Hiccup tossed and turned in his bed, trying to fall asleep, but the clue, the note, was seared in his mind. What did it mean? What was Viggo saying? He let out a breath, turned over, and tried to go back to sleep, but the note was too forefront in his mind for him to be able to relax. Heaving a soft groan, so as not to wake up Jack, he rolled out of bed, walked over to the desk, and turned on the little lamp. He shot a glance at his brother to make sure that the noise hadn't woken him before pulling out the slip of paper they had found. He knew the words by heart now, but there may yet be a clue on the paper itself. His eyes rushed through the now familiar words on the paper.

"The black Dragon that would fill the night with fury shall be in place when the sun sets on the day of thunder." He let out a soft huff before turning to examining the paper, front and back. Was there a secret code somewhere? A certain way to read the message? Or was there another message hidden on the paper? Something that wasn't invisible ink since he and Jack went through every single variation they could think of for invisible ink last night. What else could there be?

"The black Dragon that would fill the night with fury shall be in place when the sun sets on the day of thunder," he muttered. He kept coming back to the message, it had to be in there somewhere, but apparently only members of Viggo's ring knew the code. Maybe if he worked on it bit by bit? Figuring out what day of thunder meant was probably more important as it would at least give him a clue to when the theft is supposed to happen. So, day of thunder . . . a thunderstorm? No, that didn't quite sound right, the next few days were supposed to be clear, and the theft would happen by the end of the week. So, what else would the thunder be referring to? A lot of noise? A movie? Well, movies were out, if Jack had anything to say about it. Then what? His mind went back to his last encounter with Viggo, in which he got clean away, thanks to the help of his gang. Hiccup had let him go, he had threatened Merida and Jack if Hiccup didn't comply with his demands. He had no choice. Yes, Merida and Jack weren't in immediate danger, but Viggo had his ways and would have followed through. Hiccup knew that much. But Viggo's final words came roaring into the front of his mind.

"You're no Norse god, Hiccup, so don't even bother."

"Norse god?" Hiccup had asked, but Viggo was already gone. "Norse god?" he asked again, at his desk, understanding beginning to dawn on him. "Norse gods!" he whispered excitedly. "Of course, day of thunder, Thor's day! Thursday!" He glanced at the calendar by the desk and nearly fell over. Today was Thursday! The theft was going to happen at sunset! Hiccup's eyes raced back to the paper, but, theft of what? "The black Dragon that would fill the night with fury," he muttered. "Why is dragon capitalized? Unless . . . it's a name!"

"A name of what?" mumbled Jack drowsily. He leaned on the desk as he rubbed his eyes and let out a yawn.

"Jack! Oh, sorry if I woke you . . ."

"Nah, you're fine, I just woke up and heard that last bit. So, name of what?"

"Jack, we need to contact Chief Alvin right away. I figured out the the theft is going to take place at sunset, today!"

"Say what?"

"It's not evident at first glance, but, think about it. Do you remember when Chief Alvin kept asking us about the Norse gods pertaining to this case?"

"Uh, yeah, that's what got us into it in the first place."

Hiccup picked up their book of Norse gods and flipped it to Thor. "Jack, day of thunder is Thor's day. Thursday!"

Jack's eyes widened as he grabbed the book. "You're right! And today is Thursday!"

Hiccup nodded. "Exactly, this is going to happen at sunset."

"But what about that part about a name?"

"The D in dragon is capitalized, and . . ."

"And you usually only do that for a name!"

"Exactly."

"But, what would be named Dragon?" asked Jack, scratching his head.

"What if it's a jewel?" Hiccup whispered as his eyes widened, understanding beginning to dawn on him yet again.

"Say what?" Hiccup didn't reply, only dashed out of the room, Jack on his heels. The two bounded down the stairs.

"Oh, good morning, Hiccup, Jack! Breakfast will be ready . . . boys?" Their mother peeked out of the kitchen when the boys zoomed past the kitchen and into the living room. Hiccup practically pounced on the newspaper and flipped through it.

"Ah-ha! Jack, this is it!"

