A couple of days later, Nick and the others were all at work. Nick also found out that Xander was in charge of the bank drop—Nick figured it would have been better to just take the money to the bank now rather than wait.
As they worked, Vida and Madison invited Nick to listen to a new CD. Then Koragg entered his thoughts. No one wants you, Red Ranger. They don't trust you.
Nick asked if anyone else had heard it—and they all wondered if he was crazy. He went outside and began unloading the truck in silence. Leelee again attempted to get Nick's attention and he once again ignored her, much to her displeasure. She then plotted to ensure that Nick lost his job.
When Koragg challenged the teen to a fight—right after an argument with the other rangers—Nick was nearly destroyed, until the rest of the team arrived. Koragg then stole their combining power and Nick vowed to get it back—somehow.
They returned to the Rock Porium and Xander apologized again. "Look, Nick, we're sorry. We jumped to conclusions and didn't let you explain," he apologized.
"We're done jumping to conclusions," Madison added.
"It was Xander's fault," Chip added—again.
Nick grinned and said, "Look, I'm sorry, too. I should have come to you guys as soon as I heard Koragg's voice."
They nodded and Xander asked, "No more secrets?"
"No more secrets," the group agreed.
"So, guys, wanna help me with a little project?" Nick asked, pulling out a video camera.
"Sure," Xander agreed.
"Since when did you make movies?" Madison asked.
"Not movies, Maddie, video diaries," Nick replied. "To help my baby sister, Charlotte, or "Charlie" as we all call her, survive the craziness of life—and the craziness of being a Duncan."
The others grinned and nodded in agreement.
Nick flipped on his camera.
"Hey Charlie. It's your big brother, Nick. And these are my friends, Chip Thorn, resident superhero-in-training, Xander Bly, our "supervisor", Vida—V—Rocca, resident DJ, and Madison—Maddie—Rocca, future famous movie director…" Nick began.
Madison stared at Nick and asked, "Do you really think I'll become a famous movie director?"
Nick stared at Madison and replied, "Yes, and I'm expecting an invitation to your first professional movie."
The others laughed and Madison said, "We all learned something today, right, guys?"
The others all nodded and Xander said, "Don't jump to conclusions—you'll regret it."
Nick grinned and said, "You heard Xander. Jumping to conclusions never ends well—unless you're absolutely sure that you have all the proof necessary to prove you're right. Say, what did happen to the money, anyway?"
"Leelee hid it—in attempt to frame you for stealing it," Chip replied.
"Figures," Nick muttered.
Vida then added, "Just don't immediately jump to conclusions. Follow your own instincts about what you think happened."
Nick then finished up the video, saying, "So, there you have it, Charlie. Jumping to conclusions is bad, very bad. And if you ever jump to conclusions, before you get all the necessary information, well, good luck, Charlie."
Nick flipped the camera off and then said, "I'll add it to the other entries later."
"What was with the ending?" Vida asked, unable to stand her curiosity.
"Let's just say the Duncan family is—special," Nick replied. "And Charlie will need all the help she can get to survive."
The others nodded and Madison said, "I'd love to stay around and visit longer, but we have work."
Vida groaned good-naturedly and said, "Ugh! Work!"
The others all ran inside and Nick pulled out his old baby blanket. "No more secrets," he vowed, unfurling it a little, holding it to his chest.
