"Wait, Dad, how do you know Race?" Atticus asked.

"Old friend, he helped me into the agency with Cobra." Patrick replied.

"Glad to see you're still on the force and you've finally found your son." Race told him with a small smile on the way to Quest Lab.

"Same here." Patrick smiled back.

"He sure is handsome, Patrick." Race chuckled.

Atticus smiled sheepishly as he shuffled his foot on the way to the lab.

"I see he has Emily's eyes," Race smiled. He soon noticed a difference with Patrick's body. "And you appear to have been working out since we last met each other."

"Oh, you could say that." Patrick smirked before winking to his son.

"I helped!" Atticus beamed before chuckling.

"And I can see that it was a lot of help." Race chuckled.

"Atticus has been on plenty of adventures over the years." Patrick smiled proudly to his son.


Soon enough, they docked at the labs and Jonny helped them in. Tom held Jerry and Peep in the palm of his hand as they were going through an elevator after Jonny scanned his hand against the door.

"Cool." Atticus smiled.

"This will take a small while." Jonny warned.

"No rush," Robyn replied. "I am on vacation."

"I still can't believe this your job now, Timber." Mo's voice was heard.

"Mo?" Atticus asked as he looked around before the doors would open up for them.


Soon enough, the doors opened and Jonny led the way for the others while Hadji walked beside him and where they saw Mo and Timber who looked like they were ready for a mission.

"Mo!" Atticus's eyes widened.

"Timber, it's weird," Mo pouted to her biological brother. "I miss Atticus so much it's almost like I can hear his voice right now."

"That's because I'm right behind you." Atticus said.

Mo's eyes widened and she turned to him before beaming. "Atticus!"

Atticus smiled and soon hugged her. "Man, it was hard when you left school early yesterday."

"Yeah, sorry, but I had to," Mo replied. "If I could've left later, I would've."

Atticus waved. "Hi, Timber."

"Hey, Atticus." Timber smiled back.

"Welcome to Quest Labs," Jonny smiled. "Pretty cool, huh?" he then looked over to Timber Spruce. "Uh, are you my dad's new assistant?"

"Actually, he's the new spy that's helping us out with a certain evil villain problem." Race told Jonny.

"I brought my sister along, I hope that was okay." Timber smiled to Race.

"That's alright." Race said.

"Hi, Dad." Jonny soon spotted a familiar man.

"Jonny," Dr. Quest smiled. "Thank goodness you're all right."

"Benton, old man, hello, there!" Mr. Starling chuckled.

"Starling, is that really you?" Dr. Quest was amazed. "The last I heard you were in Tibet."

"Yeah, I left Tibet to be with my little girl." Mr. Starling smiled.

Robyn smiled back in memory of that.

"Oh, Robyn, nice to see how much you've grown," Dr. Quest smiled to the blonde girl. "Looks like you're gonna grow up to be Jonny's girlfriend."

"Daaad..." Jonny groaned while blushing.

This caused for Robyn to smile and blush.

"Never wander off again," Dr. Quest warned Jonny and Hadji before he hovered down to them. "You know, boys, there are a lot of people who'd like to get to me through you which is why you have to stay close to Race. He's here to protect us."

"And I'm here for both extra protection and to make sure we finally get a certain evil scientist to prison." Timber said.

"Well, we couldn't have handled it without our new team." Jonny smiled to Atticus, Patch, Robyn, Tom, and Jerry.

"These are my pets," Robyn told Dr. Quest. "The cat's name is Tom and the mouse is named Jerry."

"They seem nice, Robyn." Dr. Quest smiled back.

"Thank you, Mr. Quest." Robyn smiled.

"Yes, the five musketeers, or more like the four and a half." Race chuckled.

"Excuse me?" Jerry glared as he was teased for his small size.

"Did you forget about me?" Peep asked.

"Can't say I haven't seen a green mouse before." Race commented about Peep.

"I'm not a mouse." Peep said.

Race chuckled as he didn't believe her at first, not realizing that she was actually a Martian.

"I feel like I know you all from somewhere." Dr. Quest said about Atticus, Patrick, and Patch.

"I believe their names are... Atticus and Patrick Fudo and Patch Pongo." Hadji said as he seemed to think telepathically somehow.

"That's us." Atticus smiled.

Hadji smiled as he was able to do that.

"Hadji's always been the special one." Bandit said to Patch.

"I can tell." Patch smiled.

Bandit smiled back as he knew he was going to have a special bond with Patch since they were both dogs.

"So, who sent these robots?" Robyn asked.

"I'll tell you in a minute," Dr. Quest replied as he took controls. "Stand back, everyone, I'm going to activate the Q Sphere."

"I've heard about it." Timber said.