Jack let out a sharp gasp followed by a low whistle. "No wonder why we didn't think of it!"

"Uh, would you two mind explaining what's going on?" asked Valka as she joined them in the living room.

"Hiccup figured out Viggo's plan!" began Jack.

"He's going to strike at sunset . . ." said Hiccup.

"Today, because it's Thursday, Thor's day!"

"And he's going to steal the Dragon Eye Opal!" finished Hiccup, showing their mother the black opal in the newspaper.

Valka's mouth dropped open before she said firmly, "You'd better inform Chief Alvin and your father immediately."

"Wait, Dad's not here?" asked Jack as Hiccup rose from the sofa.

Valka shook her head, "No, he left early this morning for the office. They're probably racking their brains right now for the answer. You'd better phone them now."

"On it!" they shouted as they bounded for the phone. Hiccup picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number. It was quickly answered by a tired voice.

"Chief Alvin Terrebone's office, Alvin speaking."

"Chief! It's Hiccup!"

"And Jack!"

"We figured out the clue!"

"You did what?" came Alvin's voice over the receiver, sounding much brighter already.

"Yes! Hiccup figured it out!" exclaimed Jack.

"Hold on a second, I'm putting you on speaker." They heard some movement before Alvin's voice came back on, sounding a bit different, though they knew it was because of the phone being on speaker. "Your dad's here, what don't you tell us what you figured out."

"Wait, what did you figure out?" asked their father.

"The clue!" the two chorused.

"Start talking," their father said.

"Should I give you the whole story, or just the answer?" asked Hiccup. Their father did like to know the full story of how they came to their conclusions, but if time was of the essence.

"How about a summary, or a quick run-through?" Hiccup let out a grin at the answer, Mr. North was certainly interested.

"Well, I couldn't it out of my mind, so, early this morning, I decided to take a second look at it."

"We ran all our tests for invisible ink last night, so we know there was nothing else except that message," quipped Jack.

"Right, so I got to thinking about what day of thunder could mean. Was it weather, a movie, what? But nothing I thought of made sense. But then I got to thinking about what Viggo said right before he slipped my fingers. He had mentioned that I'm not a Norse god."

"Yeah, the main reason why you got into this mess, since your mom is such an authority on Norse mythology and was out of town at the time," quipped Alvin.

"We know," replied Jack.

"Anyway, that got me to thinking about the Norse gods, and I remembered, the god of thunder, so, the day of thunder is Thor's Day, or as we know it better as, Thursday!"

"Good job Hiccup! So the theft is going to happen at sunset today!" blurted their father, the pride evident in his voice.

"Great! But, what's he supposed to be stealing?" asked Alvin.

"The Dragon Eye Opal!" chorused the brothers.

"Say what?" asked the two men.

"Read the note again," suggested Hiccup. "Notice anything?"

"Um . . . the black Dragon that would fill the night with fury . . . uh."

"Why would the D in dragon need to be capitalized?" asked Hiccup.

"Unless it was a name!" blurted Jack.

"And the catchphrase of the Dragon Eye Opal is that 'its black streak is so black it could fill the night with fury'!" their father exclaimed.

"Right!" the brothers chorused.

"Good job you two! I knew I could count on you!" exclaimed Alvin, his voice sounding so much more chipper than when he answered the phone.

"Thanks!" they replied.

"Though, it was mainly Hiccup," quipped Jack, beaming with pride at his big brother.

"We're going to set up a plan for the museum where the Dragon Eye Opal is going on display. You two meet us here for lunch."

"Um, what about the girls?" asked Jack.

"What about them?" asked Mr. North.

"Should we tell them?"

"No! This will be too dangerous!" blurted Hiccup.

Jack eyed him. "Uh-huh, right, like detective work isn't dangerous at all. Just admit, Hiccup, Viggo threatened Merida's life, didn't he?" Hiccup gulped. "Just as I thought, probably add myself to the equation for good measure. But, need I remind you, dear brother, that Merida Brown can take quite good care of herself? I've got the bruises to prove it." Hiccup replied with a nervous chuckle.

