HAPPY GHOSTBUSTERS DAY!!! FORTY-TWO YEARS SINCE THESE IDIOTS WERE LET LOOSE ON THE WORLD

SO FRANTIC WERE HIS MOVEMENTS, HE ALMOST INPUTTED HER NUMBER INCORRECTLY. Such carelessness wasn't typical of him - but circumstances were unfolding quickly, and there was now the potential for very personal implications.

THE DIAL TONE RANG - AND RANG. Hunched over his desk, the fingers of his free hand briefly tapped impatiently against his desk. Come on...

AND THEN, SHE ANSWERED. At the confirmation that she was, in fact, home, his stomach swooped with something unpleasant.

❝ Mary-Jane? It's Egon. No time to explain. I need you to evacuate your apartment complex immediately. ❞

IF THE PANIC-STRICKEN RAMBLINGS OF THEIR MOST RECENT CALLER WERE ANYTHING TO GO BY, THE DEAD HAD RISEN - AND HAD OPTED TO CHOOSE THEIR SPECIFIC STREET TO INHABIT. He'd been relayed the details with an air of scepticism - was there such a thing as a zombie homemaker? Did they not just aimlessly wander? On his own part, he always liked to maintain an open mind; if nothing else, more avenues of research were available to him that way.

HIS ARRIVAL, AND SUBSEQUENT SCOUTING OF THE VICINITY IN QUESTION HAD YIELDED NO DATA. So, he'd opted to, rather reluctantly, knock on residents' doors. One of them had pointed to a particular house. Allegedly, the owner was quite a character. A detail he did little more than shrug off. He'd always found that oddity was often in the eye of the beholder.

STILL, A LEAD WAS A LEAD. Thus, he crossed the street, reaching the front door and giving it a brief but firm knock. His expectations were, as always, amenable.

ANOTHER EVENING CONFINED TO HIS DESK. Not that he ever explicitly complained about it (somehow, the adjective slash noun workaholic tended not to quite explain his devotion well enough), but, had the choice been presented, he'd have much rather been in the lab, engaging with more practical elements.

❝ I know - but most of them are rooted in truth, Dr. Brown. ❞

AS THE OTHER MAN WOULD NO DOUBT COME TO REALISE, HIS NEW ACQUAINTANCE WAS ONE OF FEW WORDS. Elaborate conversation had never been his forte - not unless science was concerned, at least. Still, it had already become apparent that he was now in like-minded company. Perhaps his tongue would end up loosening a little more yet.

HIS RESPONSE HAD, AS ALWAYS, BEEN CAREFULLY FORMULATED. After all, to blindly vouch for every single publication would be an oversimplification, never mind inaccurate. He was a man of consistency, and that included his sheer distrust of journalists. They were their own form of con artists; vultures with a knack for interpreting something from nothing.
