The next morning, Leland was still wondering about his dilemma. He needed some advice, and there was only one place to get it. He was probably going to hate himself in the morning for doing this, but it was the only way he saw out of this mess.

Leland left the house early, while his grandfather was still asleep. He'd rather not have told his grandfather where he was going, or what he was doing. He left the house, wearing the coin around his neck. He tucked it into his shirt, and walked off. He reached his destination, and knocked on the door, nervously. A few minutes later, the door opened, and there stood Montgomery. He was a little surprised to see Leland standing on his front stoop, looking nervous.

"Leland, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I've got this problem," Leland said. "I need some advice."

"You need my advice? There's a new one on me. Come on in, what's the problem?"

Leland walked inside, and followed Montgomery to his bedroom. He explained the entire situation from the time he found the coin to when his grandfather told him about the stolen coin collection.

"Let me get this straight," Montgomery said. "You found this strange coin on the way to school and it gave you super powers."

"That's how I got the perfect score on the pop quiz," Leland said. "The coin sort of gave me a super brain."

"And then you decided to become Super Lizard after reading a Super Croc comic book. And you haven't even told Catchum?"

"Yeah. See, he'd either never believe it, or use it himself to cause trouble."

"I can understand why you wouldn't want to tell Catchum. So now that you found out the coin was stolen from the museum, you're afraid to tell your grandfather about it, because you think he'll think you stole it to help with your schoolwork because you heard the legend about it."

"Yeah. What do I do, Montgomery?"

Montgomery thought it over. Only one thing came to mind, and he knew Leland wasn't going to be too crazy about the answer.

"You're going to have to tell your grandfather about this, and give him the coin," he said.

"You don't know my grandfather, Montgomery," Leland said, fiddling around with the string around his neck. "He'll murder me if I tell him about this! He'll never believe me!"

"It can't be that bad."

"Are you kidding? Every time I tell him I failed a test, he yells at me, saying I'll never amount to anything. And he talks about sending me to military school often."

"Well, how about this? I'll go with you and help you out."

"Thanks, Montgomery."

And with that, Montgomery and Leland left Montgomery's house, on their way to Leland's. Leland was extremely nervous about confronting his grandfather about the coin. He kept fiddling with the string around his neck. Montgomery kept glancing over at them as they were walking.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Nervous," Leland said. "I really don't think my grandfather is going to take this too well. He takes his job at the museum extremely seriously. I just don't know what he's going to say, and I don't think I want to know what he's going to do."

"Don't worry about it, Leland. I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think."

"It'll probably be worse."

Montgomery just shrugged. He and Leland continued walking along. As they did, they ran into Zipper, Dotty, Bingo, Woolma, Portia, and Gosalyn who were on their way to the ball field.

"Hey Montgomery," Zipper said. "We were just going to see you. Wanna go play some baseball?"

"What's Leland doing with you?" Gosalyn asked, before Montgomery could answer.

"Well, I've got something to do right now," Montgomery said. "A favor for Leland, actually, so I'll catch up with you guys at the ball field a little later."

"What kind of favor is it?" Dotty asked, a little suspiciously.

"Uhh," Montgomery said, taking a glance a Leland. Leland shook his head rapidly. He didn't want the other members of the gang to know about this.

"Sorry guys." Montgomery said. "I can't tell you. I'll see you guys later."

"Okay, I guess," Zipper said, shrugging. "Come on, guys."

The gang started to head for the ball field, wondering what was up with Montgomery. Leland breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks," he said.

"Sure," Montgomery said. "Come on, let's get going."

Leland nodded, and he and Montgomery continued on their way.

As they were walking, a car came driving along the other side of the street. It was the rats who stole the coin collection. They were still looking for the Krypton coin.

"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, Rocky!" Riley shouted. "We're never gonna find that kid!"

"Keep looking," Rocky said. "If we don't get that coin, the boss is gonna kill us! I don't want to end up sleeping with the fishes!"

"Yeah," Ray agreed. "I get seasick. Hey, look there, you guys. That kid over there's wearing some funny looking thing on his neck!"

Riley practically stomped on the brakes. Rocky pulled out a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. Montgomery and Leland walked by the car just then. Rocky turned to his comrades.

"That's the coin," he said. "Come on. We've gotta follow those two kids."

Riley turned the car around and started following Montgomery and Leland slowly up the street. They were trying to be inconspicuous, but it wasn't working. Both Leland and Montgomery sensed they were being followed. They kept glancing behind them and saw the same car following them.

"I think we're being followed," Leland said.

"So do I," Montgomery said. "Pick up the pace."

Montgomery and Leland started to walk a little faster. Riley kept driving the car forward. Montgomery didn't like the looks of this. But there was no time to panic.

"I have an idea," Montgomery said. "Let's go in the other direction."

Leland nodded. He and Montgomery slowly turned around, and started walking in the opposite direction. Riley groaned.

