Norman's Arrival and Cheerleading Practice

Later, the same afternoon, Norman Tuttle, Federal engineer, arrives in Middleton. As he drives through town, he starts wondering why he was assigned to such a low crime area. He had left Los Angeles two days earlier and made his way to Colorado. His superiors were not happy about the loss of the prototype motorcycle and it's rider, but they had decided to give him a second chance, only in a more peaceful setting. Little did he realize how wrong his superiors would turn out to be.

He thinks about the day he left L.A. He had finished sealing off the Command Center and made a stop at the grave of the first test pilot of the prototype. He saw Commander Altobelli, Sandy McCoy and Rachel Adams, Jesse Mach's friends and co-workers. Altobelli had turned around, smiled when he saw Norman and shook his hand.

He then said, "I gather you're all packed up, Mr. Tuttle." When Norman nodded, Altobelli continued. "Now that you're all packed up, where are you going to go to now? I don't think you're gonna find anyone like Jesse out there. But, I thank you for giving him a new lease on life, even if it was in secret. I still can't figure out how he did it though."

Norman explained that it was all thanks to a prosthetic knee that had just been approved by the FDA, thanks largely in part to Norman's field notes and Jesse's fit condition. He also explained that he was initially against using Jesse because of him being a hot-dog, particularly on a motorcycle.

Sandy then spoke up, "If it hadn't been for Jesse, I probably wouldn't have gotten away from that crazed drug lord. But, why the secret? I mean, was he ashamed to conceal his identity like that?" Norman shook his head no and explained further. When he was done, Altobelli reached for his antacid tablets and shook his head.

Altobelli then added, "Just so you know, the Chief reviewed Jesse's file and he decided to promote him to Detective, First Grade. Posthumously though. Still, he was one heck of a cop. Never let anything like what had happened get him down." He then stepped to the side to allow Norman to pass toward the grave marker.

On it was the writing, "Here lies Jesse 'Street Hawk' Mach. Killed in the line of outside duty. His duty done, may he rest in peace."

Norman knelt down and spoke softly. "Jesse, I know we had our disagreements in the past and I wish I had the chance to apologize to you. The Command Center is sealed off and I'm leaving L.A. You know, I still haven't figured out how you did that back flip over Corrido's truck. But, I'll keep working on it. Don't worry about that, you wild rascal." At that, Norman bade them farewell and left L.A. As he drove out of town, he saw three Patrol cars around him, giving him a Police escort out of town. When they reached the city limits, they gave a squawk of their sirens and turned back.

Back to the present, Norman shakes his head and decides to pull over. He stops, gets out of his pickup, goes to the trailer and opens the door. Inside, there sits a gleaming motorcycle. Sleek, aggressive looking and ready for action. He then reads the list of ideas approved by the council.

"Let's see, bullet and missile-proof armor, tranquilizer machine guns, phase-particle beam, rubber slug launcher. Perfect, all you need now is a rider." At that, he chuckles, walks out of the trailer, secures the door, walks back around, gets in and proceeds to a hotel he spots down the road. When he gets to the hotel, he asks to make a call. When the call is done, he turns in for a little rest before he goes to the new Command Center.

At school, Kim and Ron are at her locker discussing the case with Wade, the cyber genius. Wade is all over it, as usual, and assures Kim he'd have the information ready by the end of the day. At that, the two teens hook each other's arms and walk to class.

Behind them, Josh Mankey, Kim's one-time crush and ex-boyfriend is seething. He says, "How can she pick that loser over me? What does he have that I don't? For that matter, what does she see in him anyway? There's nothing special about him." He then decides to follow them to her locker when school lets out and eavesdrop. He smiles an evil smile, convinced that Kim will come back to him.

After school, Kim and Ron go to cheerleading practice, Kim in her uniform and Ron in his Mad Dog mask, as he is the Mascot of the school. Bonnie and the others are there already and they smile when they see Ron and Kim come up, ready to practice.

Tara King yells out, "Go Mad Dog, go!" At that, Ron starts his routine, doing his usual flips and his insane howl, cracking up the cheerleaders, Kim included. Bonnie claps and whistles, cheering him on, not knowing that Josh Mankey is right outside.

Kim says, "Okay, girls, let's take our routine from the top." At that, they get into formation and Ron goes into the bleachers. His naked mole rat, Rufus, comes out of his pants pocket with a pennant, cheering and whistling. With a giggle, they start.

"Go, Mad Dogs. Go, go, Mad Dogs. Go, Mad Dogs. Go, go, Mad Dogs." They then start doing their pyramid shape and Kim goes right to the top, making a perfect landing onto Bonnie and Tara's hands. Ron and Rufus stand up and cheer, making Kim elated on the inside.

She then dismounts, doing a double somersault and touching down on the ground without stumbling. Suddenly, her Kimmunicator beeps.

Ron brings it out to her and she asks, "What's the sitch, Wade?"

Wade replies, "Kim, I have a location on Motor Ed. He's in the Middleton Salvage Yard."

Kim nods and says, "You rock, Wade." At that, she nods at Ron and they take off.

Josh sees them coming to the door and hides. As soon as they clear the door, he says, "Motor Ed will know you're coming, Kim, because I'm going to warn him and wrench you away from that loser Stoppable. We are meant to be together after all." On that note, Josh quietly walks away from the gym, out the school and to his car. He then starts it and makes his way to the salvage yard.

When he gets there, he says, "I'm here to see Motor Ed. I have information that he may want to hear." He then smiles an evil smile.
