They did it. They actually
managed to pull it off. I'm never going to live this one down.
The patrolmen warned
me after the last time. They told me that trying to nail the Ghostbusters
for anything was likely to send my career
straight into the toilet. Heck, half the force thinks those guys are
the greatest thing since the bulletproof vest. I just thought they were
nuts.
The other three aren't
that bad, I guess. Complete crazies, but they know what they're doing.
Zeddemore's even the type I might have
invited out for a few beers. He'd have gone far in the PD. Spengler
and Stantz are your typical eggheads, but they've proven you can count
on them
in a crunch. Venkman, though...
Can you blame me?
Everything about the guy says "con artist," the kind of guy I throw behind
bars every six months or so. Okay, so maybe an
attempted murder rap was stretching it a bit, but at the time, it seemed
logical enough. He's got a bad temper, after all, and he WAS ready to beat
that guy into a pulp.
I think I let this
one get a little personal, though. The mantis wasn't really their fault--
nobody could have known the balloon was full of
ghosts. And they did manage to clean up the mess. I get the feeling
that the Captain is gonna want a long talk with me when everything settles
out.
Look at him up on
top of that car, playing to the crowd like he hasn't got a care in the
world. He got the ghost, got the girl, and got the
city in the palm of his hand. That guy drives me insane.
And the worst thing
is, I think I'm beginning to like it.
