Missing the Valued

The two ghosts shot toward the Specter Speeder, one hollering, "You're under arrest!"

He quickly set the shuttled into reverse, concentrating only on the two spooks coming at him. If he hadn't been in the Ghost Zone, he would have smashed into a giant rock foundation. Luckily, for Jack the guards were intent on capturing their prey and crashed into the boulder Jack had phased through.

The guards rubbed their heads where they had made impact. The ghost that seemed to be the leader glared at the other guard. "Don't let him get away," he hissed. "Do you want us to get demotions for letting another prisoner go free?"

"No, sir," the other said. They regained their focus and continued their pursuit.

"Initiate Fenton Ghost Shield!" Jack shouted, knowing that he was still the only one in the vehicle. He pressed a small black button near the steering wheel. A spherical green energy field formed around the button and expanded.

Nearly back to the Fenton Portal, Jack changed gears and turned the speeder around to zip through.

"Oh no you don't," a guard muttered. "Cut him off!" The two guards flew in a semicircle to block the portal, but Jack beat them by a split-second. The trail from the engines passed into the Fenton's lab just as the guards collided with each other with a painful smack!

"No one messes with Jack Fenton or his family!" Jack grinned, only to remember a certain bright-eyed teen. "Except for whoever took Danny."


Janine lifted the feather duster to the containment unit. She cleared the dust off the knob she was dusting, then opened the trap to dust inside of it. "We really need to hire a janitor," she said to herself, "Somehow I always end up cleaning up the place when I'm being paid to be a secretary. I have tons of paperwork to do before I can go out and show off my new ring."

She paused glanced at the ring on her pinkie. She probably should have put it on another finger, because it was too big and it slid whenever she moved her hand, but oh how she valued it. It was scarlet gem set on a thick silver base. It was polished well enough that anyone who saw the shine would be blinded when the ring was held up to a light.

"I bet that I'll be the envy of all the girls."

Janine rested her hand on the highest point of the open trap. She paused to daydream about what she would do once her work was over. A clanking sound, metal on metal, sounded from the containment unit. Her fancy ring had slid off her finger and was rolling down the trap.

Janine made a quick grab for it, but it slipped into the containment area. "My ring! It's gone!"


The ring free fell from the entrance, only barely visible in the darkness, getting dangerously near the top of someone's head . . .

"Ow!" the someone, Danny, yelped. He saw the ring bouncing off in another direction and grabbed it. Danny brought it to his face and turned it over.

"Great, I really needed to be hit in the head by a ring," he said sarcastically. "Wonder who it belongs to anyway. Maybe I better hold onto this. It just seems kind of strange though, everything else I've seen in here floats."