"I do think we should let them know of the developments, they have been a great help to us on this case, as always."

"Yeah, as always," mumbled Hiccup. Jack stifled a knowing grin.

"But I do agree with Jack, they can handle themselves, they have solved as many cases as you have, and just as dangerous. I think it's only fair that they help us see it through to the end."

Hiccup let out a sigh. "Oh, alright. Do you want us to contact them, or you?"

"Contact who?" The brothers turned and yelped.

"M-Merida!" stuttered Hiccup.

"Rapunzel, Moana, Kristoff . . . just the people we needed to talk to!" Jack glanced down at his pajamas. "But, uh, not at this moment. Mom!"

Merida placed her hands on her hips. "Don't tell me you forgot that we were coming over today to help you decipher the clue."

"Oh we did, don't worry about that. But, only because Hiccup already deciphered it!"

"What? You did?" asked Kristoff.

"Hiccup, Jack? Who's there?" their father's worried voice came over the line.

"Oh, it's just the rest of our team. We'll fill them in on the details, and we'll see you at lunch! Bye!" Hiccup didn't give them time to reply as he quickly hung up the phone and ushered Jack up the stairs. The two quickly changed before bounding right back down the stairs. Their four friends were sitting down at the table while Valka served.

"So, care to explain?" asked Merida, clearly upset that she didn't decipher the clue.

"Oh, we will, don't worry," quipped Jack with a grin. "But first, where are the others?"

Moana let out a sigh, "Joey's gone with his cousin on another top secret mission, he doesn't know when they'll be back, or if they need our help. And Elena's not going to be here until later, she has to get her sister to school."

"Oh, um, Elsa and Anna and got a message from Will Reckless, Jake's gone missing."

"Wait what?" the others exclaimed.

"When?" blurted Jack.

"Will said Jake was supposed to contact him on Tuesday, but when he didn't hear anything by yesterday morning, he began to panic and contacted Elsa. She and Anna booked the last flight out to his last known whereabouts, in Seattle."

"Wow, no wonder you look so worried, that's practically on the other side of the country!"

"Jack, Washington and Maine are on opposite sides of the country, not Washington and Illinois," quipped Hiccup.

"Whatever."

"Well then, let's get this mystery over with so we can help Anna and Elsa find Jacob!" blurted Merida, looking pointedly at Hiccup.

"Oh, right, well, about the clue . . ." Hiccup and Jack retold the whole story. By the time they had finished, Merida's anger had subsided.

"That was good, Hiccup, I wouldn't have thought of that," she admitted.

"Thanks Mer," replied Hiccup with a grin.

"And dad wants us all to meet them at the station for lunch. We're going to go over a plan of action for this evening, and we need to be absolutely sure what everyone is going to be doing, when, and where."

"Wait, your dad wants all of us?" asked Rapunzel.

"Well, yes, you've all been a big help on the case, and he figured that you would all like to see it through to the end," replied Hiccup.

"Wow, he does know us well," said Merida as she blinked in surprise.

Jack chuckled nervously. "Nah, just us, and how a detective thinks, being a detective himself, that's all."

"But, Elsa and Anna . . ." began Rapunzel.

Hiccup let out a sigh. "We're going to have to do it without them. It goes down tonight." At that moment, the doorbell rang.

"There's Elena!" exclaimed Moana as she jumped up from her seat. Valka was already opening the door and letting in Elena when the group arrived. "Elena, you're here!" exclaimed Moana as she hugged her best friend.

"Of course I am! Sorry I'm late, the traffic was insane! I'm just glad I was able to get Isabel to school safely, it was that bad."

"Hey, you do what you need to take care of your little sister first, mysteries can wait," replied Hiccup with a knowing smile and a knowing glance at Jack.

Elena smiled at him. "Thanks Hiccup. Now, let's get that clue deciphered!"

"Oh yeah, time to fill you in too," quipped Jack with a sly grin.

