looking at a nightmarish scene, of the lost children looking back at him. “Enjoy your sleep over.” with those words Shade turned and left Seymour to the nightmares of his own mind, only to hear Seymour’s screams of terror fill the mine. Hours later after the chief had been called the entire mining facility was filled with cops, as the guards where brought up one by one, the chief looked at each of them and saw the terror that they had towards Shade. As chief Baldwin walked up beside him he patted Shade on the shoulder.

“You did good Ghost.”

“This day isn’t over with, I want the head of your child protective department at the orphanage by 5 o’clock tonight.” with that the chief nodded and then looked at Lupe who took control of the crime scene. Later that night Buffy Vanderschmere hung up the phone in the orphanage office with a smile on his face.

“This is the easiest money me and Muffy have made in years.” Buffy said, as he leaned back in his chair and smiled, when there came a knock on the door. “Come in.” with that the door flung open as if a large gust of wind knocked it open getting Buffy to sit up and lay eyes on Seymour who was smiling at him. “What do you want I’ve already sent you a loud of brats this week, don’t tell me you need more.”

“Oh my no, I just wanted to look at the future labor force before you send them to me.”

“Yeah, yeah. Anything else?” Buffy asked, as he looked at Seymour.

“Yeah, I was kind of wondering something, you’ve only been sending me all the boys, I know you have girls in this orphanage what happens to them?” with that Buffy smiled slightly and leaned back in his chair again.

“I got my contact, they get shipped off around the world as servants to some higher up types like us, you know butter those guys up keep in good, never know when this racket might be shut down.”

“Oh I get ya, your selling the girls as servants like slave labor, and given me the boys to keep in good with are boss.”

“Yeah and don’t think your going to black mail me because if you try and talk I’ll tell the boss and he’ll come after you with everything he has, remember those two agents of his are both deadly to look at as well as to cross.” with that Seymour nodded a few times.

“Hey would you happen to have the number of my contact on the delivery of the mushrooms, I’m kind of having trouble getting in touch with them.” Buffy looked at Seymour funny and then smiled.

“Not a chance, you want that information you talk to the boss and tell him you’re an idiot who can’t keep a simple number straight.” with that Seymour smiled and looked Buffy in the eyes, only after a second Buffy found himself looking at the chief of police agent Witherspoon and the Ghost in his office. Shade was stumbling backwards for a second holding his head.

“Ghost are you alright?” the Chief asked, as he looked at Shade who shot a deadly glare at Buffy.

“No I’m not, their boss thought of everything. I can’t get the information we need for the rest of the drug ring.” with that the chief nodded and Witherspoon ran up and grabbed Buffy.

“You’re a bunch of fools, my boss is going to find out, and your all going to pay for getting in are way.” Buffy said, as he gloated and looked at Shade. “And Ghost, he’s got a message for you. Come and get me.” Buffy finished passing on the taunt as Witherspoon pulled him out of the office in hand cuffs. The chief looked at the door and then at Shade who was still holding his head.

“Blast, I thought we had this ring shut down finally.” the chief said, as he looked at Shade who was starting to walk around, trying to shake off what happened to him. “You sure you couldn’t get anything from him?” Shade only shot the chief a dirty look through blood shot eyes.

“Are you seriously asking me that question right now?”

“Sorry I was just hopping that you might have been able to get something, even something minor might of helped.”

“The only thing I got was a mental attack, and the only low life I know that has escaped in the past couple of months that would be able to do such a thing is Savitar.” with that the chief nodded and then walked up to Shade.

“Are you sure your going to be alright?”

“I don‘t have time to be injured, this night isn‘t over.” Shade said as he climbed into the window

“Your going after the shipping boat aren’t you?”

“That I am, but I’m going to need you to call harbor patrol and tell them to prevent any ship from leaving.”

