Chapter Four

Danny opened the door to his house. He just stood there, his face ash white.

Sam went up to her friend, wondering what could be troubling him considering he hadn't opened the screen door yet. But she soon saw it. It had a single word on it, written in the all too familiar pink swirly handwriting... His sister's.

That word was "Danny," but Danny just stared at his name as if it held the meaning of life.

Danny reached over and gently pulled the letter off the screen. Holding it to his chest, acting as if it was a check for all the money on earth, he raced inside the Fenton's living room, not even slowing down to hold open the door for Sam.

As Danny examined the letter more closely, he realized it was dated the day before the car explosion. Relief that Jazz hadn't become a wandering spirit almost made Danny pass out.

He started to reach down and tear the envelope when his parents Barged into the house, almost knock Sam off the steps. Danny hid the envelope under a throw cushion before his parents saw it.

"Danny! I'm afraid I'm going to need that Fenton Thermos back," Jack Fenton said in a dignified voice. Danny was surprised that his father even knew that he took three spare thermoses and absently handed it over.

Jack glanced at Maddie, who sighed and responded, "Ok, I'll tell him."

Maddie sat next to Danny and began talking to him in a soft voice, "Danny, Your father and I are going to be persueing an investigation on Jazz's murder in Orangeport. We have a strong theroy that because Jazz got friendly with this invisobill, that it made Jazz a target for other ghosts," Danny shuddered when she mentioned Orangeport. Besides Amity Park, Orangeport, and Elmerton, all of the surrounding towns were busling Utopias. Elmerton was once open fields, but soon became a place where major constructional developments were happening, it didn't even have a school. Orangeport, however, was a town that used to engage in trade with various places from around the world, however, it had been abandoned except for certain parts bordering Amity Park because of some sort of Environmental or Economic Crisis. The Government still left them clueless, making it a local Area 51.

"Our old College Friend Harriet Chin is going to babysit you because, though you are 14, you are not responsible enough to stay home alone for 8 weeks. The only one responsible would be..." Maddie hesitated at the end of her sentence and got up. After brushing some imaginary dirt from her outfit, she and her husband hustled out the door without a single goodbye.

Danny got up, the lettter forgotten, and stared out the door. Sam turned to see what had peaked his interest. It was Teresa. Followed closely by Katie, Jake, & Alana. Sam looked at Danny in time to see a mist slowly drift out of his mouth.
