{Ghost Speak}

Last Time...

The boy had been tortured.

For who knows how long.

"Please be okay, Daniel."

Now...

The Healers were working furiously on Danny, going from the large gash in his side, the cut across his neck, to the shattered bone that stuck out in odd places in his leg.

There was about 20 healers in the mini hospital by the time Danny was finally in a stable condition.

Vlad could hear bits and pieces of their whispered conversation, but was ignoring them in favor of staring at the boy that still slept soundly on the bed.

'Who did this to you, little badger?'

{Vlad Masters?}

Vlad's attentions snapped up to the ghost Healer that spoke to him.

{Yes?}

The ghost looked scared to ask the emotional man a question, but she had lost a bet and had to do it.

{I'm sorry to ask you this, but it is procedure; did you do this to Mister Danny Phantom?}

Vlad's emotions flashed across his face like lightning; shock, anger, rage, fear, sadness, then a blank mask.

{No, I did not do this to him. He called me, saying that he was at a school and that he needed help... I got there as fast as I could... is he going to be alright?}

The ghost seemed shocked that Vlad hadn't exploded in her face, but ignored it just in case he changed him mind.

{He should be fine after a few days rest. All of his major wounds have been healed, but we could not heal the scars, as most of his wounds are days old. When he wakes, he will most likely be in shock, and you are to call us immediately when this happens. He may experience some... changes, in his appearance, voice, and eyesight as well, we aren't quite sure what some of those changes will be, but it shouldn't be anything too different. We will be back tomorrow to check on him, and if anything, and I mean anything, changes, then you will call us immediately. Yes?}

Vlad couldn't look the Ghost in the face, too ashamed at having done nothing to help them.

{Yes, I understand. Thank you.}

The 6 Healers that remained in the room looked to the broken man with sorrowful eyes. They healed the boy, yes, but Daniel was not, in any way, in good condition. They saw how worried Vlad Plasmius was when they began removing the boy's uniform, they too were beyond worried when they realized just who was injured.

They hoped, for everyone's sake, that Daniel "Danny" Phantom would be okay.

---Meanwhile---

"Where the hell did it go?!"

"I-I don't know! It was here just a second ago!"

The woman threw a bloody table across the room.

"Find. It. Bring it back here, now!"

"B-But, Maddie, how are we supposed to-?"

The woman, now named Maddie, glared at the man that was twice her size, but had about half the brain.

"I don't care how you do it, Jack! Find that Phantom and bring it back here before it recovers! We can't let such a discovery get into the wrong hands! A half ghost, Jack! Living in our own home and we didn't even know it!"
