How could he tell Daniel the truth after he had just been so sincere. The man knew the boy meant well, but he couldn't risk telling the boy right now. After all it could wait until morning right?

Chapter 18: Interrogation and Lies

Danny didn't seem to be getting g an answer to his question so he simply opted to answer vald a first.

"I'm....okay?" Danny said skeptically.

"You sound hesitant..did something happen?" Vald asked concerned.

"No, nothing happened, well other than a ghost attack that sent everybody home for the day.... Sam and tucker. Regardless you seem worried, what's wrong?" Danny replied.

"I know you don't want to hear this right now.." Vlad tried to reason.

"No, dad tell me." Danny said firmly.

Vlad sighed "some people want to talk to you about your former friends."

"Oh is that all it is? Jeez you had me worried." Danny laughter lightly.

"Wha- Daniel! Are you not worried!" Vlad asked incredulously.

Danny knew they were being watched so he had to phrase this carefully.

"Why would I be worried? They only want to talk, I may not have been the fondest of them, but I'm certainly not a killer." Danny said smoothly.

Thats when Vlad caught on.

"Right of course. Well, how does dinner sound?" Vald asked standing up.

"Sounds great!" Danny said.

Once the pair had left, Danny went intangible, careful to stay hidden from the camera in case it had infrared. Once he was close enough, he used an ecto blast and watched the frail machine fall to bits. He then quickly located the microphone and just as quickly smashed that too.

"Don't think I'm that stupid. I know when we're being watch..." he whispered reappearing again.

Danny did a quick sweep of the house, destroying any other measures as surveillance he found. The teen knew what was and wasn't part of Vlad's personal ecto surveillance systems. Once he was sure there were no more measures of surveillance left, so he left for dinner with his father.

"How are you so relaxed?" Vlad asked with a sigh.

"Because I'm good at lying. Besides, there is no evidence or anything to connect me to their deaths. There are no finger prints, no foot traffic, no witnesses....." Danny mused.

"They won't leave this as a cold case Daniel." Vlad Warned.

"They won't have to. Skulker and I have already arranged a deal. He will take credit for this 'hunt' as he called it, and I will owe him a favor or two in the future." Danny said waving his hand dismissively.

"I never thought I'd see the day I could be proud of you for malicious ghost activity." Vlad spoke with a slight laugh.

"Neither did I..." Danny smiled.
