Black and Blue

Chapter Four:- The One Thing He Could Never Do

Danny woke up with a somewhat happy tone. He still didn't know what was wrong with Sam but at least she was talking to him more. He got out of bed and quickly got ready for school.

As soon as he got there he started looking for Sam and Tucker. He found Tucker right away. Of course, he was never hard to find. He was always in the computer lab.

"Hey, have you seen Sam yet?" Danny asked as he walked up to Tucker.

"No. She called me though this morning, I think." He shrugged.

"You think?"

"Well it was like two in the morning. She probably called me sleep walking or something." He logged off the computer and stood up.

"What'd she say?" Danny asked as they walked out of the lab.

"All I heard was something crash and then the dial tone." He yawned. "I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept waking up after her call."

"That's kind of strange. Well, I'm gonna go look for her before class starts."

"Isn't she mad at you or something?" Tucker asked.

"No. I went over there last night and talked to her." Tucker nodded and headed off to class leaving Danny to search. Unfortunately, he didn't find Sam and had to get to class. "Damn it." He said as he started walking to class. He walked past the bathroom and overheard Adam talking on the phone.

"Don't even think about it." He heard Adam say. Danny couldn't help but listen in a little. He stood by the door and pressed his ear to it. "I said no!" He yelled into the phone. "I already gave you my warning. I'll be over after school and you better be there." He hung up the phone and started out of the bathroom.

"Who were you talking to?" Danny asked when he walked out.

"None of your business." Adam answered quickly. "You shouldn't eavesdrop on people." Danny was about to say something when the bell rang.

"Damn it! I'm late!" He ran off to his class only to get detention after school.

-----

Danny told Tucker about this morning and how he had detention so early in the school year. Tucker just shook his head and told him he'd see him this weekend or something.

Danny slowly walked to his detention room and sat down in a seat.

"Detention on a Friday isn't fair." He mumbled.

"Then don't be late to my class Mr. Fenton." Mr. King said. "If you cared enough to be on time, you could be at home right now or out with your friends." He sat behind his desk and started on some sort of paper work.

About a half hour went by and Mr. King left the room to get a drink. Danny's cell phone rang and he looked at caller ID to see it was Sam. He quickly picked it up.

"Look Sam, I can't talk-" He was cut off by a scream on the other line. "Sam? Are you okay?" He asked starting to worry.

"Danny!" He heard her yell. Then he heard what sounded like the sound of her phone hitting the ground. He heard her scream and a guy's voice telling her to shut up.

"Sam!" Danny yelled standing up in a panic. "Sam where are you?" Just then Mr. King walked back into the room.

"No cell phones aloud it detention." He walked over, took Danny's phone and shut it off after hanging up on Sam.

"No Mr. King!" Danny yelled. "Something's wrong. I have to go!" He ran for the door but his wrist was being held back.

"You're not going anywhere Mr. Fenton without a good reason. Now sit back down!" He yelled. Danny quickly turned his hand intangible and it slipped out of the teachers grasp.

"I have to go!" Danny yelled before running out of the room. He ran down the halls turning ghost in the process. He took off through the roof flying to Sam's house as fast as he could. "C'mon Sam, be okay. Please be okay."

He flew into her house and started looking around. Her parents weren't home so he started calling out her name only to find that she wasn't there either. He went into the kitchen and found a note. He landed on the floor and picked it up. It was written in purple pen in Sam's hand writing.

"The one thing he could never do, love me." He read aloud. "What?" Danny didn't understand what she meant. He shook his head, put the note down and picked up the phone. He dialed Tucker's cell number. "Do you know where Sam is?" He yelled as Tucker picked up the phone. Tucker didn't even have a chance to say hello.

"Dude, you're becoming obsessive." He told him.

"No! Something's wrong I mean seriously wrong. She called me and all I heard was her screaming."

"I thought you were in detention."

"Screw that! Do you know where she is?" He yelled panicking again.

"No. I haven't heard from her. I don't think she was at school today either." Tucker said.

"You have to help me look for her. You have those fenton phones?"

"Yeah they're right here. Why?"

"I don't have my cell. Mr. King took it. That's how you're going to keep in touch with me." He explained putting his own in his ears. "I'll talk to you in a minute. I'm going to start looking." He hung up and started flying out the door.

"You there Danny?" Tucker asked through the fenton phones.

"Yeah I'm here." He responded. "I'm going to start at Adam's house. Maybe he'll know something helpful."

"Where do you want me to start?"

"Anywhere, anywhere you think Sam might go if she wanted to run away. I think that's what she was getting ready to do. There was a note and a suitcase filled with her clothes at her house."

"Alright, I'll head off in the direction of the train station. I'll report back with any information. Talk to you in a bit." Tucker was about to go off when he stopped. "Danny,"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for not believing you in the beginning."

"Don't worry about it Tuck."

"She'll be okay." Danny looked down and went off as he approached Adam's house.

He knocked on the door after turning human. After a few moments, Adam came to the door with a smug look on his face.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Have you seen Sam?"

"Why?"

"I got a strange call from her and I think she might be in trouble." Danny didn't like Adam's tone of voice.

"She's fine don't worry."

"How do you know? You've seen her?"

"Yes. I have." Adam's look got even smugger than before. "She's in trouble alright but she's fine." Danny backed away a little starting to get the message.

"Where is she?"

"How should I know?" He shrugged. "I just made my point and left her there."

"Left her where?"

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave now. Good-bye." Adam shut the door and Danny pounded his fist on it.

"Where the hell is she you bastard?" He yelled. He turned ghost and quickly started flying again. "Tucker." He turned his fenton phones back on. "Tucker you there?"

"I'm here Danny."

"Adam has something to do with all of this."

"How do you know?"

"Just trust me on this one." Danny said his eyes burning with hate and anger. "If you would have seen him, you'd know too."

"You want me to call the cops?"

"And tell them what?" Danny almost laughed. "We have no story, no case until we find her."

"A missing person?" Tucker offered.

"She hasn't been gone for 24 hours or even two hours for that." He sighed. "Now do you have anything?"

"No." Tucker sighed this time. "There's no sign of her anywhere. No one at the train station said they recognized her either."

"Okay. I'm going to stop at home before I keep looking. I want to pick up something."

"I'll keep in touch and keep looking." Danny nodded even though Tucker couldn't see him. They went off and Danny flew home. He got in and went into the living room.

"Where is it?" He asked himself. He was looking for a recent picture of Sam to show people if he need to. "Maybe it's upstairs." He turned human and ran up the stairs. He stopped at the top of the stairs when he heard sobs. He slowly opened his door and the sight he saw made his eyes water, his knees shake, his anger boil, his mouth drop, and his heart swell up with joy. "Oh my god."


Sry it's so short but that's all I wanted to put in this chptr. I'll update soon though. The last chptr, this chptr and the next chptr title will make out the a line in the song Black and Blue by Mindy McCready. The song hasn't been released yet but there's a short sample up on the web. The song is where I got the title to this story if it wasn't already obvious.
