Summary: The Saturdays are sent to a town to investigate some black wolf sightings. They meet Zak, a kid who roams the forest next to the town. But Zak is the black wolf and also has Cryptid powers; can the young hybrid keep his secrets safe? Especially after Argost seems to know that he's hiding something. And on top of all that the Saturdays and the Secret Scientists are starting to get a little suspicious.

"Well that went well." Doyle deadpanned.
Zak was long gone, and they all knew it.
"How are we going to get him to come with us? He's a walking target for Argost!" Drew said.
"I don't know, but we need to figure something out. Argost could strike at any moment. Let's go back to the airship. He's not coming back to talk to us anytime soon." Doc sighed.

Not long after the family arrived back at their airship, the Secret Scientists called to see if they had captured the wolf yet.
"Well…. No. We haven't yet." Drew continued. "But we did find something, or should I say, someone else."
She explained the situation about Zak. The other scientists were surprised to hear that the Saturdays had managed to stumble upon possibly the one thing that could stop Kur. And said thing was an eleven year old kid.
"And now he's a walking target for Argost." She finished.
"That is a big problem." Dr. Paul Cheecho said.
"He says his parents are on vacation." Drew said, unconvinced.
"And they just left him there?" Dr. Miranda Grey speculated.
"That was what we said too. He said yes, then he said no, then he said he wouldn't tell us anything."
Fiskerton took this moment to announce his observations. "When the mention of his parents came up, he had this sad look on his face for a moment…."
"I think it's obvious that they're not around." Doc said.
"Think they left him?" Doyle asked.
"I don't know, Doyle, I just don't know." Drew sighed.
~ Zak's Cave - That Night ~
'This is so confusing! What should I do?' Zak thought. 'It feels like my life is suddenly spinning out of control…'
Zak looked at his beloved anklet thing around his ankle that his parents had given him before – no, he didn't want to think about that.
'I wish you guys were here.' He thought sadly. He felt tears springing to his eyes as he rubbed his hand over each bead, they were all different in some way.
He remembered when his parents told him that no matter what he did, the bracelet thing would never break. Perfect for him, they had said. He, naturally, got into a lot of trouble when he was younger. Ah… Some things never change.
There were two black beads, one with a Z on it and one with a B on it. The first white bead had a Z on it, the second one had an A. There was one light blue bead, this had an A on it. There was a dark brown bead with a B, an orange bead with a Z, and finally a bead with all of those colors and no letter, but it did have a wolf howling on it. The orange bead was the color of Zak's Cryptid powers, he liked to call this color Cryptid Orange.
Zak desperately wished for his parents' advice. They came to see him sometimes, using their powers as DreamWalkers. But they were only able to come see him in his dreams very rarely, usually when he had a problem and desperately needed advice, like this time.
Since both his parents were DreamWalkers, Zak was to. This enabled him to – as the name suggests – walk in other creatures dreams.
Zak lay down, waiting for sleep to come, hopping that his parents would come to give him advice.
