Graham was monitoring the construction of an underground tunnel that would connect the island to the mainland. It was a beautiful night out as two trucks exited the tunnel and went up the exit slope. He was focused on his clipboard and didn't hear a rock fall off of one of the trucks due to the headphones he had on.
An unknown individual suddenly showed up on a motorcycle and grabbed his arm.
He gasped, thinking he might be kidnapped.
The person pressed a button on their chest and the rock just passed through them.
"Uh, thanks," Graham said with a laugh. "Um, Cody… is that you playing Rescue Boy again?"
"Graham!" Boulder shouted.
The person drove off when the rest of the team came out of the tunnel.
"What happen?" Chief Burns asked as the person and their vehicle passed through a building.
"I think I was just rescued by a superhero," Graham said.
"Then we should thank them and recruit them," First Aid said.
"That's not how it works, First Aid," Heatwave said. "They need the proper training, they can't just be Iron Man."
Xxx
Cody walked out of the elevator and saw his family and team looking at him.
"Something you want to tell us, son?" Chief asked.
"Seriously? Putting on that suit again?" Kade asked.
"Don't you remember what happened last time?" Dani asked.
"But…" Cody said.
"It was to our knowledge that Rescue Boy hung up his badge," Chase said.
"Because of too much dependence on the technology, remember?" Heatwave asked.
"Technology is dangerous," Blades said. "At least in this town…"
"Where did you even find tech that can phase through solid material?" Graham asked.
Cody just looked at them confused.
"You don't know what we're talking about, do you?" Boulder asked.
"Because you are totally not alone," First Aid said.
"No," Cody said.
"We're sorry, Cody," Chief said. "We just saw someone who looks a whole lot like Rescue Boy."
"And they could phase through solid rock? Noble!"
"I propose we start a full-scale investigation," Chase said. "I'll start immediately."
Dani yawned. "Maybe a small-scale investigation. At least until we finish the train tunnel tomorrow."
"I agree. One more day of digging and we can get back to work on our real jobs," Chief said.
"Yeah, just why is the mayor making us do more work than the actual construction team?" Kade said.
"Easy—to him, the bots are no more than heavy machinery," Graham said.
"Okay, so any idea how we're gonna find out who this superhero is?" Cody asked.
Heatwave let out a sigh. "Sorry, Cody. This 'heavy machinery' needs some idle time before sunrise."
"I can use a nap," First Aid rubbed his optics. "Between my gestalt bond and our normal work, I'm not too tired but…" he gave an ENORMOUS yawn. "Running on fumes."
"I think I pulled a tractor tread," Boulder said.
"All this manual labor has made me actually miss flying. Wait! No, it hasn't," Blades said.
"Cody, might I suggest surveillance in case the superhero shows up again," Chase said.
"Good idea, Chase," Cody said.
"I'll help him," Chroma volunteered.
Xxx
The next morning Cody and K-9 were checking the cameras.
"Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. More nothing. Something? Nope, even more nothing," K-9 said.
Cody changed to the news when he hit the wrong button. He raised the volume.
["I repeat—chugga, chugga, and choo-choo!"] Huxley said. ["All aboard the Griffin Rock Express. This is Huxley Prescott live from the mainland. Behind me, Doc Greene is putting the final additions on his hover train, which will zip on its way through the island. That train may be new, but the tunnel was made half a century ago. Construction was halted 200 feet short of where the Griffin Rock station was to be built. Our town voted to stop construction. Fortunately, we now have a forward-thinking mayor and several high-tech Rescue Bots. And they work for free! The, uh, robots, that is."]
Cody then got a vidcall. It was Deputy Barney. "Hey, Barney, what's up?"
"The lockup's up with Evan and Myles. They were found inside the sealed bank vault when it was opened this morning," Barney said.
"But how did they get in there?" Cody asked as K-9 tilted his head and growled in confusion.
"According to the surveillance footage, they were trying to break in when someone pushed them right through the door…" he showed them the video "… like it wasn't even there. Spooky, I tell you!"
"Whoa! Okay, Barney. I'll let my dad know," Cody reached for the mike. "Dad, the superhero struck again. Foiled a bank robbery this time."
Xxx
"Is anybody hurt?" Chief asked.
"No. and Evan and Myles are in jail," Cody said.
Chief's phone rang. "Good. Fill me in later, Cody. The mayor's calling. Mr. Mayor, let me get topside. The reception's really bad down here."
