Summoning the Ghost King (Old Version)

Chapter 13

(Edit: 6/2/2021)

After the call, Danny decides to head to Eli's neighbor's apartment to rest. But then, when Danny phases into the wall, invisible, he sees a middle-aged man wearing a grey suit walking around the bedroom, seeing his bedsheets mess up.

"Uh oh, this must be Eli's neighbor," Danny thought.

The neighbor groans in frustration. "Alright, someone has been in my apartment, first my kitchen, then the living room, and now my bed. How the hell did someone get inside of my apartment? I'm calling the cops,"

The neighbor reached down to his pocket and pulled out his phone. Danny goes back to Eli's apartment; as he and Riley read comics together in the living room, Danny turns visible.

"Danny, I thought you were going to rest?" said Eli

"Yeah, your neighbor is back, Eli, and he notices that someone has been in his home. So I need a new place to rest," said Danny

"Um, you could try to stay at an apartment that's not being use,"

"Then there going to be a pattern of someone breaking into people apartment, so no,"

"How about you stay with me?" said Riley

"Really?" said Eli

"I mean, my home is just not that far from Eli's apartment, and besides, my mom is busy with work. I'm usually by myself, and she wouldn't notice someone else living there,"

"And where do I sleep?" said Danny

"You can sleep in the attic. It's pretty spaces, and you couldn't hear a thing up there,"

"I don't mind sleeping in an attic,"

"So Eli, you don't mind Danny staying over at my place?"

"Sure, I guess better than sleeping in the street," said Eli

"Great, when my mom picks me up in the next hour, you can just follow us, Danny,"

"Sounds like a plan,"

An hour later, Riley gets out of Eli's apartment building with Danny invisible and floating a few feet above her. Then a white sedan parked at the street curb next to Riley. She gets in the car backseat. Inside the car is a woman in her mid-30s, she has long brown hair and green eyes. She wore black square glasses, white lab clothes, and black shoes.

"Hey, mom," said Riley

"Hello, Riley, how is Eli?" said Riley mom

"He's fine, mom,"

"I heard there was a large fight near Eli's apartment. I hope you didn't go near it,"

"No, I didn't, mom,"

"Good, now I still have some paperwork at work, so I'm going to drop you off at home and make sure to lock the doors and turn on the lights when it gets dark,"

"Okay, mom,"

"And you can order pizza for dinner the money on the kitchen counter,"

"Alright, mom,"

Riley's mom starts the drive home, and Danny follows Riley's mom's car from the air. About a 30-minute drive, Riley's mom drops Riley off at her home, a two-story house. Riley walked into the house, and a few seconds later, Danny phased into the house. He made himself visible and came up to Riley.

"Welcome to mi casa," said Riley

"Where did your mom go?" said Danny

"She went back to work. She works for S.T.A.R. Labs,"