"Okay," he said. "No more Mr. Nice Rats. Come on, guys, we'll have a better chance catching them on foot."

The rats climbed out of the car, and walked nonchalantly up towards Montgomery and Leland. They didn't want to arouse suspicion. Montgomery glanced over his shoulder and saw them coming.

"Leland," he said.

"Yeah?" Leland asked.

"RUN!"

Leland looked over his shoulder, and saw the rats. He and Montgomery took off like a shot. The rats ran after them.

"Come on!" Montgomery shouted. "We'll go to the ball field. The gang should be there. They can help us!"

"Right!" Leland shouted.

Luckily, Montgomery and Leland were much too fast for the rats. They quickly ran out of breath.

"We'll never catch them this way," Riley said.

"Ray, you go back to the car," Rocky said. "Riley, you and me are gonna catch those kids if it's the last thing we do!"

"Which it might as well will be," Riley said.

Rocky and Riley ran off. They saw Montgomery and Leland heading for the ball field. The rest of the Get Along Gang was in sight, playing baseball. The boys were nearly home free. Unfortunately, Leland wound up tripping on one of his own shoelaces, and fell, knocking right into Montgomery. Both of them crashed to the ground. And if that wasn't bad enough, Rocky and Riley had caught up with them.

"I knew we'd get these brats sooner or later," Rocky said. He grabbed Leland by his suspenders, pulled him up, and yanked the coin right off his neck. Riley grabbed Montgomery's arms, and just held him.

"Finally, we found the Krypton coin," Rocky said.

"Good," Riley said. "I don't think I coulda taken much more of the chase!"

"So since all you wanted was the coin, are you gonna let us go?" Montgomery asked.

"No way, kid," Rocky said, shoving the coin in his pocket. "You two are coming with us, so you won't rat out to the cops! And we'll only give you one warning. Any struggle, any noise, any hysteria whatsoever, and you two are gonna get it!"

Montgomery and Leland gulped. Ray pulled the car up a few moments later. Once they were inside, they drove off. However, they didn't go unnoticed. The rest of the gang had seen the whole thing.

"Did you guys see that?" Portia asked. "What are we going to do?"

"We'd better tell Officer Growler!" Dotty shouted.

"No, we've gotta follow that car!" Gosalyn shouted. "If we go to Officer Growler first, we'll never know where those rats are going!"

"I've got an idea," Zipper said. "Portia, Dotty, and Woolma, you go tell Officer Growler. Bingo, you come with me and Gosalyn, and we'll follow the car. We'll all meet up later."

The gang nodded, and quickly got their wheels together. Then they rolled off.

Dotty, Woolma, and Portia raced to the police station. Officer Growler was talking to Grandpa Lizard about the stolen coin collection from the museum. He was filling out some forms.

"This is completely crazy," Grandpa Lizard grumbled. "The bulk of the collection. The curator is in an uproar about this!"

"I hope those coins were insured," Officer Growler said.

"Of course they were! The curator made everything was insured just in case of an emergency. Haven't had a coin robbery this bad since Sammy the Sneak."

Officer Growler nodded, and just watched Grandpa Lizard fill out the paperwork. The door opened suddenly, and Dotty, Portia, and Woolma ran inside, nearly running over Grandpa Lizard.

"Watch it there, you whippersnappers," he mumbled. "Can't a body fill out papers in peace?"

"Officer Growler, we have to talk to you, it's very important!" Dotty shouted.

"You've got to come quick!" Portia shouted.

"It's an emergency!" Woolma yelled.

"Whoa, whoa, hold it, hold it," Officer Growler said. "All of you, calm down!"

"Just like younguns today," Grandpa Lizard groaned. "Always in a hurry. If you slowed down and took the time to think . . . . . that's the trouble with my grandson."

"All right, Dotty, what's the matter?" Officer Growler asked.

"These two rats chased down Montgomery and Leland right outside the ball field," Dotty said.

"And Leland was wearing a coin thing on his neck," Portia said. "And one of the rats pulled it off, and then a third rat came up in a car, and they got in and drove off, taking Montgomery and Leland with them."

"WHAT?" Grandpa Lizard screeched. "Which way did they go?"

"It looked like they were heading for the Waterfront," Woolma said. "Zipper, Bingo, and Gosalyn were tailing them."

"It was only about five minutes ago," Portia said. "We can still catch them."

"Let's go!" Officer Growler shouted. He headed for his police wagon, with Dotty, Portia, Woolma, and Grandpa Lizard right behind him.

In the meantime, the rats were still driving towards the Waterfront. Riley was going at a normal speed to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I know you don't want to arouse suspicion, Riley, but we're in a hurry here!" Rocky shouted. "Can't you go a little faster?"

"If I go any faster, I'll arouse suspicion!" Riley shouted.

Rocky groaned. This was driving him crazy. He took out the coin, and began to examine it. Then he began to flip it into the air and catching it.

