But where did Sergei and Leon run off to?
And how was Lori and Bobby's day?
(Somewhere in Royal Woods downtown)
Leon and Sergei have just left Neil's house, and now they're inside Sergei's Chevy suburban, passing by shops and restaurants
"Glad we got outta that mess" said Leon. "Agreed" replied Sergei, who is driving. The whole ride is pretty much boring to them
"Why did we bail on him?" asked Leon "Because what might happen, we could get caught in whatever teenage drama was going to happen there" replied Sergei "Oh, right, right" said Leon
The whole ride becomes boring silence again "You think we should go back?" asked Leon "Yeah, I think we should" replied Sergei
Sergei is about to make a U-turn, until they notice a police car parked at Elm street, there was a woman who looked freaked out and also with them getting answers was Lori/Volcana
"Looks like trouble" said Sergei, Leon looks at what he was looking at "Finally something interesting" replied Leon with relief, Sergei looks at him with confusion "What? I'm bored" replied Leon
They park nearby and get out "Lori" called Sergei, Lori/Volcana turns around to see Neil's two brothers "Hey guys" replied Lori
They stand next to her "So, whats happening?" asked Sergei
"Well, what this lady said she was just walking straight to a nearby ATM until a black van rolled towards her and two pairs of arms came out and tried to grab her bag, she held onto it as long as she could, but she was getting dragged along the street, then she used her pepper spray on whoever was in the van, the person let her go and they drive off, leaving her in shock and terror" explained Lori
"Whoa" said Leon "One black van, and they try to take her purse" said Sergei as well "I guess stealing on foot has gotten old"
They watch as the officer escorts the lady to the police station "I was given the task to track down whoever did this" said Lori as she walks away "You two can tag along if you want"
Leon and Sergei decide to tag along "Why were you given this?" asked Leon
"I was just walking all by myself from the mall, I didn't have a ride with me because both my parents took both vans to their jobs, but we were all okay with it, Then I noticed a woman who looked like she was almost beaten up, she had a few cuts and bruises, so I called 911 and I entered my hero form " said Lori.
"When authorities came and asked the woman what happened they immediately knew it was connected with other cases from across the country, and since I was in the area, they asked if I could put an end to it all, the last attack almost ended in a man's death" Lori finished explaining
"Whoa, all over country? Damn!" said Sergei "did you check the camera's in the area?" asked Leon
"I did, and her story checks out, there was a black van, but there was no license plate" replied Lori
"What?!" said Sergei "This isn't gonna be easy to find" replied Leon "But there might be someone who can help us" they all knew what Leon was talking about
As they head to Sergei's car, Lori powers down to normal, then they all hear a truck horn, they look to see where the noise came from "Bobby?!" said Lori
The Casagrande Mercado truck pulls up and Bobby gets out and hugs Lori "Surprise babe, my Abuelo said I could have the rest of the day off from working at the Mercado" said Bobby "I went to your house earlier to see if you were there, Lynn told me where you might be before she went off somewhere herself"
Lori hugged him back, but then she realized something, Lori broke the hug "Sorry boo-boo bear, as much as I would love to spend the day with you, I have something else to do" said Lori
Bobby knew what she meant, since he sees Leon and Sergei "It's okay babe, I understand" said Bobby
Then Lori gets an idea "how about you tag along, but not when action starts up" suggested Lori, Bobby never got to see his babe in action, especially as Volcana
"Sure, that would be awesome" replied Bobby, Lori then boards into Bobby's truck "This can only spell trouble" said Leon, Sergei just nods in response, they board they're car and drive off, with the teenage couple following them
(FutureTech HQ)
"Whoa! This place is all science and stuff" said Bobby as he looks at all of the holographic images of everything that was ever invented
"Yeah, just try not to touch anything, okay Roberto?" asked Leon "It's okay man, i understand" replied Bobby
They enter the warehouse to find, Victor with multiple scientists trying to chisel out a frozen Martin
"What is going on here?" asked Lori, they all turn to see them, Victor gets up "Keep thawing him out!" said Victor
He approaches the heroes and Bobby "Sorry about that, Martin was trying to make some kind of newly enhanced engine for our Cryocopters, and the results he's frozen in carbonite" said victor
They look at the frozen genius, his pose seemed familiar though, Leon then figured it out "He looks like Han Solo from Star Wars" said Leon, then he laughs a bit
Sergei, Leon, Lori, Bobby, Victor and the employees looked at him "Dude, not funny" said Bobby "Seems funny to me" replied Leon
"Anyway, what brings you guys here to FutureTech? And Why is Bobby Santiago here as well?" asked Victor
"Well we have a case involving a black van" said Lori, Victor was trying to figure out what she was saying, then it hit him "you mean the black van that's been attacking people who are just walking by normally?" asked Victor
"The very one" replied Sergei, Victor was thinking "Well, that would be hard, since there are no license plates at each attack" said Victor
"So, you're not gonna help us?" asked Leon, Victor chuckled "Of course I'll help you guys" said Victor "come on, follow me"
Then Leon tapped his shoulder "Dude, what about Martin?" asked Leon, they all stop and turn to see the Han Solo posed Frozen Martin
"These guys can do it" said Victor "Now let's get to business" said Victor as they follow him
They enter a room with multiple screens "Whoa, what is this?" asked Leon
"This is our surveillance tracking station, we use this as a last resort crime problem, for any missing pieces to assassinations, to tracking down the most wanted" replied Martin "Welcome, to the spiders web"
"I have every recording of every black van incident" Victor shows on every screen was different places in America, this made them gasp, some people were struggling to get their bag, some have let it go and others tried to fight back "Holy hellish!" said Sergei
