A Phantom of a Truth

Chapter One

"Ok, guys. Is it just me? Or has that kid been giving me the evil eye all day." Sam and Tucker both slowly turned their heads to the back of the room seeing a kid with emerald green eyes, red hair, freckles, tan khakis shorts, and a blue t- shirt. Sitting far behind him in Mr. Lancer's English class. As soon as the trio saw him he quickly looked down.

Tucker shrugged, pushing back his square framed glasses "I don't know man, did you do something earlier today or..." Danny ran his hands down his ink black hair nervously "Tucker, I swear to god. I never met that kid in my life! Or, err, half life..." Sam rolled her bright violet eyes "Does it matter? I mean, what does that one kid whom you never met mean to you?" That caused Danny to pause why did he care? "Your probably right, I'm just being paranoid-"

"Mr. Fenton, could you please reframe from talking until after class."

"Err, yes. Mr. Lancer"

"Good." And with that the class continued.

He wasn't going to lie. Wes did not know how to handle this. At first, he just noticed that Fenton and Phantom we never in the same place at the same time, then, he saw how similar they looked. From the hairstyle, the facial fetchers, the body language, everything basically.

Aside from hair and eye color. They might as well be carbon copies. And then he started thinking about the other stuff, like how their guidance councilor turned out to be a ghost, that a ghost came in to town and was able to shape shift into anybody. If those ghost could do it, why not the ever so famous Phantom?

But why?

Did Phantom want to learn the Fenton's ghost hunting secrets? To keep a closer eye on the portal? To have a inside view on human? Was he just... bored?!

Or was it something else? Is there a missing piece that he was missing? Something that he haven't even considered?

And where was the real Danny Fenton?

That made Wes sit up strait in his chair. Sure, he may not know the kid aside from his (admittedly slightly crazy) parents. But still. If he wasn't here, where was he? And what did Phantom had to do with it? Wes considered telling the GIW, or perhaps even the Fenton's but imminently discarded the thought. Because,

1.) He saw how willingly those two groups were to get their hands on a ghost to dissect them. And as much as Wes wanted Fenton home quickly and safely, he didn't think he could condoned someone (including Phantom) to such a fate.

2.)They never caught Phantom before.

3.)Who in their right of mind would believe him anyway?!

Wes let out a snort of annoyance and leaned back in his chair, if he couldn't go to the professionals, what could a scrawny, pasty looking, inexperienced kid like him... do exactly? On one hand, there isn't much he can do, on the other Danny (the real Danny) could be stuck in god knows where, dead, ether ways, been missing for months at the lest!

So what could he do?!

And then a plan began to for in his head. While Phantom was smart and resourceful, he wasn't particularly creative. The News proved that. And while the professional ghost hunters tried and constantly failed repeatedly to catch him, they never really tried any real and tangible tactics. Most of the time it was see and shoot on sight.

God he was surrounded by idiots.

Danny Fenton, wherever he is, Wes hoped. Could hold on for a bit...

This... might take a while.