"Reinforce this area, then we're done," Graham told his siblings.
Kade and Dani used hardening foam cannons on the rock wall.
Kade walked to the hardened foam and knocked on it. "Hard as a rock. Hate to mix this stuff up with my shaving cream."
"Sure would be a lot quieter around the house," Dani said.
"Ha, ha, ha! That happened to my neighbor a couple years back," Ally said.
"Where's First Aid?" Raychel asked.
"Back at the firehouse," Heatwave said as he thought back to that morning.
Xxx
"First Aid, wake up," Heatwave walked into the medic's room. "We have to go to work."
First Aid was snoring heavily.
"First Aid, up!" he grabbed the medic by the underarms and shook him a little. "Wakey, wakey!"
First Aid continued snoring.
"I'm going to count to three and you better wake up. One, two, three!"
Heatwave let go of First Aid, who just collapsed to the ground still asleep.
"What in the?!"
Xxx
"Not 100% sure if he woke up by now. Hard to believe that tunnel goes all the way to the mainland," Heatwave said.
"Which begs the question—why did the town refuse to finance the tunnel's completion 50 years ago?" Chase asked.
"Turned out no one wanted a commuter train," Graham said.
"Yeah, you know who else doesn't? This guy," Kade gestured to himself. "Who needs that many visitors?"
"Seriously, I mean, part of Griffin Rock's charm is that we're kind of off by ourselves," Dani said.
"Though, I do like trains—fast and powerful! Kind of wish I was a train," Boulder said.
"Me, too! Chugga, chugga, choo-choo! That's the noise they make," Blades said. "According to Huxley."
"But, you're limited to your tracks, too," Chroma said.
"I think I'm gonna go home and sleep for a week," Graham said with a yawn.
"Me, too," Dani said.
"Great idea," Kade said.
"Sorry, kids," Chiefs said. "We're heading to the mainland. The mayor expects us on that trains this morning."
The team protested.
"The rescue team should be there just in case. Right?" Chief asked the team.
The humans reluctantly agreed.
"If the train had seating for oversized robots, we'd gladly take your place," Chase said.
"Because we love that—"
"No, we don't!" Chroma cut Blades off as she stretched her back.
"Are you okay?" Blades asked.
"Ah, I'm fine. Just… need a little break."
"Ally, why don't you and Chroma head back to the firehouse?" Chief asked. "You two could use a break."
"Hey, no fair!" Kade said. "How come Ally gets the rest of the day off?!"
"Kade, I still have to go on the train with you, the council, Jackie—"
"Wait, Jackie?" Heatwave cut Ally off.
"But she's got a tummy ache," Blades said.
"And trust me, she's worse with indigestion," Chroma said. "In fact, I think that's why she went dragon in the first place when she got here."
"Oh, yeah. I read that autistics sometimes have digestion issues," Boulder said.
"That explains several things," Chase said.
Xxx
Back at the firehouse, Ally was looking for the mystery hero while Cody was watching the security cameras.
Ally's eyes widened a bit when she saw the figure the team saw last night. They appeared to be patrolling the town.
"Hey, Cody, can you ask some business owners if they've seen our superhero?" she handed Cody the stills she collected.
"Why, the business owners?" Cody asked.
"They may have caught video of them without noticing. I'm going to run some biometrics to see if I can narrow down the suspect pool."
"Okay," Cody went to make the calls.
Xxx
Most of the human half of the team was on the ferry to the mainland.
"I hope you're not too disappointed about missing the ride, son," Chief said.
"I'll catch the train next time, Dad," Cody said.
"And we're busy looking for that superhero," K-9 asked.
"Okay, but be careful. We don't know what we're dealing with there. Be back soon."
Cody and K-9 went to searching the cameras.
"Look who's speeding again," K-9 said when they saw Don speeding… again.
Cody zoomed in. "Uh-oh!"
"Jackie doesn't even text and drive!"
They both tensed up when they thought Don was about to hit the monument of Horace Burns.
The superhero climbed on the stature, pressed a button on their chest, and Don passed through.
"Don't go anywhere!" Cody got up from his chair.
"I wouldn't do that just yet," K-9 said as the emergency line blared.
"Emergency dispatch. Jimmy, where are you trapped? Okay. I'm closest. I'll be right there."
"Uh, not if the superhero gets there first!" K-9 said as the superhero drove off.
