I rushed into the clock shop with a brave face, Captain Man and Kid Danger directly behind me.
"Hi, we're here," Kid Danger enlightened.
"Especially me." Captain Man praised.
I shook my head, rolling my eyes at him. The shop owners, a man, and a woman stared at us with frantic faces. They looked too worried to care about Captain Man's ego.
"Oh! Captain Man, Danger Girl, and Kid Danger! I'm so glad to see you! I'm so scared," the lady rambled.
"I'm Jafoon," the man beside her said.
"Well, hi, Jafoon. I'm Captain Man. This is my sidekick, Kid Da-"
"Can we please meet Jafoon later?" Kid Danger exhorted.
"Right,"
I turned to the lady with furrowed eyebrows, "Ma'am, what's the emergency?"
"Yeah, tell us what's going on," Captain Man ordered.
The woman panicked and began to pace around.
"Okay, I was here working with Jafoon-"
"I'm Jafoon!"
"And... and I got a phone call from some weirdo who said there was a C-five disrupter somewhere in my store!"
"A C-five disrupter?" Captain Man repeated.
"Is that bad?" The lady asked.
"Well, on a scale of C-one to C-ten, it's about a five," Henry nodded.
I blinked at him.
"What does that mean?"
"That it could destroy the entire store." Captain Man informed.
Jafoon screeched.
"Kid Danger, call the police,"
"On it!"
"Ma'am," I turned to Jafoon and the girl, "You and Jafoon have gotta get outta here."
"I am Jafoon!"
"We know," Henry groaned.
"Come on," the lady cried and pulled Jafoon with her.
"Did you get the police?"
"No, it went to voice-mail,"
"Oh, just hang up,"
I began inspecting every clock I could see in the room, not getting any closer to the sound. A loud alarm rang through my ears.
"Ah, it's so loud!" Henry winced, holding his ear.
"Yeah, that's the C-five disrupter!" Captain Man said.
"Well, we gotta find it before it blows," I panicked.
The three of us ran around the store smashing clocks. After a dozen or so, I started to worry.
"Kids, we gotta get outta here!"
Henry paused, staring at something on the ground, "Wait!"
"What are you doing?" I asked while covering my ears.
Henry broke open a clock, making the sound more intense.
"That's it! That's the C-five disrupter!" Captain Man reassured.
"Well, how do we turn it off?"
Ray took the clock from Henry and started fumbling with it.
"We're running out of time," I pointed to the clock.
