Henry and Ray had no idea that Dr. Minyak and Nurse Cohort were breaking into a school, nor the reason why, so naturally the call they received sent them into a complete panic.

"Captain Man and Kid Danger emergency hotline."

"What is your emergency?"

The call was only audio, so they couldn't see Dya, but they certainly heard her frantic voice. Henry had to ask her to slow down twice before they could understand what she was saying.

"Okay, Dya, listen closely," said Ray once she had told them what was happening. (Well, what the students thought were happening, anyway.) "Well be there in a few minutes, we know the address of the school. I'm gonna hang up the phone, and when I do, call 9-1-1 and tell them exactly what you just told me, and that Captain Man and Kid Danger are coming. Stay where you are, and stay quiet so they don't find you." Ray hit the button to end the call. Nodding to Henry, they both transformed and ran to the tubes.


Meanwhile, Piper had heard about what was happening. One of the students in Saturday school was the older brother of a Man Fan, so naturally the news spread like wildfire.

But Piper had something different on her mind: Captain Man and Kid Danger.

She knew that driving down to the school would be incredibly stupid, though, so she parked a block away and waited.

Sure enough, she spotted the Man Van speeding down the street, followed by some cop cars, a fire truck and an ambulance.

Piper opened her phone to Snapchat. Since Andy still felt the need to video everything, he kept updating.

Not that much was happening.

Dr. Minyak and Nurse Cohort had, after several wrong turns, found a science classroom and were in the process of stealing supplies. The classroom with the students was still absolutely silent, with the exception of a 9-1-1 operator talking to Dya. Ms. Shapen was still asleep.

The Man Van was coming into the parking lot, followed by the emergency vehicles. The sirens scared the heck out of Dr. Minyak and Nurse Cohort.

"Sirens?!" Minyak exclaimed. "All we're doing is stealing school supplies!"

"Well, you did make a giant hole in the wall back there," Nurse Cohort pointed out.

Dr. Minyak knew she had a point, but didn't say so. "Whatever, throw some more stuff into the sack and let's go!"

They proceeded to hastily fill their giant sack with more supplies and bolted.

Captain Man and Kid Danger reaches the spot where the hole had been made. Kid Danger started the climb through it, but Captain Man put a hand on his shoulder.

"Kid, are you sure you're up to this?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?"

Captain Man glanced behind them to make sure no one was within earshot. "Henry," he said in a low voice. "Dya said they have a knife."

"Ray, I can handle it. Come on, we're wasting time!"

Captain Man opened his mouth to protest, but he knew his sidekick was right. They climbed through the hole and followed the muddy footsteps until they were completely gone, and just ran around the school from there.

Eventually, they managed to catch Nurse Cohort near the gym. Captain Man went to find Minyak while Kid Danger stayed behind with some cops to interrogate her.

"Why should I tell you?" Nurse Cohort sneered. "Give me one good reason."

Kid Danger thought for a minute. "I'll let you talk to Captain Man later."

Apparently, that was the right thing to say because she immediately told him what had happened.

"... and then we heard sirens and ran for it. He told me it would be better if we split up."

"Why?"

"I dunno, maybe-" Nurse Cohort cut herself off as an unpleasant thought occurred to her.

"You think he decided to leave you behind?" Kid Danger suggested. Nurse Cohort frowned. She looked a bit like a little kid about to throw a temper tantrum.

After some awkward silence, the cops took Nurse Cohort away and left Kid Danger to go find his boss. He decided, though, to find the kids first.

Although ideally they would be outside, getting the heck away, they were still in the classroom. Some cops were in there, too, talking to a half-asleep Ms. Shapen (Kid Danger mentally groaned and rolled his eyes) while a couple others were talking to the students. He couldn't help but notice Mitch eying Alisha's bottle of nail polish, but dismissed it.

After talking to a couple cops, he left the room to find his boss. Or, more accurately, would have if Captain Man himself hadn't walked in at that exact moment and literally run into him.

The room burst into laughter, but Kid Danger ignored it and instead asked, "Did you find him?"

Captain Man shook his head. "No, it looks like Minyak got away this time. Did you get any info outta Nurse Cohort?"

Kid Danger nodded. "Yeah, told us everything. Also," he lowered his voice, "She seems to think Minyak left her in the dust."

"Ouch."

"Yeah."

At that moment (amazing it hadn't happened sooner), the Saturday school kids ditched the cops to talk to Captain Man and Kid Danger; Andy, in particular, seemed keen on getting a selfie with the superhero and sidekick.

He kind of did succeed; a block away, Piper saw his latest update; it was him grinning at the camera, and you could kinda sorta see Captain Man and Kid Danger were in the background.

There were several other posts about how everything was okay, so Piper decided to drive down to the school.

But as she approached, the numerous emergency vehicles were blocking the way, so she parked again and walked; no one paid very much attention to her, so she didn't have to bother hiding from anyone… yet.

Piper spotted the giant hole in the wall where Dr. Minyak and Nurse Cohort climbed into this school; she moved on and found an open door that was close to the classroom.

Then she started being careful about being seen; she didn't want Henry to scold her for doing something stupid twice in one day. (Assuming, of course, that Henry was actually Kid Danger.) Peeking from the door, she watched and waited.

She wasn't exactly sure what she was waiting for, but something did happen. Mitch had decided it would be fun to pour Alisha's bottle of nail polish on her head ("MY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!") and a first fight broke out; Mitch had forty or fifty pounds on Alisha, but she was fast and managed to jump on him before the cops and Captain Man were pulling them apart.

Kid Danger (who knew fist fights were the reason those two were here in the first place) didn't go help- they had it under control. Instead, he took a few steps back.

Piper, who had been watching the fight instead of her brother, didn't see him back in up until he almost ran into her. She gasped and jumped back.

Hearing the gasp and the sound of feet hitting the floor, Kid Danger tensued up and looked behind him; Piper had managed to duck behind a wall just in time, so he didn't see her. Feeling mildly creeped out, Kid Danger turned back into the classroom.

Piper knew running would look weird, but she couldn't help a slow jog back to her car. Henry (assuming, once again, that she was right about him) had almost seen her, which would have made him suspicious.

That, thought Piper as she drove home, was way to close. And now he's probably suspicious of something, at least.

Piper wasn't sure what to do at this point besides head for home. The only thing she could think of as far as staying positive was Well, I've only been at this for a day. Not even, really. I mean, mysteries usually take a bit longer than that. Maybe tomorrow, on Sunday, I'll get something more…

Piper decided that, for the time being, she was just going to have to stop following Henry places and come up with her own plan- preferably one that didn't involve being around villains or sneaking onto a crime scene.


Well, I've finally managed to figure out how to keep this thing from glitching while I edit the italics. Yay!

PicassoPenguin: Yay, you're back! Thank you so much, for letting me know, but when I went through I couldn't find them (although I did find a couple from other chapters), were they in chapter three, and if they were could you tell me where? Thanks, I really appreciate it. :)

Ciao, and Happy Reading!

P.S., I hid a forth wall joke in there- did anyone catch it?
