--Johnny Toast POV, hours later in town--

Sir disappeared a while ago, and I'm beginning to worry. What if he got hurt or something? What if he was hurting someone else... I inhaled through my teeth, he was acting weird before he left... He kept looking out the window at something that kept catching his attention... Oh crap what have I done?

I stood up and threw a hundred on the table at the diner we had been eating at and ran out, ignoring the weird looks I got by the surrounding tables. I think I saw Mabel and Dipper there? I don't know. I burst into town and looked for some clues on where sir would've gone to. There wasn't any screaming... yet. I had to hurry. I decided to check out the lesser populated buildings. Casket does enjoy hitting places with easier to hide bodies first...

I searched for about ten minutes strait, sometimes asking for sir and other times ghosts that trigger Casket. I never asked for Casket because they wouldn't be alive with all their limbs if they had met him and also because I felt like I was being followed sense I left. It took me a bit longer before I found someone who had seen Ghost. Ghost not Casket. I almost sighed in relief. Maybe he was exploring? He does get curious easily. I left the teen before he had finished talking and went down the alley the guy had pointed at. It was a dead end. There were a lot of smashed boxes. Crap. I leaned over to check them out for the main clues.

One triangle and two circles on a single box? Check

Looks like a frowning face? Check

Paranormal readings? No... What? I refreshed it. There were paranormal readings all over the city, it was hard to pinpoint where they started and where they ended. I decided to check off that one. I double checked the boxes for anything else. There was a deep black goop inside most the boxes, and I decided to do the final part of my search. Any rips on the boxes? No.

Gregory's out. He's a rare childish version of Ghost who only comes out via Box Thing... It's always a flip of a coin, him or Jimmy. Looks like Greg got lucky. His issue? He's less, if not, exactly as insane as Casket and does everything Box Thing says. Trouble there? Box Thing loves murder, and he was the one who drove Gregory insane, so it's like having a murder puppet who will bend over backwards for you. I quickly turned around to continue my search when I saw what I failed to notice was following me during my search. In front of me stood Dipper and Mabel, this time accompanied by Mr. Ford, who I barely got to talk with. The kids had weapons, and Ford had a metal box with what looked like an antenna sticking out of it. I rose my hands to surrender. Why do they always get the upper hand?

"Johnny?" Mabel looked confused, Dipper however looked like a big secret had been revealed.

"What're you doing? Where's Ghost?" He shouted out to me.

"I don't know. I was looking for him. He went missing about twenty minutes ago..."

"What's with the boxes?" It looks like the metal box was a paranormal tracker like what Ghost and I have... I had been standing in front of the boxes so no one could see the continuous stream of black gunk. Mabel tried looking behind me instantly, and I sidestepped to cover it up.

"It's... Uh... I threw up. A lot. In crushed boxes. Long day, ate a lot of black licorice... Yeah nothing to see here." I covered quickly. Mabel began to giggle and Dipper and Ford went to investigate. They left Mabel to watch me. "Hullo, ma'am."

"Hi, Johnny." She batted her eyelashes... At least I think she did? Should could've just got something stuck in her eye... "How're you doing?"

"Good... I gotta go actually. May I?" I replied quickly.

"Nope! Sorry, I'm supposed to watch you and I'm gonna watch you."

"Oh..." I looked at her, already feeling guilt on what I was about to do. "Sorry Miss..." I pinned her down, gagged her, and tied her up so fast, she didn't have time to counter it. She looked at me, betrayed. I flinched and looked away from her big eyes quickly. "Again, sorry. I have a friend to find." I patted her head and ran off opposite direction from which I had come, and noticed some sticky black footprints, "Gregory... What the crap are you doing?" I heard some childish laughter nearby and I dashed after it instantly, turning into an alley and running into Box Thing. Quite literally. I ran right into it. It noticed and made my mouth clamp shut and my body freeze. Gosh darned ghost powers.