Elena blinked in surprise. "What are you talking about?" The group glanced at each other with grins before they led her into the dining room and proceeded to tell her everything that had happened in the past two hours. Her mouth was gaping and she looked at Hiccup with new-found admiration. "Wow, you . . . that was amazing! I would have never thought of that! But then again, I'm more well-versed in Latin American culture rather than Norse, like you guys and the Bukaters are." She glanced at Valka as she finished speaking, the real source of the boys knowledge.

"Right? We each have our specialty, something that helps the group out!" exclaimed Rapunzel with a wide grin.

Merida had to laugh. "That's right, Punz! We do! And we wouldn't be able to solve many mysteries without each other." She smiled at each in turn, though her eyes lingered on Hiccup. Hiccup smiled warmly in reply.

"So . . . now what do we do? Hiccup's already did the majority of the work, and it's still a few hours till lunch," pointed out Kristoff.

"I know! Let's contact Elsa, Anna, and Joey!" exclaimed Rapunzel.

"Good idea!" the others chorused. Kristoff whipped out his phone, followed by Rapunzel and Moana.

"Uh, hold on, who should we call first?" asked Merida.

"Well, when were they supposed to reach their destinations?" asked Hiccup.

"Oh, Anna and Elsa should be getting into Seattle any minute now," replied Kristoff.

"And Joey sent me a text this morning telling me they got in alright," replied Moana.

"Well then, Joey's first. By the time we get off with him, Anna and Elsa should have enough time to get to a hotel room, I hope," stated Hiccup. Moana was already dialing Joey's number before Hiccup could finish speaking. She had it on speakerphone, so everyone could hear the phone ringing.

"Come on, Joey, please pick up," Moana whispered when the phone had rung five times.

"Hello?" came a voice over the line.

"Joey!" exclaimed Moana.

"Hey Mo! Didn't I just text you about two hours ago?"

"Yeah, sorry about that, the rest of the gang wanted to talk to you as well. This is Hiccup, by the way."

"I can tell, your voice doesn't really change all that much over the phone," quipped Joey.

Jack snickered. "I keep telling him that."

"Hiya Jack! So, wait, is the whole gang there? Oh, wait! We were supposed to go over that clue Viggo's gang dropped to day! Oh man, I'm so sorry, I clean forgot!"

"Hey, it's fine. Hiccup had it all figured out by the time we arrived this morning," quipped Merida, a hint of pride in her voice.

"Really? So, what does it say?" asked Joey. Hiccup and Jack took turns telling their story. "Whoa, nice going, Hiccup!" exclaimed Joey when they finished their tale.

"Thanks!"

"How's everything going on your end?" asked Jack.

"Well, considering we just started our investigation, there's nothing to report. I mean, we got here just fine, but, my cousin's kind of worried. He said that we were supposed to meet someone at the airport, but he never showed up. And now I'm getting worried that someone may be watching us."

"Would you like any of us to head over there?" asked Kristoff.

"Not now, not until we've gotten an idea of the situation, but please be ready to jump on the first plane out to Detroit, just in case. I'll call Moana with any updates."

"Sounds like a plan," said Merida.

"Could you tell us what this mission is about?" asked Rapunzel. "Or is it too top secret?"

"Well, I can't talk about it right now, I don't have all of the information. Jay just wanted me along, I think. I hope he tells me soon. I have this bad feeling that something's going to happen to him."

"Well, I certainly hope nothing happens," said Rapunzel.

"Me neither," replied Joey.

"Hey man, since you're basically the expert on the field, have any tips on how to handle Viggo?" asked Jack.

"The biggest rule to keep in mind is, to be careful. You don't know what they're thinking, you don't even know all the time if they have a weapon. So, it's best to proceed with caution in any scenario, but always have a plan, and the police nearby."

"Oh, the police are definitely going to be nearby, don't you worry about that," quipped Hiccup.

"Good. Hey, listen, I need to go, I think Jay's coming back. At least, I hope he's the one coming, if not . . . Moana, keep your phone on stand by, please? I might have to call for back-up sooner than I thought."

"Of course, Joey! I'll be ready to head out too!"