Xxx
Cody and K-9 arrived at the junkyard and saw the superhero phase Jimmy out of the old shipping container. The person ran off when they saw K-9 and Cody.
"Hey!" Cody shouted.
The person drove off.
"K-9, go!" Cody ordered.
K-9 activated his transmetal mode, making sure it appeared to come from his vest.
"Jimmy, you okay?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, but who was that?" Jimmy asked.
"I'm about to find out," Cody drove after K-9 and the person.
Cody and K-9 followed them through the maze of the junkyard.
The person phased through a dead-end.
Cody and K-9 tried to hit the brakes, but K-9's back legs started to get ahead of him and Rolling Thunder's brakes failed.
They both screamed.
Xxx
Groove stormed into the navigation station of their ship. "Blades! Why the frag did you change course?!"
"I picked up an Autobot distress signal and Hot Spot told me to change it," Blades said.
"What a load of scrap!"
"No, it's not," Hot Spot said as he entered the room. "What he says is true. We have the capacity for a few more bots."
Groove glared at Blades before leaving.
"Hot Spot, raise your arm," Blades got his first aid kit out.
Hot Spot readjusted his wrist armor. "What are you…" he realized he was leaking a lot of energon. "Scrap."
"You really need to stop doing this," Blades sighed as he patched Hot Spot up.
Xxx
Cody and K-9 screamed as they barreled toward the dead-end.
The superhero phased back through the dead-end, K-9, landed on Rolling Thunder, and they phased through the wall and out of the junkyard.
"Who are you?" Cody asked the hero.
The hero got off Rolling Thunder and let go of K-9. The hero walked to the trike, faced Cody and their helmet retracted to reveal their identity…
"Hey, guys," Frankie said.
"Frankie?!" Both boys' jaws dropped.
"Where did—but how?" Cody asked.
"And why are…?" K-9 trailed.
Frankie looked around. "Uh, not here," Frankie said as she got on the trike. "Meet me at your house. I'll explain everything."
Xxx
"Rescue Girl? What got into you, Frankie?" Heatwave asked.
"Riding around on a super powered bike?" Boulder asked.
"Eavesdropping on emergency calls?" Chase asked.
"Risking your life? Which makes no sense to me," Blades said.
"Primus, I wasn't prepared when I joined the team," First Aid said.
"Well, it's just that you were so busy on the tunnel, I thought I'd help out a bit," Frankie said.
"Okay. That sounds reasonable," Blades said.
"Not if something went wrong," Heatwave said.
"Yeah! What were you thinking Frankie?"
"I was only gonna do the small stuff, but I realized I kinda liked rolling to the rescue," Frankie said.
Chroma knelt down and put a hand on the girls shoulder. "You're not old enough. Having you on the team now would be like recruiting child warriors."
"Why the costume?" Cody asked.
"Uh… I didn't want anyone to recognize me because I sort of borrowed to tech," Frankie took the badge off her suit and handed it to Cody. "It's called a 'Phase Bit'."
"That's what lets you walk through walls?"
"Yeah. But it's really for placing pipes underground without drilling."
"Kinda reminds me of the Phase Shifter," First Aid said as Boulder took the Phase Bit.
"Fascinating," Boulder said. "How does it work?"
"Mm, you'll have to ask my dad," Frankie said. "He built it for a client. I'm not even supposed to know about it."
Heatwave took the tech from Boulder. "Huh. Could come in handy for rescues… like freeing people from burning buildings."
"And avoiding midair collisions! I want one," Blades said.
"Even driving through obstacles during high-speed pursuits," Chase said.
"Or entering cave-ins without digging," Boulder said.
"Or to be a superhero!" Cody said.
The bots just looked at him.
"Don't forget various foreign objects in various areas of the human body," First Aid said.
Now everyone was looking at him.
"What? The twins and I had an interesting week last month," First Aid said.
"Even with high-tech gear, you're untrained, Frankie," Heatwave gave her back the badge. "I can't let you keep going out alone, especially at night."
"Just look at First Aid. He almost killed Chase!" Blades said.
"Mm, I know," Frankie leaned against her trike in defeat.
"You will also inform your father," Chase said.
"As soon as he gets back from the mainland."
"Which should be soon," Cody said. He checked the time. "The train should be pulling out of the station."
"Frankie, do you know what we bots did before we were Rescue Bots?" Chroma asked.
"What?" the human girl asked.
