				The Fire Station looked old and decrepit. It had been left unusued for two decades now. No one had wanted to touch it since the previous occupiers had left all that time ago.<br><br>At the flick of the switch the lights resisted but finally the large room was awash with a bright light. He felt hsi heart race and was glad he did not cry out like a girl.<br><br>Dr Venkman walked in slowly and looked around. A soft whistle escaped his lips as he looked at the years of dust and crap that had built up.&nbsp; "Jesssus. We are going to need to get a cleaner."<br><br>He was not fazed though. At the age of 29 Dr Richard Venkman was eager to continue the family business. He had been amazed when he found that no one had picked up the lease since his father had discontinued it all those years ago. it was exactly how they had left it.<br><br>In the office an old picture had been left on a desk.<br><br>Egon, Raymond, Winston and Venkman Snr. They would be furious if they knew what he was planning. They had stopped the Ghostbusters after Raymond had left and they rarely discussed it now.<br><br>Richard Venkman wanted nothing more than to renew the Ghostbusters. Well..... This was a start. He had some funding. He had the Fire Station.&nbsp; It was time to visit some old friend......<br><br>He looked down at the picture again...... The faces had gone....<br>

				Richard felt good. The place was looking alright and he had started to get in the equipment and start spreading the name of the new Ghostbusters. <br><br>Varla would be arriving soon and he hoped that she would be impressed. The children had not remained as close as their parents had hoped. Richard knew Varla but from a professional angle than anything else. The other two he had never met. His father had lost contact with Winston and Ray had a son called Alex who he had never met. <br><br>"Hey there Paula. Thanks for covering the phones. Hey... You look good today. Have you done your hair? No. Is it a new dress then? My god you lost a bit of weight? No. Well. How about you join me for lunch? We would have a drink, eat some oysters and then come back here and make mad passionate love over Varlas desk?" <br><br>"No thanks Richard. I got to get back to my boys." Paula said patiently chewing her gum and waiting with her long manicured fingers outstretched for her cash. <br><br>The rest of the afternoon trailed on with Richard up a ladder finishing some painting when he heard the bell from the office. <br><br>"Hello. Who's there?"

				"Spengler,&nbsp; Varla," she spoke plainly, as if filling out a survey.&nbsp; Rattling on as she normally did, Varla went straight to appropriating what she presumed to be her desk.&nbsp; "I heard that someone was willing to put funding into the Ghostbusters again and I decided I'd take advantage of the situation by offering my considerable services in the areas of natural and supernatural sciences.&nbsp; I'm sure you will find that turning me down will result in the summary failure of the operation here due to a distinct lack of expertise in the aforementioned subjects as well as the development, usage, and management of the proprietary equipment necessary for providing the services for which the institution was created and subsequently renowned."<br><br>Varla looked up when Richard came into view.&nbsp; She hadn't seen him in years.&nbsp; He looked good.<br><br>Adjusting her glasses, she attempted a smile.&nbsp; "Hello, Richard."

				Richard looked down at the Varla and quickly a smile crossed his face. His eyes rolled melodramatically as she spoke but he managed to make the way down the ladder with a brush in one hand and paint in the other. <br><br>"Its good to see you Varla." He said embacing her quickly while trying not to get paint on her from the brush and the paint tub. Handing her a brush and the paint he said. "We have a few sets of overalls free. We need to open very soon!" <br><br>He was a little confused. He was sure his email had invited Varla to join but either way she was here and wanted to be part of it. <br><br>"I am hoping that your studies have browsed over the nuclear accelerators or well the Proton Packs. I dont know anyone else that could replicate your fathers device. Ah Hell. Its going to be great to have you in on this Varla!"

				"Of course.&nbsp; I've been waiting for this opportunity for years," Varla said plainly, not entirely certain how to react to Richard's embrace.&nbsp; "Of course, after the government figured out what it was that dad had built, they wrote up all sorts of regulations and exceptions that would make replicating or employing his technology about thirty-eight different kinds of illegal.<br><br>"Luckily, I found loopholes," she grinned a bit and laid one of her rather massive suitcases out on her desk.&nbsp; "It took a little bit of work, but I finally managed to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.&nbsp; I had to almost completely re-imagine the architecture while still maintaining the original design's functionality.&nbsp; It works the same as the old one, but this is a completely different animal, Richard," She was almost glowing as she began opening the case.&nbsp; "My model is superior to my father's in every way!&nbsp; Those bureaucratic fat-cats in the Pentagon will take years before they can figure out how to shut me down, and by then I'll have overhauled the technology a second time!"&nbsp; She sounded like an evil super-genius as she opened the final latch and threw open the suitcase, revealing her prototype of the brand new Proton Pack!<br><br>... that looked exactly like the old one.<br><br>"So?&nbsp; What do you think?"

