Captain Caveman and son landed right at the First National Bank of Bedrock, where the robbery was taking place.
"Here we are, son" said Cavey "The bank"
"That's good to know, dad" said Junior "This is probably the work of our arch-nemesis, Mr. Bad!"
"Then there is no time to waste!" Cavey proclaimed "Let's go inside!"
The two walked into the bank and saw it was like a frozen wasteland in there. Everybody was frozen solid.
The two heroes looked around before hearing a crash coming from the safe.
"Yikes!" Junior exclaimed "What was that?!"
"We about to find out." Cavey said. "Let's go!"
The two caveman crime fighters carefully walked across the ice and noticed there were some footprints.
"I think I see some footprints" Junior squinted his eyes "Dad! Look for something in your fur we can use"
"Sure thing, son" said Cavey.
Cavey reached into his fur and then grabbed a club.
The club opened up to reveal a special laser light provided by the pink bird, which was holding up a jar of special fireflies. The footprints started to glow a strange yellow neon color.
"Look dad, the footprints are glowing" said Junior "And it looks like there's more leading out the bank"
"Good thinking son" said Cavey "Now we must fly and follow them before it too late!"
"Right dad" Cavey Jr exclaimed.
The two heroes flew out and followed the footprints.
They lead right to a snowy mountain outside of town.
"This must be where the footprints are leading to" said Junior "Come on dad, let's bring this fiend to justice!"
"Right." Cavey nodded. "Let's go!"
The two followed the tracks into a cave, where they saw some sort of glowing light.
"This must be his hideout." Cavey said to his son. "Be very quiet."
"Right, Dad." Junior nodded as he followed his father further down the cave.
It was then, they saw the perp, gloating over the stolen clams.
"Freeze slimeball!" Cavey exclaimed.
The perp turned and looked, revealing Mr. Bad.
"Ah, Captain Caveman." The villain grinned. "I was expecting that you would show up sooner or later."
"Me onto you, Mr. Bad" said Cavey "Hand over those clams or else!"
The villain laughed. "That's got to be the craziest thing I ever heard in me life."
"We see about that!" Cavey beat his club into his palm "Come on, son! Let's get him"
"You got it, dad!" Junior exclaimed.
The crime fighting prehistoric duo then charged right towards their adversary.
Mr. Bad quickly made his move as he launched his counter attack.
He took out his super weapon; a freeze gun and fired it right at our heroes.
"Duck!" Cavey shouted, and the two heroes split just in time as the ray flashed by.
Just then, the freeze ray created some icicles that pointed right out of the frozen wall.
"Let's get him, dad!" said Junior.
"Right son!" Cavey exclaimed.
The two cavemen slid right on the ice and Cavey managed to knock the freeze ray out of Mr. Bad's hands and it landed into Junior's hands.
"Wrap him up dad!" Junior exclaimed.
"Right son" Cavey pointed his club right at Mr. Bad, which made the cave bird fly right out, carrying a vine in his beak, which tied up the crook.
"Thanks Cave Bird" said Junior.
"Curses!" Mr. Bad exclaimed. "Foiled again!"
A short while later, the police arrived to take Mr. Bad into custody.
"Curse you, Captain Caveman!" Mr. Bad shouted as he was escorted to the wagon. "This is the last time you and your trouble-making brat meddle with my schemes!"
"And hopefully this'll be the last time you mess with the citizens of Bedrock" said Cavey "Cause Junior and I will be there"
Mr. Bad didn't say a work as he was loaded onto the wagon before it drove off.
"Thank goodness for you, Captain Caveman and Son" said the chief of police "Its great to have people like you two around"
"No problem, chief" said Cavey "Just doing job"
Cavey then raised his club and the two heroes took off.
They headed over to the Flintstone's residence, where they quickly changed into their Chester and Son outfits.
"Another caper solved" said Junior.
"Indeed" Cavey said as he adjusted his bow tie and then rang the doorbell.
A few moments went by before Fred opened the door.
"Ah, hiya Chester." Fred greeted the duo. "And hello, Junior."
"Unga, hello Fred" Cavey greeted Fred.
"Hello Mr. Flinstone" Junior greeted Fred "Are Pebbles and Bamm Bamm home?"
"Sure" said Fred "They're over there, playing with the pets"
"Awesome!" Junior smiled as he rushed into the house.
Wilma then walked over to Chester "Chester. Great to see you. Come inside, we're about have some bronto steaks and cactus soup"
"Oh, goody!" Chester licked his lips. "Me hungry!"
He walked to the dining room and started eating the big steak and cactus soup that was on his spot of the table.
"Someone sure is hungry." Fred remarked as they watched Cavey eat.
"You can relate, huh Fred?" Barney chuckled.
"Oh that reminds me" Wilma said as she got a small plate of steaks from the kitchen "Betty, bring this plate of snacks to the kids, they must be hungry too"
"Sure thing, Wilma" said Betty.
Betty then carried the plate out of the kitchen and into the living room, where the kids were playing with the pets.
