Secret:
When Bart gets back to the street with the police, Robin takes the man and talks to him. I can't see Robin's face since his back's to us, but I can see the man's. He looks so scared. Robin grabs him and brings him up so they're almost nose to nose. I wonder why there's a wet spot on the front of the man's pants? Then Robin lets him go, and he falls to the floor. I think the man's crying, but I'm too far away to see.
Everything's settled with the police, and we get back to the 'Cycle and start to go back to the Cave, but Rob notices something.
"Be right back. Those stupid sons of . . . " He sounds upset. Since he didn't ask for any help, everybody stays behind. In the back seat, Cassie looks happy next to Kon, and Bart's playing with a little video game. Where did he get that from? I'm kinda worried about Robin so I follow. We've already handled the bad guy, so why is he so angry?
Oh, I see. That just makes me so mad! A couple blocks away, there's a gang of boys robbing a store. During an emergency where lots of people can get hurt, why are there always people who just make things worse? Why do they have to be so selfish? The others weren't looking in this direction, so they weren't able to see it, but Robin did.
And Robin's going to take care of them. But isn't that a lot of people to fight by himself? Why doesn't he ask for help? I fly a little faster to catch up with him. Too late, they see him and they're coming for him.
I guess he really doesn't need the rest of the team. I hang back. I love watching Robin in action. He's very graceful, although I don't know if that's the right word for a boy. It's just beautiful the way he can flip and spin in the air, and he can't fly like the rest of us (I mean, except Bart). I can kind of hear Robin say a few words. Something about a headache and breakfast. I wonder what that has to do with robbing the store?
It's all over very quickly and he calls the police to come and get the gang. Before they can get here, Robin ties the boys up. Did Bart and Cassie and Kon even notice?
"Let's go."
What?! "What?!" He's next to me already? But how did he get here so fast? I didn't even hear him. He's walking so quickly that I have to hurry to catch up.
Back in the 'Cycle, everybody's just like we left them, but is Bart playing with a different game? Cassie and Kon are sitting a lot closer now. Maybe one day Robin and I . . . In the front seat, I use the quick turns during the flight as an excuse to move a little closer to him. But I guess he doesn't notice.
When we get back to the Cave, Robin hops out. I wonder why he still looks so unhappy?
