Chapter 7: Patrol

The cool breeze in the night was rather pleasant to Danny as he flew around the town. Despite the craziness with Phantom Thief and Freakshow, Danny still had to protect the town from other ghosts. However, his patrol was rather boring. There was nothing, not even the Box Ghost causing trouble. It made him uneasy. He pressed a button on the ear phone and asked, "You guys got anything?"

"Nope," Tucker replied.

"Nothing," Sam too confirmed.

Danny sighed. It was nice that there weren't any ghost around, but it was way too quiet for his liking. He just felt that something was going to happen tonight. And he wasn't sure if it was a good thing.

Danny flew by a couple of buildings when his ghost sense went off. Turning around, he came face to face with Freakshow.

"Well if it isn't the little ghost brat! No doubt on your nightly patrol, I assume," Freakshow laughed. Danny scowled and raised his hand and directed an energy blast at the smug looking clown. Instead of trying to dodge the attack, Freakshow merely pushed it aside as it hit a nearby light post. Confused, Danny threw more at him, only to have them deflected back at him. Dodging his own attacks, Danny failed to notice Freakshow's quick advance until he was promptly punched in the face and sent flying into a building wall.

Shaking his head, slightly dazed, Danny now noticed the green glow around the enemy and that he was floating a few inches off the ground. "How—"

"Am I doing this?" Freakshow finished the question. He laughed before continuing, "That would be from this, boy!" He took out a large locket, a silver masterpiece of intricate design, from his coat, "This is the Locket of Lun di yun. It gives me powers similar to that of ghost if given the right password."

"And I'm going to guess that with your great knowledge of ghostly artifacts, you already knew the password."

"Precisely!"

Danny scowled again; the clown's cheerful tone was ticking him off. "So how did you get that?"

"I stole it, of course. The ghost security is greatly laxed since that arrogant thief showed up."

"I see, so how do you want me to kick your butt?" Danny asked, getting ready for a fight.

"That depends on if you can actually hit me, boy."

Danny threw another energy blast at Freakshow who simply turned it away like before. He failed to react fast enough, though, to Danny's speeding kick to the stomach that threw him into the wall.

Freakshow laughed as he got back up, "I've been waiting for this for quite some time. Please do put on a good show."

At that comment, Danny rushed at Freakshow again, fists glowing. He made several blows at the madman, but had each one blocked. Freakshow laughed again, "Is that really the best you can do?" As Freakshow laughed, he was blasted into the wall again by Danny.

Rage filled his eyes as he looked at the ghost teen, "I guess this will be interesting after all."

The two then exchanged blows at one another with inhuman speed. Neither of them realized that they were slowly floating upwards as their fighting continued. Finally, Danny landed a good kick to Freakshow's stomach that nearly knocked the wind out of him.

"You may have ghost powers, Freakshow, but you're still only human," Danny retorted.

Coughing, Freakshow glanced up, "Yes, but so are they."

Danny turned around to see Lydia floating behind him with Sam and Tucker bound by her ghost tattoos. Danny scowled as Freakshow came closer, "You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them, would you?"

Tucker and Sam tried to say something, but the tattoos covered their mouths and muffled their speech.

"Don't move or they'll fall to the ground and splatter."

Danny was about ready to punch the clown until he realized the position he was in. He dropped down his guard and merely hovered in place.

"That's a good boy. Now stand still there and this won't hurt a bit," Freakshow mocked, coming closer with a glowing fist. He raised his hand, ready to strike, when a sharp noise was heard and the glow from his hand disappeared. Freakshow blinked for a few seconds and realized that the locket was flying high in the air. He blinked again, and then plummeted to the ground, screaming. Lydia, on instinct, dropped the two hostages and chased after her master.

Danny, not wasting a second, chased after his falling friends. He caught up and managed to grab Tucker by the arm. He was about to grab Sam's hand when a barrage of ghost tattoos separated the boys from her. She looked at the closing in ground below her, shut her eyes tightly, and waited for impact. Suddenly, a pair of arms gently caught her and carried her back up into the sky. Sam opened her eyes ready to say thank you when she recognized the one who caught her: Phantom Thief Kid.

She was so surprised by her rescuer that she barely noticed the strange hang glider that the Kid was using. He looked down at her charmingly, "Don't worry, my lady. I got you."

His charm and arrogant smile caused her to blush fiercely against her own will. She was about to say something when in the corner of her eye, she saw the locket falling to the ground with speed.

"The locket!"

Kid nonchalantly pulled out his strange gun and shot at the falling locket. Just as it was about to hit the ground and smash to pieces, the card shot from the gun kicked it back up in the air where Kid swooped down and caught it easily even while carrying Sam.

They glided down to the roof of a building where Kid gently let down Sam. Sam stood there amazed and confused. Amazed at what Kid just did, and confused as to why.

"That was quite some fall you had there. It was a good thing I showed up," said Kid, a playful tone escaping his lips. Sam blushed again as she stammer, "Th-thank you."

Kid smiled handsomely and bowed gracefully, "It was my pleasure, my lady."

"If you don't mind me asking, but why did you save me?"

The same charming smile appeared on Kid's face, nearly stopping her heart, "I couldn't let a beautiful dark flower as yourself be splatter on the ground like that."

"But why were you here in the first place," Sam asked, trying as hard as she could to keep her mind focus.

"No particular reason," Kid replied, unfazed.

Sam knew that wasn't the case, "Tell me the truth," and she pointed her ghost gun at him.

Kid sighed, "Always resorting to violence." Sam looked confused and dropped her guard. Kid walked up to her, her heart beating faster with each step. He gently pulled the gun away from her hand and held her chin like a lover, "If I told you it would compromise my job," he kissed her on the cheek, blood rushing to them afterwards, blood rushing to them afterwards, "besides your beloved will wonder you have gone off to since I would have to keep you somewhere safe until my job is done."

"My beloved?" Sam asked bewildered.

Kid smiled, "The young boy whose parents are in charge of protecting the exhibit."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Sam yelled, blushing again.

Kid tipped his hat, "Of course not," he said playfully.

She was about to say something when Danny and Tucker appeared on the roof. Danny saw how Kid was holding Sam and screamed, "GET AWAY FROM HER!" He charged at Kid who simply jumped out of range when he got too close. Danny positioned himself in front of Sam protectively, not unnoticed by Kid. A small crept on his face, "I see. Then I must take my leave." He turned and his cape turned into a hang glider once more. "I shall see you quite soon, I should think. Until then, gentlemen, my lady, farewell." He then jumped over the building and flew off into the moonlight.

Danny was about to follow him when Sam stopped him, "No!"

"Sam?" Danny asked confused and a little scared.

"He saved us, Danny. He cut the locket off Freakshow and caught me before I hit the ground. Let's just let him go for now," Sam pleaded. Danny scowled and then sighed. He had enough on this thief.

Freakshow looked up and saw the white thief disappear into the moonlight as well and slightly cursed. The thief wasn't going to beat him again.

Yay! Chapter seven is up! Hurray! Also, not nearly as a boring chapter as the last one, hurray!

Yes, I know Sam might have been a little out of character, but seriously there's no many girls who can fight Kid's charm, but I still hand her be tough though.

By the way, the reason Kid knows of the implied relationship of Sam and Danny is because he also spied on the Fentons as well as Freakshow and he knows how to put together two and two. Uh duh, he's a genius. So yeah, he figures things out pretty easily. Also, please note that yes, Sam is going to get a lot of crap about the Kid seen, especially from Tucker, which will not be a good idea =).

Until next time!