Victor looked at bobby "why are you here?" asked Victor, they realized they didn't answer him earlier "Well, my Abuelo gave me a day off, so I decided to bring Ronnie Anne and her friend here to hang out with Lincoln and his friends, while I was gonna spend my time with Lori" replied Bobby
"And you're tagging along because?" asked Victor "just go with it man, we don't wanna make this whole ordeal more complicated" Leon whispered to Victor
"Okay then" replied Victor and they all went back to looking at every footage
Each one was as problematic as the others, but Bobby noticed something, he looked at the man who just left the ATM in San Antonio, he looks to another screen and sees a woman who just left the bank in Seattle
Bobby went to each footage, everyone was confused at what bobby was doing "Bobby?" asked Lori, but he didn't respond "Dude?" asked Leon, still nothing, Sergei was about to get Santiago's attention until "I got it!" said Bobby
"Guys, come here" said Bobby, they all went with it and looked at the screen "Now look at that one" said Bobby "And that one" they looked at all of them "I don't get it, what are we looking at?" asked Leon
"Each one has one thing in common" said bobby, Victor looks at all of them again and realizes "each person finishes using the ATM or the Bank before they're being attacked" said Victor
Leon, Sergei and Lori also see it "Bobby, you are a genius!" said Victor "Thanks, and I'm gonna guess, whoever is in the van, targets the people who made a withdraw" said Bobby
"And they attack the people to get the money, or the bank account" said Sergei
Lori then hugged Bobby "You solved it Boo-Boo Bear!" said Lori, Bobby returns the hug "It was nothing babe" replied Bobby
How in the heck did you see this?" asked Sergei "Well, I guess being observant at what people do, want and need in the Mercado actually helps" said Bobby
"So, if we bait them with a rich man and his cash, we can follow them and take them down" said Martin
"Now we have a plan, but who's gonna play the rich person part?" asked Leon, then Bobby steps away from Lori "I'll do it" said Bobby
They all gasp "What? But you'll get hurt" said Lori with a concerned tone, Bobby hugs her and she quickly returns the embrace "Let me do this babe, I wanna help you guys and take these jerks down!" said Bobby
Lori could see the courageous confidence in him "Okay then Boo-Boo Bear" said Lori "I knew you would understand babe" said Bobby
Then Victor turns off all of the screens and looks to Bobby "Let's get you ready kid" said Victor
(Royal Woods Bank)
A man wearing glasses and a grey business suit exits the bank with a satchel, then the black van rolls by and a pair of arms grabs the satchel and drives off immediately
As the black van was out of sight, the man in the suit revealed himself as Bobby, he removes his glasses and smiles "They got the bait!" Bobby says to an ear piece communication "Awesome! We'll take it from here" replied Victor, bobby then heads to his truck
(Abandoned Warehouse outside of Royal Woods)
The Black Van enters the building and stops, more than ten men approach the car, and coming out of the van was a man in a ski mask and the driver "got another one" said the man
The others cheer and whistle for another success, the man in the mask empties the satchel, but instead finds a glowing device "What the?" but before they could all react the device makes a large flashing light
The men all panic to their lack of vision, when the man in the mask regains his vision he grabs a pair of red boots, he looks up to see "V-Volcana?" he says in fear, then Leon and Sergei appear next to her, Lori/Volcana smiles "Don't blink, this will be quick" and she stomps on his face
(Minutes Later)
Bobby's car arrives to the scene, and he parks near multiple squad cars, and coming out of the building were the criminals, badly bruised and a little burnt
Then Lori, Leon and Sergei come out "That was a good fight!" said Sergei "Woohoo! Action mode baby!" cheered Leon, Lori sees Bobby and powers down
The two teens hug each other "I wish you saw me in action Boo-boo bear" said Lori "its okay babe, at least I helped out" replied Bobby
"That you did Santiago" replied Victor, they both broke their hug as Victor approaches them "This wouldn't have been done if you hadn't come along" replied Victor
"Glad I could help" replied Bobby, then Victor's phone vibrates "Martin's thawed out, I should head back now, you guys did great" said Victor before he heads to his car
"Let's celebrate guys!" said Leon "Yeah! And I know just the place" said Lori
(Jean-Juan's French Mex)
Lori and Bobby were sitting on a table by themselves, chatting all they wanted to say, but Lori had to keep the battle of the Multiverse from him
While Leon and Sergei were ordering one of everything on the menu, this was their first time there and they wanted to try all of the French-Mexican mixed dishes, thank goodness they have a lot of cash on them
(Spellman Estate)
Both vehicles park in front of Neil's house, Leon, Sergei, Lori and Bobby head inside, they then hear talking in the kitchen
"Whoa, you guys went to a tropical world and that's where you got you're Pokémon?!" asked Sid, they all nodded "I can't believe you're Buneary is now a Lopunny" said Neil as he closes the oven
"And let's not forget her crush" said Lincoln, they all turn to Absol who is blushing "Please, I don't wanna talk about it" said Absol
"At least you guys dealt with the whole High school situation" said Jordan "And my Gible is a Gabite!" replied Neil
Then Leon, Sergei, Lori and Bobby enter "Hey guys" greeted Leon "Hey Bobby" said Ronnie Anne "Sup little sis" replied Bobby
"Looks like you guys had a good time today, so what happened?" asked Lori "That's a long story" replied Neil and Lincoln
"How about you guys?" asked Jordan "That's a long story too" said Lori and Bobby, then they all shared what happened to them, suddenly they see Luna, Gwen, Sunset and Lily enter with the groceries "Hey fam" greeted Gwen
"Sorry for the long delay dudes" said Luna "You have no idea what we went through" replied Susnet sounding a little exhausted "Try us" they all replied
To be continued …
