This is Crystal City, a city in the far northeast. Here, many characteristics live, from ghost hunters, to massive bounty hunters. But this is a story about a young boy named Kevin and his friends, Gerald and Samantha, who get themselves stuck in a "predicament" of ghosts.
The sun dawns on the lively city below as the birds fly around, looking for food. But one bird of an entire flock is electrocuted by a standing power line. The bird falls on the patio where Kevin, who is gardening his plants, stands. The bird falls on him and squeaks, having a worried look on its face. Kevin doesn't notice the bird, but he continues his task.
Suddenly, someone appears behind the ignorant Kevin. "Good morning!" a girl named Samantha screams. Samantha had black, puffy, long hair that slid down her back.
Kevin jumps and looks behind him, looking at the person who just jumpscared him. "Hi, Samantha…" He stuttered. Samantha looked at him, giving him a pat on the head. "Hey, you have to prepare yourself! Today's the day we sneak off to ENTITY!
"What does that place stand for again…?" Kevin asks, rubbing his head. Samantha groans. "You need to be more attentive!" she says to the sleepy Kevin. "ENTITY is the city of ghosts, although I don't have a clue what it stands for…"
A 12-year old boy, the same age as the two, catches up to Samantha and Kevin, looking at them upon his arrival. "Hey, Gerald!" Kevin says, with a grin on his face. Kevin and Gerald were best friends from the beginning. They had grown up together, and they had done everything. Gerald was a shy yet adventurous boy with curly brown hair.
Gerald looks at Kevin with an excited look on his face. "Today's the day we sneak off to ENTITY!" Kevin looks at him, unamused. "Buddy, it's only 7AM. We leave in 3 hours, don't get too excited!"
Gerald pulls a checklist out of his backpack, showing everything they needed for the trip.
"Ghost glasses and vacuum?"
."Water?"
"Camera?"
"Walkie Talkie?"
"That's a short list." Samantha says, looking over Gerald's shoulder. "That's all we need. You can bring anything else, if you want." Gerald responds. Before they could say anything else, a man, slightly younger than the trio, runs up to the three. As his legs produce clouds, he stops at the trio, staring. Gerald laughs. "Hi, Michael!" Michael, wearing round, small glasses, looks at the backpacks. "Can I come THIS time!?"
Samantha looks at him. "Sorry, Michael. You're still too young to come. We have to respect your family's rules!" Michael sighs. "Okay. But if you guys get in trouble… I'll save you!" Michael continues to run away, as fast as a comet.
Meanwhile deeper into the city…
Word had gotten around about the trio's journey to ENTITY. Jayden, the president of Crystal City, opened his newspaper, perplexed about what was going on today. He froze at the front page, which said… "THE TRIO IS HEADING OFF TO ENTITY, AFTER 5 YEARS OF INACTIVITY." Jayden freezes. "How could they be heading off to ENTITY?" He said. "I thought the government contained that place… It's really dangerous there, I hope they're safe…"
Lower in the city, the information didn't only spread to President Alley. It was all around the city now.
