Shortly after Malachite left, Ralph walked near the door of the shed. He after unsuccessfully trying to unlock the door by pointing his finger at it, Ralph decided to kick the door in. The guard inside turned toward the noise, only to appear to fall down.
Ralph popped back visible with a clenched fist, and proceeded to untie Pam's hands. "Are you all right, how's Bill," asked Ralph.
"If fine, but Bill hasn't moved since he was hit, and I think we'd better get the bomb away from the plant," said Pam.
"Right, but first things first, you and Bill need to get away from here," Ralph said as he picked up Bill in a fireman's carry. The older man groaned slightly, but didn't wake up.
He and Pam then proceeded to walk to the car. As Ralph placed the other man in the back seat, Bill came to. "Ralph, what. ..."
"You took a pretty hard knock from your fellow combatant, but you should be all right. Now, I think you and Pam need to get out of here in case I can't destroy the bomb," said Ralph.
"No way kid, I've had hits that'd knock out a charging buffalo and walked away unscathed. Besides, you need cover in case they try to attack you," said Bill.
"All right, fine," said Ralph. He then turned to Pam and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Pam, you need to get away from here as quickly as you can, no excuses."
"Ralph ... be careful," said Pam. Ralph nodded, gave her a quick kiss and he and Bill headed toward the hydroelectric plant.
-------------------------------------------------------
Inside the plant, Malachite and his men stood guard near the bomb, concerned that there might be another FBI agent on the case.
As the enemy agents stood by, Bill and Ralph kept watch from a distance. "Now kid, we need to get in there and disable both them and the bomb," said Bill.
"Right," said Ralph. "You distract them while I sneak in invisible and grab the bomb."
"Just be careful. With that magic jammies acting funny, we don't know if the suit will protect you if the bomb blows."
Ralph nodded, remembering the bullets stinging when they hit him, and turned invisible. Bill snuck around the group and shouted, "Freeze - FBI, this is a bust. Put your hands up to where I can see them."
Malachite and his men only laughed. "Well, I guess Chiastolite was right in saying you could manage to get out of any place you're locked in, but no matter. In three minutes, the bomb will go off and destroy the hydroelectric plant. Los Angeles will be under water," he said.
As he was talking, Ralph snuck around the men and started to lift the bomb from the area, startling one of the gunmen. The man's response caused Ralph to pop back visible. "Get him," shouted Malachite.
The men aimed their guns at Ralph and fired, only to find out he was impervious to bullets. They then resorted to throwing punches, but within a minute, the gunmen were lying in a heap. Malachite, the only one who didn't fight, was dumbfounded, which was all the time Bill needed to reach him, grab his gun and put him into custody.
Bill turned to Ralph and noticed that there was only a minute left on the bomb's timer. "Ralph, get that bomb away from here," shouted Bill.
"Got it," said Ralph as he picked up the bomb, took three steps and jumped, taking flight. He flew up to nearly 40,000 feet, and, after making sure there were no planes in the vicinity below where he was, threw the bomb up in the air another 100 yards. The bomb exploded and sent debris flying down, but Ralph was too far away for it to harm him.
Ralph flew back down to the hydroelectric plant. Bill was calling the police to pick up Malachite and his men, then called Pam on the car phone, and she headed back to the plant.
As Bill hung up the phone, Ralph landed and hurried over. "Bill, we did it, we got the bad guys and destroyed the bomb." He noticed Bill rub the back of his head, and frowned. "How's the head, partner?"
"Hurts like everything, Ralph, but I'll feel a lot better when I see the look on Carlisle's face as he reads about my impressive capture in the report," said Bill. "How about you, Ralph? You look pale as a sheet."
"I'm fine," said Ralph, "Though I could really go for a good meal and some orange juice right now."
"Kid, I'll treat you to the biggest and best dinner you've had in months, but right now, let's get these guys in the shed so the agency can pick them up."
Just then, Pam arrived with Bill's tan sedan. Bill gave Ralph another look and said, "In the car, Ralph, no arguments. I don't care what you say, but you look like you're about to keel over. You need to rest."
"If you're sure you'll be all right ... " said Ralph hesitantly.
"Yeah kid, I'm sure. These guys aren't going anywhere and the police van's about five minutes out."
Ralph nodded and got in the back seat of the car. "So, did you save the day again," asked Pam.
"Yeah, flew up into the skies and threw the bomb up another 100 yards or so," said Ralph as he lay down on the back seat. "But we got them before they destroyed the plant."
"You sure did, hun," said Pam with a smile on her voice, "and later on, you and I can have a nice dinner and ... Ralph?"
Pam turned around and looked into the back seat. Ralph lay on the seat, eyes closed. "Ralph..." Pam started, but once she saw him turn onto his side and snore softly, she relaxed, realizing he was asleep. She found a blanket Bill had in the car and covered Ralph with it as the police van pulled up to get the enemy agents.
Bill then got into passenger side of the sedan and Pam started the car and drove away from the plant. Bill turned and looked in the backseat. "Counselor, is Ralph. ..."
"He's fine, Bill, just asleep, pretty much once his head hit the seat," said Pam. "I think we better let him sleep for a bit, it might help get him and the suit get completely back in sync."
"Yeah, good thinking Counselor. Then, later on, when he's rested, we can all go out for dinner, my treat," said Bill. the drive in silence, letting Ralph sleep in peace and quiet.