"Thanks."

"Hey, Moana, maybe you should opt out of tonight's fiasco," suggested Jack.

Moana nodded, "Good idea. I'll head home and pack right now!"

"Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it."

"Not at all man, now go make sure your cousin's alright," said Jack.

"And stay safe yourself!" said Kristoff.

"Right, thanks again. Talk to you later!"

"Bye!" the group chorused. Both phones were hung up, and Moana practically jumped up.

"Sorry about this . . ."

"Hey, we want Joey back in one piece too," stated Hiccup as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"And Moana, let us know if he calls you, alright? If we've captured Viggo before he calls you, we'll join you, if not, we'll get out there as soon as possible," said Jack.

"So, if Elsa and Anna need help?" asked Kristoff.

Hiccup let out a sigh. "I guess we're going to have to split up. Jack and I will join Moana in helping Joey, maybe he'll finally give us his number." Jack snickered. "Kristoff, you can take whoever wants to go with you to help Anna and Elsa."

"Well, I can't go, I have to take care of Isabel," quipped Elena, throwing up her arms.

"Sorry Elena," said Moana.

"Hey, maybe you can be traffic control, or center of operations, so to speak," suggested Merida.

"Meaning?"

"Meaning, if the two mysteries just so happen to be connected, or we need someone who's not in the line of fire to do some research for us, then you'll be the girl for the job," explained Jack.

"Well, alright."

"Which means you have to come with us to the meeting at lunch and help us snag Viggo, you might pick up a few things that could help us later," stated Hiccup.

Elena nodded. "Sounds like a plan. As long as I have enough time to pick up Isabel from school and be back in time to help catch Viggo, we'll be good."

"Alright, now that we've got that all figured out, should I give Anna a quick call before Moana leaves?" asked Kristoff, his phone ready to call.

"Oh yes, please!" exclaimed Moana, sitting back down. Kristoff hit the dial button, and the phone rang. Like with Joey, it rang for a while, and Kristoff was getting anxious.

"Hello?" came a voice.

"Anna! It's Kristoff! Are you and Elsa alright?"

"Oh, Kristoff! We're fine. We just got into our hotel. Can't talk for long, she's anxious to get out and follow our first lead."

"Come on Anna . . . why do you have your speakerphone on?"

"Oh, Kristoff does, so I figured the rest of the gang is together. Hi everyone!"

"Hi Anna! Hi Elsa!" came the chorused reply.

"We just wanted to check up on you and see how you were doing," said Rapunzel.

"Kristoff told us about Jacob's disappearance," stated Merida.

"Oh, yes, well, he's probably given you everything we already know, so, there's nothing new to report," replied Elsa.

"Besides the new lead?" asked Rapunzel.

"Yes, besides the new lead," replied Elsa with a sigh.

"Hey, if you two need any help, just let us know," said Kristoff.

"Thanks Kristoff!" exclaimed Anna.

"Though, it might only be Kristoff and a few others. Joey and Jay are off on a secret mission, and Joey is having some uneasy feelings," stated Jack.

"Oh wow, I hope the two aren't connected," quipped Anna.

"Same here, I'd be the center of operations if that was the case," blurted Elena.

"Huh?" asked Anna.

"I can't leave because of Isabel."

"Oh, right, well, it would be best if someone stayed to be the source of research, or center of operations, as you so eloquently put it," stated Anna, a smile evident in her voice.

"Uh-huh, right, such fun," mumbled Elena.

"Well, we really need to go, need to get to the bottom of this lead while it's still hot. Thanks for checking in, and we promise to give you a call if we need help!" said Elsa.

"Well, I promise, anyway. Thanks, and we'll talk to you later! Love you, Kristoff!"

"Love you too, Anna!" said Kristoff.

"Bye!" called out of the others before the phone hung up.

"Well, now what?" asked Jack, indicating that there was still a few hours until lunch.

"Well, I'm heading home to pack. Tell me how it goes!" said Moana as she got up to leave. The others wished her well before turning back to the now-practically solved mystery and going over everything that had happened. At lunch, they were sitting around a large table at the police station, with food, maps, and papers piled on it.