"We had jobs. Jobs that led us to where we are now. Chase and I were both police officers, Heatwave was a lieutenant firefighter, Blades was an RN, and Boulder worked in construction."
"What about First Aid?"
The young medic cringed up a bit. "Ooh, yeah, let's-let's not go there."
"Why did you guys decide to become Rescue Bots?" Cody asked.
"I am incapable of taking a life," Chase said. "My unit was on the trail of a murderer and I had him cornered. He was armed and… I let him get away because I couldn't pull the trigger."
"I needed to get away for a while," Heatwave said. "Family stuff."
"Boulder and I wanted to see more of the universe," Blades said.
"I was an officer when the war broke out, so I worked behind enemy lines before I got assigned as First Aid's bodyguard," Chroma said.
"I just got tired of being cooped up back at Team Prime's base," First Aid said.
"Oh. Heatwave, if you were having family problems, why didn't you talk with them about them?" Frankie asked.
"A-actually, they said that I was the problem," Heatwave said.
"Oh."
"Chase, you let a killer go away?!" Cody exclaimed.
"Cody, I thought I was ready, but… I just—I just couldn't do it. Thankfully, no more lives were lost by him," Chase said.
"They eventually got him, right?" Frankie asked.
"I… read about it during Rescue Bot training."
"How about we all watch the news?" First Aid suggested.
Xxx
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am!" Luskey said to the other passengers. "Well, yes, I can. I've wanted a train since I was a boy! And this combines my other favorite passion—tourism. With a mere 20 minute ride our town will be bursting at the seams with big spenders. And since all of you are no doubt excited to ride the rails as I am…" Luskey went to turn the train on.
"I'm ready to go home! Ugh!" Jackie said as she held her tummy.
"Uh, please continue, Mayor," Lindsy said as she rubbed the teen's back when she put her head on the table.
"All aboard! Next stop, Griffin Rock," the Auto-Conductor said as it activated and took off.
Lindsy gave Jackie a coloring book and pencils, and went to check on the rescue team. "Chief Burns, how come you aren't sleeping?"
"I had some coffee before we boarded," Chief said. "How's Jackie?"
"Let's just say there's a traffic jam. I see they're serving snacks and drinks. Think they have apple juice?"
"Couldn't hurt to check."
The mayor pressed a button on the train's control panel, causing its whistle to blow. "Ha, ha! I've always wanted to do that!"
Jackie threw her empty pencil case at him and crossed her arms.
"Hey!" Luskey readjusted his toupee.
"Jackie!" Lindsy scolded. "Oh, she went a little dragon."
Huxley took a picture of Jackie.
"Did I scare her?" Luskey asked.
"Probably fight or flight," Lindsy said. "Happens sometimes."
"She is NOT like a Titan," T.J. noted.
Huxley saw how fast they were going. "Not exactly an express train, is it?" he walked over to Luskey and shoved a mike in his face. "Mayor, care to explain why the train will be LATE on its inaugural run?"
"Late? Uh, nonsense! Auto-Conductor, when will we reach our destination?" Luskey asked.
"In 41 minutes, 19 seconds," the Auto-Conductor said.
"Ah! Unacceptable! Doctor Greene, what is the meaning of this?!"
"Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid your deadline is to blame. We didn't have enough time to calibrate the high-velocity booster," Doc showed him the train's schematics.
"So what if the booster isn't working perfectly? Anything's better than this snail's pace. Auto-Conductor, give her all she's got!"
"Mayor, that is not wise!"
"Accelerating to full speed," Auto-Conductor said.
The jolt of the train scared everyone.
"Five more minutes," Kade said.
"What time is it?" Dani asked.
"Choo-Choo," Graham sleepily said.
"Anyone hurt?!" the twins immediately asked.
Ally was cursing in Arabic.
Jackie had gone more dragon and got her pencil case.
"Jackie, it's going to be okay," Lindsy walked the transmutate back to her seat. "Luskey, you're an idiot!"
"We're going faster!" Jackie's voice began to change. "It's broken!"
"Auto-Conductor, reduce speed!" Luskey ordered.
"System error. Unable to comply…" the Auto-Conductor broke.
Jackie went more dragon and tried to talk as she put her things back in her backpack.
"Raychel, T.J., I'm going to need you to help me get Jackie to the back of the train," Lindsy said. "That way no one will get hurt if she goes full on dragon."
The twins helped Lindsy with Jackie.
