Oswald?”

“Sure, sure I hear your voice, I always hear voices, up on the surface, in the dark, and down here where I work.”

“Yes but you’ve never heard my voice before have you.”

“No, no I can’t say that I have. What’s different about your voice?”

“I can be everywhere, and yet nowhere. I can be physical, or spiritual. I can be protective or horrifying. I am the ghost Oswald, and the people of this city have asked me to bring you to justice.” as Oswald listened he kept turning around trying to find anything that he could see.

“H-how did you know it was me?”

“I spotted you as you went through the crowd of the central arcade.”

“How did you know I was the one?”

“Your eyes showed my Oswald, I knew then how much you hate crowds.”

“My eyes showed you?”

“Yes Oswald, your eyes are the windows into your soul, and once I was able to look into your soul it all became very clear to me.”

“But how did you know where I worked.”

“Your soul is like a book Oswald, once I was able to read your soul I knew everything about you, even where you keep your explosives.” with that Oswald turned to his locker, as he walked up to it he grabbed the handle. “I wouldn’t open that door Oswald, your not going to like what you see.”

“Well your not me.” with that Oswald flung the door of the locker open only to freeze after looking into Shade’s eyes.

“I warned you that you wouldn’t like what you saw.” Shade said, as he kept his eyes locked with Oswald. “Now listen very carefully Oswald, there is going to be a group of police officers at the end of the street ten minutes before 11, your going to walk up to them holding one of your bombs, do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Good, now your going to remain in this position until 15 minutes to 11, is that understood?”

“Yes.”

“Only to the chief of police, and the mayor will you ever reveal what has transpired here tonight, understood?”

“Yes” with that Shade broke eye contact, and walked out of the office. When the time came Oswald did as he was commanded, at the end of the street a group of cops stood around a squad car looking around.

“So Chief what are we looking for?”

“Just keep looking, he… I mean I have a hunch.” with that the Chief looked past the officer and could see Oswald walking towards them holding something. “Who’s that, what are they caring?” As Oswald got closer the chief’s eyes widened as he could clearly see what the raccoon was holding in his arms. “DYNAMITE!! GRAB HIM!!” as the officers tackled Oswald and got the explosives away from him the Chief walked up and looked at the raccoon.

“Let go of me I have to get rid of the crowds, I have to destroy them, I have to blow them up.” Oswald ranted on as the officer put the cuffs on him and hauled him away.

“What in the world would make him think he could just walk right up to us?” an officer asked, as he looked at the Chief.

“I don’t know, but take this, and make sure that he doesn’t get away.” with that the chief handed the bomb to the officer and watched his man leave. Once he was sure he was alone the chief started to look around not able to see a “I know you’re here, some where.” the chief went around in circles in the street, leaving no stone unturned as he tried to find Shade.

“Looking for something chief?” as the chief turned around he looked up and saw Shade standing across the street.

“Rather risky move you played, care to fill me in on how he did it?”

“Oswald can fill you in on how he did it, but his weapon of choice was being provided by the city.”

“I see.” the Chief looked up at the night sky and then back at Shade. “You know a lot of people in this city want me to bring you in.”

“I know.”

“And you are breaking the law at certain times when you rough up some of the criminals your bring in.”

“I know that as well.”

“but the funny thing is, I can never catch you.”

“I’m not to sure about that part sir.” The chief smiled slightly as he looked at Shade.

“I love this city ghost, I grew up here and swore to do what ever it took to clean up the streets and make it safe enough that people could leave their doors unlocked, and not worry about people stealing their belonging. But becoming a cop I’ve found that very hard to do, my officers have become jokes to the underworld crime bosses, and most of them I don’t even know if I can trust them fully.”

“Because I brought down a few of them being paid under the table to turn the other way.”

“That’s right, but you’ve given the underworld something to be scared of, we’ve actually had a few people that was broken out of jail by your imposter turn their selves in when they heard you had returned and wasn’t playing around.”

“Chief as much as I admire your hard work in protecting this city, among several others in your office, I must cut this short there is still plenty of night left and I still need to make my rounds.”

“Alright I understand, but let me say this. I don’t like your methods Ghost, but they get the job done, keep it clean, take no lives, and I’ll hold my men back from coming after you. That’s the only kind of deal I can give you.”

“I’ll do my best to help clean up our city chief, but the streets are turning into a battle field, that break out let loose some of Cape Suzettes most dangerous criminal master minds, so it’s going to be hard going for a while.”

“I guess I don’t have to warn you about that then.”

“I do however require something from you.” The chief crossed his arms and looked at Shade with a smirk.

“And that would be?”

“I need a list of criminals from your maximum security section of the prison that the break out was at.”

“Plan to take down the heads of the new underworld?” Shade didn’t answer the question he just smiled and vanished from sight. “WAIT!” there was no response and the chief found him self standing in the street alone.

(Case 3: Special delivery.)

After the capture of Oswald the city seem to go back to normal after a few weeks it was like nothing changed, As people carried on their normal lives in the city at Higher for hire things seem to be busy like always. At the Cape Suzette airport a passenger plane landed, as guest started to come off the plane a Tigress walked off the plane, holding her daughter who was fast asleep.

“Sheila honey let me hold Tiffany.”

“Oh thank you Kevin.” as soon as the tigress handed her daughter over to her husband a man ran up dressed as a ground crew member and put a gun to the woman’s head.

“Alright no body move and the dame don’t get hurt, Tell Shere Kahn that if he wants to see his sister alive again, He’ll pay the ransom of three million dollars by noon tomorrow and *SWACK!* OW!!” the kidnapper dropped his gun when a small cog hit his hand, as he turned to see who threw it he couldn’t see anyone in the direction the cog came from. “WHO DID THAT!?!” the mans loud voice woke the sleeping child. As the little girl looked around, and saw her mother being hostage, she reached out to her not wanting to loose her.

“MOMMY!!” Sheila looked at her daughter’s scared little face and smiled bravely for her.

“Don’t worry sweetie Mommy is O.K. and we’ll be together soon enough.” the kidnapper’s now throbbing hand wrapped around the woman’s throat as he slowly started to back away.

“I’m warning who ever threw that junk at me, try anything else and I’ll break this woman’s neck.” just then a small dart stuck the man’s hand causing him to scream out as he pulled the small dart from it but soon found himself swooning. “You rotten punk where are you, come out here and fight like a man.” before the man could say anything else he fell to his knees still trying to hold onto the woman only to be kicked in the face by her. As she ran to her husband the family held each other close as the security members ran up and put the man in cuffs.

“LOOK OVER THERE!” someone yelled, getting everyone to turn and look in the direction they were pointing, only to see a figure standing on some shipping crates a few feet away. “IT’S HIM, IT’S THE GHOST!!” another spectator yelled, and the family looked on only to watch Shade vanish in a cloud of smoke.

“Ghost.” the sound of panic was clear in the little girl’s voice as Sheila took her back into her arms.

“Don’t worry honey that was a good ghost a really good ghost... This ghost is like Danger Woman.” with that the little girl looked up at her mother and sniffled a few times.

“Really?”

“Really, now come on let’s go give your uncle a big surprise.” with that the little girl smile lit up her face getting her mother to give her another hug. While her father watched as the kidnapper was put into the back of a squad car and he clinched his fist in anger. An hour later Shere Kahn sat at his desk looking over several reports when he heard the sound of his Elevator door opening, as he
