Snake:Well, so much for getting answers.

Ben:So now what?

Julie:I got it. If we follow one of the villains to where their hide.

Wolf:No. No way.

Julie was a little surprised.

Julie:What?!

Wolf:We need to play this smarter. If we cause any more scenes with the villains, we'll be in even more hot water.

Julie:But-

Julie:No buts! That's an order. As both your Dad and your boss.

Julie clenched her fist as she left the room. Ben and Pandora followed her.

Pandora:Where are you going?

Julie:I'm going to use a tracker idea weather my dad is on board or not!

Ben:What?!

Pandora:Your parents will kill you!

Julie:I don't care. I'm done letting my family get hurt, and I'm done letting Sally dragging my friends and I through

They walked to the Bad Guys' car and Julie opened the trunk. She pulled out an airsoft gun.

Pandora:An airsoft gun?

Julie:We modified it to shoot trackers. If we track one of the villains, we could find evidence that Sally is working with them.

Pandora:Are you sure you want to do this?

Julie:You want your family to be labeled accomplices to criminals.

The two mice seemed hesitant, but they eventually agreed.

Ben:How are we going to dart one of them?

Julie:There's a trick that could work.

They put a few coins on the ground.

Pandora:So, how is this gonna work?

Julie:Squawker loves shiny things, no way he can resist some spare change. When he comes down, I hit him with the tracker.

Ben:You sure he'll fall for it?

Julie:Squawker isn't the smartest villain around.

After several minutes of waiting, Squawker finally noticed the change. He quickly landed and scooped it up. Just then, Divebomb landed next to him.

Divebomb:What are you doing?

Squawker:What?

Divebomb:We have a schedule to keep, and we can't do that if you stop for every piece of change.

Just before they left, Julie shot Squawker with the tracker. The three kids then stealthfully sneaked behind the two birds. Meanwhile, the adults were trying to think of what to do when...

Shark:Uh, guys...where are the kids?

That's when they realized...

Snake:You don't think...

They raced down and opened the trunk of the car.

Wolf:My God, she didn't...

Thea:What is it?

Wolf:The tracker gun, its gone. *Groan* I swear, if the villains don't kill her, I will!

Meanwhile, the three children found the villains hideout. Julie peaked through the doorknob.

Julie:Nuts, there's a robo-hooligan guarding the door.

Pandora:Allow me.

He knocked on the door

Pandora:Knock Knock.

Robo-Hooligan:Who's there?

Pandora:The door.

She slammed the door in the Robo-Hooligan's face, disabling it.

Ben:Ladies first.

They hid behind some of the abandoned equipment. They saw some of the villains playing cards.

Shadow:Got any threes?

Inferno:Go fish.

Just then, two certain mice came in.

Sally:Everything going well?

Hammerhead:About right, yeah. Whats the next step?

Sally:Lets just say for now, it'll be quite the spectacle.

El Fuego:Now that sounds like my kind of crime.

Hammerhead:Agreed. Now, what does-

She stopped and suddenly began sniffing the air.

Julie:Uh oh...

Clamp:What is it?

Hammer:We have some uninvited guests. Two mice and a raccoon.

Julie:*Whisper* Go! Go!

They tried to make it to the door, but some of the villains blocked their way.

Spike:Going somewhere.

The three were captured and brought to the others.

Pandora:Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Just then...

???:Well well well, part of me was hoping you'd arrive.

Julie's blood ran cold as she'd recognize that voice anywhere.

Julie:No...no way.

Out of the shadows...stepped Terrence Smith...

Terence:Daddy's home...
