Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat-Sensitive Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector It worked well Too well Malcolm cringed He still had nightmares about the major wedgie that prankster ghost Herbert McBleaky had given him After that experience Malcolm had decided that it was no use detecting a ghost if you couldn’t get rid of it So Malcolm had ordered an Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Ghost Zapper And he intended to use it Dandy looked at his fingers then burrowed into his other ear You never told me the plan Are we going after Herbert McBleaky Naw I think we should detect a tamer ghost first and use the zapper on him But where are we going to find a tamer ghost
There are ghosts everywhere Malcolm told him We’ll just go on a ghost hunt Dandy’s face brightened Yeah Like a treasure hunt Then he paused Except we’d find something scary instead of something fun No one said ghost detecting would be fun Malcolm said It’s certainly not for the weak of heart Although as Malcolm said it he wasn’t so sure he was really all that brave Dandy gave him a blank stare It was the same look he gave his mom when she’d ask if he’d cleaned his room If it isn’t fun then why are we even doing it Didn’t Dandy understand anything For the greater good Malcolm replied We’ll rid the world of all the stray ghosts I mean think about it They’re just hanging out making houses uninhabitable
Dandy gave him that blank look again Uninhabitable means no one can live there Malcolm informed him Oh Dandy said still drilling into his ear
Malcolm squinted his eyes looking down the street for Mail Carrier Nancy He began to wonder if she really did have an emergency Or maybe she called in sick and her replacement used a different route He tapped his foot some more He was close to jumping up and running down the street to look for her Just when he thought he might actually fly out of his own skin he saw her turn the corner She was pulling her mail cart and zigzagging from house to house Dandy took his finger out of his ear smelled it then wiped it on his Iron Man T-shirt Malcolm and Dandy both stood as Mail Carrier Nancy approached a smile beaming from her face I have a package for you she told Malcolm
