Synopsis for "Child of the Night"
This story is reprinted from Ghosts Giant #1.
A girl named Zoe runs away from three street punks, but doesn't understand what exactly did they do which they think she witnessed. As she hide behinds a wall, the punk kids search in another direction and she decides to hide in an old derelict manor nearby before they come back looking for her. Jim Craddock, the Gentleman Ghost who's also been hiding there notices her and guesses she's being pursued. He gets impressed by her lockpicking skills and decides to meet her. Zoe however doesn't feel afraid and seems quite humored, which delights him.
After learning from Zoe why she's hiding, he hears the street punks entering the grounds of the manor and assures her that she won't allow them to get their hands on her. As he goes out to confront them, he tells her to move back and view the unfolding events from a safe distance. One of the punks tells the other two that there's nowhere else Zoe can hide other than the mansion, but finds himself confronted by Craddock who tells them to leave. He however pulls out a gun and shoots at him, realizing he's an actual ghost which causes the punks to flee.
As he goes back to tell Zoe that the punks chasing her fled, he notices that she's not responding and notices her dead body. Chiding her for not seeking cover from the gunshots, he tells her ghost to just start blaming him already. Zoe tells him to stop making the thing about himself and feels devastated, leading him to apologize for his behavior. He confirms that she was killed and encourages her try to get used to her afterlife, as she would have ended up a ghost sooner or later. Zoe asks if she'll get any superpower but Craddock responds that they'll see about that once she's been tested.
