"What happened?" demanded Cruger as he entered what Jack was labeling a crime scene.

Kat was the first and only to approach him. "We're not sure," she said. "But we have a suspect this time." Kat took him over to where a group of guards were questioning an elderly man.

"You realize there's no way Mr. Minkle could have done is, right?" Bridge quietly asked Jack.

The Red Ranger frowned at Cruger's reaction to accusing the janitor some distance away. "Absolutely, but I'm not going to be the one to tell Cruger that."

Bridge nodded and turned back to his scanner. "Jack," Syd said coming up to him. "You may want to see this." She handed him the scanner.

This was it. It had to be. "Grab Sam," Jack said. "It's time to put my plan into action."

Two levels and three corridors away, Sky was waiting for the Commanding OverLord. Cruger wanted him updated and Jack suggested that Sky be the one to do it.

"Schuyler Tate," the Commanding OverLord greeted as he came out of his room.

"Sir," Sky replied rising to attention.

"At ease. You're as bad as your father," the CO smiled at him. "What can I do for you?"

"Actually, sir. I'm here to fill you in," replied Sky.

"If you're talking about the internal defense mishap, I already know."

"But, sir, we just found out," objected Sky.

"Son, I'm the Commanding OverLord for the Forces of Good. It's my job to know everything."

Sky nodded and escorted the CO to his first meeting of the day. As he was leaving, he noticed Sam slip into the room in his glow-form. Not bothering with it, he headed downstairs to the third Ground Zero in the last two days.

Jack and Bridge were pouring over papers spread out over two tables. Syd was still in the middle of the mess getting as many readings as she could. Z stood off to the side keeping the cadets moving past the area.

"Hey, Sky," Boom greeted as he walked past him to bring Jack and Bridge a portable computer.

Syd waved him over as she headed for one particularly damaged area. "Anything?" he asked as he joined her.

"No," she replied frustrated. "There's isn't anything concrete enough to prove. I think they're going to get away with it."

"Only we don't know who they are," cursed Sky. "We need a break."

"Good idea, I'm hungry," agreed Syd.

"Not that kind of break. Leads, a hint, some kind of clue to jump start an investigation," Sky revised.

"Oh," Syd said.

"Anything?" Kat asked moving toward them.

Syd shook her head. "How is Cruger taking this?" asked Sky.

"He practically laughed in my face when I told him we suspected Mr. Minkle. Then, he shouted that he won't stand for anymore nonsense and something about bringing those responsible to justice," answered Kat.

"You know," Bridge said to get the team's attention. "I just noticed, no one has gotten hurt. At least this time, someone should be injured."

"He's right," said Kat.

"Not an accident," suggested Sky as he, Syd, Kat, and Z began walking toward the tables. "Just set-up to look like one?"

"It's possible," said Bridge. "Theoretically."

"No, I'm sick of theories. Kat, Boom, I want facts. Was this an accident or not?" demanded Jack.

"We're on it," replied Kat. She left with Boom on her tail.

"Syd and Sky, I want a list of everything that was damaged. And I mean everything," instructed Jack.

"Give me a scanner," Sky asked Bridge as Syd moved back out into the sea of burnt circuits and floor panels.

"Z, I want to know what's below us, around us, and the weather last night," said Jack.

Z gave him a funny look, but grabbed the portable computer and moved toward a link-up. "Bridge, where's that copy of the other planets the CO visited?"

"Right here," Bridge said grabbing them and handing them to Jack.

"Thanks," he said as he began to look them over. "I want to know what happened last night and why last night, got it Bridge?"

"Sure Jack," answered Bridge. "But where are you going?"

Turning back from where he was going, the SPD Red Ranger replied, "to make a few calls."