“Alright.” with that the chief headed over to the phone and started to dial, but as he turned back around to wish Shade luck he found the room empty. “Good luck Ghost, those kids are counting on you.” an hour later at the docks a shipping boat loaded down with crates stood quite, as the captain and the crew watched the harbor patrol searching the boat.

“Well thank you for your time Captain, sorry for the trouble your clear to go.” the head of the harbor Patrol said, as he handed the captain his documents.

“Not at all sir, after all I run a clean and upright transport company here, I had nothing to hide.”

“Good to know sir, and good luck on your voyage.” with that the harbor patrol team got off the boat and the captain smiled as he waved good bye.

“ALRIGHT MEN WE’RE SHOVING OFF!” As the Captain yelled these orders his men ran around and the boat started to move out, but as the cliff opening came into view and the Captain smiled he started to notice the ship slowing down. “What are you doing helms men? Why are you slowing down.”

“I’m not sir, I have the engines to maximum and we’re still slowing down.” with that the Captain looked down at the controls and then picked up the phone to the engine room.

“What’s going on down there? Why are we slowing down?”

“Well Captain Stoneheart, we seem to be having trouble with the engines.”

“WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE!?!” The Captain yelled as he gripped the phone ready to reach through it and kill the person on the other end.

“Well sir it seems that some one has torn them apart, and taken out the engine crew members their all tied up and asleep right now.”

“WHAT!?”

“Yes sir, and if that wasn’t bad enough sir I think this ship is haunted.”

“WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DRINKING!?! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GHOST!?!”

“Well sir I guess I’ll just have to prove you wrong on that won’t I.” with that the connection was cuts and Captain Stoneheart blinked several times before he realized who he had just been talking to. He quickly ran over to the com system and called out across it.

“ALL HANDS HEAR THIS ALL HANDS HEAR THIS THE GHOST IS ON THE SHIP I REPEAT THE GHOST IS ON THE SHIP, YOU HAVE ORDERS SHOOT TO KILL, I REPEAT SHOOT TO KILL MEN!!” As Captain Stoneheart pulled out his revolver he started to head down into the bowls of his boat only to find what Shade had said to be true the engines had been torn apart Shade had cut all the electrical wires and covered them in oil even if they could replace the wires the Captain didn’t dare fire the engines in fear of setting the ship on fire, as he found the crew tied up and out cold he started to grind his teeth and turned to the men that had followed him. “I WANT HIS HEAD BY MORNING IS THAT CLEAR!!” As his men ran off to try and hunt down Shade they soon found this task much harder then they first thought, they knew the boat they knew everything about the boat and all the places that a person could hide. But as they got further and further apart they started to hear things, and slowly Captain Stoneheart found himself alone on the ship with the Ghost, his men laying ever where on the deck, in the halls, a few where tied up and hanging from the boats crane. With each sound in the shadows Stoneheart spun around and fired his guns. He was slowly being driven mad as it seemed the boat was getting more and more unfriendly.

“What’s the problem Captain?” Shade’s voice seem to come from ever where at once and the Captain pointed his gun in one direction as he started to look around in all direction. “You seem to be a little spooked.”

“SHOW YOUR SELF DEMON!!”

“Demon? I think you have me confused with someone else, I’m the Ghost.”

“WHERE ARE YOU!?”

“I am every where Captain.”

“IMPOSSIBLE.”

“Really, I don’t think so, I am but a visible representation of what the people of the this city wanted, to those that harm the innocent I am something unpleasant or horrific that has real no set material form. I am truly neither here or there, and just when you think you have me in your sights the truth of the matter is that I’m really right behind you.” Captain Stoneheart spun around but still found no one behind him. “I appear when you least expect it, and vanish just as fast.”

“YOU CAN’T BE REAL!”

“Can’t I? Tell me my good captain if I wasn’t real then how would I know about the space between the outside of the ship and your hull, holding 8 little girls that your transporting to an undisclosed location on your charts, so that they will be sold off somewhere else? It was their tears my dear captain, their
