Ch.14 Mole in the System
"This can't be happening!" Danny shouted.
Cyborg glanced over at him, "Any more bright ideas?"
"They burnt it." Beast Boy said, "Nothings left."
Below them what was left of the Museum of Dark History was being smothered by flames. The local fire department tinkered feverishly to stamp out the inferno to keep it from spreading. Danny had no doubt that Morgan had done this.
"He must of knew I was coming, so he got rid of whatever evidence he had." Danny said.
"That's just great!" Beast Boy shouted, "How are we going to find Raven now?"
"Perhaps we can use something in her library, a spell to locate her." Starfire suggested.
"Finding one spell in a library as big as hers, that's going to take time." Cyborg said.
"Time we don't have." Robin added.
"Look we just can't sit around and do nothing!" Beast Boy shouted, "We have to find her!"
"Beast Boy I'm doing all I can, but you need to have patience." Danny said.
"Don't tell me to be patient! My girlfriends missing and we have no idea where to start looking. Do you even have the slightest idea, how much Raven means to me?" Beast Boy growled.
"Look I know what you're going through, believe it or not this has happened to me before. I swear I will do everything in my power to find Raven and stop those specters, but I need you to stay with me." Danny replied.
Danny felt a cold chill in his heart; if the ghosts had kidnapped a member of the Teen Titans, than there's a chance that they might go after his loved ones to get to him. Danny wasn't about to take any chances with a possible kidnapping. He had to check on the others just to make sure they were safe.
"Danny, are you okay, you look ill?" Starfire asked.
"Guys, I need to go check on something." Danny said walking away.
"Where are you going?" Starfire asked, "I thought you were going to help us find Raven."
"If they kidnapped Raven then there's a chance that they might go after my friends also. I need to check to see if they're okay."
Robin answered hesitantly, "If it means that much to you than do it, but don't take too long."
Robin handed Danny a communicator with a T initial on it, "If anything looks out of place call us, a maps built into it also, so you'll be able to find our headquarters."
"Thanks, I promise I won't take too long, I swore to find Raven and I intend to make good on my word." Danny replied before flying off.
Back at the Hotel in Danny's Room"My parents!" Danny shouted in disbelief, "You called my parents!"
Tucker motioned for him to quite down, "You really didn't leave me much of a choice, I thought you were kidnapped like Jazz, Paullina, and Sam."
"Sam, Jazz, and Paullina were kidnapped? By who?" Danny shouted.
"Ghosts, they kidnapped them and took off to only God knows where, I checked to see if you were okay, saw that you weren't in you're room and thought you were kidnapped also." Tucker explained.
"Did anyone else see the ghosts?" Danny asked.
"Lancer, Dash, and a couple of hotel guests that checked out a while ago." Tucker reported.
"Lancer and Dash saw them!"
"Why are they after you?"
"What?"
"The ghosts, why are they after you? I thought we had captured them all and sent them back to the ghost dimension."
Danny decided to come clean, "Okay Tucker, I have to be honest with you. Ever since we left the airport I was being stalked by this ghost gangster. At first I thought I could handle it, what I wouldn't tell you guys wouldn't hurt you. It seemed like he only wanted me."
"Danny I think I have the right to know when a ghost is stalking my friend! What did he want with you?"
"He talked about a utopian civilization, with no pain and suffering. And he needed me to make it come true."
"What happened?"
"It was a trap, he set me up with Morgan Deprea."
"Whoa Morgan Deprea? The Museum curator?"
"Yeah he's a ghost hybrid, he wanted me to awaken some almighty force. I escaped and that's probably why they kidnapped Sam."
"To lure you back to them. Do you have idea where she's at?"
"Not a clue." Danny responded than an idea hit him, "Maybe my parents can help out after all, they can track ghosts with their technology. Tucker I need you to be my mole."
"Your what?" Tucker asked.
"I need you to keep me informed on what my parents are doing, if they find any clues to where Sam is let me know." Danny instructed.
"I have some walkie talkies in my room, I'll go get them." Tucker announced.
After disappearing for a brief period of time, Tucker returned with two small portable walkie talkies. He handed one to Danny while he tested the other by talking into it. Danny heard what sounded like a jet plane land in the middle of the street. Peeking outside his surprise was unimaginable when he saw a white jet with an anti-phantom sigh panted on its jets, and his burly father climbing out of the pilot cockpit.
"Okay they're here," Danny said, "I have to split."
"Wait!" Tucker said, "I thought you were going to hang around."
"No, I have other things I need to take care of. Remember keep me informed on what's going on." Danny said before disappearing.
Tucker waited a few moments before walking out of Danny's room and down the hall.
"I've dealt with Danny's parents before," Tucker reasoned with himself, "They haven't hunted ghosts in years."
"How bad could working with them be?"
