Hollywood, California. 11:37 AM
"That's a wrap. Everyone take five." A director said. One of the actors stepped off a set and to the buffet table with one of his assistants coming up to him.
"Mr. Hudson, I've got good news. Your number of votes for the Film Awards have gone up."
"That's great to hear." Hudson said. It was just another busy day in Los Angeles. That is until the whole building started shaking and a giant metal arm bust through the wall and grabbed Hudson and carried him away.

"Him. Him. Who else could you pick?" Yolei said as she was working on something on her laptop. Davis and Ken saw her and decided to check out what she was doing.
"What's going on Yolei?" Ken said.
"I'm casting my votes for the Film Awards." Yolei said.
"That reward show for celebrities?" Davis said.
"The one and only." Yolei said. "Here's the nominees for best actor. We've got Blake Masters, Jared Smith, Carter Calvin, and Tony Hudson. All of them are so dreamy and talented."
"I'm surprised. I didn't think you would be the type to get all giddy about this kind of thing." Ken said.
"What planet have you been living on? I can relate. I kill to actually meet all those actors and actresses." Davis said. Yolei did get crazy about celebrities and it proved she was just crazy by screaming. "What's the matter?"
"No. This is horrible. Tony Hudson has gone missing." Yolei said.
"Calm down. It's probably just some celebrity scam." Ken said, but they fell right through the floor before they could talk about it any further.
"This is perfect timing." Yolei screamed and they ended up in Jerry's office. "Jerry, you came at just the right time."
"I did? That's a first." Jerry said.
"Tony Hudson is gone. We have to go out and find him." Yolei said.
"I'm sure that's not why Jerry called us." Ken said.
"Actually it is." Jerry said as he showed a video of Tony being kidnapped. "Normally I wouldn't bother with this, but this is a clear indication of a crime. Your mission is just what Yolei said it is."
"You mean, we get to go to Hollywood? Awesome!" Davis said.
"What are you waiting for? Give us some gadgets so we can get this guy." Yolei demanded.
"Alright." Jerry said as he pulled open his drawer to show a pen, a disc, and a watch. "Today, you will have the video pen, spring heels to give you extra jumping power, and the photon shooting watch. Have fun and try not to get star struck."
"Easier said than done with these two." Ken said. With their mission, Jerry pressed a button and had them fall through the floor.

Hollywood, California. 12:25 PM
The spies were given passes for them to get through security at a studio. Ken was focused on the mission, but Davis and Yolei seemed more interested where the actual stars were.
"Alright. How about we start with where the kidnapping happened." Ken suggested, but the two of them were already going star crazy. "Why am I even bothering?"
"I can't believe that we're in the home of superstars." Davis said.
"Where are they? Where are all the stars?" Yolei said. She didn't look where she was going and bumped into someone. "I'm sorry." She said, but had stars in her eyes at the good looking man with brown hair and a black jacket with white pants. "Oh my gosh. You're Carter Calvin."
"A pleasure to meet you." Carter said. "Might I ask what you are doing on this studio lot?"
"We're here to investigate the disappearance of Tony Hudson." Yolei said.
"I see. It is a tragic for what happened to him. I would love to keep talking, but I have work to get to." Carter said and left.
"Guys, please remember why we're here." Ken said.
"Right. How about I go keep an eye on all the actresses." Davis said.
"I'll keep an eye on Carter." Yolei said. Ken couldn't even say anything against that because they were both already gone.
"So much for being professional." Ken said. It looked like he had to investigate on his own and he got his chance when he heard some sort of explosion. He ran over to one of the sets and saw part of the wall was demolished. "Something tells me that this isn't part of a movie." He ran over to some of the workers. "What happened here?"
"Some sort of robot came and knocked the place down. It grabbed our star and vanished."
"Who did he take?" Ken asked.
"Blake Masters."
"Blake Masters?" Ken questioned. Ken didn't had any clues as to where Blake could have gone. He decided to call Jerry for some answers. "Jerry? Jerry, are you there?"
"Right here, Ken. Is something wrong?" Jerry said.
"Another kidnapping. Can you see if there's a connection between Tony Hudson and Blake Masters?" Ken said.
"Let me see." Jerry said as he did some work. "They haven't really worked together and there's no showing of anything they have in common. That is except for the both of them nominated for "Best Actor of the Year". That's it."
"Both of them? Calvin Carter and Jared Smith are nominated for the same thing." Ken said. "I think we found the kidnappers next targets."
…
Yolei and Davis were on the set of an action movie going on. They watch Carter do some stunts over rooftop buildings as he was trying to outrun a giant robot.
"This isn't what I signed up for." Carter acted. Davis and Yolei were enjoying the show, but Ken showed up.
"You guys!" Ken said.
"Ken, you're suppose to be quiet on set." Yolei said.
"We've got a problem. Blake Masters was just kidnapped as well." Ken said. "I'm worried Jared Smith or Carter Calvin are next."
"Are you serious?" Davis said.
"Yeah." Ken said.
"Okay, you two go protect each actor while I tried to figure out who I should go to." Yolei said.
"Yolei, use your head for once." Ken said. "What are you even looking at?" He looked over to the scene. Carter came to a stop since he was trapped and the robot had his hand reach out for him.
"Here goes." Carter said and jumped to give the illusion he jumped off a building.
"Cut! Perfect!" The director said. Ken thought something strange was going on.
"Weird." Ken said. Carter stepped up to the three of them.
