Reno and company still at the police station were shocked still being their for a good 20 minutes, Freeman continued, "I don't believe you; I think you are all responsible for the auto thefts!"
"But Leon!" Mr. Frensky sighed, "We aren't stealing cars; we are building cars from old parts."
"I am sorry I am just annoyed, we haven't caught these guys yet and they stole 39 vehicles. I am also trying to capture those who kidnapped your daughter."
They released them and they had gone home for the evening.
Mr. Read had some explaining to do, "Arthur, D.W. meet my new partner Nigel Ratburn."
Arthur's jaw had dropped in shock, "Dad, you are going to marry him?"
"Yes, you see, we are both in love, I love his company, and he will be your new step-dad."
Arthur wasn't impressed, "Everyone will make fun of me!"
Mr. Ratburn explained, "They won't, look at Sue Ellen's mom-"
"Sue Ellen happens to be in a state of shock," Arthur yelled as he stormed upstairs.
"We need to explain it a bit better…" Ratburn suggested.
D.W. was still there, "It is well… cool."
Mr. Read sighed, "I wish your brother could understand though…"
"He is embarrassed that since I used to be his third grade teacher, he feels threatened that his classmates will make fun of him."
"That is probably why…"

It wasn't too late, Mr. Kane was talking to Fern, "This is just like old times, you a shy fourth grader trying to set things straight with Muffy, now you with the magic wand, trying to set things straight with Max… oh how things must change."
"Jason… I did it by accident, I want to go back to Terra to set things straight… baby Max hates me each time I hold him he cries."
"He probably is scared you are going to kidnap him… I don't know I never been to Tigris before…"
The next day, Sue Ellen still hadn't talked as more machinery to keep her alive was hooked up, she was starting to develop some health problems, and the doctor had looked at her, taken her heartbeat, everything, "Hmm… her health is starting to fail."
Mrs. Armstrong was shocked, "What? Why?"
"She has been in shock for a while already, there usually health problems that is why intervenes is hooked up so she can last a while longer just incase she well… snaps out of it."
Sue Ellen's spirit looked down over the cat girl's lifeless body.
Oh no… I am going to die… my life is over…
Mrs. Armstrong told Mrs. Clarkson not to bring Max over… unless he was back at his normal age.
"Anything?" She asked her husband.
"Nothing…"
Arthur had seen her; she still didn't acknowledge his presence, "When you get better, we are going to play some DDR…"
Mrs. Armstrong put her hand on his shoulder, "I don't know when she will talk again… I know you had fun playing DDR with her, but with poor Max as a baby, I know if she sees him as a baby still her condition will get worse."
The tiger family was at home, Mrs. Clarkson sighed, "Reno, you need to stop this, Mr. Freeman was wondering where you were, I can't keep on lying to him, one of these days, you and your friends are going to get arrested."
"We only have 21 more cars."
"21 too many… You are going to get caught, the long arm of the law is stepping up patrols around car lots, cruise nights and car shows, if you aren't careful, they will put you in jail, I don't want that, your son doesn't want that."
Mr. Clarkson looked at the baby tiger boy; he sighed sadly and sniffed, "Eww…"
His wife chuckled, "Looks like you have to change him."
Mr. Clarkson grudgingly changed his sons diaper, and gave him to his wife, "I will try and see if there is a way that we can get the police, we are only like 10 days out of 30 in the deadline."
"Yea, but the police are on high alert; state and highway patrol may get involved now," she got the baby carriage and she placed Max in it, "I am going to take Max around the block."
Reno had gone to see Moss, Buck and Mr. Crosswire, they had looked at all the pictures of the chases they had gone through, "See this was last night when all those police cars went into the river, good times." He turned to the one when Reno and Buck did that insane jump off the building, "I am surprised the cars shocks weren't shot or the car fell apart, it was an awesome jump."
Mr. Crosswire chuckled, "Here is the one where Reno threw the boa out of the window hitting the police car."
Almost 20 different photos were taken, both with results of damage to public and private property, this was a personal victory for them. But they had hidden the photos, Mr. Freeman and Mr. Ryder came back.
"Afternoon gentlemen, where are those car parts you have?" Freeman asked, Mr. Crosswire pointed them out they weren't the ones from Rockwood, just some that were lying around, "I see, and you guys are building what?"
"We are building a car like those American Chopper guys," Buck lied but Freeman believed him.
Freeman joked, "So Moss is that one guy who just yells at everyone, I take because he well doesn't have much hair…"
Mr. Ryder sighed, "You guys do realize that 12 cars were stolen from the auto show right?"
"Yes…"
"Once we get our hands on these four perps, they will be in jail for a long time… a very long time, they had destroyed several of our cruisers, and are part of city property, we managed to fix them up, but the ones that ended up in the river had to be reupholstered."
Mrs. Clarkson was taking Max for a stroll around the block, it around 3:45 it had started to rain; she was by the Armstrong house. She went there because it was raining quite heavily and she didn't want Max to get sick.
Mrs. Armstrong opened the door, "I thought I told you that Max shouldn't be here, but I will let you stay because it is raining," Mrs. Armstrong held Max in her arms, as she bottle fed him, "Be sure he doesn't go into the den, Sue Ellen is still on the couch."
Max was talking baby talk as Mrs. Armstrong held him; it had tore at her heartstrings, because he had reminded her of when Sue Ellen was a baby.
She set him down and both women were talking, without noticing Max was crawling towards the den.
