Kara: After a long hiatus, one reviewer suddenly jolted our inspiration for this story. So, without further ado, we do NOT own Danny Phantom!!

Chapter 14: The Aftermath

Needless to say . . . Danny was NOT a happy camper . . .

He had just been accepted by his sister, who had been reassuring him that he could go home somehow when the Guys in White tore all that from him when their damned anti-ghost net brought him into their ship. He tried pulling the darn thing apart, but it just wasn't going to open!

"Damnit . . ." he muttered angrily, completely ignored by the GiWs at the wheel. He did NOT want to go back to that place . . .

Jazz stared in horror at the hole in the wall where that ship had come and taken her brother away . . . She was in shock. Though the ship had been gone from sight for a good minute and a half, Jazz could do nothing but stare.

Then Sam burst in, angry to have been woken up so early by all the ruckus that had been going on in the room. "WHAT THE Hell . . .'s . . . . going . . . on?" she asked, starting out by shouting angrily before dropping away as she saw the giant hole in the wall. Her eyes widened and then she saw Jazz. "Jazz?! Jazz what happened?!" she asked going over to the older girl and shaking her slightly.

That's when Jazz snapped out of her shock . . . and lost it.

"Sam!! Sam!! They took Danny!! They took my brother!! A big ship and these guys . . . they took him away!!!" she said, her voice hysterical.

Sam slapped her.

"Damnit Jazz! Pull yourself together! Who took Danny? Which way did they go?!" she asked urgently.

"Th-these g-guys . . . in white suits . . . I-I could see them through the window of their ship . . ." she said, slowly but surely starting to regain some sanity.

"What?!" A distorted version of Tucker's voice rang throughout the room. Tucker himself was awake and sitting at the chair in front of the security center, having been woken up by the alarm system he installed. He knew that had been a good idea. He quickly grabbed his PDA and rushed through the many secret passageways to the room where the girls were. He pushed some buttons. "I know where they're going . . . we've got to go after him." He said and then shuddered slightly at the brief, but traumatic memories of the place . . . He was glad that Danny had been his cellmate at the time of the incident, otherwise . . . he didn't want to think about it.

Sam blinked. "Okay . . . that's great and all . . . but how the hell are we supposed to get there?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at the African American techno-geek.

Tucker turned to Jazz. "Yours and Danny's parents are world-famous ghost hunters right?" he asked.

Jazz nodded mutely.

Tucker smiled. "Then that's where we're going first." He said and then ran to the door before stopping as he realized that the two weren't following him. "Well? Come on!! Danny's in trouble!" he said, waving for them to come on.

The girls recovered from the surprise or shock that had them glued to their spot and quickly followed after Tucker, all of them wanting to help their friend/brother.

Danny was anything but compliant as the Guys in White tried to move him from the cargo hold of their ship to a white van that would take him to that god-awful laboratory. He kicked, bit, and punched as best he could, but that was put to rest when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. One of the GiWs had given him a shot of . . . something . . .

Danny felt lightheaded and soon he lost consciousness as the knockout drug took effect.
