The agent waiting for Seth was in his late 20's, and had red hair, with a sharp business suit on.

"Hello there," said Seth, as he entered, "I'm Dr. Seth Eaton."

The two shook hands, and the man looked to see slime on his hand, and he said, "I'm Mr. Ryth Silver."

Seth looked at Ryth's head, and asked, "What's with the cat ears?"

"Oh, sorry," said Ryth, taking the ears off, "I just came from my nephew's costume party."

"Ah, family man," said Seth, "I respect that."

"Now, Dr. Eaton," said Ryth, "What exactly are you a doctor of?"

"Well," said Seth, "I'm a doctor of the paranormal, anything that seems out of the ordinary."

"And now you catch ghosts?" asked Ryth.

"Well, ghosts are fall under the paranormal category," said Seth.

"I.... see. And, how many ghosts have you caught?" asked Ryth.

"Well, it's hard to say exactly," said Seth, "Lost count after 23."

"And where do you store these ghosts?" asked Ryth.

"In a containment unit."

"And, can I assume that this containment unit is on these premises?"

"Yes, yes they are."

"May I see this containment unit?"

"No."

Ryth saw Seth smirking, and asked, "And why not?"

"Because," said Seth, "You did not say the magic word."

"And what is the magic word, Dr. Eaton?"

"Why, please, of course."

"Alright, may I please, see this containment unit?"

"Are you worried that it might do something?"

"I'm concerned that it might be dumping hazardous materials in the New York Area."

Seth got up, and said, "Come with me."

In the basement, Titan was showing Sean and George how the containment unit works, as Seth and Ryth came down.

"And here," said Titan, "Is where we store all the ghosts, slimers, vapors, entities, and just about anything else."

Titan opened up the door, and put the trap in, saying, "Insert trap here."

Some shuttering was heard, and a red light was seen above.

"Release," said Titan as he closed the hatch, "Lock the system."

"Then, you set your grid, neutralize your field," said Titan, pressing buttons. Soon, another shutter was heard, and the light turned green.

"Light is green, trap is clean."

"Hey guys," said Seth, "This is Ryth Silver. He's with the EPA."

"Why's he here?" asked Sean.

"Wanted to see what we do," said Seth.

"Hey guys," said Braedey, "I'm getting worried. It's getting crowded in there, and I'm worried that something might be on the horizon."

"And what exactly do you mean, sir?" asked Ryth.

"Well," said Braedey, picking up a chocolate cupcake, "Let's say this cupcake here represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in New York. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a cupcake about........ 350 Ibs and 600 feet long."

Titan then spit out his gum in surprise, as George said, "That's a big cupcake."

"That's insane!" said Titan, "We could be on the verge of a full fledge cross-rip! The P.K.E levels of that would be incredible, if not dangerous!!"

"How, dangerous, are we talking?" asked Ryth.

"Well," said Seth, "Basically...."

Seth hold up his hand in a fist, and said, "This is New York."

He then splays out his fingers, saying, "Ka-boom."

"We may need a new storage grid," said Braedey.

"Well Mr. Silver," said Seth, "As you can see, we have this all under control, and-"

Seth was cut off, as Ryth was hit form behind, and Slimer appeared.

"OH BOY!! FOOOOOOODDD!!!"

Slimer grabbed every snack on the desk, and flew up the stairs.

"Well," said Seth, "I can see you've met our friend Slimer."

Ryth then said, "Um, I think I've seen enough."

Ryth then left, as Seth said, "Well, looks like we took care of that."

Just then, the alarm went off, and everyone ran upstairs.

"Okay," said Jasmine, "Here's the address."

The men looked at the paper, and Seth said, "You've got to be kidding me."