"Doc, can you shut it down?" Chief asked.
"I'll try to manual override," Doc said. He opened the control panel, but it was badly damaged. "Chief, I'm afraid we're on a train that is now a runaway."
Xxx
The bots were around the TV, watching the live news.
["AH! This is not a stunt on my award-winning show 'I Dare Me', check local listings, so get me off of this runaway train!"] Huxley yelled.
"A runaway?!" Cody exclaimed.
"Oh, no!" Frankie gasped.
"But where's it running away to?" Blades asked.
"Unfortunately, not far, since the train will run out of tunnel just after the Griffin Rock station," Chase said.
"Is there any way to divert it?" Heatwave asked.
"Afraid not," Boulder said.
"I'm going to see if Emerald can assist," Chroma said.
"I heard that Optimus stopped a train by grabbing it," First Aid said.
"That doesn't even sound possible," Heatwave said.
"We need to find out what's on the other side of that rock wall," Cody said.
"The Central Database has records of ALL underground channels on the island," Frankie ran to her trike and brought up a holomap. "Here's the train tunnel."
"If we can break through the rock wall, we can buy them some more time. This one will buy them the most," Cody pointed at the longest tunnel.
"Hey, what if I try to phase the rock so the whole train will pass through?"
"I can't even count how many ways that can go wrong," First Aid said.
"We're not risking it, Frankie. We'll do this the old-fashioned way," Heatwave turned to his team. "Let's tool up."
The team got their tools and Energizers and left.
Xxx
"Thanks, Cody," Chief said. "Everyone, the Rescue Bots have been ordered to direct us to another passage way."
"Why am I even here?" Mr. Apler asked.
"Then what? Where does it take us?" Luskey asked.
"That is a temporary solution, Chief!" Huxley said.
"So is hiding under a table, Hux," Ally said.
"Touché."
"Easy, everyone," Chief said. "Doc, can you think of anything to stop the train."
"Like, maybe an emergency brake?" Dani asked.
"Or a component to disconnect," Graham said.
"Or smash!" Kade rather liked his idea. "I can smash something."
"There is a reverse-engine lever in the rear cab where Jackie, Lindsy, and the twins are," Doc said. "It's not meant to be used in motion, but it might slow us down."
"I'll go!" Dani ran to the rear cab.
"As for a component to disconnect, there should be one connected to the power booster underneath a panel in the front cab."
"Graham and I will help you," Chief said.
"So… nothing to smash?" Kade asked.
"Uh, look, go help Dani. That lever could be stuck."
"I am all over it," Kade ran to the back of the train.
Xxx
The bots arrived at the Griffin Rock train station and transformed.
They activated their Energizers before going inside the tunnel and began to take down the wall.
"Graham, we just sent you the tunnel map," Cody said into his comm. "Graham?"
Xxx
The map downloaded onto Graham's tablet. "Got it, Cody."
Doc handed Chief some sort of tech from the train.
"Uh, shouldn't we be slowing down?" Chief asked.
"That's not the booster," Doc said. "It's one of the many pieces I have to remove before reaching the booster."
"Uh, we're coming up on Griffin Rock," Graham said.
"Then I hope the bots are getting the job done," Chief said.
Xxx
The bots were working as fast as they could when they heard the train's whistle.
"Hurry! The train's almost here!" Boulder said.
"And to think I used to like that sound," Blades said.
The bots began to work faster.
Chroma drove up to them and transformed. "I've evacuated the station. Bow, stand back!" she attached a detonator to the wall.
The team got to a safe distance when the detonator went off, breaking a hole in the wall.
They then saw the light of the train.
"Get back!" Boulder shouted.
First Aid got rid of the explosion debris.
The bots hugged the wall as the train passed way too close to them.
"Success," Chase said. "Exactly, what is our plan now?"
"We're hopping on that train and getting those people off," Heatwave said.
"We're hopping on that WHAT?!" Blades exclaimed.
"What about Jackie?" First Aid asked.
"The stress of the situation's caused her transmutate abilities to spike," Chroma said.
"Oh! She can chest-burst out of there!" Blades said.
"We'll handle that when we get there," Heatwave said. "Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue."
The team transformed and followed Heatwave.
"Oh, for a set of wheels," Blades complained as his rotors hit the ceiling.
"Follow my lead," Heatwave said.
The bots kicked it up a gear as they chased the train.
"The train's too fast. We're not catching up!" Frankie said.
