Hey guys! Sorry for the wait...apparently my parents think algebra homework is more important that fanfiction...(crazy? I know.) Thanks for the reviews!!!

"So where are we going next?" Jake asked excitedly.

"Home." Jack replied. Jake frowned. "Not England? Hawaii? Nowhere special?" Jack shook his head.

"Already went. I've done all my stops, now just to go home."

Jake was saddened by this news. Then he saw a bunch of flashing lights. "Dad! What are those?" he said, pointing.

"That's a police station. Do you want to see?" he asked, trying to remember that these things were new to Jake. Jake shook his head vigorously. Jack sighed. "Come on then."

They slunk closer to the police station, careful to keep in the shadows.

"What's a police station Dad?" Jake asked. "Its where they take suspects or criminals." Jack explained. Jake frowned. "Why doesn't HalloweenTown have one?" Jack shrugged. "Besides those pranksters, no one really commits any crimes in HalloweenTown." Jake nodded.

"So, those people going in are criminals?" Jake asked. Jack nodded. "Hey look Dad! Another car is coming in!" Jake pointed. Then Jack and Jake saw who was getting out of the police car.

Sally had decided she didn't like the Human World. It may be fine, but when you're handcuffed and being taken to the station, it wasn't very fun.

Not to mention the shame in it. And her daughter had to come too. "All the prisons and foster homes are filled up..." the policeman explained, "stupid Halloween pranks."

After a ride in the back of a patrol car, they were being led to the station.

Sally just hoped Jack would find them a way out of this.

"Is that...is that Mom? And Sam?" Jake asked incredulously. Jack blinked his sockets. "Couldn't be...unless..." then he realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Jake, Sally and Sam have been arrested!!" Jack exclaimed. "We have to get them out!" Jake yelled, charging for the station. Jack grabbed his cape and yanked him back.

"Hold your slugs Jake, the police may get susupicous when two skeletons walk in."

Jake shrugged. "We're in costume." "We would still need eyeballs." Jake frowned.

"Is this really necessary?" Sally asked. The policeman nodded. "I'm afraid we'll need to keep you here." he said, locking the door of the cell.

"How can we get out?" asked Sam. He laughed. "Sweetie, you need a relative to sign you out, or pay bail. You get one phone call." he said, handing them a cell phone.

Sally sighed. What good was a phone call? You couldn't call HalloweenTown, and who knows where Jack was? Or Jake?

"Can I help you gentlemen?" the policewoman asked Jack. He had scribbled on golf balls to have make-shift eyeballs.

"We're uh, looking for Sally and Samantha." Jack said nervously. The police woman frowned.

"I'm sorry sir, but your name is?" "Jack."

"Last name?"

Jack thought quickly. "Ske...dorski!!" he yelled. The police woman frowned again. "Jack Skedorski?" Jack nodded quickly. The sooner he got out of here the better. He left Jake outside.

okay, next chapter should be eventful...please review guys!!!
