I don't own anything other than the story.

Chapter 4: Enemy

Gibbs had no idea what 'Danny Phantom' was saying. He still didn't believe that the boy was really a ghost, despite his claims and was eager to question him. He raised the handcuffs and snapped them on Danny's wrists.

Danny looked down at his hands in horror and quickly phased out of them, allowing them to drop to the floor. Now Gibbs knew what he was dealing with.

A real ghost. Who was now a suspect.

"Phantom, come with us."

Things just don't like going right, do they? Danny couldn't believe he was in this situation; being surrounded by cops who were accusing him of murder was not on his agenda.

"Look," Danny said, taking a step back, "I had nothing to do with this."

"If you come with us," Gibbs said, "You can prove it."

Danny highly doubted that, considering that Gibbs had his gun still trained on him. I'm supposed to be leading them away from here! Danny thought to himself. I need to get them away from here. It would be better for them if I just…disappear!

Danny turned invisible and flew away, daring not to look back at the NCIS crew on the ground.

"Where'd he go?" Tony asked.

Gibbs lowered his gun, but kept his eyes trained on spot where he last saw the boy. "I don't know. He's gone." He turned to his team with a determined look on his face. "We now have our primary subject."

"A kid?" Ziva asked.

"A kid who just bolted from us. He knows something."

"Good luck finding him," Tony said, laughing a little, "He's a ghost. You heard him, nobody can catch a ghost with hancuffs and guns."

"Except ghost hunters." Gibbs replied.

He had an idea.

Danny flew up into the HQ and found the room where his friends were waiting. Unsurprisingly, they were both awake, awake from the moment they noticed that their friend had left his sleeping bag. Danny ran a hand through his hair as he transformed back.

"Bad news guys, they think I'm a criminal."

"What?!" Sam asked, discarding her purple sleeping bag and rushing to where Danny was standing. "Did they shoot at you?"

"No. Although Gibbs was itching to try." Danny winced at the memory of the look on Gibbs' face.

"You shouldn't have gone." Sam said bluntly.

"Thanks for the late notice, Sam." Danny said, getting into his blue sleeping bag, which was next to Tucker's green one, "I'll just have to lay off being Phantom for a while. Right now, I'm exhausted."

Sam looked at Tucker as Danny rolled over and went to sleep. Neither of them thought that it would be as simple as that.

Indeed, mere hours later, all three teens found themselves being shaken awake by Ziva.

"Gibbs wants to talk to you three," she said.

Danny gulped and glanced at his friends. He had a pretty good idea of what Gibbs wanted to talk about. As Ziva led them to the bullpen, Danny looked for signs in the Agent's face to confirm his thoughts. He found nothing.

Gibbs and Tony were standing behind McGee at his computer when they entered. When Gibbs saw the teens, he began speaking.

"'Danny Phantom, deputized ghost boy, with a 60% approval rating, of Amity Park, Illinois.' Have you heard of him?"

Danny, Tucker, and Sam exchanged glances and nodded.

"He protects the town." Danny said.

"So he really is a ghost?"

"Yes."

Gibbs looked at Danny for a long time. "May I contact your parents, Danny?"

Danny gulped, knowing that the reason mustn't be good. "Why?"

"Danny Phantom was seen last night, near the crime scene. He's our primary suspect in this case."

"Aren't your parents ghost hunters?" Tony asked Danny.

Danny smiled weakly and looked at his friends. All three of them knew that getting his parents involved with Danny Phantom was never a good idea.

"Um…sure." Danny was sure that suspicion of them would be heightened if he refused. He wrote down their number on a scrap sheet of paper and braced himself for the worst.

"So, Mr. Gibbs, what's this about?"

Gibbs was sitting across from Jack and Maddie Fenton in the interrogation room. He was a bit surprised, when he first met them, at the fact that they were wearing HAZMAT suits; this aspect that they had in common with Phantom made him more eager to talk with them.

They had insisted on being with their son from the moment they stepped into the room so Gibbs found himself staring at Danny as well. Gibbs could tell that Danny didn't want to be in the room; squirming in his chair and glancing at the door every few minutes.

"You are scientists, correct?"

"Only the best ghost hunters in Amity Park!" Jack said, his eyes widening. "Anything with an ecto-signature cowers before us!"

Gibbs noticed that Danny rolled his eyes at this statement.

"We capture and contain ecto-organisms." Maddie said, glaring at her husband. "We study them. As far as we know, we have the most extensive knowledge on ghosts in Amity Park."

