Chiro ran out of school and took his favorite zigzag path that always lost Bill and Samuel. Unfortunately, it lost two others as well.
"Antauri won't be happy to hear this." Otto mumbled.
"Shut up and start searching! He couldn't have gone that far!" Nova snapped.
They flew up above the buildings.
"He didn't! Look!" Otto pointed to where Chiro had sat down and was eating a sandwich, which he hadn't had the chance to eat at lunch.
"Hi!" Nova said, causing Chiro to jump five feet in the air. "We didn't get the chance to introduce ourselves. I'm Nova and this is Otto."
"I'm Chiro." Chiro stammered. "How'd you find me?"
"We were…" Nova quickly covered Otto's mouth.
"We were looking for you." She told him.
"Why?" Chiro questioned.
"We want to talk to you. Can you come back with us to our robot?" Nova asked.
"I… I didn't mean to pull that switch! Honest I didn't! I don't know what came over me! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" Chiro yelled.
"Hey! He's that way!" A voice familiar to Chiro shouted.
"I've got to go! I'm sorry!" Chiro called over his shoulder as he ran off again.
"Wait! Come back!" Otto screamed. "How are we going to get him to the Super Robot if he keeps running away from us?"
"We have to earn his trust first." Nova replied. "Then, we can take him back to the Super Robot."
"Only if we can keep up with him!" Otto pointed out as Chiro disappeared around a corner.
The two monkeys raced after him.
Suddenly, the child, glancing behind him, unknowingly rushed into the street.
"NO!" Nova and Otto shrieked as a crash ensued.
Behind them, two buff boys chuckled.
"No way the brat's surviving that!" Bill laughed.
"Brat had it coming at him for a while now." Samuel added.
The two monkeys turned around to stare at them. They were the two who had chased Chiro into the street and they were laughing about it?
Nova wanted to beat them up, but Otto grabbed her arm.
"Chiro matters more right now." He whispered in her ear. She nodded and they hurried to where the boy lay unconscious in the street.
