A/N: This one is a continuation of 'Family', so it'll probably make a little more sense if you go read that chapter. Anyways, this chapter is Lancer, and it is also a switch of POV from 'Family'.

I was a little worried for Danny, although he seemed a lot happier after his demonstration. I mean, it was good that he established he can fight, but questions will come up about how he learned to fight. Maybe I could lie for him and say that I taught him, and that Danny wanted to train on his own without them knowing. That would make more sense than telling them the truth, anyways. I know Danny is ready, but he still wants to protect Mom and Dad. Honestly, I don't blame him.

But, after the demonstration, Mom and Dad kept giving a rundown on their weapons. They didn't have anyone demonstrate anymore, however, because 'we shouldn't handle dangerous weapons'. I heard coughing that sounded suspiciously like they were trying to smother their laughter. I was almost snickering, myself.

Mom and Dad also decided to show everybody how the ghost portal works. I didn't think it made sense, but I couldn't persuade my parents from showing how the genetic lock works.

The worst possible thing happened- a ghost escaped. But it wasn't just any ghost; it was Walker and his ghost police. I bit my lip and everybody who wasn't family or friend screamed. Two ghost police officers blocked the exit and Walker flew over to Danny, cuffing him almost instantaneously, as he was nowhere near any weapons that he could use. The rest of the ghost police engaged the rest of the class, and we were all cuffed within a minute. Walker started to personally escort Danny to the front and the police herded us in a group behind him.

When we got into the Ghost Zone, there were white police van. Danny, Sam, and Tucker were thrown into one van. My parents, the rest of Danny's class, Mr. Lancer, and I were thrown in another. Walker drove the first vehicle and another ghost, who I guessed was Walker's personal assistant or something, drove our van. The windows were blacked out, so nobody could see where we were going. The vans must've been human proof; I tried to phasing through the ground, and it didn't work.

When we got to our destination (the prison), Danny, Sam, and Tucker were surrounded by six guards. They had ankle cuffs on their ankles, and they were shuffled into the cells first. Danny was put in a much smaller cell, meant for one person. Sam and Tucker's cell was meant for an extremely large group of people, and I suspected that everybody in the van I was in were going to be out in the same cell that Sam and Tucker were in.

I was right, and there were twenty-three people in the cell; Mom, Dad, Mr. Lancer, Sam, Tucker, Dash, Kwan, Paulina, Star, Valerie, Mikey, Nathan, Hannah, Julia, Markus, Liam, Kelly, Robin, Owen, Yvonne, Frankie, Kendall, and I. Danny was the only one in his.


It's been a day and I'm already sick of this place. Almost everybody is, except for Danny. I think that he might be a little more comfortable in the Ghost Zone than any of us because of his half-ghost status, but I also know it makes Danny more uncomfortable in the human realm, so I guess it's only fair.

But right now, Danny was being taken to questioning. Once he was gone, the police told us that we could watch from behind a two-way mirror. Sam, Tucker, and I hesitated, but when everybody else immediately said yes, we agreed. Sam, Tucker, and I needed to know what Walker was doing to Danny.

We were paraded down the hall and into a large room. Like the guards said, there was a two-way mirror, and we could see through. Danny was on the other side, looking extremely bored, tied to an examination table. Nobody was in the room with him. My parents rushed over to the window and banged on it, but Danny must've not been able to hear us.

Walker showed up a couple of minutes later, his rule book in hand. He floated over to the side of the table and pulled a switch. Electrical shocks started to rack Danny's body, and he just grimaced in pain. When the shocks stopped, Danny was breathing a little harder. "Hey! What was that for?" Danny asked incredulously.

"That's for being a nuisance." Walker replied, smiling cruelly. "What did I do?" Danny complained, straining against the restraints. "You drove an unauthorized vehicle-" Walker started.

"Okay, that was not my fault! My mom hit the stupid Specter Speeder and it rocketed into the Ghost Zone!" Danny said, wriggling in his uncomfortable position. Mom bit her lip, looking guilty. Mr. Lancer looked at them with a slightly amused expression.

"- you were trafficking human contraband-" Walker continued. "I accidentally knocked it in! I was getting it out." Danny countered. My parents frowned, probably wondering what Danny was talking about.

"-you staged a prison break-"

"I didn't do anything wrong!"

"-and you avoided arrest." Walker finished, snapping his rule book closed.

"Like I said, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG." Danny stated again, exasperated.

"Also, you let one of my prisoners escape into your world, but I'm willing to let that go if you tell me where he is." Walker added.

"No." Danny responded, glowering at the ghost. Walker smiled and pressed a button that shocked Danny. The shocks were slightly longer and probably a bit more intense, as Danny's face scrunched up in pain.

"Now, you will tell me where Wulf is." Walker stated.

"NO. He's free, I got him free, and I don't know where he is." Danny retorted, slightly quieter. Walker raised an eyebrow and shocked Danny harder and longer. Danny started screaming slightly, and everyone in the room took a sharp breath in.

"One last chance, Punk."

"Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you." Walker shrugged and pressed the button once more. However, he left it on and stormed out of the room angrily. Danny started screaming, the shocks not really stopping. Then police came in soon after, escorting the group out of the room and back to the cell. My parents were confused and worried, tears trickling down their cheeks. Sam and Tucker were shaking, and I was shell shocked. Even though Sam, Tucker, and I had heard passing mention of Danny being shocked, we had never really seen him getting shocked like that. And who knows, maybe Danny was still being shocked, still in that awful room.


It must've been four or five hours later when Danny was shuffled quietly back to his cell. Everybody squeezed over to the side that we shared. Mom and Sam got the closest.

"Danny!" Sam cried, making my brother smile.

"Danny, are you okay? We saw that awful ghost interrogate and shock you." Mom said, stroking his hair. Danny frowned, biting his lip.

"Oh. Yeah, I'll be okay." Danny said, sounding tired.

"Danny, how long were you being shocked? We were forced out soon after the ghost stopped interrogating you. And don't lie to your mother." Mom said, sounding worried, yet firm. Danny chuckled quietly.

"It stopped just before I was let go." Danny responded quietly. Mom gasped. "Not at the same settings for the entire time." Danny explained quickly. "Usually they were just low shocks for an extended period of time." Mom was about to respond when Danny yawned, sliding to the floor. Sam quickly took Danny's pulse, making sure he was still alive. Sam nodded to Mom and everybody scooted away from my brother. I smiled at his sleeping form.

Mr. Lancer was the first person to speak after a silent period that was probably about five minutes long. "We need to wait for Daniel to wake up and them we need to get out of here." He said. I was slightly shocked that Mr. Lancer said that. I knew he was a great teacher, but I thought he didn't like Danny very much. Maybe I was wrong about Mr. Lancer.

Ok, apology time.

I'm really sorry I haven't updated in forever. The funny thing is, I wrote this before Phanniemay was over... yeah. Hehe. Anyways, I hope this one's good enough, and I understand if you don't want to read this anymore.

This, I think, will be continued in trio. I really like it, even though it is still unedited. Review?
