Author note: I swear NCIS is coming next chapter, or at least nearly. I hate dragging it along, but…I just need a few things to happen first, and you lucky guys get to go inside Danny's head! Yay you… (that is next chapter mostly though).

Chapter 2- Family Issues:
Danny:
I yawned as I got up in the morning. I loved living here with Sam- after all, so far we've lived here for two weeks and no sign of anything. Tucker was coming over to the apartment for a game night-usually it's all of us playing DOOM, or having a movie marathon but Sam wanted to try something different- hence why we have games like Part-Cheesy, Apples to Apples, Guess who?, and Clue.
"Morning," Sam griped as she made breakfast.
"How do you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Look so...nice…after you just woke up."
It was true. I know she only woke up like ten minutes before me, yet she looked nice. Her hair was all nice and straightened. She didn't have makeup on- yet, but she looked nice, and not tired. Then there's me- looking tired, with bags under my eyes, hair messy. Of course, that doesn't mean she's a morning person…after all, she is actually grumpy in the morning (one reason why Tucker is coming over at lunch- the other reason being he won't be up till lunch).
Sam crinkled her nose and sat a plate at the table.
"So, Danny," Sam said, "I've been thinking and…what about our schooling?"
I groaned.
"But it's summer…"
"I know. I was thinking about after summer. Could we go to school?"
I took a bite of the eggs and Sam started to eat her salad.
"Well," I said as I swallowed, "I guess we'll have to get fake names and stuff…"
Sam nodded.
"I…I spoke to my Grandma yesterday…"
I choked on my milk.
"What- ehem…why?"
"Well, she somehow figured out that we weren't in Hawaii…and she called me to tell me that…and, look," Sam sighed, "I told her that we did run away…"
I nearly fainted.
"What why!?"
"Well," Sam scoffed, "For starters she was convinced that you and I had ran off to get married and Tucker was just coming along for the ride. I told her we weren't doing anything like that- and…well, to get to the point, I didn't tell her where we are, BUT she…Danny, she's happy for us."
"What…" I blinked. I knew her Grandma was cool, but still…
"I know, that's what my reaction was too, but Grandma's cool. She…she said that she would give us any money that we needed…and…anyway, I was just letting you know…speaking of money, do you think we should get jobs?"
I nodded.
"Yeah…I guess you're right…good luck breaking the news to Tucker though…"
"NOO," Tucker screamed dramatically, and then eyed me suspiciously.
"What?"
"Are you sure you aren't cheating?"
"What?"
"I mean, you could totally cheat."
Sam looked at me.
"He has a point. You have won the best three games in a row of Clue."
I huffed and stuck out my tongue.
"I have not been cheating…"
Sam sighed.
"I better go check the news…"
She left to go to her laptop. Tucker sighed.
"Is she always going to do that?"
"Yep."
For the past weeks we've lived here, Sam has always checked the Amity Park's news on the web. She never gets anything though.
"Oh no…"
Sam looked horrid. I ran to see what was wrong and so did Tucker. We looked at the screen in horror and sorrow.
Local ghost hunters, Jack Fenton and Madeline Fenton, declared dead. Found dead in the lab along with their daughter, Jazzmon Fenton. Details have not been released to the public as the bodies were in such a horrid condition.
The son, Daniel James Fenton, has yet to be found. Police suspect he is involved in the murder.
I felt my eye twitch.
No other suspects have been reported.
In later news, local families, the Manson's and Foleys, have been reported dead. The Manson's were found dead in their living room, in the same state as the Fenton's. Police suspect the same murder is involved. Foley's were found in same state. Children of families, Samantha Lilith Manson and Tucker Lee Foley are missing.
UPDATE: Police suspect serial killer is involved, possibly even the first missing child, Daniel Fenton. Any information please call Amity Police Forces.
In other news: Town cleared of ghosts AND local 'hero' Inviso-Bill. Mayor Masters disappeared, supposedly dead!
I groaned.
"So, because I was the first one missing, I'm the serial killer? Gotta love Amity Police Forces."
Tucker and Sam didn't laugh. I didn't blame them. I hugged both of them tightly as they cried.
"I'm sorry. This is all my fault!"
Hours later, we were still in the living room on the couch with an abandoned Clue game on the floor. I held Sam as she sobbed. I hugged Tucker as he cried, manly tears of course. We all held each other as we all cried. All of our families…dead…there's nothing…
I sat in bed, numb. I had finally got Sam to sleep. Still, she looked bothered even in her dreams. I still couldn't get it off my mind. This was my fault. This was all my fault…
