Back at MAD HQ, Dr. Claw was watching Gadget and Tyson make their way to the ice factory.
"Gadget is headed for the factory," Claw sinisterly smiled "Excellent. We must arrange the welcoming party for him. Or should I say...the farewell party."
"Rrrow." MAD Cat meowed.
Back on the road, Gadget and Tyson had been driving to the ice factory.
"Don't worry Mr. DeFecto," Gadget told DeFecto "We'll be at the ice factory soon."
"And Claw will be behind bars" Tyson added.
"P-p-p-please" DeFecto shivered "You can't let him get anywhere near me. I don't ever want to see his face again."
"We won't let him near you," Gadget told DeFecto "I promise."
"Boy," said the Gadgetmobile "Talk about an abusive worklife."
However back underground in the sewer, two of Claw's minons knew Gadget was passing a factory. One of the agents climbed up the manhole and put a tack on the ground, where the Gadgetmobile was heading.
"Gadget is on his way" said the agent to the other one "I've put the tack on the ground."
"Good" said the second agent "Now to inform the boss."
Back on the surface, Gadget was driving the Gadgetmobile when one of the tires hit the needle.
"Yeeeoowww!" the Gadgetmobile shouted "I think I just rolled on something."
"Wowsers" said Gadget "I think we've got a flat tire"
"Come on G," said Tyson "Let's check."
Gadget and Tyson stopped the car in front of an old factory and went outside of the Gadgetmboile to see the problem.
"Looks like we've got a flat tire" Gadget pulled the tack out of the Gadgetmobile.
"Hey!" said the Gadgetmobile "Watch where you pull, man!"
Then, the tire deflated.
"Looks like we're going to have to replace the tire." said Tyson "I'll wait inside."
Tyson went back into the Gadgetmobile to wait for Gadget.
"All units," she spoke into the police radio "This is Officer Jones, we are running a little behind. We'll be at the ice factory in a couple of minutes."
Just then, the spare tire on the Gadgetmobile fell off.
"Whoa," said the Gadgetmobile "Wheelies are falling."
"Wowsers" said Gadget "I'd better get the tire back. Come Mr. DeFecto. You'll be safe with me."
"I hope so," DeFecto stammered.
Gadget went into the factory with DeFecto handcuffed to his wrist.
"This is where the spare tire rolled into." said Gadget "We should find it and be back on the case in no time."
Meanwhile, Dr. Claw saw the whole thing on his monitor.
"Hmmm." he pressed a key on his monitor's keypad and the image of a MAD Agent on a wrecking ball came up "Gadget is in the building. You know what to do."
"Yes Dr. Claw" said the MAD Agent.
"Yes," Dr. Claw cackled "It'll bring the house down."
The MAD Agent swung the wrecking ball into the building and it crashed right into the building.
"AAAAHHH!" DeFecto screamed.
"A wrecking ball!" Gadget gasped "Go, go gadget legs!"
Gadget's legs sprung up and he dodged the wrecking ball right before it hit him, but he was caught in the wrecking ball's string and flung into the air.
"Go go gadget coat!" he shouted.
Gadget's coat inflated like a balloon and started to float.
"Wowsers" he said "What's going on? What's with that wrecking ball?"
"HEELLLLPPP!" DeFecto screamed from back in the warehouse.
"Oh no!" Gadget gasped "Mr. DeFecto's still in there! I've gotta help him!"
When Gadget was trying to float back to the warehouse, the wrecking ball hit him again.
"HELLLPPPP!" DeFecto shouted.
Unfortunetly, Tyson didn't hear or see anything that was going on. She was listening to some music and the Gadgetmobile was turned off, so she didn't hear DeFecto's cries for help or see what was going on.
Good thing Gadget still heard DeFecto's cries for help.
"Hold on Mr. DeFecto!" he shouted "Go go gadget copter!"
Gadget's copter came right out of his hat and he flew back into the copter and grabbed DeFecto.
"Come on Mr. DeFecto!" said Gadget "We'd better get outta here."
Just then, Gadget saw the missing spare tire on the ground.
"Wowsers" he said "There's the tire we were looking for!"
Gadget put DeFecto in his right arm and extended his other arm to grab the tire. They escaped right before the building collapsed.
Just after putting the spare tire into the Gadgetmobile's wheel and went back into the car.
"Huh?" Tyson took off her headphones "Oh hey G! It took you long enough to put the tire back into the wheel. So, what'd I miss?"
"You don't even wanna know" said Gadget.
"Seriously baby," she said "What happened?"
"Well," said Gadget "To make a long story short, a wrecking ball knocked downt he warehouse when we were looking for the tire and we escaped in the nick of time."
"Please," DeFecto quivered "I can't go back! Please, take me away from here."
"Don't worry Mr. D," said Tyson "We'll get you outta here."
"Go go gadgetmobile!" said Gadget.
Gadget drove the Gadgetmobile back onto the road.
He spoke into the police radio "All units, this is Lt. Gadget. We're back on the road. Repeat back on the road."
"Oh Gadget" Tyson hugged Gadget and kissed his cheek between every word "You're okay. I was so worried. I don't worry what I'd do without you."
"Listen honey," Gadget told his partner/girlfriend "I love getting kissed as much as the next cyborg cop, but I'm concerned about that wrecking ball randomly coming on."
"What do you mean G?" Tyson stopped kissing him.
"Well," Gadget explained "It doesn't seem likely for a wrecking ball to appear without warning. This was probably Claw's doing."
"Well, duh" Tyson said sarcastically "Of course it was Claw. Any moron could see that."
"He obviously sent that wrecking ball there on purpose to kill me and DeFecto" Gadget deduced. "After all, who else wants to kill me and knows practically our every move?"
"Well, there is that RoboGadget guy" said Tyson.
"I knew I wasn't safe," DeFecto quivered "Claw knows where I am. I can't be around you anymore!"
"Boy," said the Gadgetmobile "That guy must really be scared."
"Mr. DeFecto," said Tyson "How long have you been under Dr. Claw's control?"
"Five years" DeFecto started to sob.
"Five years?!" Gadget, Tyson and the Gadgetmobile shouted.
"Yes," said DeFecto "It was awful. I spent years thinking about my family and what they were doing. I missed them so much. I always wondered what my daughter looked like or what she was like or how my wife was coping without me."
"Boy, that's awful" said Gadget "What did Claw threaten to do to them?"
"He threatened to kill them and have me watch," DeFecto started to sob "I had no choice but to surrender myself over to him. Since then, I've suffered Claw's abuse and torture and I've pined for my wife and daughter. I don't even know if I can go back to them."
"Don't worry sir," Gadget put his hand on DeFecto's shoulder "I promise to bring you back home and we will stop Dr. Claw. Soon, you'll meet your beautiful baby girl and be reunited with your wife."
"You really promise?" DeFecto sniffed.
"Yes, I do." Gadget assured him.
"Wow" Tyson smiled at Gadget.