Mo stood back with the others while Timber helped Dr. Quest with his knowledge. Tom was nervous about this, so he backed up until he was then zapped by the sphere and it fluffed up his fur which made Jerry laugh at him. Patch should have seen that coming. Tom picked up the laughing mouse and soon flung him in the air to make him suffer the same fate. Patch quietly snickered, putting his paw in front of his muzzle, and where as if the fates had made it fair for Tom and Jerry, Patch was also shocked. Peep winced for Patch, but luckily, it didn't hurt.

"Extraordinary," Dr. Quest observed with Timber. "According to the Questonimeter, the Q Sphere has enough power to run a small city indefinitely."

"Whoa." Timber said.

"Sure sounds like you solved the world's energy problems, Dad." Jonny commented.

"Yes, but if someone evil were to get their hands on it, there's no telling the destruction they could cause." Hadji told his foster brother.

"Whoa." Patch said.

"Hadji is right," Timber agreed with the Indian boy. "But we mustn't let fear stand in the way of science or dinner for that matter. Who's hungry?"

"I am," Jonny chuckled. "I can smell it from here."

Dr. Quest soon sniffed and shook his head to his biological son. "That's not dinner."

Everyone looked to see that Jerry was burning Tom's tail with a gas lamp.

"Jerry!" Robyn scolded.

Tom yelled out as his tail was on fire and he took out a bowl filled with a green liquid to put it out.

"Isn't that explosive?" Peep's eyes widened.

"Yep." Atticus nodded as he soon counted back from three as he knew what would happen next.

KABOOM!

Tom was burnt to ash and looked quite miserable while Robyn and Peep sent a scolding look to Jerry.

"Well, I'm not in the mood for barbecue." Jonny attempted to joke.

This seemed to make Robyn to giggle a bit.


Soon enough, the guests were led into the dining hall so they could get something to eat.

"So, who sent those robots?" Robyn repeated her question.

"I'm afraid it's from a threat we call Dr. Zin." Dr. Quest replied as they ate their banquet of food while Tom had a bland saucer of milk, but Patch and Bandit were given thick and juicy steaks.

"Mm..." Patch smiled.

"Aww!" Tom pouted.

Patch looked to Tom and soon cut his steak in half and offered the other half to Tom since he couldn't bring himself to eat it greedily since everyone else had a lot of great food in front of them provided by Race.

"Thanks." Tom smiled at Patch.

Patch smiled back as he then went back to his own steak.

"Does everyone love their food?" Gloriosa appeared.

"Thanks, Glori." Mo smiled to her biological sister.

"Gloriosa's here too?" Atticus asked his girlfriend.

"I thought I'd help with some cooking since Timber is helping Dr. Quest in his lab." Gloriosa replied.

"Do James and Elizabeth know about this?" Patrick asked.

"I told them we'd be having some jobs over Spring Break and I'd love to help them if I could," Mo replied. "I'm not sure if they're ready to know the full story yet."

"That's a relief." Patrick sighed.

"When do you plan on telling your parents about your life?" Atticus asked his girlfriend.

"Maybe graduation?" Mo smiled sheepishly.

"Smart." Patrick said.

"Thank you." Mo smiled to her boyfriend's father.

"I gotta tell you, Race, the pasta is incredible." Mr. Starling smiled.

"Indeed," Dr. Quest agreed. "Where'd you get the recipe?"

"Just a spicy little dish another spicy little dish taught me a long time ago..." Race sighed with a smile as he looked at an old family photograph of him with a young woman and the Quest family. "Mm-hmm..."

"And what was this spicy little dish's name?" Atticus smirked playfully.

"Was she sweet too?" Jonny added with a chuckle.

"Erm... Her name's Jade..." Race answered Atticus's question as he grew nervous at the mention of the girl he had loved very much and soon became lost in conversations. "Uh, Tiramisu, anyone?"

"What's the story with him and Jade?" Patch whispered to Patrick.

"She disappeared a long time ago." Patrick replied.

"That's all?" Patch asked.

"No one knows for sure what happened to her, though for Race's sake, I hope she's not passed." Patrick replied.

"I have the same feeling." Atticus said.

"I owe you guys one." Race said to Mr. Starling, Patrick, and Dr. Quest.

"That's quite all right, Race," Dr. Quest replied. "You've saved us many times."

Robyn soon wiped her mouth as she was full now and feeling a little tired.

"Looks like someone is getting tired." Mr. Starling smiled.

"I think we should get a good night's sleep." Patrick agreed.

"Yeah, and Tom, Jerry, and the others can bunk with us." Jonny added as Tom reached for a leftover chicken drumstick.

"That sounds great." Patch smiled as he stopped Tom.

Tom pouted in defeat. Race put the leftovers in the full fridge which made Tom even hungrier like when he and Jerry came into Aunt Figg's kitchen with Ferdinand the greedy dog.

"Off to bed, everyone." Dr. Quest told the others.

Everyone soon went to bed. After they left the room, Dr. Quest input the four digit code to lock the door for the night, but Tom memorized it so he could raid the fridge later.