"So, what do you think their plan of action is?" asked Hiccup as they practically bore holes into the schematics of the museum.

Alvin pointed to a location on the map. "Well, based on the information we got from the museum, the Dragon Eye Opal will be on open display here. And I can see why Viggo thought it an ideal spot. Yes, people are looking at it, but in order for the crowds to actually move around it freely, the guards have to be positioned at the doorways, allowing them room to view the Opal. All Viggo needs to do is drop down from the ceiling, pluck the Opal from its case, and head straight back up to the ceiling. The guards won't have enough time to catch him before he gets up to the ceiling, or to nab him on his escape route."

"What about any alarms, trip wires, or any other security?" asked Jack.

"That's all ground level, no one can snatch the Opal from the ground, hence why I said Viggo will come in from the ceiling. He can grab it and be off before anyone could respond."

"Which means that we will have to make sure that we are the only ones in the room for sunset, or he'll get away for sure," remarked North.

"That means that you will have to be the group of the moment. You have the tour reserved for sunset. So, I guess you'll have to pretend you're couples going out . . ."

"Um, Viggo already knows who we are," pointed out Jack, stealing a glance at Hiccup.

Hiccup let out a sigh. "And we have reason to believe he knows who's in the group."

"Uh, OK, so, I guess you're just going to have to pretend that you don't know what's happening at sunset. Say, you know, it was your father's and my idea to get away from the mystery for a while."

"Uh, OK, but, I don't think Viggo is going to buy it," quipped Jack.

"Then go to dinner beforehand, I don't know, try something!"

Hiccup let out a sigh. "Alright, Chief, we'll go to dinner beforehand and make a date out of it."

"Um . . ." began Elena and Kristoff, glancing at each other.

"I'm going out with Anna," blurted Kristoff.

"And I'd have to get Isabel from school," stated Elena.

"OK, OK, fine, so, Hiccup, Merida, Jack, and Rapunzel go have a dinner date and you two just show up at the tour afterwards. You told me there'll be six of ya going, so I reserved six spots on the tour."

"OK, Chief, don't get too out of shape," said Jack as he raised his hands to calm down Alvin.

"Uh, wait, will there be more people on the tour?" asked Hiccup.

"We couldn't exactly do just the six of you, then Viggo would know it was a trap for sure," North pointed out.

"Alright, fine, the four of us will head out to dinner, and Kristoff and Elena will join us for the tour. Anything else we should know?" asked Hiccup.

"Yeah, stay as close to the Opal as possible, without drawing too much attention to yourselves. You need to be close enough to nab Viggo, or whichever henchman he sends down."

"Right," the six chorused with a nod.

"Well, I think that's it. We'll have a couple of policemen positioned within the museum along with the regular guards, and the rest of us will be surrounding the museum. It looks like we have a pretty good plan. I suggest we all head home and get ready for this evening. We're going to need all of our wits about us," stated North. The group nodded and voiced their agreement. The couples promised to meet up at the restaurant at four, as sunset was around six at that time of year. The group left the station and went home for little rest before the two couples met up at the restaurant. Though, upon arriving, Jack began to groan. Rapunzel asked him what was wrong.

"Those two," he mumbled, indicating Hiccup and Merida. "Now that we've made it official between us, they seem even more reluctant to make themselves official!"

Rapunzel let out a snort before leaning into his arm. "Well then, we're just going to have to work harder to get them to make it official."

"Oh, and I have a feeling that our parents and the sheriff are in on it too. I think this whole dinner date was set up by Chief Alvin and Dad to get them closer together."

"Well, shall we help it along?" suggested Rapunzel with a grin.

Jack grinned back. "I like how you think."

"You wouldn't be going out with me if you didn't."