				Meanwhile. outside, a young woman in jeans and a sweatshirt looked up at the flickering sign above the fire station. It brought a lump to her throat; her father had often spoken of his times with the Ghostbusters, but she never thought to see that famous logo lit up again. Even if the tube did need replacing.<br><br>In a strange way, although she'd never been here, it felt like home. She could feel her father's presence about the place.<br><br>Taking a deep breath, she walked forward and knocked on the open door.<br><br>"Is anyone there?"<br><br>With her blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, Alex looked more like a freshman than a recent graduate.<br>

				Richard looked at the prototype with interest but as he studied it he did see a lot of similarities but then he would not claim to be technical in any way. <br><br>With raised eye brows and the odd murmering of interest he hoped he managed to portray an image of keen understanding and interest rather than just bafflement. <br><br>Just as he was about to speak her heard a voice out in reception. <br><br>"Sorry Varla. I will be right back. Make yourself comfortable. " He made his way through to the reception and placed a hand on the door frame. He clocked the pretty young lady immediately and put on his most charming of charming smiles. <br><br>"Well Good Afternoon. I was just about to say that we are not open yet but I think I would be happy to change all that just for you. I am Richard. Pleased to meet you."

				"Welcome Alex. Oh you do?" He called back through to Varla. "You hear that? They heard we are starting up and they all come running. Its the Venkman name thats what it is." He turned back to Alex and moved forward to guide her to a chair. <br><br>"Well why dont we do an interview right now? Please take a seat while i take your particulars." He said grabbing a notepad and pen. <br><br>"Right. Name Alex.... Bra size?" He said looking up with mischief in his eyes. "I need to know so I can order the suit."

				In her mind, Alex rolled her eyes. He was <em>so</em> like his father. Outwardly, she played it deadpan.<br><br>"Alex Stantz. 34B."<br><br>She wondered how long it would take him to recognize the surname.<br><br>Her curiosity was also aroused, she admitted, by whoever Richard was talking to. Or, indeed, if he was talking to anyone; she was starting to suspect he'd pretend to talk to someone just as a joke, and pretend it was a resident ghost!

				When Richard called back to her and she heard someone mention joining the Ghostbusters, Varla poked her head around the corner to see.&nbsp; After taking a quick glance from a distance, she went back to one of her suitcases and retrieved another of her "improved" devices and quietly strolled out to the lobby where the others stood chatting.&nbsp; Without introducing herself at all, Varla began waving her PKE meter over Alex, slightly disappointed that it detected nothing.<br><br>"Have you been in contact with any apparitions, vapors or similar semi-corporeal manifestations in the last twenty-four to forty-eight hours?" she asked without a hint of emotion or even a glance upward.

				"Very nice!!!!" Richard said leaning back in his chair and letting his feet swing up onto the table knocking yesterdays mug of coffee an inch or two and splashing over some impressive looking but rather cheap stationary.&nbsp; The grin slipped from his face and fortunately he was saved by Varla....<br><br>"Have you been in contact with any apparitions, vapors or similar semi-corporeal manifestations in the last twenty-four to forty-eight hours?"<br><br>But then it hit him.... <br><br>"Alex Stantz? The Alex Stantz??!? Woohooo. We are all here! Well I certainly was not expecting the next generation of the Ghostbusters to be female but hell. I am up for that. Welcome to the team Alex. I presume your qualified? Your father was quite the expert on the paranormal. Which is kinda what we need. I get the business. She does the science and you know what the hell your talking about!

