There is a reason why there is four Ghostbusters instead of just one. Holtz could barely make one move without being thrown back my the ghost. She managed to crawl under a car door and use it as a shield. Where was Erin when you needed her? She usually took the full slime. Holtz tried to fashion a makeshift proton gun with what she could find using the wielder she always had in her pocket but it was no use. The ghost didn't seem to be letting up either, he managed to knock the shield from her back. Holtz scrambled to her feet and began to run. It was all she could think to do, her feet pounded into the sidewalk. She heard the ghost behind her, on her tail. She stopped looking back and just focused on getting back to the firehouse, getting back to safety in numbers and actual working machinery. Holtz arrived at the firehouse and hauled herself up the stairs. She burst through the doors and crumpled to her knees.
"Ghost..." she managed to choke out whilst pointing outside. Erin, Patty and Abby stared at her. They were still at the table.
"What's going on Holtz?" Abby asked.
"Ghost!" she shouted. She stood up properly and winced. She straightened her back out and crossed the room to look out of the window.
"There was a ghost..." Holtz said slightly dazed. The ghost was gone...it had stopped following her.
"Holtz quit playing," Patty snapped, clearly still annoyed at Holtz outburst.
"Yeah, Holtz this isn't helping," Erin added.
"No! I'm not kidding, there was a ghost. Look I got slimed!" Holtz shouted pointing to the light slime on her cuffs. Erin frowned at how little there was.
"Yeah right," she said loudly. Holtz shot her a look. She shook her head.
"Well what do you think this is!" she said, pointing back to the slime. Erin shook her head.
"You're a scientist Holtz...making green goo isn't exactly going to be hard for you is it?" Erin added coldly.
"You don't believe me," she whispered. Abby stood up and put her arms on Holtz's shoulders.
"I get that you're angry, we all are, that's why we need to pull together. Not break apart. Holtz okay just drop it yeah?" Holtz snatched her arms away and tried to stop herself from crying.
"I saw a ghost," she stammered. Erin and Patty turned away and started to clean up the pizza boxes.
"Come on Holtz, we can look at the tech again...see if we can make anymore changes," Abby tried to coax her over to her desk. Holtzmann stood her ground.
"No. You said that if a ghost showed up we would go ahead and bust it. so that's exactly what I'm going to do." Holtz announced loudly, before grabbing her jumpsuit and proton pack.
"Jillian!" Abby shouted. Holtzmann didn't look back. She stormed back out of the firehouse and went looking for the ghost.
