The next week was the best she ever had; they bonded so much but she still didn't feel comfortable calling them anything other than their names. Antauri found this extremely disappointing that his own daughter wouldn't call her 'father' or even 'dad', but knew that it must be difficult to adjust to such a change……that he understood. On normal days she would either go out or stay at the robot and draw; some days they would have a little action with something they called formless or some monsters that she thought were really cool, but her family wouldn't let her fight. They instead much to her protest, forced her to stay either in her room or the conference room, buckled up in a chair. Even though she did protest she didn't do it as much as she would have if she hadn't been sneaking out almost every night; either on dates or having a little fun of her own.
On the next Saturday night she had gotten ready for her nightly action by putting on a spandex type unitard that was purple and black and then black army boots. She looked into the mirror and saw she looked incredibly sexy. She was about to grab her purse when there was a knock on her door. She panicked, got into her bed and covered up; thinking fast she placed her book on the floor like she had dropped it, rolled up her sleeve and placed it leaning over the bed to make it look like she fell asleep reading the book. She closed her eyes as her father walked in
"Adeline…I was just wondering why…" he noticed that she was asleep, "oh…" he gave a small laugh and walked over picking up the book and placing it on her nightstand. He had come in to see why her light was still on; she had been acting sleepy for the last couple of days and he was a little worried. He looked at her, she was so peaceful when she slept; he reached over and clicked her lamp off, turned and left to allow her to sleep.
As soon as he left Adeline opened her eyes and waited a few moments to make sure that it was safe to get up. As she clambered up she rushed over to the door peeking outside, all the lights were off, so she knew that they had gone to bed and it was safe to leave. Hurrying over, she grabbed her purse and snuck out of her room, closing the door quietly. She snuck down to the vehicle room where she opened the hatch and rolled out the motorbike; she couldn't start it in the Robot…her family would hear it, so she started it about a block away and headed toward the bad side of town…..

Meanwhile in Gibson's room; he awoke to the sound of his alarm going off; he awoke with a start and asked himself, "What?" He rushed over to his computer and checked it out; then he remembered he had set a silent alarm because he noticed on the Robot's system that foot crusher cruiser 5 was being opened almost every night. He looked at his screen and noticed that the cruisers door had just been accessed from vehicle storage just moments ago. He knew that someone either came in or went out so he sounded the Robot's danger alarm to alert the team; then he headed to the conference room to wait for the team

If you could have seen all the different rooms in the robot you would have seen the Nova opening her eyes and then shoving her pillow over her head, Sprx groggily sat up and slammed back down saying "You have got to be kidding", Chiro got right up, Antauri did too, but Otto didn't even stir and Chiro obviously knew he wouldn't because he went and pounded on his door before heading to the living room.
They all arrived to find Gibson sitting in his chair; they all looked at him funny
"What's going on Gibson?" Chiro said rubbing his eye and yawning
Gibson looked up and turned the screen on; it showed a layout of the Super Robot and there was a blinking light on Nova's Crusher Cruiser. "Someone has either been going in or out of the robot for the last week….I've been keeping track and it's not a computing error because someone just accessed it again moments ago…."
They were all silent for only moments when Sprx spoke out, "Well no one can get in here without using the power or primate so someone must be going out…"
Nova didn't think about it but she asked, "Who would leave? Were all here…"
Antauri looked around and realized saying, "Not everyone…"
They realized Adeline wasn't there and they all rushed to her room to find her bed empty.
"Where is she!" Chiro said asking aloud
"I don't know…maybe we can find out" Otto said. Going to the console he accessed the video surveillance cameras. They watched as they saw Adeline sneak into the vehicle storage and head towards the monkey team's motorbike and leave through the bay doors.
Sprx flipped, "Aw man! She took the bike! The good one too!"
"But why did she?" Gibson said wondering, "Otto is there a tracking device on the motorbike..?"
"Yeah…" he said turning it on. They saw that it was on the opposite side of Shuggazoom; where there was usual unlawful activity
"What in the world! Why is she over there!" Nova exclaimed getting worried about her niece
"I don't know" Antauri said with an angry look, "but I think it's time we found out" At that he started to walk out and once he was out of sight Otto said
"Uh…oh…he looks angry"
"Yeah…so am I!" Sprx yelled and walked out. The rest of the monkey team followed but didn't speak their minds…no matter what emotion they were feeling they kept their mouths shut for now….
As they got near to the signal they landed in an alley to stay discreet; they wanted to know what exactly she had been sneaking around for. They peeked around a wall to see her leaning against her bike with her arms crossed next to a motorcycle gang and talking tough to the leader…….
