Third POV
"Okay, several questions," Zuma began. "Why did Everest leave? How did she even know that there was a hole in the wall? How did Eve know it led here? Why was she even in the boys' bathroom? Why-?"

"We'll answer all of those questions soon," Chase said as he examined the floor. "Too bad this is concrete and not dirt. We could've seen her shoe prints."

"You think we'll know anything from just looking at the ground?" Zuma asked as he looked over Chase's shoulder.

"If only we had my spy gear," Chase said as he carefully hovered his fingers on the ground.

"Spy gear?" Zuma questioned. "You have spy gear?"

"Yep."

"Wait, wait, wait, like, legit spy gear?"

"Yeah."

"Where'd you get that?"

"My dad gave it to me on my birthday."

"He used to work in the military, but then he had a terrible injury, so he became a police officer."

"Wait, so you have legit military gear!?"

"Uh, yeah, basically."

"That's fireee."

"Yeah. My dad still uses some of his gadgets, and he gave the rest to me."

"Then what are you doing? Go get them."

"They're in my house," Chase said as he got up.

"Then let's get them and come back."

"It'll waste a little bit of time but okay."

Marshall's POV
"Alright, boys," Coach began. "Today's the big day. We play against the Red Tigers, so everyone needs to keep their head in the game. Oh, and a quick reminder: the field trip is next week. I hope most of you bought some of the gear you'll need out there in the wilderness. If not, you still have next week to buy it before the trip. The departure will be at 8 in the morning, so everyone should be here by 7:30."

"Question," Arby raised his hand. "Is the football team and the cheerleaders the only ones going?"

"Yes." Too bad Rex, Rocky, and Rubble won't be going on the trip.

"Okay, so we'll get started with the 'Blast or Drive' technique," Coach announced as we all ran to the field. Coach looked around in confusion as he scanned our faces. "Where's Chase?"

"Um, no tenemos idea," Tracker responded. "We don't have any idea." 'Lie' was scribbled all over Tracker's eyes as he ran to the other side of the field to be defense. I observed him as he got into position and stared at the ball.

"Alright, Zuma, cover for Chase," Gratacos yelled for us all to hear. "Wait. Is Zuma not here either?"

"No, Coach," Jackson answered. His smile looked evil, and he seemed to be somewhat satisfied. I hope Jackson didn't have anything to do with the disappearance of anyone.

"What did they think today was gonna be?" Coach asked out loud.

"A free day? I told you all we were gonna practice two times today. And I informed you all to know beforehand."

"I'll cover," Jackson offered.

Rocky's POV
"How do we help find Everest?" Rubble asked.

"What do you mean?" I questioned. "Zuma and Chase are doing that right now."

"I know, but I feel like we should do something too," Rubble said as he played with his fingers. "Like, we're just sitting here. Let's help."

"How?"

"Sure we can think of something," Rex said.

"Like what?" I asked. "We can't do much when we're inside of school."

"Hmmm," Rex thought. "Don't you have access to the cameras?"

"Shhh," I shushed as I looked around the library. Luckily, no one heard. "Do you?"

"Yes, but no one knows," I whispered.

"That's the biggest help we can get," Rex smiled. "Open up the cameras on your laptop."

"Alright, hold on," I said as I powered up my laptop.

"Where are you going with this?" Rubble asked Rex as I typed in my password.

"I have an idea," Rex stated. "Rocky, what cameras can you access?"

"Uh, almost all of them," I responded. "The only one I can't is the kitchen."

"Hopefully, they didn't break into the kitchen then," Rex said as I handed him my laptop.

"Are you doing what I think you're doing?" I asked. Rex typed on my laptop as Rubble, and I scooched over to see what Rex was doing. He moved the mouse and opened the cameras in the halls, seeing they were empty. Rex then moved the time back as we saw Skye and Chase.

"Move it back so we can see what happened from the beginning," Rubble said as he excitedly stared at the computer screen.

"On it," Rex said in deep concentration. He quickly sped the time back and played it right before Everest walked out of the classroom. We saw her walk out with an annoyed expression. She walked down the hall and stopped when she saw something at the end of the hall. Due to the angle, we weren't able to see what it was. Rex changed the angle to reveal Gasket and Hunter walking down the hall. The two disappeared at the corner with Everest not far behind.

"Go to the other camera," Rubble rushed as Rex did so. We saw Gasket and Hunter walk ahead of Everest as she attentively followed behind. Gasket then turned around as the three had a small conversation. Unexpectedly, Gasket grabbed Hunter's arm, twisted it, and took off with Everest. Hunter collapsed to the ground and used his right hand to clutch his left shoulder.

"Poor, Hunter," Rex said as he watched.

"Why did Gasket do that?" Rubble asked as he turned to us.

"I don't know," I admitted. "What happened to Hunter after? Fast forward." Rex did as I requested, and we saw him struggle to get up on his own. A little later, Skye went over, and they began to talk. We discovered that she walked Hunter over to the nurse and met up with Chase later. The two walked together to the office, walked back out, and we met up with them.

"Okay, what happened to Gasket and Everest?" Rubble asked as Rex re-winded the time and changed the camera. We saw the two run across the hall and run into the boys' bathroom.

"What the-?" Rex asked with complete confusion. "The boys' bathroom?"

"Where'd they go after that?" I questioned. Rex then fast-forwarded the time and showed absolutely no sign of either of the two. We saw a few people enter and leave the bathroom, but not the two we were searching for.

"Wait, wait, wait," Rubble said as he placed his hand on Rex's shoulder. "Go back, go back, go back." Rex did as he was told and the images showed Chase and Zuma rush into the bathroom.

"Chase and Zuma!" We all exclaimed.

"Where are they now?" I asked. Rex then fast-forwarded the time to the present time, and we didn't see any sign of the two. "Huh, that's strange. They all just...disappeared."

"Hold on, if Chase and Zuma went through a tunnel in the walls of the school, and the girls didn't get out of the bathroom, then they might be on the right track!" Rex thought with a smile.

"Check the outside cameras," I pointed. Rex checked the time of the occurrence and then changed to all the cameras out of the building. After patiently watching, Dwayne, Gasket, Everest, and Hubcap all crawled out of a random hole.

"Look, it's Everest," Rubble pointed as if he were a five-year-old.

"They left..." I said as we watched the four walk off of the school property.

"Now what?" Rubble questioned.

"We call Chase," Rex said as he pulled out his phone.
