray!" all the guys yelled as Lizzie picked up Ray.
Peter jumped into action and aiming carefully he fired hitting Lizzie in the hand. She roared and dropped Ray. Then Lizzie reached and grabbed Peter.
"You have interfered long enough. I will crush your puny little bones"
She began squeezing Peter. Peter tried to scream but he could not even breathe. Ray slowly got up shaking his head.
"What happened, where am I?" He looked up and saw the same monster they busted earlier only this time younger and it had Peter.
"Let him go. or feel the wrath of Stantz"
"Why daddy? Is that anyway to talk about your daughter"
She then tossed Peter's lifeless body at Ray. "I have his soul daddy dearest. If you want it back then set my beloved free." Moreover, with that she was gone.
Ray carried Peter's lifeless body into the firehouse. "Now what are we're going to do? This is my entire fault," he said looking a little upset. Egon replied, "I have an idea, but I'm not sure it will work.
Winston said, "Whatever your plan is I hope its works." Egon nodded and said. "I hope so too Winston. I have to get back to the lab. You stay with Ray and Peter."
Ray made no protest as he laid Peter on the sofa and sat down on the end of it. Winston watches him carefully. "Ray you okay"
"Stupid question to ask me. Don't you think Winston? One of my best friends had his soul taken from him, and you ask me if I'm all right"
"I'm sorry man, but you don't look to good.""This is my fault. Why didn't I see that creature for what it was?
I'm a Ghostbusters. I studied the occult. I should have known"
"Stop beating yourself up. She hid you from the truth. You know now and we're going to help Peter"
Ray shook his head and stood up. "No. This is my fault so therefore I must take care of it"
"Ray? What are you going to do"
"Find Liz… that monster and get Peter's soul back"
"Let's wait for Egon he's working on a plan"
"This is between that creature and me! You and Egon stay out of it"
"Sorry can't let you do that." Winston reached out to grab him but Ray moved away and landed a lucky blow in Winston stomach.
Winston gasped as he grabbed his middle section.
"I'm sorry Winston. But I need to do this alone." Ray cried as he jumped into Ecto and drove away.
Winston slowly climbed up to the third floor and went into the lab.
Egon looked up and saw the look of pain on his face.
"What happened"
"We got trouble. Ray went after Lizzie."
"Why, didn't you stop him?" Egon asked.
"Well, Ray said this was his fault that Peter's soul was taken and he wanted to do this alone.
I tried talking to him but he just punched me in my stomach." Winston said still in a little pain. "He said Peter was one of his best friends. He had to stop the monster alone."
"Hmm, we have work to do. We have to find some way to stop Lizzie and safe both Peter and Ray Egon replied. "I think we better hurry"
Ray drove back to the park, parking Ecto; he got out with his back on and started searching Lizzie.
As he walked slowly, he kept his hand on his weapon. He was ready for anything at least he hopes he was.
"Looking for me daddy dearest?"
Ray turned to see the creature standing a few feet in front of him. He berated himself for walking right past her.
"Give me back what you stole." he demanded.
"Oh. Do you mean this?" She held up a small crystal ball that glowed. "You do know what this is? Do you not?"
"Peter's soul and I come to take it back. One way or another?" Ray raises his ion gun at her.
"If you shoot me with you pea shooter and get a lucky shot.Yeah I might go down mind you might go down but then again your friend soul will be destroyed."
Ray lowers the gun and stared at her. She smiled knowing she had the upper hand. "Now this is how it will go down if you ever want your friend's soul back. You will go home and release my husband."
"I can't do that."
"Oh you will or else. I will destroy your friend's soul."
Ray now lowers his head. "All right I'll do it."
"Good and don't tell the others. We meet at 3 am at the old Lexington bridge in the park."
Later that night everyone's was a sleep in the firehouse except for Ray. He couldn't get any sleep. He just tossed and turned in his bed. He kept hearing the voice of Lizzie telling him to release her husband. Not be able to sleep he got up from his bed and threw his jumpsuit over his clothes and went downstairs to the containment unit. "I must do this for Peter." He muttered as he released Lizzie's husband out.
"Ray! No! Do not " Slimer cried out but it was too late the purple ghost was free.
"Free I say Free! Free"
Ray looked up at the ghost." I did my part you are free. Tell you're wife to give back Peter's soul"
The purple ghost reached down and grabbed Ray. "Let's go see my darling wife shall we." and then he disappeared.
"Ray! Oh no, must get the people "Slimer floated up to the bunkroom.
"Wake up! Wake up! Bad purple ghost took Ray! Wake Upppppppppp"
Egon and Winston both woke up and spang out of bed.
"How did big and purple get out?" Winston asked.
"Ray let him out." said Slimer.
"Why"
"To help Peter"
"Come on Winston. He may have taken Ray to the park"
Ray found himself waking up. He shook his head trying to get his vision focus. It seems strange everything was in black and white.
"Ray? Are you okay"
Ray heard Peter's voice and looked around but all he saw was a cat.
The cat came towards him. Ray stared at it and back away when it said. "Ray. We got a problem"
"Peter is that you? You're a cat"
"Yes it's me and you shouldn't talk, you're a dog"
"What? How did this happen?"
' I have no idea."
"I hope Winston and Egon come and get us soon."
Ray looked down at Peter who was cleaning himself." Uh Peter? What are you doing"
"I'm cleaning myself and I have no idea why"
"I do. Peter. Don't you see?"\"See what Ray"
"Our souls have been place in these animals. I was taken here so my body must be here somewhere helping me look"
"Ray I don't want to look for your body"
"Well I do. Your body may still be home but mine must be here and without it I'll have nothing to return to"
Peter stretched his cat body and looked around." Your body could be anywhere"
Ray lifted his dog head and sniffs the air." No, it is here. Come on its right over here"
Peter followed Ray as he ran over to a group of trees. There they found his body. Ray laid his head on the body. "Now we wait for Egon and Winston, and Peter"
"Yes Ray"
"We have to find a way to let them know who we are"
"Can't we just tell them"
"No"
"Why not"
"Because they wouldn't understand us we can't talk human any more."
Egon and Winston had arrived back in the park. They both got out of Ecto and started to search for Ray.
