Later in the night, Ice Bear took Grizz, Panda, Isaac and Chloe to the destination he usually goes during nighttime. Unlike him and Isaac, Grizz, Panda, and Chloe were too tired, planning to go to sleep. They never bothered Ice Bear's daily nights out, but they were never those types. When they tried to follow him, they couldn't keep up with Ice Bear riding on Roomba.
"Icy B." Grizz yarned. "I appreciate you getting your closest friend to come along, but is it really necessary to do it this late?"
Ice Bear turned around while maintaining his balance on Roomba. "Yes." He responded.
"I have to go to bed, Ice Bear." Chloe trying to keep her eyes open. "I also need to work out my problem of heading to Canada too."
"We still have time, but can we not do this at night?" Panda added.
Ice Bear and his group entered the hidden ally only he went to from time to time. He got off Roomba as he knocked on the door but no one responded like last time. He expected the bouncer to answer but after ten seconds, it felt like he wasn't by the door.
"Hm!" Ice Bear reacted.
"Isaac senses no one's taking the job as bouncer." Isaac commented.
Ice Bear looked at the door while eavesdropping on it. He didn't hear everything from the other side, as if no one's inside. Then he decided to push the door as it opened, learning it was unlocked the whole time. They all entered inside with all the lights off. Ice Bear clapped twice to have Roomba turn on its flashlight capability.
"I don't think anyone's here." Chloe looked around.
"Are those computers?" Panda pointed.
"And a coffee bar?" Grizz added.
Ice Bear went to the electric switches, turned off when the employees usually keep them on. He turned them on as the red leon lights of the word Coffee lit up. The green lights turned on around the bar, while the computers slowly turned on, taking everyone by surprise.
"So what is the person you wanted us to meet?" Grizz asked.
"Yana." He responded.
"Who's Yana?" Panda asked.
Ice Bear then opened the necklace, showing his bros and friends the picture of her and their parents. He pointed at her underneath, her father as they looked at her closely. "How old is that picture?" Chloe asked.
"Twenty years old." Ice Bear answered.
"Really? How do you know what she looks like now?"
Then they heard the door being pushed open, taking their attention and so did Ice Bear as he closed the necklace. When she saw Ice Bear in person, she wasn't fazed at all, especially his group with two bears. "Ice Bear never forgets human faces."
Isaac took notice from the lady with purple highlights in her black hair with a tattoo on her arm. When she walked up to the group, she looked down at Chloe, taking her by surprise. "You must be Yana right?" She backed away a little.
"You catch on quick from him, huh?" Yana smirked.
Ice Bear then walked up to her while handing her the necklace. "Ice Bear kept personal belongings."
"You had my necklace this whole time?" She took her necklace from him. "I thought I lost it." She opened it, and witnessed her photo of two parents.
"Wow, an undercover dude." Grizz commented. "That's an interesting friend you have, Icy B."
Ice Bear didn't want to retort to his brother, but he knew he won't get the real truth from what his night outs are like. "Ice Bear, brothers, and friends are going to Canada. Ice Bear wants to know if you want to come." He offered.
"Canada?" Yana responded. "Seems an odd place to go after the many places we went."
"You went to different places?" Chloe took notice.
"Yes. Places all over the globe, Tokyo, just to name one of them."
"Tokyo!?" Panda reacted. "Why didn't you tell us Ice Bear!?"
"Okay, let's not get over our heads." Grizz pulling Panda away. "But still, you didn't tell us about this?"
"Ice Bear wants to be a solo adventurer." Ice Bear responded.
"Isaac was overthrown by a world traveling bear." Issac replied.
Yana laughed from Ice Bear's bros. "I have to say your bros are kind of funny. Not to mention your friend there seems to qualify for missions." She stared at Isaac. "As for your offer, I'll take it. Besides from how our troubles got last time, it's better to go somewhere that isn't a deathtrap."
This caused Ice Bear to place his paws on his face, causing his brothers to take notice. "On second thought, it's better if you never told us what you've been doing over night." Panda awkwardly grinned.
"Why is this coffee place closed with the door unlocked?" Grizz asked.
"I had to quit my job and the people who used to work here abandoned this place due to…Barry finding out where I work." Yana sighed. "Granted I wish he and his goons would leave me alone, but I knew it would just get uglier."
"Just hearing the name Barry is someone I really don't want to meet, just like how I met Agent Trout." Chloe commented which caused Yana to lean down.
"I've heard of him and I saw Ice Bear on TV when I was at a bar. Haven't heard of him since you came back." She looked up at Ice Bear while back at Chloe. "If you saw me and him together, we would make an unstoppable team."
Chloe looked back to Ice Bear, from time to time, they've done so much together but when it comes to missions, she looked at Roomba. She wished she experienced what Ice Bear accomplished, but living on the verge of danger is the last thing she wanted. But her attention was turned to Yana's necklace, remembering her parents. "Do you remember the last time you met your parents?"
"Not much, life was different when I was with them and it changed when I came here."
"It's sad that your mom and dad aren't gonna be in Canada." Grizz spoked. "I believe it would make your time there."
"It's not like I was expecting more. If there's a will there's a way of getting away from Barry."
When Ice Bear looked at Roomba, he planned on bringing it along, but was having second thoughts. If Barry is still in San Francisco, he could find his home and rob it. But if he does bring it, he could encounter him with him being a step ahead of him. However with Yana by his side, she's right about him and her being an unstoppable team. And with Isaac by his side, he has no problem telling him everything.
"Ice Bear makes sure our trip is harm free." He responded.
"I'll pack up and I'll come when you're ready." Yana smiled. Just when she's about to head out, she turned around. "By the way, I found your little kid my favorite." As she headed out, it caused Chloe to smile a bit.
"Looks like I'm gonna be making a friend in Canada." Chloe replied. "If I can still resolve to go to Canada."
"We're still working it out." Grizz looked at Chloe. "Do you need to convince your college principals your trip to Canada is important?"
"They wanted me to do research in Canada, but I turned it down. Too much work for me to handle nor have fun."
"You could write a story about your experiences in Canada."
"Yeah, it's still an adventure and it's also your adventure." Panda added.
"Ice Bear's happy to read Chloe's Canada adventure." Ice Bear replied.
"Okay, I'll tell them that." Chloe smiled. "That's something I would have fun to do."
"I do want you to meet someone tomorrow. Ranger Tabes, Griff, and Karla are gonna come also. If he wants to come, that is." Grizz placed his paws on his body. "I still can't believe you haven't heard of him yet."
"Isaac is aware of celebrity animals, but never knew them personally." Isaac commented.
"I can tell he won't like Ranger Tabes at all."
"I'm still looking forward to meeting him. Especially since I might make a friend with someone we just met." Chloe said.
"Trust us, he's not gonna be like Yana." Panda replied. "Anyway, we should head home. Me, Lucy, Clifford, Kale, Kazumi, and Tom are gonna go to Amanda's house first thing in the morning."
The Bears and two humans left the coffee building as Ice Bear took Chloe home, the same way he did after the camping day he had not too long ago. The moment he arrives in Canada with Yana by his side, he'll be prepared if any foe similar to Barry or Trout gets in his way.
