Chapter 3

At the Manson's...

"Sam, we want to speak to you." Mr. and Mrs. Manson looked angry. Sam had known something like this would happen with Danny's secret being exposed to the entire town.

"Sam, did you know Danny Fenton was the ghost boy?"

"Yes, I did, but all he's done is good. He never attacked the mayor and he saved the town from Pariah Dark, the evil ghost king. All he's done is good and all you've done is made him out to be the bad guy!" Sam's passion caught her parents by surprise.

"Is this true, Sam? Has Danny really been using his powers for good?" Mrs. Manson didn't want to judge without all the information.

"What about the time he robbed a bank?" Mr. Manson didn't want his daughter hanging out with a ghost, even if the ghost washalf-human.

"Danny was being controlled. Plus, before he was being controlled, he tried to stop a robbery."

"Either way, Sam, you're forbidden to see Danny. Go to your room." Sam stomped off to her room.

At the outskirts of Amity Park...

Danny Phantom looked back at the city he'd grown up in. Thanks to one DNA scan, I have to leave this city unprotected, Danny thought. He flew off, tears threatening to fall.

At Fenton works...

"Where's Danny? He should've been home an hour ago." Maddie said this to Jack, her husband.

"I know, unless he's been arrested." Jack was as worried as Maddie.

"I'll call the police department." Maddie reached for the phone, and then dialed 911. "Hello? May I speak to the police department concerning Danny Phantom?...Oh, I see...okay...okay...yes, yes, of course...bye." Maddie's face, concern etched in every feature, said it all.

"Danny ran away from home, didn't he?" Jack had to know. He was, after all, his only son.

"Yes. Danny isn't in the city and a white haired teen with a black and white jumpsuit was sighted leaving town. Oh, Jack, we've lost our baby boy!" Maddie sobbed and Jack held her close.

In Wisconsin...

Danny landed in front of Vlad's house. He needed a place to stay, and it was either Vlad or the park.

Ding-dong. Vlad heard the doorbell and answered it. I wonder who it could be, Vlad thought. He was shocked to see Danny Phantom at his door.

"Why, young Daniel, what a pleasure it is to see you. Come to join me at last?"

"No, Plasmius, I'm here to ask it I can stay for the night." Danny was desperate.

"No, Daniel, you may not. Do you seriously think I'd let an enemy in my house?"

"You let my dad into your house."

"Yes, but he's not a hybrid, unlike you. I suggest you leave before I get mad." Danny flew off without a word.

Unknown by Danny, Vlad had been the one that supplied the Guys in White with Phantom's DNA, using the information he'd gathered for his clones. Vlad smiled and called to inform them of Danny's visit.

At a park in Wisconsin...

Danny landed and transformed back into Danny Fenton. Finding a bench, he laid down and wrapped himself in his blanket to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny woke up with a start. Transforming, he flew up and saw policemen combing the area. Suddenly, one spotted him.

"Up there! Get him!" The police fired their ecto-weapons, supplied by the government. Danny created a shield of ecto-energy.

"Fire ectoplasm!" Immediately, Danny was dragged down by ectoplasm.

"Station, this is Officer Ted. We have the ghost boy in custody, repeat; we have the ghost boy in custody." Officer Ted handcuffed Danny in cuffs he couldn't escape. Danny was trapped.

At the police station in Amity Park...

"Crimes committed by Danny Phantom: Assault, robbery, and attempted escape from the law. What do you have to say to these charges, Mr. Fenton?" The officers looked at Danny.

"I never did any of that stuff! The mayor was possessed in the so-called assault and I was being controlled in the robbery!"

"Do you have any evidence of this?"

"Yes, he does!" Sam barged into the room.

"Sam! What are you doing here? I thought your parents would lock you in your room." Danny was happy, but confused.

"I'm here to prove your innocence. Here's my ghost notebook, outlining all of Danny's ghost activities." The police read the notebook, glancing at Sam every once in a while.

"How do we know you didn't fabricate this?" Before Sam said a word, Tucker ran into the room.

"Here's my electronic journal. It proves Sam is telling the truth." The police scanned the journal.

"Danny Phantom is cleared of all charges; however, he's going to the government's custody for experiments." Tucker and Sam's face fell at the idea.

At the Guy's in White headquarters...

Danny yelled as the scientists electrocuted him for the twelfth time. I don't long how long I can take this, Danny thought. I wish Sam was here.

"The subject appears to have ghost-like resistance. Time for interrogation. Don't even think of escaping. Those wristbands we just put on you neutralize your powers."

"What? I'll die without my powers!"

"Exactly." Danny gulped, thinking of how much his family would miss him. I have to get outta here, but how?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I told you I wanted him captured. If you neutralize his powers, he'll die!" That's odd, thought Danny; I thought I heard Vlad's voice.

"We have to neutralize him or he'll escape."

"Just put up the human and ghost shield I gave you and he won't escape!" Vlad sounded angry to Danny. Great, another plan to get me to join him, Danny thought.
