Vlad sighed, looked at his watch, then looked around the room and took a sip of his steaming tea. 'Where is he? He should have been here half an hour ago,' he thought.
He impatiently took another sip from his tea, when finally he saw Skulker phase through the wall in front of him.
"There you are," Vlad said. "I don't know about you, but I take punctuality very seriously. You had better have some good news."
Skulker hesitated for a moment, his eyes shifting everywhere except on Vlad. "Well...there's some good news, and some bad news..." he started.
Vlad knew this meant his little 'army' had failed, but asked anyways, "Well? What's the good news?"
Skulker was happy to break the good news to his boss. The happier he was, the more likely he was to get those new upgrades that were promised if his services pleased Vlad. "The Fentons aren't in Amity Park anymore." he informed.
Vlad's bad mood suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by excitement. "You got them? Where are they?"
Skulker hesitated once again. "Well, that's the bad news...Their location is unknown. The whelp's warriors got them and brought them into the ghost zone. We don't know where they went after that, and the daughter wasn't with them. She must have hidden..."
Vlad sighed in irritation, at the ghost currently floating in front of him and at the fact that Daniel had such powerful friends. This plan could definitely be going better...
Sam switched on the Fenton Fones, calling whoever would pick up on the other side. She waited as it beeped, indicating that the other Fenton Fones were ringing.
Finally she heard a beep and Tucker's voice came through the ear piece "Sam? Is that you?" he asked.
"Hey Tuck" she replied, her female voice hopefully confirming the fact that it was her.
"Hey, what's going on? Have you talked to Danny yet? Where are you?" He asked anxiously.
Sam was expecting to be showered with questions so she was also prepared to answer them. "Made a friend, no, and I don't know, in that order." she answered.
"You don't know where you are? You don't know where Danny is? You made a friend?"
Sam rolled her eyes. "Yes Tucker, I think we've already established all that. I was going to ask Danny where he was last time we talked, but he had to go as soon as I got a hold of you guys."
"Oh yeah, so who's you friend?"
Sam was silent for a moment, looking at the mouse on her shoulder. "Well, I haven't figured out his name yet, but You'll be the first to know..."
Tucker didn't seem to understand, but he let it go for now with a "Well...ok..."
In the momentary silence that followed, Sam heard a voice in the background. "Who's with you?" she asked afraid it might have been her parents, or even his parents.
"Don't worry Sam, it's just Jazz. She came to hide here, because the Mr. and Mrs. Fenton got taken to Dora's castle. They had to take them there in order to keep them safe. As soon as Vlad's people leave Amity, they'll take them back. I just hope they don't freak out when they wake up..."
"Yeah, we wouldn't want them ripping all of Dora's warriors apart molecule by molecule." She half joked. "I'm going to try and get a hold of Danny, hang on."
She pressed the "add person" button. This made all the Fenton Fones beep, but if Jazz was with Tucker and the Fentons were with Dora, Danny was the only other one with Fenton Fones at the moment.
Lisa yawned and stretched on her couch. It was later in the day, and she was only on patrol until Brook got home from school, so she had the rest of the day off. She closed her eyes and thought about her day. It was a bit more exciting than usual days.
First some lunatic reported a ghost attack in her apartment building, and she had to go check that out since she was closest, but by the time she got there the "ghost" had already "flown away".
She'd rolled her eyes and went back to her patrol, and a while later, she had found Danny on the bench in the park. She knew he wasn't a bad kid. Kids that run away are usually just depressed or attention deprived, or even abused, but Danny seemed different; it just didn't seem like he would run away.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a beeping coming from upstairs. She opened her eyes and looked at the stairs, waiting to see if she would hear it again. Sure enough, another beeping sound came from upstairs.
She leaped to her feet and ran up the stairs, taking three at a time and the beeping came again from the guest room where Danny was staying. 'Why would Danny take his cell phone?' she thought. 'All cell phones have GPS trackers in them, not to mention his parents might call.'
she looked around, she found that the beeping was not coming from a cell phone, but from a small circular device with a bent antenna coming from it, laying in a fold on Danny's backpack.
It beeped once again in her fingers as she picked it up to examine it closer. The side that was laying downwards turned out to be a tiny speaker and and there were three buttons on the side, none of them labeled.
It stopped beeping, but she was still examining it. She couldn't believe how small it was if it was a communication device. That made perfect sense judging by the looks of it. Of course, that got her wondering who would be trying to communicate with Danny, and where he might have gotten such advanced technology.
'If he has these, I wonder what else he has...' She looked towards his backpack, laying on the ground, and reached towards it. She put her hand on the zipper, but stopped and hesitated. She wouldn't like it if someone went through her stuff when she ran away. Maybe she should wait for Danny to show her what was in the bag...
Ok, so I know I haven't updated in a REALLY long time, and I know you probably want to know why, but I have no excuse, I just didn't feel like it. So anyways, here it is! Thank TexasDreamer01, Defender of the Light, Ali Phantom, DPcrazy and Luiz4200 and Thunderstorm101 who reviewed for every chapter so far! Oh yeah, and I still don't own Danny Phantom.
