UNKNOWN LOCATION
Henry’s POV
It all happened so quickly. One minute I was sitting on my couch watching Pete’s Dragon with
my family since it was family movie night, then the next minute, some unknown people came
into our house (someone forgot to lock the front door) and put something over my mouth and
everything went black. I woke up sometime later and discovered that myself, my mom Siren, my
dad Jake, and my little sister Piper had all been kidnapped and we were being held hostage in a
cell in an old building somewhere in Swellview, hopefully. My family and I were all okay,
thankfully. Mom and Dad were trying to stay calm and figure out who brought us here and find a
way out of here, while Piper started freaking out because she had no cell service here. She is
obsessed with social media! I, on the other hand, was silently freaking out in my head because I
was hiding something and I'm worried that it's the reason these people captured us. What if they
know? If so, how do they know? See, I have a part time job. My family thinks that I just sweep
the floors and do inventory at a store called Junk N’ Stuff, which sells… well, the name is pretty
self explanatory. Anyway, that is partly true, but it's actually a cover for my real job. I'm actually
a superhero sidekick to Swellview’s famous indestructible superhero, who goes by the name
Captain Man, but myself and everyone I work with know him as Ray Manchester. See, my real
name is Henry Hart, but to all of Swellview, I'm known as Kid Danger. That's why I'm worried.
Somebody might know my secret, who I am, who Kid Danger is, and maybe that's why they
captured us! No, no, stay calm Henry! I thought to myself as I examined the lock on the cell
door. It looks like blasting the lock with my laser would get us out of here, but I can't do that
without my family seeing, and my phone doesn't work here, so I found a private corner and did
the only thing that I knew I could do that might help get us out of here. Making sure that no one
was looking, I flipped open my wiz watch and called Ray. I love this thing. It can get me out of
just about any situation, with a laser and a hologram feature, which is what I often used to
contact my boss Ray, especially when stuff like this happens.
“Hey Henry. What's up?” Ray asked.
“Ray, has the crime light went off?” I asked him frantically.
“Uh, no I don't think so. Why?” Ray responded.
“Because there has been a kidnapping! Wanna know how I know? Because the victims of this
particular kidnapping are me and my family!” I explained.
“What?! Where are you? Can you get out? Can…” Ray freaked out, before I cut him off.
“Ray! Listen, I have no idea where we are, just that we’re in a cell in an old building somewhere
, but I don't know why. The lock on the cell door looks like it can be broken by a laser, and I
have one on my wiz watch, but I can't use it without everyone in my family seeing and revealing
my secret!” I explained.
“Well, listen kid. I've been thinking. Maybe it's time for us to tell your family what your job really
is.” Ray suggested.
“Wait, really? But what if they, and by that I mean Piper, tell everyone?” I wondered. Seriously,
she posts everything online!
“Well, I think they can be trusted. And if not, we can just wipe their brains.” Ray reminded.
“You are not wiping their brains! I don't want mindless family members wandering around.” I
said sternly.
“I know, I know. I was joking. I learned that lesson with when Jasper found out. But seriously
though, they can't tell anyone!” Ray responded.
“I won't let them tell a soul. Now, I really hope this works!” I replied.
“Yeah. So use your wiz watch to get yourselves outta there, then bring your parents and sister
to the ManCave.” Ray instructed.
“Alright, see you there!” I hung up. So now I'm about to show my family my big secret. I'm so
nervous, I hope this goes well!
No POV
Henry walked out of the corner he was hiding in, when Piper confronted him.
“Who were you talking to?” she demanded to know.
“My boss Ray. I'll tell you more later. Right now, I think I've figured out a way out of here.” Henry
informed.
“How?” Piper questioned. Henry used his watch to scan the area for hidden cameras and audio
devices. Luckily, there were none.
“Watch this!” Henry said proudly, as he held up his arm with the watch on it, aiming it at the lock.
3...2...1! He pressed a tiny button on the watch, and the green laser blasted the lock, making it
explode. The metal door swung open.
“Whoa, how'd you do that?” Piper asked, astonished.
“I'll explain later, right now we gotta get out of here!” Henry reminded as they all hurried outside.
As it turned out, they weren't too far from Junk N’ Stuff. When they got there, a few customers
were looking around the store, but not too many. Henry nodded at Gooch, who nodded back.
Ray must've told him that Henry’d be bringing his family here. They went to the back to find the
elevator.
“Why are we in the back room at Junk N’ Stuff?” Henry’s dad wondered.
“Well, I have something to show you. But so you don't get mad at me for not telling you, just
know that I took an oath. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. But my boss has finally decided to
let me tell you, but only on one condition: you can't tell anyone about this!” Henry explained.
“Okay dear. We promise we won't tell anyone.” Henry’s mom replied. His dad and even Piper
nodded.
“Okay great! Please follow me.” Henry instructed as he pressed the elevator button and they all
filed into the elevator.
“You all may want to hold on to something and brace yourselves, because trust me, this
elevator goes pretty fast!” Henry warned.
“Oh please, how fast can it g…” Piper started to ask but she was interrupted when the elevator
sped down the shaft at a speed only Henry was used to, the rest of them screamed the whole
way down. Suddenly, the elevator came to an abrupt halt, making everyone lose their balance a
little. The elevator opened up to reveal a room full of all sorts of machines, a spinning couch, a
giant sprocket, and the Captain Man logo was everywhere. Once they all regained their
balance, Piper immediately recognized the place. Since she was a huge fan of Captain Man
and Kid Danger, she entered the contest to win a VIP tour of the ManCave once, and she was
one of the winners. She remembered every detail, including that Kid Danger looked and sounded slightly different than normal, because Henry had to disguise his face and voice so she
wouldn't recognize him.
“No way! This is Captain Man and Kid Danger’s headquarters! The ManCave! And it was right
under Junk N’ Stuff this whole time?” Piper questioned excitedly.
“Yep.” Henry responded.
“Wait, so does this mean you know and work for Captain Man and Kid Danger?” Piper
wondered.
“Not exactly. I mean, I know who they are, but I don't exactly work for Captain Man and Kid
Danger.” Henry replied.
“Then how do you have access to the ManCave?” Piper asked, confused.
“You didn't let me finish. I was gonna say I work for Captain Man… As Kid Danger.” Henry
explained as he watched their faces go from confused to shocked.
