A couple of days go by. Winter was getting ready for his outing. My phone buzzed quietly in my pocket. I looked to see a reminder that my therapy appointment was in one week. I just stuck my phone back in my pocket. I hugged Winter from behind. "Enjoy your outing today, love. Even if it's just you babysitting Norman."

He turned around to face me. He touched my cheek. "Actually, I want to go out with you later."

"Alright. What do you want to do later?" I asked.

"Can we please hit up that diner place? It's been a while since you and I have gone out."

I nodded. I kissed his forehead. "Your wish is my command."

He smiled. He pulled away from me. "Have a good day at work. Try not to murder Rose."

I chuckled. "Rose hasn't given me a reason to become unglued yet." I watched as Winter left the house.

I had a growing pile of paperwork on my desk when I arrived at the station. I let out a small groan of annoyance. I heard Rose chuckle. "A necessary evil, I'm afraid."

"You have one small fire in PontyPandy and suddenly HQ wants a five page essay on it." I muttered. I grabbed one of the files off the pile.

The morning hours could not have gone slower. I was half-way through dealing with paperwork when I received a text from Winter.

Hey Big Cat. The boys and I are returning to PontyPandy early. (Winter attaches a picture of a bright red flower near the edge of the river) At least I caught this beauty out in the wild.

How is work?

-Winter

Boring as usual. No Crompton Chasing for me I'm afraid. Headquarters wants a five page essay on the fire.

- Malcolm

I set my phone down. I went back to work on writing my report. I finally finished it and stuck it into a folder along with the photos that Rose had selected. I sighed and leaned back in my chair. My phone buzzed quietly on the table. I glanced at it to see another text from Winter. His text had a very panicky tone to it.

Hey Mal. I may of gotten into a spot of bother. What's the likelyhood that someone like me will survive a train crash?

- Winter

A very low chance. Why? Are you okay?

- Malcolm

I just heard Gareth shout that he had no brakes. The train is moving very quickly. Call dad!

- Winter

I paled. I immediately stood up. I called the fire service as I left the station. I drove the bike up to the train station. I sent a text to Winter.

Try to stay calm, Winter. I've notified the fire service. I'm currently waiting at the train station. The Fire Service is on their way. Remember, its' our job to keep the other people calm too.

- Malcolm

I waited for the fire service. I tapped my foot impatiently on the ground. Hopefully we don't have to deal with Flying-Man. I can't take him interfering on another rescue. The sound of sirens caught my attention. I smiled seeing Sam and the others. I ran up to them. "Sam! I'm here to help!"

Sam nodded. "Can you just wait here with the others? We may need someone on standby in case the train collides at the end of the line."

"You got it."

Tom lowered the harness. Sam climbed into it. I watched as him and Penny took off down the line. My heart pounded in my chest. I grabbed the other fire extinguisher that was inside. I really hope that this doesn't result in causalities. I immediately grew worried for Winter. I can't afford to lose him.

Arnold, Ellie, and Elvis all stood close to Bessie's shed. It looked like they were bracing for the worse too. I kept on the other side of the track.

Ellie's radio went off. Everyone is safe but be ready for impact at the end of the line.

I let out a sigh of relief. At least Winter and his family was safe. We waited for the train to come barreling down our way. Hang on team. The Sam-mobile might just safe the day. came Penny's voice through the radio.

I looked at the others. Arnold and Elvis both grinned at me. "The "Sam" what?"

"The Sam-Mobile. It's an upgraded version of Venus." explained Arnold.

"Right..."

We heard the sound of tires screeching. We looked up to see Venus sliding behind the PontyPandy Flyer. Arnold let out a gasp. We braced ourselves. The Flyer was heading right for the buffers. The Flyer gently slowed to a stop. It lightly pressed up against the buffers.

Penny climbed out of Venus. She had a rather smug look on her face as she walked over to us. Ellie grinned. "Good job, Penny."

Arnold chuckled. "Maybe we should name it the "Penny" mobile."

"I'd much rather it be called Venus, thanks." countered Penny.

Sam and Gareth landed right next to Venus. Gareth let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Sam."

"It's no problem, Gareth."

Flying-Man came out from behind the train station. He hovered right in front of us. Ellie put her hands on her hips. "Has anybody noticed that Flying-Man seems to always appear right near emergencies?"

I watched Flying-Man narrow his eyes. He took off in a hurry. Sam turned to Ellie. "Yes. Always. I think we'd better check out what caused this one, eh Malcolm?"

I nodded. I couldn't help but feel as though the emergencies and Flying-Man were connected.

"Before we do, we need to retrieve the passenger car that's still on the line." pointed out Penny.

"Right. Let's take Venus up to the mountain and then tow the passenger car down. The hook on the back of the train was damaged from Flying-Man holding onto it for so long."