				So there was someone back there after all. Alex watched the woman wave a PKE meter over her, and recognized the symptoms.<br><br>"You must be Uncle Egon's daughter."<br><br>She shook her head.<br><br>"No. Not that I'm aware of."<br><br>Not a flicker of surprise at the question.<br><br>Then Richard spoke again, and she smiled.<br><br>"Assuming you mean Ray's daughter, yes. I've picked up a lot from my father, but my degree was in Biology."<br><br>Alex didn't add that it was Marine Biology. There probably weren't many underwater ghosts in New York City.<br>

				"Well this is nice isnt." Richard said swinging in his chair. <br><br>"Well welcome aboard Alex. I hope your handy with some paint. I suppose I better leave you two to sort this place out while i go and strum up some business?" He said with a grin. <br><br>"Ill bring back some Coffees on the way back!" And with a swing of his legs off the table he stood up and started to get out of the overalls.

				He turned to Varla. <br><br>"What about you Varla? I am thinking your more of an Expresso girl?" He said stripping from the painting clothes. <br><br>"I am afraid my first meeting is with a freak group that have a lot of contact with the old buildings in the city. Most of what they discuss is rubbish but I get the feeling that every so often they hit something. Want to come Alex?"

				"I don't feel that the triple concentration of caffeine constitutes a suitable enough difference in coffee beverages to justify a preference in taste," Varla said as she opened a smaller suitcase and retrieved an empty messenger back which she then filled with various notebooks and more than a few pieces of her strange prototype equipment.&nbsp; "Nevertheless, I could use the psychoactive stimulant as I've foregone sleep the last three days in favor of completing my new PKE meter."<br><br>Without having been asked to join Richard as Alex was, Varla was soon prepared to depart for the meeting.&nbsp; "I do hope I'll have a chance to test this soon.&nbsp; Never having encountered any post-organic entities myself, I had to guess most of the calibration settings."

				A young woman in a cheerily tie-dyed dress stepped hesitantly in through the large front doors of the old station, looking around. She jingled slightly as she moved due to the large amount of jewelry festooning her hair, neck and wrists, most with occult symbols or pieces of crystal inset.<br>"Er... hello?" she called as she crossed to the reception desk. "Er...hi. I'm, er, Summer? I phoned earlier... about the receptionist position?"<br><br>She looked from person to person, finally settling on Richard.<br>"Um, you must be Mr. Venkman? We spoke on the..."<br>Stopping suddenly, she looked upwards, spreading her hands as if she were checking for rain.<br>"Oh... oh my... this building has <em>amazing</em> energy! Can't you feel it?!"

				Richard could not help but raze his eyebrows but fortunately kept his mouth shut. <br><br>He looked around and realised that the potential of crazies coming in for interviews was really quite high and not only that the painting needed to be done and Varla and Alex obviously had no intention of doing it. <br><br>"Ok. Well How about you two go onto the appointment?" He said to Varla and Alex. "It does not need all three of us. Your the expert on ghosts." He said to Alex... not realising his mistake. "And your the expert on what we can achieve." He said to Varla. <br><br>"I will continue with the last touches and interview this fine lovely lady and the others that messaged they might turn up today." <br><br>He began to put on the overalls once again. <br><br>"You two happy with that?"

More like Spring.<br><br>"Hi, I'm Alex."<br><br>Then Richard suggested they went along to the appointment.<br><br>"But..."<br><br>It was clear from Richard's comments that he assumed her father's knowledge of ghosts had rubbed off on her. It was true she'd picked up a bit - nobody could grow up in the same house as Ray and not learn something about ghosts - and her curiosity about them was what had led her here, but she was far from an expert.<br><br>Still, how much trouble could a group who discussed ghosts be?<br>

				"Um... a slimer?"<br>Her moment of confusion cleared as she followed Richard further into the building.<br>"Oh, this is wonderful! Not all clinical and stuffy like the last place I applied. Can you imagine, they said my filing system was <em>too colourful!</em> How silly is that?"<br>Chattering happily, she trailed after him as she peered around.

				Richard took to Summer immediately and quickly showed her the filing system and the computers and then finally all the boxes that had yet to be unpacked. <br><br>"Now this might be your dream job but basically we have a whoooooleeee pile of stuff that needs to be organised and you are probably the perfect person to do it."

				Summer looked happily about at the piles of boxes, dusty and stacked with the original team's eccentric approach to organisation.<br>"Pink, yes, and then with coloured stickers for the date maybe! I have some right here!" She rummaged in the large bag slung over her shoulder and brought out a fistful of stickers in a range of eyewatering colours. Taking the papers from him, she then paused as she looked at him.<br>"So, um... does this mean I get the job?"
