~Swellview High School~

"Ooh! They're gonna catch him!" Charlotte squealed as she and Jasper watched a live newsfeed of a motorcycle chase. Pretty much everyone in the school was glued to their screens to see if the police could catch the dangerous rogue.

"No, he just made a U-turn." Jasper gasped as the motorbike rider dodged the police's attempts to grab him. Henry wandered through the school's halls, wondering what everyone was chattering about.

"Hey, what's going on?" He asked his friends.

"A live police pursuit." Charlotte quickly explained, never taking her eyes off the PearPad.

"They've been chasing a guy on a motorcycle all 'round Swellview," Jasper added as Henry started watching too.

"It's been going on for over an hour." The teen girl said, watching as the motorcyclist took a right turn onto another street. Even Sydney and Oliver were following the news, but they were arguing about it at the same time. Some things never change.

"Whoa, this motorcycle guy's insane." Henry chuckled as he saw the dude filtering dangerously through the traffic and doing wheelies to mock the men chasing him.

"Oh, is the motorcycle chase still on?" Miss Shapen as her students as she rounded the corner wearing a shockingly orange outfit.

"Yes, ma'am," Jasper confirmed as they all oo'ed and ahh'ed at how the rider was turning around to look at the news crew. Henry was right, this guy was crazy. The news had brought on a 'motorcycle expert' to explain some trivia to the viewers, but all he was saying was complete crap or completely obvious.

"Jasper, I need you to get the flag and put it out in front of the school." Miss Shapen told the curly-haired boy, who didn't want to stop watching.

"Why?" He asked in a whiny voice.

"'Cause there's nothing out there now and you can't pledge allegiance to a hole." The teacher snapped.

"But I wanna keep watching this," Jasper said, causing Miss Shapen to snatch the PearPad away from his hands.

"FLAG!" She yelled loudly, prompting Jasper to sprint off to get that flag. Miss Shapen, Henry and Charlotte continued to watch the chase as the rider zoomed towards their school. Oliver Pook, being weird and cowardly, ran to go hide in the girl's bathroom, which wasn't his best idea.

Taking Henry aside, Charlotte pulled his ear down to her lips.

"Uh, you realise that a criminal is riding toward this school." She pointed out, but like always, Henry couldn't read between the lines.

"Yeah. So?" He asked.

"So it might be a good time for Captain Man or Kid Danger to get here." She mumbled, lowering her voice so no other kids could hear what she was saying.

"Right, right. I...uh...better go wash my nose." Henry told Miss Shapen, who looked confused but bought the lie anyway. Backing away down the corridor, Henry discreetly popped a gumball into his mouth and dashed off to find a safe place to transform. He needed to hurry up; the man had raced across the car park and the lawn and was heading towards the school's entrance.

"Oh, Charlotte! Open the doors!" Miss Shapen said to the girl as she dug through her purse.

"Why?" Charlotte asked in bewilderment, thinking that letting a criminal on a dangerous motorcycle into the school was a terrible idea.

"'Cause if that motorcycle rides by I'm gonna get it on video." The teacher exclaimed, tapping away on her phone.

"But, I don' think--" Charlotte protested, but arguing with Miss Shapen was always a bad idea.