Penny nodded. The two of them left in Venus. I put the Fire Extinguisher I was holding back on it's hook. I got on the radio. "Constable Williams to Sergent Ravani."

Go ahead.

"The passengers aboard the PontyPandy Flyer are safe. Penny and Sam are in the process of retrieving them now. I'm heading down to the mountains to investigate what happened once they get back."

Rodger that. Let me know your findings. Out.

Venus came back with the passenger car in tow. They pulled up to the platform. Winter came walking out with the rest of the group. He ran over to me. I caught him in my arms. Winter leaned his head against my neck. I tightened my hold on him. "I'm so glad your okay." I whispered. "I was so worried."

Winter smiled. "Me too. I don't think dying via train explosion was on my list today."

I rested my head on his shoulder for a few more moments. I then let go of him. "I have to head up to the mountains. Are you going to be okay?"

Winter nodded. "I'll be fine. Just be careful when you get up there."

"Always am."

I headed over to where Sam was waiting. He drove us up to the mountains in Venus. I leaned my head against the glass. I could feel myself starting to zone out. Sam seemed to pick up on it. "I really don't like this "Flying-Man" figure." he muttered.

"Neither do I, Sam. I'm starting to think that this is all connected. I mean we've barely just scratched the surface."

"Where do you think he came from, Malcolm?" asked Sam.

"Not sure. I've been asking that very same question since he first arrived."

Sam nodded. He tapped his fingers against the wheel. "If it turns out that he means no harm, then I have a feeling he may just put us out of a job."

A light went off in my head. "You know what, Sam? Winter and I were watching this cave near the cliffs. This female voice kept going on and on about how she needed to test her rescue suit. I don't think we're dealing with an arsonist but with a narcissist. She may be trying to find a way to replace you."

Sam thought for a moment. "That's a very solid observation. I'm no detective but I'll roll with you on that."

We arrived in the mountains. I got out of Venus. We walked over to where the train platform was. I put on a set of gloves. Sam started to do a sweep of the area. I spotted something hanging out of the trash can. I carefully fished it out. I frowned. It looked like a brake block of some sort. "A brake block. Somebody's been tinkering."

Sam knelt in front of a dark purple toolbox. "Odd place to leave a toolbox." he commented. He carefully opened it up. There were tools used to work on trains in there. A small red crab came walking out. "We don't get crabs in the mountains."

"No. You do find them on the beach."

I took out a small q-tip and swabbed the brake block. I then handed the brake block over to Sam. "Make sure Gareth gets this back. I'm going to do one more swab then head out to the beach."

Sam nodded. "Thanks for your help."

I smiled slightly. I swabbed the toolbox. I put each of the q-tips into baggies. "Let's head back to the train station. I've got to drop these samples off with Rose."

Sam drove me back to the train station. I had Winter come back to the police station with me. I handed the new samples I had found over to Rose. "These were from the train platform near the mountains. I found the brake block that belonged to the Flyer in the trash can. We also found a weird toolbox on the ground."

Rose nodded. "Excellent work, PC Malcolm. I'll send these off to Anika. Anything else?"

"We also found a crab that doesn't belong in the mountains as well. I'm heading down to that cave. I think it's time to make an arrest."

"Alright. Good luck. Radio me if you need backup."

I turned to Winter. "Do you want a lift home?"

"If you don't mind."

Winter and I headed out to the garage area. I decided to use the ATV. Winter got on behind me. He buried his face in my backside. I smiled. I drove him back to the house. I waited until he went inside before making my way to the beach.

The beach was surprisingly quiet. I spotted Norman and James examining a sand castle that was randomly placed. I pulled over to talk to them. "You boys haven't seen anyone suspicious have you?" I asked.

Norman and James both looked at each other. Norman gave me a smug look. "My Norman Senses have detected nothing."

James scowled. "They never do."

I sighed. "Okay. Okay. Thanks for your help." I muttered as I drove away. Most days I felt like Norman had a few screws loose.

The front of the cave came into view. Movement behind one of the rocks caught my attention. I frowned. "Hey! You two!" I shouted.

The figures immediately took off running. I revved the engine. I sped off after them. "Two suspects seen on the beach. Going into Hot Pursuit." I radioed.

Rodger that. Do you have a visual on what they look like?

I looked at them. "One of them is a female with dark hair while the other is a short male with a..." I noticed the way he was running. I immediately got a flashback to when Winter and I went shopping. "Really unique run."

Rodger that. Keep a visual on them. I'm on my way.

The figures made a b-line for the forest. The female hopped the fence without too much of an issue. The man stumbled over the top of it before recovering. He continued to chase after the female. "Stop! Police!" I shouted.

