I don't own Danny Phantom or NCIS

Chapter 2: Escaped

Ding.

Danny, Sam and Tucker, closely followed by the NCIS agents, walked into the NCIS HQ. McGee, hearing the sound of the elevator, looked up and saw the three teens.

"Who are they?" he looked questioningly at Gibbs.

"Witnesses." Gibbs said. "I'll be right back." With that, he left the room.

Sam and Tucker waved at McGee. "Hi."

Danny, however, was looking around the office. That portal didn't open for no reason, he thought. Whatever opened that portal-.

"Danny, what is it?"

He looked up to see Ziva watching him. "It's nothing."

Sam and Tucker were looking at him too. "Later." He whispered to them.

"So," Tony said, "Are you guys from around here?"

"No," Danny said. "We're here for summer vacation. Amity Park is our hometown."

"What's it like there?"

"It's…okay." Danny said, exchanging glances with his friends. McGee noticed this.

"Wasn't that the town that went missing for a few hours one day?"

Now Tony and Ziva also noticed the nervous glances that the teens gave each other. What are they hiding? They're obviously nervous about something, each agent thought.

Danny, Sam and Tucker took a deep breath.

"It's also the most haunted town in the USA." McGee pressed on, watching their reactions.

This time, Sam and Tucker looked at Danny, who blushed slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but froze and turned.

"What?" Tony asked, thinking that Danny was looking at him. Until the sound of laughter from behind him made him turn as well, pulling his gun out.

What he saw almost made him drop his gun. There was a man in an armored suit who was…floating. The man literally had flaming hair that was electric green and green eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, Tony saw Ziva pull out her gun and point it at the man. "Who are you?" she demanded.

"I am Skulker," the man replied. "The Ghost Zone's greatest hunter." He then pulled out a gun-like weapon and shot at Danny.

"Danny!" Sam and Tucker cried as Danny fell to the floor. But their friend was alright, the ecto-bullet had only grazed his side.

"Kids, get back!" Tony said, glancing behind him, only to find that they were gone. He spotted them hiding under a table, looking up at Skulker.

"Danny, do something!" Sam said from beside him.

"I can't go ghost with these guys here!" Danny replied, clutching his side. He was glad that his ghost powers allowed him to heal quickly but right now, he could only watch.

"Why do you have the ghost child here?" Skulker asked Tony.

"Ghost child?" Tony said, lowering his gun slightly, "Sorry buddy, Casper's not here."

"He is here." Skulker said, pulling out a glowing green sword,, "I tracked him here."

"You're not hurting anybody else." Ziva said, she opened fire. The bullets zoomed harmlessly through the man and embedded themselves in the wall behind. Tony laughed.

"Gibbs is going to kill you, Ziva."

The man laughed. "Your silly bullets cannot hurt me."

Suddenly, a jetpack appeared on his back. "What?! I thought I fixed that!"

Before Tony or Ziva could ask what the man meant, he rocketed through the ceiling but turned invisible at the last second. From under the table, Danny and Sam high-fived Tucker.

"Thanks Tuck." Danny said as they climbed out from under the table. "Your tech has saved us again."

"I know." Tucker said, looking at his PDA lovingly.

Gibbs came through a doorway, holding a gun. "I heard gunfire! Is everyone okay?"

Then he put his gun down.

"Why the hell are there bullets in the wall?!"

"And that was when he disappeared."

Tony was just finishing his story about Skulker while Gibbs listened thoughtfully. Ziva, McGee and the three teens nodded in agreement.

"He kept asking for a ghost child?" Gibbs asked.

Tony nodded. "That's what Iron Man wanted."

"Where did he say he was from again?"

"The Ghost Zone."

Danny's thoughts were confirmed. He must have gotten through that portal we saw! Danny thought. But, the last time I checked, Skulker can't make portals to anywhere. So how did he get through?

"Ghosts…" Gibbs said. "There are no such things. He could have been lying."

Danny and Sam shot Gibbs indignant looks. "What?" he asked.

"There are such things as ghosts. We happen to live in the most haunted place in the USA!"

"Amity Park." McGee said to Gibbs' puzzled look.

"Do you know who Skulker is?" Gibbs asked them.

"NO!" they said, firmly. Gibbs raised an eyebrow. "N-not personally." Once again, Tucker and Sam glanced at Danny.

