Next chapter, folks.

Five days later…Danny sat in his bedroom, thinking. He remembered when his father had figured it out, it had been at his mother's funeral and Vlad had gone inside him, forcing him to go ghost in front of his father.
His father had been so angry at Danny then, he couldn't even – quote – "bear to look at his son."
Sometime soon Jack came in. "Congratulations, you got all your chores done. What about your homework?"
"Done," Danny said, shaking in his boots. He couldn't bear to be in the same room as his father anymore.
"You may go play with your friends, but remember, tell no one," his father said as Danny exited the room.

Danny sighed as he walked down the street. He was headed to Sam's house, but on his way there, he felt in the pocket for his picture of Jazz.
He couldn't go live with Vlad, even though it seemed like a tempting alternative at this point. He'd killed his mother. Danny had seen him do it. He'd told the defense attorney, who didn't believe him, and Vlad was now all over his case in anger that he'd figured it out.
Danny sighed as he rubbed his arm. "It really would have healed just fine without the cast," Danny thought as he rang Sam's doorbell.
"Hello, is Sam there?" he asked Sam's mother.
She nodded. "Please do come in." She smiled at Danny's surprised face. "I'm hoping you'll cheer her up. Apparently something went on at school today and she's upset."
"I'll try and calm her down," Danny said curiously, wondering what had happened to Sam. After a minute's walk he entered Sam's room where both Sam and Tucker were sitting on the bed. Sam was crying.
"Hey, Sam," Danny said, knocking on the door slightly.
Sam perked up. "Hey yourself," she said, giving him a slight hug and moving over to give him room on the bed.
"Hey," Tucker said. "How are you?"
"I'm alive," Danny said with a shrug. "What happened at school?"
Sam dried her tears. "I nearly got e-e-xpelled for nothing I did wrong and D-dash tried to beat me up."
Danny's eyes widened. "Wow."
"That's not all. He nearly smashed her arm in half before they expelled him from the school," Tucker said.
Danny smiled lightheartedly. "Guess someone was in the mood to break arms today. Are you ok?"
She sighed. "I don't know. He tried to look under my dress," she said, embarrassed. "I told my parents and they flipped out and my dad hit me. He hit me!"
Danny fingered the money in his pocket that his grandmother had given him for his birthday. "You guys wanna go to Nasty Burger?" he asked. "My treat."
Sam nodded. "Are you ok? Your arm looks really sore."
"It is, I'm fine."
"Good," Sam said, breathing a sigh of relief. "I just was so shocked that he hit me, ya'know?"
Danny nodded. "I'm glad you're ok. He was probably just in shock."
"Yeah, I know," she said. She smiled as they walked to Nasty Burger.
Just like old times, Tucker thought.
Little did they know, Danny's father was following them…