I parked the ATV before jumping over the fence after them. The two of them managed to escape my view. I panted softly looking around. I got on the radio. "I've lost sight of them but I'll do a sweep of the area."

10-4, Constable. I'll do a sweep of PontyPandy. Out.

I began walking around the forest. I looked behind every tree in the forest. I heard the bushes rustle again. I glanced up to see the two of them bolting for the fence bordering the forest from the town. I grinned. I gave chase.

The male gasped when he saw me. "Professor Polonium! He's behind us!"

The female growled. She dragged the male by the arm. The two of them took off running again. I stayed right up on them. I chased them through the top half of the town. I watched as they made a b-line for Joe's Garage. "Stop!" I shouted.

The female looked over her shoulder. She smirked. She kicked over one of the rubbish bins. I ended up tripping over it. I grunted as I fell over. I growled. I got back on my feet. The both of them disappeared behind the house.

I gave chase once more only to find them gone completely. I let out an annoyed growl. I leaned against the wall for a moment to catch my breath. PC Malcolm, where were the targets last seen? Over. came Rose's voice.

"I just lost them near Joe Sparke's Garage. I'll grab the ATV and begin my search again. I do have to give them credit. They know how to make a speedy getaway."

For now. I'll keep an eye out for them. Out.

I headed back to the beach. I drove the ATV into town. I searched every alleyway and street corner. I could feel myself getting frustrated. I rounded the corner of Stan Lee street. Two familiar figures caught my attention. I grinned. I flashed my lights. The figures looked at me. Both of them panicked. They began running again.

Rose passed under the bridge. She quickly parked in the center of the street, cutting them off. I parked my ATV behind them. Both figures huddled close together. "Hold on a minute you two. We want to ask you a few questions about Flying-Man."

The female's eyes widened for a second before calming. "Flying-Who? I'm not sure what you are talking about."

I raised my eyebrow at her.

"We've just come to PontyPandy for..a...holiday. Yes. That's it. A holiday." she stammered. She then looked down at the man next to her. "Right?"

"Well...No actually..We came to..."

The female stepped on the man's heel causing him to yelp in pain. "Yes! A holiday! A wonderful sunny holiday!"

"Really? So neither of you use the flight suit that was to steal the-" I got caught off by the sound of screaming.

"What is that?" asked Rose shocked.

Flying-Man came flying through the air suddenly. There was a small bit of washing line attached to his ankle. I felt my jaw drop a little bit. I shook my head in disbelief. "Looks like Flying-Man got caught in a washing line."

"Wait? Isn't that our-" the man got caught off by the female again.

I turned to them. "But if you two are here, and Flying-Man is there. Then who?"

The female held up her hands. "Nothing to do with us I'm afraid, Officer." She smiled innocently at the two of us.

"I'm afraid we're going to have to let them go, PC Malcolm." sighed Rose.

"But the train! The missing Sparksmaster!" I whined.

Rose looked at me sadly. "Looks like we're back to Square One."

The female glanced between the two of us. "Well if it's alright with you two, I think we'll go and enjoy our holiday."

I watched as the two of them walked past Rose's car. I rubbed my chin. "Something just isn't right about those two." I muttered.

Rose placed a hand on my shoulder. "I have the same feelings you do but we don't know if those two are our un-subs. We should wait to see what Anika says."

I nodded. We headed back to the station. I finished doing some more paperwork. I just couldn't shake the feeling of being angry. We were so close but now we were right back where we started again. Rose walked into my office with a cup of tea in hand. She set it down gently on my desk. "Fustrated?" she asked.

"Just a tad. We were just so close."

She smiled apologetically. "Don't worry. Once Anika submits her results, I'm sure we can finally stick a face to a name."

I took a sip of my tea. I leaned back in my chair. She glanced at the clock. "Besides, it's nearly time for you to clock out isn't it?"

I nodded. "I just have one more thing to file then I'll go."

We both heard the Map-Screen chirp suddenly. We both rushed in to see an incoming call from Anika. Rose picked up the call. "Anything?"

I've got some good news. We can finally match a face to a name. I've got some pretty pictures to send you two. The DNA you guys sent me all match each other. The Toolbox was the only one to have two separate DNA signatures.

Anika pulled up two pictures. Our suspects are Professor Polonium and Professor Crompton.

I heard Rose groan angrily once the pictures came up on screen. "The two people we've just let go."

Oh. Damn. Well I'm sure you guys can find them again now that you know what you are dealing with. Best of luck. Anika then hung up the call.

I looked to Rose. I saw how clenched her fists were. She let out a sharp sigh to calm herself. "I want you and Officer Price to patrol the streets tomorrow. I want these guys found and arrested."

"You got it, Sergent."
