The True Power Of Love

Chapter 1

I know the Manhattan ghost stories." Trevor said as Phoebe shook her head those weren't just stories they were  events the actually happened our
Uncle was Egon Spengler. He was a Ghostbuster."Phoebe said as Podcast accidentally kicked a leaver. The car door opened and Phoebe's chair moved out of the door spinning her around so she was facing the muncher. It has a gunner's seat? Podcast said

Trap him Phoebe shouted as Podcast controlled the trap eventually the muncher Ghost was pulled into the original Ghostbusters trap.

Hey do we get a phone call?" Trevor asked "Who you gonna call? Sheriff Domingo said

Ray's Occult, and we're closed Ray Stantz answered the phone. Wait! I only get one phone call. I'm... in prison Phoebe said. The slammer, huh? Heh, been there myself. I'm no lawyer, but I'm listening. Ray said
Are you Ray Stanz, the Ghostbuster? Phoebe asked. And now, I'm hanging up Ray said which was followed by the voice of Phoebe hang on, please! I'm calling about Egon Spengler.
Ray paused Egon Spengler can rot in Hell he spoke.
He died last week Phoebe said fighting back her uncontrollable tears.
Oh, man... No kidding Ray spoke softly
Weren't you two friends? That was a long time ago.
What happened to you guys? Phoebe asked. Well, when we started, busting ghosts was a gas. The economy was good. Reagan years. People believed in us, then things got slow. Hauntings got thin. Venkman thought we did our job too well. Oh, we could barely keep up our mortgage. Some actor bought up most of Tribeca, and we lost the firehouse. It's a Starbucks now Ray spoke which was followed by the quiet voice of Phoebe So, then you all just walked away? Peter went back to academia. He's in SUNY Cortland now, he's a Professor Emeritus, he teaches advertising and promotion. Winston went into finance, he worked hard, coined a fortune. And I'm... here Ray spoke. Well... what about Egon?Phoebe asked

Well, he wasn't helping. We went from ten calls a week, to one, if we were lucky. Then Egon started to tell people their little ghost problems didn't matter because the world was coming to an end. He got spooky, freaked me out! One morning, I go to work, and Ecto-1, our old cadillac, is gone. His neutronophone and collider pack, all the traps! Sixteen ounces of fuel isotope! All gone! He cleaned us out! Now we were the dead ones Ray Stantz replied

Don't you think he might've had a reason? Phoebe asked.

Ray Stantz responded He phoned me about ten years later, some small town in Oklahoma. He kept rambling on about "the rising storm" and "the huge psychic tornado" that was gonna "consume humanity in darkness forever." And, kid, I wanted to believe him Ray Stantz said

You don't understand. There is this mountain and it has these ancient carvings...Phoebe started but Ray Stantz cut her off with Kid, kid, kid, there are a lot of mountains up there with ancient carvings. Take a little advice. Don't go chasing ghosts.

Egon Spengler was my uncle Phoebe said.

Time's up Sheriff Domingo spoke before he hung up the phone.

Hello? Ray asked but there was no response

Let's go. You were supposed to look after her this summer. I was? Mr. Grooberson asked Not you. Him. Callie said pointing to her son This was her idea Trevor said causing Phoebe to shoot him a glare.

But what about our stuff? The Ecto-1?Phoebe asked Everything will remain nice and safe in our impound locker Sheriff Domingo answered
No! We need it Phoebe answered

Phoebe, let's go her mother said angrily. We caught a ghost tonight Phoebe spoke ignoring her mother completely

Dirt farmer's family
Deputy Medjuck said as Phoebe spoke It's true. And there will be more.

Hey, kid you're starting to sound like your lunatic uncle Sheriff Domingo spoke.

Phoebe grabbed the Plasma Blaster and pointed it at both Sheriff Domingo and Deputy Medjuck.

Don't you think your father came out here for a reason? Phoebe asked inside the kitchen.

No. No. I think he was a sad old man who turned his back on his family, his partners. And for what? For a stupid farm in a town nobody cares about. Where, by the way, everybody thought he was nuts. Yeah, great decision, Dad.

He was special. He loved science, like me. Why didn't you tell me my uncle was Egon Spengler? Phoebe spoke angrily

Hey, I'm glad you found yourself here. I really am. But all I see are reminders that I didn't mean a thing to him. He never cared about me. He never cared about you.

He's not nuts Phoebe said angrily

Well, then he's an asshole. Welcome to the family Phoebe's mother said Phoebe just shook her head. Your lying she yelled before storming out of the room stomping up the stairs slamming the door to her room.