"Well, at least we're not having any hysteria from the kids," he said. "One thing I can't stand is hysterics."

Montgomery and Leland tried to remain calm. It wasn't easy. Montgomery was a little panicked, but he was keeping a cool head. Leland just caught the vibes off Montgomery, and just tried to remain as calm as possible.

"It'll be a lot easier to just do whatever they tell us," Montgomery said. "You don't want to mess with crooks."

"Right," Leland said with a nod. He glanced out the back window, and pulled on Montgomery's sleeve.

"Hey," he said. "Look out there."

Montgomery took a glance, and saw Gosalyn, Zipper, and Bingo rolling down the street. Gosalyn, the fastest skateboarder in St. Canard, and Green Meadow, was following the car down the street, as fast as she could. She had two jump ropes tied around her waist. Zipper was on his roller skates, holding on to one, and Bingo was holding onto the other, on his roller skates. Ray looked out the rearview mirror, and saw the kids. Then he laughed.

"Hey there's three little kids chasing us!" he shouted. Then he waved. "Hi little kids!"

"What?" Rocky shouted, looking out the back window. "Okay, we're being tailed Riley. STEP ON IT!"

Riley slammed his foot on the gas pedal, and took off like a shot. Rocky fell right to the floor of the backseat the minute Riley took off.

"See, that's why your parents always tell you to wear a seatbelt," Montgomery said. Leland nodded. Both of them stifled their laughter. They didn't really want to antagonize Rocky. He looked antagonized enough already.

"They're getting away!" Bingo shouted. "Faster, Gosalyn, faster!"

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Gosalyn shouted. "I wish Dad had let me put a rocket engine on this thing! Hold on, you two!"

Gosalyn practically ground her foot into the ground and gave a huge push off, over and over again. She didn't want to lose the car. Ray and Rocky were watching their every move.

"I don't believe this," Rocky groaned. "Riley, burn rubber!"

Riley slammed on the gas pedal again. It was all the way down to the floor. Gosalyn took a deep breath and shot off, pushing herself as fast as she could possibly go.

"We're gaining on them!" Zipper shouted. "Keep going, Gosalyn!"

Gosalyn kept up the pace. Rocky was starting to get frustrated.

"Riley, we gotta lose those kids," he said.

"Hang on," Riley said, eyeing an alley nearby. "I know just how to do it."

Riley pressed the gas pedal as hard as he could, and jerked the wheel, turning sharply into the alley. The turn was so sharp, the car practically turned on two wheels. Montgomery thought for sure the car was going to flip over. Amazingly it didn't, much to Montgomery's relief. Leland had latched onto Montgomery the minute they turned, and wouldn't let go.

"You can let go now, Leland," Montgomery said.

"Oh," Leland said, letting go. "Sorry."

"Riley, whattaya tryin' ta do?" Rocky yelled. "Give us all heart attacks?"

"Sorry, Rocky," Riley said. "But we lost those kids."

That happened to be true. The car turned so fast, Gosalyn, Zipper, and Bingo hadn't seen it. Gosalyn looked around, a little confused.

"Where'd they go?" she asked.

"Gosalyn, look out!" Bingo shouted.

"What?" Gosalyn asked. Then she realized what Bingo meant. She ended up crashing into a pile of trash cans. Zipper and Bingo crashed into them along with her.

"Oh no!" Zipper shouted. "We lost them!"

"What do we do now?" Gosalyn asked.

Luckily, Gosalyn's question was about to get answered. It was at that moment that Officer Growler pulled up to the kids in his police wagon.

"Glad we caught up with you guys," Dotty said as Bingo, Zipper, and Gosalyn climbed into the wagon. "Which way did they go?"

"We lost 'em," Gosalyn said.

"Oh disaster!" Woolma wailed. "Poor Montgomery! We'll never find him now!"

"We only lost them a few minutes ago," Bingo said. "Maybe we can still find them."

"Yeah, but I gotta make a quick phone call first," Gosalyn said. "Anybody got any change?"

Zipper handed Gosalyn the money, and she skateboarded off to a nearby pay phone. She put the coin into the phone and dialed the number.

"Mallard residence," Drake said, after he picked up.

"Dad, it's me," Gosalyn said. "We've got a problem and we need Darkwing Duck."

"What happened to this Super Lizard?" Drake asked.

"I don't know. I don't have the slightest idea how to get in touch with him! Can't you go back to crime fighting just this once? My friend Montgomery's in trouble! Look, I don't have time to go into the details right now! Officer Growler is waiting for me in the police car, and we're going after the crooks. I'll see you later, Dad! Bye!"

"Gosalyn, you . . . ."

The line went dead before Drake had a chance to finish that sentence. Then he put the phone back on the hook.

"She's chasing down criminals again," he said. "And if she's doing that, then that means . . . . . this is a job for Darkwing Duck! Now, where did I put that costume?"

And with that, Drake ran off to dig his Darkwing Duck outfit out of the attic.
