It was morning and the teens were still running, but this time they were not running away from something but rather towards someone. On a bike path along the LA river, the teen's sprint, while from behind Gert is pushing a shopping cart with Old Lace hidden underneath a blanket.

"Stop, please!" Chase shouts from in front of the line as he wore a beige trench coat and a backpack over his shoulders

"Give those back!" Alex shouts running slightly behind Chase. They were chasing a young man with shaggy blonde hair and raggedy clothes, he petals on his bike while wearing goggle on his head and Fistagons on his hands.

"How did he even get them?" Nico shouts as she runs carrying a bag and holding up her black ankle-length skirt enough that it wouldn't make her trip

"Chase was supposed to be on lookout!" Molly shouts as she was in the centerline with Nico and Karolina who were all running at about the same speed

Chase, having heard the girls talk about the reason they had the problem at hand, shouts, "Yeah, I only dozed off for, like, five minutes!"

"Gert, hurry!" Luna shouts as she was running at the back of the line not wanting to leave Gert behind but also not wanting to be separated from the team

"Yeah, you're not the one pushing the dinosaur in the shopping cart" Gert shouts as she continued to slowly push the cart

Old Lace growls from underneath the blanket making Luna hold on to her duffle bag and run back to Gert throwing in her bag into the cart. In between catching her breath, Luna touches the necklace on her chest and extends her hands out to the cart when a familiar cold tingling sensation covers the palm of her hands making the shopping cart to move at a faster speed than when Gert was pushing it on her own. To make it seem like there was no supernatural play at hand Luna places her hands on the shopping carts handle to make it seem like she was helping Gert normally push the cart.

Their thief comes to a stop making the teens stop running as he turns around on his bike. He bikes through the group making them part a way for him not wanting to know what it felt like to be blasted with the Fistagons. He makes a three-sixty spin-off a slope on the adjacent bike path and the teens turn to follow him on the new bike path, leaving Gert and Luna to catch up as they had to still make it up the small hill to get to the other bike path

They all make their way towards the main road making their thief to cut through traffic. Chase reaches the curbside stopping as he sees the thief on the other side of the street that had made some angry drivers, who were unhappy with a teen on a bike running into their lane. The thief rides off but not without raising a middle finger in the air towards the teens.
