Revenant
Part two
"We're back Sharon, are we too late for desert?" Adam asked, changing back into his street clothes, Richie behind him fully dressed in his costume, carrying Backpack in one hand and the video tape in the other. "Is it ok if I can use the VCR to watch this?" Richie asked, holding up the tape so that Robert could see.
"That's ok, do you want some apple pie?" Robert asked, holding up a medium sized pie, as Richie stood near the kitchen doorway and then went to set Backpack down on the coffee table. "I guess" Richie replied shrugging and took his helmet off, then worked on getting changed into his street clothes before putting the tape on.
The ghost appeared, sat on the stairs and thought a little worried. 'I hope my Lords are correct about my powers or myself can not be seen by any type of camera' He watched as Richie got off the couch and put the video tape on.
Backpack was set up on the table and was recording the battle that was on the video. "Anything unusual?" Adam asked, giving Richie a bowl of apple pie before sitting down on a armchair. The television was now shut off and Backpack displayed the recording but magnified.
The armed robbers held up the late customers and the staff, forcing them into the center of the room. The camera flickered for a moment before the robber's guns flew out of their hands and disappeared. The now unarmed robbers were lifted into the air and thrown against a nearby wall, the camera flickered again. The picture faded then came back but showed the robbers wrapped up in...
"Wire?" Richie muttered pausing the hologram and looked closely, his glasses pushed up his nose instead of the tip. "It reminds me of your capture device" Adam said, looking more closely at the hologram.
Richie pressed a few buttons on a panel attached to the side of Backpack, the hologram magnified the two robbers so that the wire was clear to see, "The wire is simliar to my capture caps but there is a slight difference!" Richie said, press and held a button on the panel.
The hologram spun and magnified at a locked section of the wire. "What is the difference?" Adam asked as the hologram focused. "That instead of it wrapped around the villains... it was wielded" Richie said, getting a pen out of his pocket and pointed to several spots on the wire.
The ghost looked from his place on the stairs at where Richie and Adam were working. 'Ooh boy! has it really been that long that I have forgotten how smart Rich is?' The ghost thought as the hologram vanished and Richie stretched from his place on the couch.
Shivering a little, Richie felt as if that someone was watching him. "Are you ok Richie?" Adam asked, noticing Richie shivered. "Yeah... could be more tired than I thought" Richie said,taking his glasses out of their case before rubbing the tiredness from his eyes. "Well we have been out patrolling till early hours every day this week, do you want to go to bed early?" Adam asked, taking the bowl from Richie and got off the arm chair before heading into the kitchen.
Richie got up off the couch and moved Backpack from the table to the nearest electrical outlet for recharging. He then made sure that his helmet and costume was neatly stored on the table, "Are you ok Richie?" Robert asked coming into the main room. "Just tired, we have been a little stretched since Shebang left with her parents to Europe" Richie said, cleaning his glasses before putting them on.
"The guestroom is always set up for you here" Robert said, sitting down on the couch and Richie followed. Smiling a little, "Thanks... I better call my folk first though" Richie said getting up and walked into the kitchen. The ghost got up off the stairs, looked at Robert once, flinched and then went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen Adam and Sharon were doing the dishes, being engaged and alone was usually not a good combination. Richie closed his eyes at the sight of the couple and reached for the cordless phone before disappearing back out of the kitchen and into the main room.
The ghost felt himself turn green and fled the kitchen quickly. 'yuck!'
Richie dialed the number for his house and was happy to here that his mother answered. "Hello, Foley residence" Maggie's voice said. "Hey mum, its me... I am going to be staying here at the Hawkin's residence tonight... things got a little too tiring tonight" Richie said, glad that he had told his parents about him being Gear. "Ok, Richie... just be back here by tomorrow evening ok" Maggie's voice said, and waited for a reply. "Ok mum, night" Richie said and hanged up.
Sighing a little, he left the phone on the table near the kitchen door and went off to the guest room.
Feeling that nothing was going to happen tonight, the ghost left the house and visited the graveyard and saw the memorial statue collection had grown. A statue of Static had appeared and had an engraving on it.
Static, our number one hero. He will forever be missed but not forgotten.
- People of Dakota
Smiling a little, the ghost thought 'thank you all'
