The next day at TUFF HQ, Keswick entered the building.

"Morning, Agent Nutz." He greeted his fellow TUFF agent.

"Stop ruining my life!" Nutz pointed his ray gun at him, zapped him and left angrily.

"Someone woke up in the wrong side of the tree." Keswick states and brushed the soot out of his hair.

"I don't know Keswick." Dudley appeared behind him, "You can't blame someone for being grumpy and jealous just because they did not went out with the hottest new girl in town and their friends did!"

Suddenly, the alarm began to beep.

"Agents, I have Intel that Bird Brain is robbing the laser pointer factory." The Chief announces.

"No!" Agent Puppy screams, "He's destroying the very foundation of pet happiness!"

"Agent Puppy and Katswell, you have to stop Bird Brain or no one in Petropolis will ever experience light emitting happiness ever again." The Chief said to Dudley and Kitty.

Both agents were sucked into a tube, landed in the TUFF Mobile and left to pursuit Birdbrain.


"Freeze, Bird Brain!" Kitty commanded at the evil Blue-bottomed Booby as she and Dudley pointed their ray guns at him.

Bird Brain pointed his own ray gun at them. He pressed the trigger and light was pointing to the ground near Dudley who chased the light as it moved. When the light appeared on Kitty, Dudley lunged at her causing the two of them to collapse. With the opportunity, Bird Brain ran towards an opening on the roof of the factory.

"Dudley, stop him." Kitty urged him while she tried to get up.

"Don't worry, Kitty." Dudley assured her, "There's no way he'll make it to the…" He stammered as Bird Brain climbed the walls of the factory and disappeared into the exit on top of the roof.

"top." He finished while being shocked at Bird Brain's escape.


"Cheer up, Kitty." Dudley tries to cheer up his sulking partner as he was driving the TUFF mobile by pointing a laser pointer at her, "At least we got a cool souvenir from the laser factory!" He then began to try grabbing the laser point not knowing that he is moving it by himself and that he was driving carelessly. A holographic image of the Chief suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Sorry, Chief." Kitty apologizes, "We have bad news; we lost Bird Brain."

"Well I got good news; we caught Bird Brain." The Chief replied back, " We found him getting the bird-treatment in Bird Bath. Get back here this instant, agents!" After that, the image disappeared leaving the two agents dumbfounded. As the two returned to TUFF, they spotted Keswick having Ice cream with Camille.

"Oh come on!" Dudley complains, "They just knew each other yesterday and they're already dating twice in two days?" He stops the car and went to where the two were sitting.

"Hey, while you're there, can you get me a Creamy Cod?" Kitty called from the car.

"Hey, Keswick." He greeted him.

"Oh. Hey Dudley." Camille greeted him back, "Keswick and I were just talking about you."

"How could you embarrass me in front of your date?" Dudley angrily asks Keswick.

"I was tuh-tuh-talking about how much a great friend you are." Keswick corrected.

"Oh. Right. That's really great." He said with guilt.

"Hey, weren't you guys just at the Laser Pointer factory down the street?" Camille asked, "We heard there was a robbery and the robber got away."

"What kind of clumsy officer would let a villain get away like that so easily?" Keswick emphasizes.

"Oh. Uh… We were, just, going to get some ice cream." He said, slightly embarrassed. He went inside the ice cream parlor, got two cones for him and Kitty, and returned back to the TUFF Mobile.

"Hey. You only got Banana Bone." Kitty complains as she received her ice cream.

"Sorry. Got distracted." Dudley replied glumly as he watched Keswick and Camille laughing and ate his ice cream.

"Here." Kitty offered her ice cream, "You can have mine. Chief just asked us to arrest the Stink Bug for stealing the bait shop."


A little while longer, the two TUFF agents arrived at TUFF HQ with the Stink Bug who was encased in glass tight jar.

"Great job, agents." The Chief congratulates them and turns his gaze at the Stink Bug, "Take him to his cell." He commanded two other agents who escorted the villain, who was still inside the jar, into his own jail cell.

"I told ya stinkin' TUFF Agents that I didn't do nothin'". The Stink Bug protests.

"Yeah. That's what they all said." The Chief states, "No really. That's what they all said. So far every villain we caught committing a crime denies of committing the crime."
