Chapter 9
After a long debate, Maddie decided to keep her suspicions a secret.
For now.
At least until she had enough clues to figure out the mystery between the ghost boy and her children or until she caught the ghost. The only clue she got was that Jazz and Danny were involved with this and they aren't going to tell her what is going on. Looking back at the Ghost Detector again, showing no signs of any ghosts, Maddie sighed audibly. Deciding she couldn't make any more heads or tails from the mystery, Maddie went back to work, taking the detector along with her, in case the ghost boy appears again.
Maddie is currently washing dishes like every evening, humming away happily enjoying the calmness of the house. Jack was busy testing the new ecto samples they scraped off the portal and trying his best not to destroy the lab. Danny and Jazz were currently doing their homework upstairs.
The latest meal, despite some glowing food no one wants to touch except Jack, had gone quite well. Maddie had apologized to Danny and was glad that Danny accepted it better than Jazz. While apologizing to Jazz, Jazz warned that she'll lock away their weapons the next time they tried to attack innocent people. Jack had also mumbled a quick apology to Danny, which was accepted as well. Finally done with the last of the plates, Maddie washed her hands and surveyed her work. Looking at the pile of still usable and now clean plates, Maddie also made a mental note to buy more plates.
Looking at the clock, Maddie decided to check up on her children one last time before she went down to the lab.
"Hey guys! I'm nearly done with my homework now. How's the patrolling going?" Danny asked through the Fenton Phone, his hands currently busy doing homework.
"We're now close to the park. Everything's fine Danny, don't worry. Except the Box Ghost at a box store. But that doesn't coun-" Tucker began to say when a loud crash sounded in the background.
"What that Tucker?" Danny asked.
"Danny! There's a ghost down at the park. Come here ASAP!" Sam's voice entered through the Fenton Phone blocking out Tucker's answer.
"On it. I'll be there in a few minutes." Danny answered through the device, his homework long forgotten. He hastily hid the pillows under his blanket and adjusted it to a human like shape. 'Hopefully, mom won't come up to check on me yet', he thought. A few seconds later, the ghost known as Danny Phantom was seen outside the window, heading towards the park.
Maddie walked up the stairs to check her children. Deciding to check the room closest to her first, Maddie turned to the right side of the hallway. Opening the first door, Maddie saw her orange haired daughter reading one of her thick books, taking quick notes on a paper. Hearing the door creak open, Jazz turned to face her visitor.
"Mom?" she asked in surprise, clearly not expecting her mom to show up at the door. "Uh, why are you up here? Do you need anything?"
"It's nothing Jazz. Just checking. You should get some sleep dear. You could continue reading tomorrow."
"Okay mom. But just a little bit more. Then I'll turn in for the night."
"Good night sweetie." Maddie said closing the door again.
"Good night mom."
Once the door was closed shut Maddie went for the other door on the other side of the hall. Opening the door, she found her son in bed, under the blankets, fast asleep. Not wanting to disturb her son, she silently closed the door and walked back to the kitchen. Upon reaching the said room, Maddie heard a small beeping sound. Curious, she looked for the source. Much to her surprise, the source was the Ghost Detector, once again showing the location of the ghost boy. Quickly deciding, she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to Jack.
Jack,
I must go outside for a while. Continue the latest research without me, but try not to blow anything up.
-Maddie
P.S. Fudge is in the fridge, next to the fridge door. Don't eat all of them, save some for later.
Placing the note on the table, she grabbed her favorite ecto gun and left the house with the detector in her left hand. She knew she needed all the stealth she had to catch the ghost, so she didn't tell Jack of the Ghost Detector. Feeling guilty for leaving Jack out of the hunt, Maddie decided to bake extra fudge for Jack when she got back.
Author's Note: I am very sorry for being away for a long time. School had started and I'm busy most of the time. I'm also getting some of my plots mixed up together between two stories because they are quite similar and also because I usually plot two or more stories at the same time which is very confusing. However, I will still continue this story as much as I can.
Review please!