"Carter, you were amazing like usual." Yolei said.
"Yeah. That stunt you did was awesome." Davis said.
"Thank you. Hey, you guys must be starving. Why don't you go to the cafeteria and get whatever you like. My treat." Carter said as he handed them some money. Ken didn't even had the chance to stop them as they just took off. At least he was focused and decided to investigate the robot they used.
"That's strange." Ken said as he looked over the footage Jerry showed him. "This robot's hand is the same one that took Tony Hudson, but this is only half of it." Ken saw a group of people that work on effects. "Excuse me. Is there another half to this robot or maybe a completed version?"
"Sure is. The robot with its legs added would be about thirty feet tall or even more. We use it for some outdoor scenes and it's all remote control."
"Interesting." Ken said. Since Davis and Yolei weren't going to be any help, he decided to go to Jared Smith himself. "Someone has to be using that robot for the kidnapping. I better see what's going on with Jared Smith."
"Help!"
"You've got to be kidding." Ken said as he heard some sort of commotion, but this time, he could see what was happening and saw the same robot from before. "Looks like my hunch was correct. Time I got some spring in my step." He placed on the spring heels on the bottom of his feet and jumped real high and moved to the rooftops. He saw that the robot had a man and assumed that was Jared Smith. "Here we go." He jumped on and grabbed the robot and stayed there until it would take him to where the others were.
…
The robot walked over to an abandon warehouse district. It was able to open up the roof and drop Jared inside. Now, that Ken found out that this is where the actors are being held, he needed a plan. He got off the robot and went in through the window and saw all three of them in a cage.
"Hang on." Ken said as he got their attention. "I'm going to get all three of you out of here."
"I don't think so." Ken turned around and saw the kidnapper was Carter Calvin.
"Carter Calvin? What are you doing here?" Ken said.
"What do you think?" Carter said as he grabbed him, opened the cage door and threw him in. Ken took out the video pen and recorded it and tossed it down.
"You're the kidnapper?" Ken said.
"That's right." Carter said. "You see, I'm the greatest actor ever and the whole world will know that at Film Awards."
"That's what this is about? Just eliminating the competition?" Ken said. "You even used your own movie props to get the job done?"
"That's right. I'm the best and I'll kidnap a thousand people to prove that." Carter said. "With the award show tonight, I'm guarantee to win. I'll figure out what to do with you guys when I get back." He left them in that cage and thought they wouldn't escape.
"Please pick up." Ken said. He tried to contact Davis and Yolei, but neither of them were answering. "Of course they wouldn't answer."
"What do we do?" Tony asked.
"How do we get out of here?" Blake said.
"Good thing Carter doesn't know what I can really do." Ken said as he aimed with the photon shooting watch and blasted the bars. "Dumbest bad guy I ever faced. However, he still has to be punished for this crime. Time to crash the award show."
…..
Film Awards, Los Angeles. 11:15 PM
He reward show started up and were already underway. Davis and Yolei were able to go for work and because they got to meet more celebrities.
"This is awesome." Davis said.
"I've never been to these in real life. This is the best day of my life." Yolei said.
"Now, the reward for "Best Actor of the Year." Since three nominees have gone missing, we'll have to give it to the only one that remained. The winner is….Carter Calvin." Applause went off and Carter stepped on the stage.
"Thank you." Carter said as he took the trophy.
"Actually, the winner is not him." Everyone is surprised when they saw Ken slide down with his spy cable.
"Ken, what are you doing?" Yolei said.
"This man kidnapped those actors. He doesn't deserve to win." Ken said.
"What? That's ridiculous." Carter said and everyone believed him with them booing at Ken.
"Ken, that's a serious charge and he can't be." Yolei said.
"I already have proof." Ken said. He hooked up the video pen to the big screen and pressed play on his wrist device.
"You're the kidnapper?"
"That's right. You see, I'm the greatest actor ever and the whole world will know that at Film Awards."
"That's what this is about? Just eliminating the competition? You even used your own movie props to get the job done?"
"That's right. I'm the best and I'll kidnap a thousand people to prove that. With the award show tonight, I'm guarantee to win.
"See?" Ken said. Everyone was flabbergasted that Carter would drop so low to kidnap people just to show he's the best actor ever.
"Alright. I think the enjoyment of this trip is over." Davis said. "Why don't you come quietly, Calvin?"
"I don't think so." Calvin said and made a run for it, but the actors he kidnapped cut him off.
"To think I admire you." Yolei said as she stepped forward to him. Ken grabbed Carter by the wrist, but he still resisted.
"Just come with us quietly." Ken said.
"No way." Carter said as he pushed him off. Davis ran over to him, but Carter carefully evaded him. Ken grabbed onto Carter and Davis grabbed him, but he was still resisting.
"Out of the way." Yolei said as she grabbed a microphone and tossed it. She used it like a lasso and grabbed Carter. Not one of a fighter, all he could really do was give up. Security was called and took Carter away.
"Nice job, Ken. You solved the whole thing." Davis said. "Besides, we're sorry. We've been so distracted that we didn't help you."
"It's alright." Ken said.
"Well, from now on, we'll stay totally focused." Yolei said.
"Thanks guys, but now that the mission is over, we can enjoy this." Ken said. "You guys aren't the only ones that get star struck." Ken enjoys seeing celebrities too, but he keeps his priorities straight. Another mission done and this one gives them one of the best opportunities ever.
