#concealed weapon

Jazz never considered the thought of owning a gun. She was quite scared of them at first. The ecto-gun her parents designed felt more like holding a toy because of how light they were. Guns have a certain weight to them, especially when loaded. 

Vlad was so willing to let Jazz ‘borrow’ a gun from his personal collection. He even took her out target practicing for ‘bonding’. Jazz didn’t bother correcting Vlad about his assumptions, she needed to get as much out of Vlad as she could. As a additional gift for their ‘personal secret’, Vlad gave Jazz an ankle gun holster so that she would always have the gun on her if she ever went somewhere she didn’t feel safe.

Even though they were the same aqua blue, some people noticed Jazz begin to wear boot-cut pants on the regular instead of her ankle-cut pairs. She used the excuse that she grew bored of her old pant style, and the change was quickly accepted as the new normal for her.

Beyond that change, Jazz’s life continued as if the visit to Vlad’s never happened. She continued to help her brother ghost hunt, her ecto-gun always ready in hand as she continued to perfect her aim. Jazz never brought up she ever visited Vlad, and the man surprisingly did the same. Perhaps he knew what she intended to do with it if the time came. Perhaps he just assumed she would only take down Jack. Maybe that’s why he didn’t offer to give her rubber bullets instead? Jazz would have denied them if Vlad offered.

Vlad was a damn fool if he really believed Maddie was any different from Jack. Jack may be more verbal about his intent, but the excited gleam in her eyes showed she also held the same desire. Maddie was also the bigger threat despite Jack’s bigger built, so she would be the first to be taken out to ensure Danny’s safety.

Danny truly believed their parents would accept him if he revealed himself, but he never could answer why he didn’t come out to them now if that were the case. Jazz would always smile and give Danny a hug to reassure him that he could take his time. That when he does gather the courage, she wants to be there with him as support. The gun holster felt itchy against her skin whenever this topic came up.

As long as Danny was right, the gun would never see the light of day again. It’s not like Jazz wanted to get rid of their parents despite how flawed they were. However, if things were to ever go wrong, Jazz would be prepared.