Pebbles giggled as she rolled a ball towards Dino, Bamm Bamm cheered as he bounced on top of Hoppy and Junior was laying down on the cat.
"Okay, children." Betty said. "Snack is here!"
"Oh boy!" Junior exclaimed. "Steaks!"
"Bark! Bark! Bark" Dino cheerfully exclaimed.
"Now that's something to sink my sabers into" the cat remarked.
"Honk, honk" said Hoppy.
The kids walked (or in Pebbles' case, crawled) over to Betty, who handed them the plate of steaks.
"Bamm! Bamm" Bamm Bamm happily bashed his
"Thank you, Mrs. Rubble" said Junior.
"You're welcome kids" said Betty as she walked back to the adults.
As Betty returned to the adults, Cavey just finished his steak meal.
"Boy" said Betty "You men sure ate like you were starving"
"Of course we are starving, Betty" Fred said as he kept cleaning a bone.
"Anyways, I was just going to tell you about what kind of story we got for the Daily Granite today" said Wilma.
"Another Captain Caveman story?" asked Barney.
Nov 21"No, it's something else." Wilma replied. "Mr. Jamestone sent us for this interesting assignment that could turn the city upside down."
"What is it?" Cavey asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, what is it?" asked Fred "What could possibly be more awesome than a boring old story about Captain Caveman?"
Wilma and Betty smiled and finally replied.
"It's the mayor's re-election campaign." Wilma replied.
"What of it?" Cavey asked.
"Yeah" said Fred "Is he finally gonna lower the price for meat?"
"No, not that." Betty shook her head. "It's something scandalous."
"What is it that could be scandalous?" Barney asked.
"This me gotta hear" Cavey remarked.
Wilma and Betty looked at each other and finally decided to reply.
"It's his connection to Mr. Bad's bank robberies." Wilma stated.
"Great boulders of stone!" Barney exclaimed "You don't think he might've had something to do with it?"
"Of course he did, Barney" said Fred "I always knew there was something I didn't like about that prehistoric creep and I think I know figured it out! He's hired Mr. Bad to steal all the clams from every bank and keep it for himself! That rotten Cliff Vandercave!"
"At least he's not stealing your Cocoa Pebbles, that's my job" Barney remarked.
"But anyways, once this gets printed out, Bedrock will sure turn upside down." Fred said.
"Yeah" said Wilma "We're gonna need a lot of large slabs to write that on"
"I still wish people would invent something to write on that isn't so heavy or four dimensional" Betty remarked."Yeah." Cavey agreed.
"There's also something I heard about from Professor RockFlint about something he's invented called 'cryogenic freezing'" Betty added "I don't know what it means, but it sounds interesting"
"It sure does." Barney nodded in agreement.
"He said that it preserves a living body and freezes it for several years and then they are thawed out to see what the world is like" said Wilma "That way, the frozen person can live for more years"
"That sounds Yabba Dabba Dapper" Fred remarked.
Cavey nodded before taking a look at the nearby clock.
"Unga, look at time" said Cavey "It late! Junior's bedtime in an hour! Sorry, but we have to go"
"Okay Chester" said Wilma "Bye"
"Night everyone" Cavey walked over to the kids and pets.
"Alright, Junior." Cavey said as he picked his son up. "It's time to go home."
"But I wanna stay!" Junior whined.
"Sorry, Junior." Cavey replied. "Bedtime in an hour."
"Yes daddy" Junior sighed "Sorry guys, I gotta go home"
"Okay I love you, bye bye" Pebbles said as she kissed Junior, which earned a glare from Bamm-Bamm.
"Bye, guys." Junior nodded before he and his father left the house.
Soon, Cavey was tucking his son into bed.
"Sleep tight, son" said Cavey "We have big day of crime fighting and patrol to do tomorrow"
"I sure will, dad" said Junior "I hope Mr. Bad doesn't escape and wreck more havoc"
"No worries son" said Cavey "If he does, we'll be right there"
"That's good to know" said Junior, looking a bit sad.
"Something wrong, son?" asked Cavey "You look sad. What wrong?"
"Dad, I'm curious about something" said Junior.
"What is it?" asked Cavey.
"Who's my momma?" asked Junior.
Cavey sighed and wasn't sure how to respond.
"Daddy?" Junior looked at his father "Who's my momma?"
Cavey pondered his lips before replying.
He gulped "Son...me don't know how to tell you this but...your mother...your mother...she...she...left"
"Left?" asked Junior "Where'd she go? Will she be coming back?"
"Me honestly don't know." Cavey shrugged.
"Why'd she leave?" asked Junior "Why have I never met her?"
Cavey started at his son with a sad face and decided to reply, but it was gonna be hard to spit it out.
"I...I really don't know." Cavey said sadly.
"Oh" Junior sadly said "Well...goodnight dad"
"Um, sure" Cavey said as he walked out of Junior's room.
Cavey put on his sleeping hat and climbed into bed, feeling sad for his son.
