Tyson, the squad, DeFecto and the Chief arrived back at headquarters. In Gadget's office, Tyson and DeFecto put Gadget onto his chair to reboot him.

"So, how do we restart Gadget?" asked DeFecto.

"Let's see," Tyson opened up Gadget's chest.

"Yikes!" gasped DeFecto "What is that?"

"That's Gadget's insides." Tyson explained "Maybe they have something that could reactivate him."

Tyson then turned on her police flashlight to search through Gadget's insides for something that could restart him.

"Have you found something to wake him up?" asked DeFecto.

Tyson then saw a button on the left of Gadget's stomach "Maybe we should press this button."

Tyson then pressed the red button and Gadget started to reactivate.

"Wowsers!" he woke up "What happened? Tyson? Mr. DeFecto?"

"Gadget!" Tyson started kissing Gadget's entire face "Oh thank god you're okay!"

"Tyson?" Gadget put his hands on her shoulders "What happened? What's going on? Where's Claw?"

"Claw got away" she explained "But we saved the Chief and we're back at the station for an important meeting."

"But I made a promise to Mr. DeFecto," said Gadget "I have to bring him back to his family."

"The Chief said it was mandatory." said Tyson.

"Well, I guess I might as well go" Gadget sighed.

"But what about the promise you made to me?" Defecto asked Gadget.

"Don't worry Mr. DeFecto," Gadget assured him "I'll help you as soon as the meeting is over. In the meantime, you stay here."

Just then, the speaker turned on.

"All officers! Report to the conference room immediately!" the Chief shouted over the intercom.

"Come on G," Tyson grabbed Gadget's hand "We'd better get to the meeting."

"Right" said Gadget "Stay here Mr. DeFecto, we'll be back soon."

Gadget and Tyson sat next to each other at the meeting. The Chief was right at the podium.

"Hello everyone" the Chief said plainly.

"Hello Chief Quimby" said all the officers.

"I'm not happy officers," said Chief Quimby "Not happy."

"Why am I not surprised?" Tyson sarcastically thought.

"Are you rolling your eyes Jones?" the Chief pointed to Tyson.

"No Chief, I'm not" she said.

"Very well then," Chief Quimby then pointed to another officer "You! Officer Williams! Ask me why?"

"Why?" asked Officer Williams.

"Be specific Williams" said Chief Quimby.

"Why aren't you happy?" asked Officer Williams.

"All of your incompetence makes me unhappy!" said Chief Quimby "We were this close to capturing Dr. Claw, but you had to miss the chance to get him! You had to let him get away!"

"Sorry Chief Quimby" everyone said in a deadpan way.

"I want Dr. Claw captured and I don't care who does it!" Chief Quimby shouted "Meeting adjourned."

Everyone went back to their offices to get their things and go home.

"That Chief is so ungrateful" Tyson said to Gadget as she put her jacket on "I saved his life, she should be giving me a raise or something."

"Don't let it get to you honey," Gadget assured her "Being an officer of the law and helping those in need is all the reward in need."

"Doesn't surprise me though," said Tyson "Heroes don't get rewards. They just get a lame-o pat on the back."

"Come on Mr. DeFecto" Gadget said to DeFecto "Time to go."

"Of course inspector," said DeFecto.

Gadget, Tyson and DeFecto got into the Gadgetmobile and started to drive off.

"How are we gonna find DeFecto's wife and kid?" Tyson asked Gadget.

"Well, the first thing we can do is find out her name?" Gadget said sarcastically "Mr. DeFecto, what's your wife's name?"

"Her name is Eleanor," said DeFecto "Eleanor Dixon."

"Do you remember where you live?" Gadget asked DeFecto.

"No, I don't." said DeFecto.

"It's a good thing Penny left her computer book in the car." said Tyson.

Tyson picked up Penny's computer book and typed in DeFecto's wife's name and after a few searches, she found something.

"I found DeFecto's wife's address." said Tyson "She lives on 678 Cree Summer Drive."

"Then that's where we are headed." Gadget proclaimed "Gadgetmobile, set coordinates for 678 Cree Summer Drive."

"You got it IG." said the Gadgetmobile.

And with the speed of a Lamborghini, the Gadgetmobile made it's GPS guidance to DeFecto's wife's house.

"I cant believe it," said DeFecto "I'm finally gonna meet my daughter and reunite with my wife."

After over 45 minutes of driving, our heroes finally arrived at DeFecto's wife's house.

"You have reached your destination." said the Gadgetmobile "678 Cree Summer Drive."

"Well, here we are Mr. DeFecto." said Gadget "Now you're on your own. Go up there and see your wife."

"I don't know," DeFecto said "What if she has moved on or remarried? Or if she doesn't want to see me again? I don't think I can take that kind of rejection."

"Listen, we don't know what we can do unless we try" Tyson assured him.

"Okay" DeFecto breathed deeply "Here we go."

DeFecto walked up the front door and rang the doorbell.

"I'm coming" said a beautiful voice from inside.

"Here goes nothing" DeFecto gulped.

He turned around and got a thumbs up from Gadget and Tyson. The door opened and there was a beautiful red haired woman wearing a purple housedress.

"Nick?" she gasped. "Is that really you?"

"Hello Eleanor." he smiled "It's been a long time."

"Too long." Eleanor smiled back.

They both got tears of joy in their eyes and hugged each other.

"I missed you so much, Nick." she whispered.

"I missed you too honey." he whispered back through tears "I promise, I'll never leave you again."

"Mommy?" said a little girl in the house "Who's at the door?"

"Stella!" she said to her daughter "Come and see!"

"Who's at the door?" asked Stella and she saw her father, for the first time.

"Hello, sweetie." he smiled with tears in his eyes. "It's great to finally meet you."

"D-d-d-daddy?" she gasped.

"Yes, sweetie" he said "I'm daddy."

"DADDY!" Stella jumped up and hugged her father "I've got a daddy!"

Gadget and Tyson looked at the happily reunited family with smiles.

Tyson shed a single tear.

"Whoa baby," said the Gadgetmobile "Are you crying?"

"No," she sniffed "I just got something in my eye."

"You're not fooling me Tyson," said Gadget "I've got tears of joy as well. I lived up to my promise, cause I'm a policeman of my word."

"Gadget..." Tyson put her hand on Gadget's shoulder.

"Yes Tyson?" Gadget asked.

"I'm proud of you" she said "Mr. DeFecto can finally live a happy life with his family and with all the joy he'll probably have, he might live longer and forget about the abuse Claw gave him."

"Yep, Nick is where he belongs." Gadget smiled "He's finally with his wife and baby girl."

"And we've gotta get back to our baby girl too." Tyson added.

"Yeah," said Gadget "Let's go home Tyson."

"I just love a happy ending." Gadgetmobile drove into the sunset.

THE END


Author's Note:

And I love a happy ending too Gadgetmobile. Looks like it's the end of another Inspector Gadget episode. Gadget has fulfilled his promise and reunited DeFecto...I mean, Nick with his wife and met his long lost daughter at last. Maybe they'll even give Stella some brothers and sisters, who knows? And it feels great to do something big for someone, especially someone as emotionally scarred as DeFecto. Stay tuned for another story coming soon my friends.

In honor of the touching and tearjerking events of this story, please accept my deepest condolences and sympathy for those in France who have suffered and lost their loved ones. Long live France.
