Sam lies on the couch, reading the paper. "Page 5? It's on page 5? What's so big about..." he looks at the first page, "riots in Los Angeles that we get page 5? We were attacked by a statue of Ben Franklin, for God's sake! Isn't that headline news?" Their biggest writeup was in the food section, and that was mostly an article about the cheese. "Comes to you, my foot...." It was part of the poor quality of the media these days. They didn't know what was important. And the statue of Ben Franklin hurt, too. He still had bruises from when it hit him. Between that and the cheese in his hair, Sam knows he could sleep for a week.

The ringing of the phone means that he won't get his chance, though. Sam hears Wizard answer. It's a misleading name, because as far as Sam knows, the other man's not an actual wizard. There are only...he stops to think, 15 actual wizards in the Philadelphia metro area. But still, that's what the man goes by. The phone ringing probably means a case. Ugh. So much for sleeping for a week. Still, maybe they'll get an actual front page headline this time out of it.

"You know, if we don't do anything, the chemicals from that cereal will probably destroy the ghost itself. Have you ever seen some of the stuff they're putting out now? It's not just cornflakes anymore." He gets up from the couch. "But, yeah, Anna. You probably should reschedule the meeting. We've got to get some shopping done." He stretches and then goes to get suited up. It looks like it's going to be that kind of day.

Sam nods. "Thank you for reminding me of that, Wizard. I guess we'll just have to bust it."

"No, that's ok, Kevin. I'm more of a batter type of guy. You can go first.", Sam says, looking askance at Fred Lunt. Then, turning to him, he says. "Don't worry. We're Ghostbusters. Doing this type of thing is our job. You'll be back stocking shelves before you know it." With that, he draws the neutrino wand out of its clip on the proton pack, looks at Wizard and Tanner, and asks, "We ready to do this thing?"

Sam picks up the piece of paper and looks at it. That's a good deal on lard. A crazily good deal. He doesn't much need lard, but if he did, he'd buy it at Yum-Mee. His attention is drawn from the advertisement to the pattern of bananas. That's an unusual pattern. Perhaps a significant pattern?


Is the pattern of occult significance at all? Anything unusual about it?
