After catching the ghost at the hotel, the Ghostbusters name made it on the evening news that night which was surprising to say the least. Pretty much after being featured on the news, all of London decided to call the Ghostbusters a lot. Edd, Matt, and Tom were lucky to hire Laurel to take the calls. All over London, the Ghostbusters were capturing ghosts left and right making them become the main headline. For two whole weeks, the trio were scrambling all over the place in many different hours of the day even at 2 o' clock in the morning. Despite being worked like dogs, the trio kept up to that promise of catching ghosts.

Eventually after awhile, they were interviewed by BBC News, which Matt almost ruined because he was finally on tv for the whole world to see. Although their popularity was up there, there was still some people that weren't all that accepting towards them. "Guys, the Ghostbusters are on tv again" said Jon. "Does it look like we care Jon? Go make yourself useful and go get me another can of diet cola" said Eduardo. "Okay" said Jon. Jon gets up and heads into the kitchen.

Upon entering, Jon goes into the fridge and takes out a carton of eggs before setting it down on the counter. Jon then looks into the fridge to see if he can find any cans of diet cola. Without even noticing, the egg carton on the counter suddenly opened up by itself. As Jon found a can of diet cola, he turned to see the eggs in the carton exploding by themselves before taking off screaming which got the attention of Mark. "Mark, what is it?" asked Eduardo. "I just looked up to see Jon running out of the kitchen and out the door. It looked like he was scared" said Mark. "Ah, he must of realized that we're out of things and decided to go to the store or else I would've yelled at him at it. That's actually a good sign that he knows this by now" said Eduardo.

[At The Ghostbusters Firehouse]

"So Laurel, is there any calls?" asked Matt. "I've checked and there's nothing. Why are you asking?" asked Laurel. "Because I want more people to recognize my good looks" said Matt. "Oh, why aren't you a cute thing? We'll get a call eventually" said Laurel. The doors to the firehouse suddenly opened as Jon came running in. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?" asked Matt.

"I...I...just...wow, this place looks cool. Forget what I just said! I was getting something in the kitchen until I turned to see eggs in a carton exploding right in front of me" said Jon. "Oh really? Looks like you have something goIng on" said Matt. "I came here to tell you that there's probably a ghost at Eduardo's place" said Jon. "Oh really? I thought you said that you didn't believe in ghosts?" asked Matt. "I did, but I now I do. Please you need to help me" said Jon. "I guess we can. Is Eduardo okay with us coming over?" asked Matt. "Yeah sure he is....kinda. Don't worry about him, I got it under control" said Jon. "Very well. Hey guys, we got another ghost to catch" said Matt. Edd then slides down from the fire pole while Tom comes up from the basement. "Ah yeah! It's on" said Edd.

[At Eduardo's Place]

"So this is the place where the ghost is at? Where's Eduardo and Mark?" asked Edd. "I'm not sure. They probably went to the hotel to prepare for the party that's being hosted at" said Jon. "You mean the same hotel, where we caught our first ghost at right?" asked Tom. "Yeah...and you actually caught a ghost there?" asked Jon. "Long story short, two people who worked there called us to capture it, so they wouldn't be fired. Anyway, since Eduardo and Mark aren't here, there won't be any distractions. Now then, care to show us the kitchen?" asked Tom. "Sure thing. Please, it's right this way" said Jon.

Jon leads Edd, Matt, and Tom into the kitchen where Tom then proceeds to scan the area as Matt and Edd checked the egg carton. "That egg carton right there, opened up by itself and one by one, the eggs exploded" said Jon. "Hmm...they are still letting off steam despite you not cooking them on a pan" said Matt. Edd was looking at the same two jars that were made out of stone. "Hey Jon, what's with the ancient looking jars?" asked Edd. "Oh those? I got one of them from a museum while the second one, I have no idea where it came from originally. I just randomly found it near an alleyway" said Jon.

"I see" said Edd. Edd then proceeds to scan them with his scanner that Tom gave him. It picked picked up some readings that looked off. "Uh guys, my scanner picked up something strange from these jars" said Edd. Tom comes over to Edd and looks at the scanner. "It must be a malfunction. Let me try mine" said Tom. Tom uses his scanner to scan the jars and nothing came up. "I was right. It was a malfunction. Once we get back the firehouse, I need to fix that scanner if yours" said Tom. "So, did you get anything?" asked Jon. "Yeah we did. There's nothing here despite having one thing happen. If the problem worsens, don't hesitate to call us" said Tom. "Oh...thank you" said Jon.

[Later That Night]

"Jon, the guy that Eduardo met is waiting for us at the hotel. We need to get those artifacts ready" said Mark. "Right! I'll do that" said Jon. Jon gets both of the jars together before remembering that he needs to get the reports on them. While walking down the hall where his room is at, he passes the door to Eduardo's room before suddenly stopping when he saw a bright light that was red and gold in coloration radiating from the door frame. Jon pauses for a moment before pushing it aside and goes into his room to get the reports. Soon afterwards Jon, Mark, and Eduardo all came together and went to the hotel.