"Touche." Their grins got bigger before they started snickering. They helped along the blatantly obvious budding romance as best as they could during dinner, but as soon as they made their way towards the museum, all bets were off as the mystery took precedence. Kristoff and Elena met them at the front doors of the museum before the group went in to be ready for the tour. The group attempted light conversation, but the same thought kept running through their minds. Would Viggo fall for the trap? Jack and Hiccup noticed right off the bat the police officers stationed inside the museum, but they made no sign of recognition and focused on the tour. The tour itself was the history of opals, where they came from, how they were formed, information like that. Hiccup found it somewhat intriguing, especially the part about how fire opals in particular were typically associated with dragons due to their fiery colors, and the array of colors as well. Before long, they were heading towards the cream of the crop of all opals, the Dragon's Eye. Hiccup shot a glance at the window before they entered the room, the sun was beginning to set. It was going to happen soon. But upon seeing the Dragon Eye, everyone gasped with amazement. It was certainly breathtaking, what with its black streak surrounded by greens, blues, purples, and reds in a fiery blend. Hiccup was quite taken back by it, so much so, that he found himself subconsciously imagining it around Merida's neck, thinking it would look so lovely set against her fiery curls and sky blue eyes.

"There is in fact a legend concerning this particular Opal. It was said that whoever held this Opal in their hands as the sun sets on the day before Yule, that person would rule over every dragon in the world!" stated the guide.

"But dragons aren't real!' scoffed one of the guests.

"That's what you think, but I'm not going to take any chances," quipped a voice. Everyone turned to look for the owner of the voice before Hiccup and Jack glanced up. There was Viggo, being lowered from the ceiling like a spider, and almost as quickly. A woman noticed him and let out a shriek, causing the other guests to enter into a frenzied mayhem to get out of the room.

"Guys, now!" shouted Hiccup as he led the charge towards Viggo. The group rushed forward, shortening the distance rather quickly, but it was Hiccup who reached him first and grabbed a hold of the Opal. The two grappled with each other for the stone as it was flung from their grips. "Jack, the Opal!" shouted Hiccup as he noticed the stone heading in the direction of his brother. Jack quickly caught it as Kristoff rammed into Viggo, sending him and Hiccup tumbling onto the floor. Alarms were blaring by now, and a woman was screaming about the Opal being stolen. Viggo threw off Kristoff and landed a punch squarely in Hiccup's stomach before going after Jack. But by that time, Merida had caught up with him, grabbed his arm, flung him onto the ground hard enough that it knocked the wind out of him, and unclipped the rope, his only escape route by then. The guards and the officers rushed into the room and clapped handcuffs on Viggo.

"Whoa," muttered Kristoff.

"She always amazes me," quipped Hiccup.

Jack scoffed as he returned the Opal to its case. "Yeah, that's the reason why you've never asked her out." Hiccup shot him a glare, but Viggo interrupted it.

"Well, guess you outsmarted me this time, Hiccup. But I will win next time!" he shouted as he was being dragged out the door.

"Considering where you and your gang are going, I very highly doubt that," quipped Alvin as he and North entered the room.

"Good job, all of you!" exclaimed North as he grabbed his boys and pulled them into a great big bear hug.

"Thanks dad!" they chorused.

"That was some quick thinking on your part, Merida. Good job!" stated North as he shook hands with the female detective.

"Thank you Mr. North, I'm just glad I was able to reach him in time, and that it actually worked!"

North let out a chuckle. "Well then, it's a good thing it did, otherwise, we'd have to deal with him outside the museum. And let me tell you, that would not be fun."

"Yeah, his men would have actually known what to do besides run around in a panic," quipped Alvin. The others chuckled.

"Ahem, excuse me, Chief, but, I thought you should see this," interrupted an officer.

"Ah, thank you Simmons," stated Alvin as he took the paper. All three Norths glanced over his shoulder, but it was Mr. North who uttered a shaky gasp. Hiccup and Jack glanced at each other. Was their father afraid of Drago Bludvist? Alvin quickly rolled up the paper. "Well, that's a problem for tomorrow. Tonight, we celebrate!" The gang cheered before following the men out of the museum. But Merida and Rapunzel learned from Jack and Hiccup in whispers what was on the paper in Alvin's hand and knew, another mystery was just around the corner.