"Alight then. Is there anything you can tell me about Danny Phantom?"

Danny cringed, waiting for all hell to break loose.

"That creep has been terrorizing our town for months!" Jack exclaimed.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow. Clearly, the Fentons were part of the 40% that hated Phantom. "Terrorizing?"

"Yes, terrorizing." Maddie said, the anger in her voice apparent. "That ghost child is evil, like all other ghosts. It is unclear what he wants from the town but there's no doubt he'll want some…evil payment for his 'heroics'."

Gibbs looked at Danny again and saw that the boy was fuming in his chair. "You disagree, Danny?"

"Well, yeah." Danny said, looking at his parents. "Danny Phantom isn't evil. He's saved the town countless times."

"Oh, and let's not forget the fact that he's brainwashing our kids…"

"I'm serious!" Danny said, glaring at his mother, "So you're saying that he didn't save the town from being permanently trapped in the ghost zone?!"

"What about when he was helping that…Freakshow criminal? Or when he held the mayor hostage? " Maddie countered.

"Brainwashing and overshadowing."

Gibbs thought it was a good time to butt in, before the argument got out of hand. "So you know this…Danny Phantom…pretty well?"

"Yes." Jack said. "What has he got to do with anything?"

"He's a suspect in our case and I thought that you could help me catch him."

"Oh, of course!" Maddie said, tearing her eyes from Danny's adamant face to look at Gibbs. "We'll help you catch Phantom."

Ten minutes later, Danny emerged from the interrogation room to find Sam and Tucker waiting for him.

"Dude," Tucker asked immediately, "What was that about?"

"Mom and Dad are now involved."

"NO!" Tucker and Sam shouted in unison.

Danny only nodded, noticing Ziva and McGee staring at them from across the room.

"What if it's your jerky self?"

"Wha-huh?" Danny turned back and saw slightly scared expressions on his friends' faces. "Why would it be him? Clockwork has him. It's got to be Wulf.

That thought reminded him of something. "McGee!" Danny called. "Where's Tony?"

"Gibbs placed him to watch for that portal thing."

Both agents noticed the horror in the teens' eyes and looked at each other. "What?"

"I, uh, gotta go!" Danny said, bolting from the room. Tucker and Sam plastered innocent looks on their faces.

"Bathroom." Sam said.

"Uh huh?" Ziva said, not buying the excuse, "Where's he really going?"

Tucker and Sam exchanged glances. "We can't say."

"Because you don't know? Or…"

"We just can't, okay?" Sam said firmly.

Ziva smiled; she was beginning to like this fierce girl more and more. At that moment, Gibbs appeared.

"Where's Danny?" he asked.

"Bathroom." Sam said quickly. All Gibbs had to do was look at Ziva to know that Sam was lying.

"Sam? Tucker? May I…" Gibbs gestured for them to follow him into the interrogation room. Jack and Maddie had already left the room.

"What's going on?" Gibbs asked. He liked getting to the point, especially in cases where kids were involved; the quicker the truth came out, the better it was for everybody.

Tucker and Sam didn't budge. "What do you mean?"

"How are you two involved with Danny Phantom?"

Tucker and Sam took a few seconds before answering. "He's saved us a few times."

"So he's a friend?"

Sam shifted a little and looked at the dark screen, not knowing if anyone was behind it. "Kinda."

"Are you helping him?" Gibbs said. He was beginning to think that his 'witnesses' weren't witnesses at all. Unfortunately, he could see that both kids had guessed what he was thinking.

"He didn't kill anybody." Tucker said.

"We're sure of it." Sam added through gritted teeth.

Gibbs had to hand it to them, their devotion to this Phantom guy was strong. "Sure of it?"

Tucker and Sam looked at each other. How do we get out of this one?

As soon as he had heard McGee's statement, he sprinted for the nearest empty room. This was not good; what if a portal opened and something happened to Tony. Danny vaguely remembered Skulker's 'visit' to the HQ.

Transforming, he flew through the roof and began searching for the agent. Within minutes, he spotted the black car than he knew belonged to Tony. Looking in the car, he saw that it was empty.

Danny, fearing the worst, stepped into the alleyway. "Hello? ?"

That was when he spotted it. A half-eaten sandwich on the ground.

A glowing green portal was open mere meters from it.

And Tony was gone.

There you have it, another chapter. What has happened to Tony? Will he be alright? How will Danny save him? The next chapter will reveal more! Thanx for reading!

Till next time,
