Chapter 37

DANNY'S POV

"Mrs. Fenton," Cari began to scream, "help the ghost boy, he's dragging me down to the lab." I have to admit her acting skills were amazing, she sounded genuinely terrified. Sadly her acting skills were not working in my favor and since she was in her human forms the effects of the rope were not as strong

My mom came running into the room pointing a gun at me. I had to drop the rope to shield myself from her shot. When I looked back at Cari she had already wriggled out of the rope. "Way to go Mrs. Fenton." Cari said in a very odd and rather disturbing tone while walking towards my mom.

"You are a really good ghost hunter," Cari stopped and made direct eye contact with my mom, her head slightly tilted to the right, "but that makes you a problem." She continued to maintain eye contact as she shifted back into her ghost form.

"C-Cari you're a-a ghost." my mom stuttered before she aimed her gun at the girl I was trying to save, "Not only that, you're the ghost who took Jack. Ill destroy you!" she screamed as she began to fire at everything and anything.

I flew through my mom's reign of destruction and tackled Red and somehow managed to drag her down to the lab before one of my mom's attacks landed on her. Tucker figured out what was going on and bolted the lab door so that my mom couldn't follow us.

"Quick someone find something to hold her still!" I yelled as Cari stood back up and regained her sense of direction.

Sam ran over to Cari holding a Fenton Thermos and sucked her up. "Sorry Cari" she whispered as she screwed on the lid although it was hard to hear her over the banging on the lab door.

"We have to think of something quick." Tucker said after he had returned from the stairs.

"I hate to say it but I think we need to go have a chat with Vlad." I said shifting back into my human form.

"Ya like he's gonna help us. He did this to her!" Sam shouted she was clenching her teeth so hard it made my jaw hurt to look at her.

"Then we'll force information out of him." I told her simply.

"Should we take her with us?" Tucker asked pointing towards the thermos in Sam's hand.

"Ya just in case."

"Now that we have that figured out, what are we going to do about your mom?" Tucker asked.

"I'll go tell her that the ghost boy flew away. Hopefully she won't realize that the ghost shield is still on though."

After I ran up the stairs and told my mom my very well thought out lie and we all headed off into the ghost zone. Sam and Tucker kept the Fenton Thermos in the Spector Speeder with them. I lead the way to Vlad's portal. The scene we found on the other side was not a good one. Glass was shattered and spread everywhere, lights were flickering and sparks were showering the floor at random intervolves.

"What do you think happened here?" Tucker asked as he kicked aside a broken chair.

"I'm going to place my bets on a ghostly battle." Sam said as she inspected a damaged door.

I kicked around a few damaged items but immediately stopped when I spotted a huge glass box the seemed undamaged. When I turned to get a better look at it. Inside it I could see my Dad's unmistakable orange jumpsuits. "Dad!" I yelled just before I shifted into my human form and ran over to him, Sam and Tucker following directly behind me. My Dad was slumped against the far corner of the box. I began to panic and started hitting every button I could in order to open the box. After what seemed like forever the box collapsed into the floor and I ran over to my Dad.