"Dad, do you read me?" Cody pressed his comm.
Xxx
"Cody, Cody!" Chief tried his comm.
"A sharp 'S' curve up ahead. Can the auto-steering unit handle it?" Graham asked Doc.
"This auto-steering unit?" Doc asked.
"Guess I'm driving," Chief said.
Xxx
Kade, Dani, Lindsy, and Jackie were flipping the jammed reverse-engine lever with all their might.
"I think it's working!" Dani said as the bots came closer into view.
Jackie gave an unhappy growl as she transmutated faster.
"Guys, we should probably give Jackie some space," Lindsy said as she led the siblings out of the car.
Kade went to pick up Jackie's bag, but Jackie growled and grabbed her bag.
Xxx
"They're slowing!" Heatwave said. "M—"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Chroma shouted.
Dragon Jackie exploded out of the rear car.
"Jackie, help slow down the train!" Boulder shouted.
"Hang on!" Blades transformed, injected Jackie with a phenotype, and transformed again.
Jackie used her now prehensile tail to grab onto the rest of the rear car and dug her claws into the ground.
"Move it, team! Move it!" Heatwave ordered.
The bots drove onto the top of the train.
The train began to speed up again.
"Boulder, break through the roof!" Heatwave said.
Boulder began attempting to break the roof with his shovel.
Xxx
"One more curve," Chief grunted as he steered the train.
"And no more power wrench," Doc said as he held up the broken tool.
"We're out of time anyway, Doc… and tunnel. It dead ends right in front of us."
Xxx
"Is one of the bots trying to break in?!" Huxley asked.
"Maybe I can help them," Ally got out her gun. "Everybody, under the table!"
Everyone got under the tables and Ally began shooting at the ceiling.
Xxx
"This train must be armor plated," Boulder said.
"Then this looks like a job for Rescue Girl!" Frankie said.
"Wait! Hold on!" Chroma went robot voice. "Deputy Ally, cease fire."
Heatwave was worried. "Frankie…"
"Heatwave, even untrained civilians have a right to help out in emergencies if they can," Cody said. "And we need help."
"Besides, this time, I have the WHOLE team watching my back," Frankie said.
"All right, just be careful," Heatwave said.
"Phase on!" Frankie activated her helmet and phased out of Heatwave and into the train.
"Man, that's cool!" Cody said.
Xxx
Everyone nearly lost their minds when someone phased into the car.
The person retracted their helmet, revealing their identity.
"Frankie?" Dani asked.
"You're the superhero?" Kade's eyes widened.
"What on earth are you doing here, Frankie?" Doc asked.
"Rolling to the rescue, Dad," Frankie said.
They then stacked up the trays and Frankie climbed up.
"Everyone hold on and don't let go," Frankie said as she activated the phaser.
The passengers were phased into buckled seat belts.
"Oh, this might not end well for us," Ally said to Chroma.
"Well, we both agree on that," Chroma said.
The bots drove of the train and Jackie followed them. (Remember what Cody said earlier)
Jackie shielded Chroma and Ally when the train crashed.
Xxx
Back at the station, almost everyone was letting the reporters they were okay.
The twins and First Aid took Ally to the hospital to make sure she was okay, Chroma was waiting on the surface for a flatbed, as were Blades and Jackie, who was being given an anti-transmutate IV.
"Thank you, thank you," Luskey said. "Although we didn't arrive at our destination on time, the Griffin Rock Express will ride again… once acceleration issues are worked out. Of course, we wouldn't have arrived at all if not for our fearless rescue team, thought I do wonder when these robot vehicles became so advanced they could operate without drivers."
"They've always been more than heavy machinery, Mr. Mayor," Cody said.
"And I hope we'll be seeing more of you, Rescue Girl."
Frankie gave a small chuckle. "Maybe, but I still need more training before joining the team."
Heatwave gave a subtle nod of approval.
"Care to comment on the exciting new device used in today's rescue, Ms. Greene?" Huxley shoved the mike in her face.
"Sure," Frankie said.
"That technology was commissioned by a new drilling company, and they control all the rights," Doc cut in. "We're not even supposed to discuss it."
"Ooh! Mysterious! Can you divulge the name of this company's owner?" Huxley asked.
"We've never met, but I have no reason to think they're not generous and trust worthy. Can you imagine this technology in the wrong hands?"

After the emergency the team got a well-deserved three days of no emergencies.