"Okay then." Gibbs said, still unsure.

It was decided that the three children would stay at the headquarters, especially since Danny had gotten injured right after being at the crime scene; the NCIS crew thought that Skulker had something to do with the Navy SEAL's murder and that sending the children home would be too dangerous. The Fentons agreed.

Now, it was 5:00PM, half an hour since Skulker's appearance, and Danny was walking into the morgue with a sinking feeling. His shoulder had healed, his ghost powers making sure of that, but how was he going to explain himself. Gibbs was standing behind him.

"Time to meet Ducky, kid." He said.

Danny gulped and opened the door.

"Ah, Jethro." A short man said, turning from a body on the table. He saw Danny. "Who is this young lad then?"

"Ducky, meet Danny. Danny, meet Ducky."

"Um…" Danny said. What doctor is called Ducky? "Hi."

"A man attacked HQ earlier and Danny got shot." Gibbs said. "I need to check something." He left.

Ducky led Danny to a nearby chair. "I thought I heard gunshots! Poor kid."

"Yeah, well…" Danny said, trailing off. He suddenly wished that Sam and Tucker were here with him; they were upstairs eating and had not been allowed to follow Danny and Gibbs.

Ducky lifted up Danny's shirt and gasped. Even though he had seen the boy with a bloodstain on his shirt, there was no sign of an attack on his skin. "What is this?" he asked.

"Um. He missed?" Danny said, grinning innocently.

"Well, I don't believe that." Ducky said. "You have a bloodstain on your shirt which is, most likely, yours."

"Oh." Danny said, his heart dropping even more. "Well, I guess I heal quickly."

Ducky looked at Danny oddly. "Are you okay, Danny?"

Danny noticed that he was breathing heavily and forced himself to slow down.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

After leaving Danny with Ducky, Gibbs went to find McGee. He found him at his desk, alone.

"McGee, did you find 'Fenton' for me?"

McGee looked up. "Jack and Madeline Fenton live in Amity Park with their two children Daniel and Jasmine Fenton. Jack an Madeline are ghost hunters."

"Ghost hunters?" Gibbs asked, sipping a cup of coffee.

"Ghost scientists more like. But they rarely catch ghosts."

"Oh." Gibbs said. " Anything about Danny and Jasmine?"

"Danny and Jasmine, who prefers to be called Jazz, both go to Casper High. Danny is in the 9th grade while Jazz is in 11th. She is studying child psychology."

McGee then paused and looked at Gibbs. "Danny's academic life is more ambiguous. He used to do very well in school but his grades have dropped in the last few months. He's constantly excusing himself during class and disappearing."

"Drugs and truancy?"

"Maybe, but we can't be sure. He seems healthy for a kid his age. Any you should have seen how fast his reactions were when he noticed the attacker."

"What?!" Gibbs said, putting his coffee down. He hadn't heard this part of the story.

"Yeah, it was really weird. First, Danny was talking to me, then he stiffened and turned moments before we noticed the man for ourselves."

"Hmm…" Gibbs left the room, deep in thought.

This kid…

"How could some alleyway murderer be this good?! No fingerprints, no dropped items, no nothing!"

Tony and Ziva were shining their flashlights around the alleyway and within a fifty meter radius of the scene. Nothing.

"Y'know," Tony said, giving up. "I'm beginning to think all this ghost stuff is real. Maybe our man was killed by a ghost."

"Tell that to Gibbs," Ziva said, "And he'll kill you."

As she said that, a loud noise was heard. A green shape formed out of thin air. The two agents stood there, stunned.

"What the hell is that?!" Ziva shouted.

A wolf's head appeared, making the agents jumped. When Wulf saw the two agents, he was confused. Where was Danny? He wanted Danny. Suddenly, he felt a hand grip his tail. "Helpi mi!" He screamed at the two agents.

All they could do was watch in shock as Wulf was pulled back through the portal. It then closed, leaving no trace that it was there. Tony turned to Ziva, his eyes wide with shock.

"Well that was the weirdest thing I have ever seen."

Yes, yes. Tony and Ziva got a glimpse of Wulf. What happens when they mention the incident back at HQ in front of Danny, Sam and Tucker. Sorry if it seemed kinda dull until the end; I got writer's block halfway through. PLEASE review!

Till next time
