Disclaimer: I do not own Person of Interest or Danny Phantom. I'm just borrowing their characters.

AN: I'm using Bailee Madison as the face claim for Danielle.

AN2: Okay so for those of you who follow this story I've been editing it and I deleted all the old chapters and am uploading the new chapters. And I split the original first chapter into two chapters. So you're going to want to go back and reread the first chapter, because I heavily edited/added to the beginning of the original first chapter, so it was long enough to be just Dani's pov!

Phantom of Interest

Chapter Two: A New Number

~(^.^)~

Third Person P.O.V.

The next day, The Library

Morning

The library was quiet that morning and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of a squeak toy being chewed on. Finch was sitting by the computers as usual, staring intently at the screen, while Bear was lying on his little bed chewing on his toy. Suddenly Bear stood up and raced towards the stairs where Reese was ascending into the library.

"We have a new number?" Reese asked, coming to a stop next to Finch.

"Yes but this one is different. I didn't get her number; the machine sent me her picture. I've spent the last hour and a half trying to find out anything on her, but it's like she doesn't exists at all," Finch answered, obviously frustrated.

Reese eyed him for a moment with a small smirk playing at his face at his friend's annoyance.

"Can I see who this person is?" Reese asked, glancing down at the computer.

Finch pulled out a picture of a 14 year old girl, with piercing glacier ice blue eyes, and long flowing raven black hair pulled back into a high pony tail, standing in what appeared to be an abandoned park. She was wearing torn black jeans, a white shirt with the words 'Dumpty Humpty' written across the chest, a black leather jacket, and a pair of black combat boots.

"Did you get a name for her at least?" Reese asked, staring at the picture.

He'd heard of people erasing their identities but never of a teenager erasing their identity. What would cause someone like her to do something like that, and did it have to do with why the machine had given them her picture.

"No it's like she doesn't exist. There's absolutely no record of her, the closest I could get was a boy named Daniel Fenton who lives in Amity Park. I did a facial search for her and found that she and the boy Daniel have a 98% facial match, they could be twins if it weren't for the fact that he's two years older than her," Finch explained, pulling up the picture of Daniel Fenton.

Finch was right the two could have been twins; they had the same piercing glacier ice blue eyes, and the same raven black hair though the boys was short and flopped down into his face covering one of his eyes.

"You think the family gave her up when she was born?" Reese asked, leaning down closer to the screen.

"There would have been a birth certificate if that's what happened. She also would have had a social security number assigned to her if that was the case," Finch replied, scowling at the screen.

"I did manage to find this video from last night, I'm pretty sure it's why she's in trouble," Finch exclaimed, glancing up at Reese.

Finch hit play on the video and Reese watched as their newest number appeared on the screen. She was walking through a park, when she stopped suddenly and turned in another direction, heading deeper into the park. And then she came across a group of five people surrounding another man. He noted the guns the five people had, and he couldn't help but wonder just what this kid was thinking approaching a group of armed people the way she was. He watched as she spoke to the men, then watched as four of the men attacked her.

He was impressed with the way she weaved around the men, and with her obvious fighting ability. Somebody had definitely taught her how to fight. And he was impressed with her aim with the rocks. All in all the fight lasted barely even two minutes, and by the time she stopped hitting the last man the guy she'd saved had already run off. He watched her looked over the guys she'd beaten for a moment before heading off out of the park. She walked out of the park and across the street to a warehouse and disappeared inside.

"I did some research on those men. That one," Finch pointed to the one who was the obvious leader of the group, "Is James Holt. He owns a bar downtown, but he runs a side business out of said bar selling drugs, mostly heroine. And I'm sure they'll be looking for her after what happened last night."

"We have to find her before they do," Reese stated.

"From the looks of it, she seems to spend a lot of time in that warehouse. It used to be a car parts factory, but it shut down five years ago when the company went out of business. It's been empty ever since," Finch explained, pulling up records on the building on his computer.

"Sounds like the perfect place for a kid to hang out in," Reese muttered, walking to the stairs.

He took a second to scratch Bear behind the ear, then continued on his way out of the library…

~(^.^)~

The warehouse was definitely an old building, an old building that was falling apart. Most of the windows where either broke or missing completely. There was a wall at one end of the building that had collapsed exposing the inside of the warehouse to the elements. Weeds where sprouting up through the concrete, and plants where crawling their way up the sides of the building. It was the picture of an abandoned building in the middle of the city.

And it was the exact kind of place that kids loved to hang out in and explore when they where playing hooky. The only problem was that the building was huge, and there was a number of places that a kid could hide inside. Which is why it took Reese an hour and a half to search the whole building, and he still didn't find the person he was looking for. What he did find was her hide out inside the warehouse.

It was a small room at the very back of the warehouse, probably used as an office at some point, but now seemed to be used as some sort of makeshift bedroom. There was a small cot with a sleeping bag on top of it pushed up against the back wall of the room, a camping cook top was set up on the floor not to far from the cot, and a backpack was lying on the floor at the foot of the cot.

Reese pulled the backpack open and glanced inside for a second, and found it was full of clothes. He glanced around the small room for a second taking everything in. He shivered slightly as a breeze blew through the broken window above the cot and shook his head. There was no way that sleeping bag kept that girl warm at night as she slept.

"Did you find her Mr. Reese?" Finch asked through his earpiece.

"No, she's not here right now. But I did find her hide out, and her stuff. Finch it looks like she's been living here," Reese replied.

"She's living there?" Finch questioned, worry tinging his voice.

Both men had a soft spot for kids, and neither liked the idea of a kid living in such conditions. The building was honestly a safety hazard, and looked to be one good wind storm away from collapsing in on itself. Not to mention it was drafty as hell, and it was the middle of winter, which meant the building was freezing.

"Yeah, she's got a cot with a sleeping bag set up in an office at the back of the building. She's got a bag full of clothes in here along with a little camping cooktop set up on the floor in here," Reese explained.

Reese felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up on end, and he glanced around the room, then out the door. He didn't see anyone, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched.

"Finch, did the camera's in the area catch her leaving the warehouse this morning?" Reese questioned, moving out of the small room.

"I'm not seeing anything, but there is a blind spot around the back of the warehouse where there's no camera's. She could have slipped out that way sometime this morning," Finch replied, looking through the different video feeds.

"I'm going to canvas the area, see if I can spot her," Reese uttered, moving out of the warehouse.

What he didn't know was that Dani had been there watching him the whole time invisibly. And she'd heard the whole conversation between him and Finch. She didn't know who either of them where, or what they wanted with her. But she was determined to figure it out, even if that meant she had to follow him around for the rest of the day…

~(^.^)~

AN: And that's the second chapter done! I like the way this is written a whole lot better than the way I wrote this part in the original first chapter. And now I guess technically the original first chapter is now split into three chapters.

AN2: okay yes, technically Dani, Reese, and Finch haven't met officially yet. But we're getting there, I'm trying to space it out. I don't know, when I reread the original three chapters it just all seemed so rushed. They met by the second chapter and had the threat resolved by the end of the third chapter. So I feel like this is a lot better. Hope ya'll enjoyed the chapter!
