Kim, Ron, and Rufus had arrived at Coney Island and were standing on the ledge of the boardwalk looking out over the beach. Ron and Rufus were enjoying a quick chimirito from small Bueno Nacho vendor as Kim stuck to the mission. With a pair of binoculars, Kim zoned in on the Seniors, Sr. and Jr., laying out on cabanas a good distance up the beach. They were conversing with a dark-skinned man with white hair, who seemed very sophisticated and high-class. Kim suspected that it was Kingsley, and after a facial analysis from Wade, it was confirmed that he was indeed Kingsley.

"So what makes this Kingsley guy so important anyway?" Ron asked as he smacked on his food.

"Roderick Kingsley is a one of New York's wealthiest citizens" Wade explained through the Kimmunicator. "He's made billions on many community-based business dealings and his exclusive cosmetic products."

"Ooh... so he makes perfume!" Ron said enthusiastically, like a little child giggling at nothing.

"Are they any good?" Kim cut-in, "Asking for black market value?"

"I don't think so" Wade answered. "But in recent years, he's spent millions on trying to perfect a compound that is found in most fragrance products. It's usually what makes them smell nice and attracts people toward it."

"Hmm... so either they want his money, or Junior's after a new colon" Kim theorized. "Isn't Junior still dating Bonnie?" Ron added.

"I think they're on and off" she responded, "they can both get a little too selfish to keep what they have going on consistently." Ron and Rufus smiled, knowing this would be a possibility. Kim resumed her stack out and noticed nothing had changed since she last had her eyes on them. She handed the binoculars over to Ron, who wanted to look, who observed the same thing.

"Are we sure that they're here to rob him?" he said. "They all look pretty relaxed to me. You know with their drink glasses and shades."

"At first glance, maybe, but I'm sure they have him contained somehow" Kim chimed in, keeping her head in the game. "If we're going to stop them, we need to blend in, so they don't see us coming."

"Hey, how bout over there!" Ron pointed out a large beach party gathered around the concessions stand. It appeared to be a high school party, based on how many young-looking faces were within the crowd. Kim pursed her lips a bit, "blending in with teenagers... genius" she said sarcastically.

"Oh c'mon Kim, I mean, it's only been two years since we were teenagers."

"And in that same time, I feel like I've aged an additional three years" Kim groaned, "but I guess you do make a point."

"Booyah!" Kim rolled her eyes passively at her friend's idea. "I just hope we don't get spotted." With that, they made their way onto the sand and inserted themselves within the large crowd of teens. They try to walk in a random path to avoid being spotted or attract any unwanted attention from anybody that would possibly recognize their faces. As they closed in, they climbed up onto the concessions deck to check in on the Seniors again. Kim pulls out the binoculars again, and like the last time, they didn't seem to be doing anything suspicious. And as Kim started to see more of it, the more curious she became about it.

"Why are they so chill?"

"Um, maybe because there is no danger" Ron answered. "I mean remember the time they had us convinced that they were living a simple life before totally pulling a switch on us."

"And I would gladly not like to relive another gag like that again" Kim complained. "I just wish there was a way for us to hear what they're saying."

"Gotcha covered, KP" Ron said, and asked for a one-way radio. ""Why?" Kim asked.

"I have an idea okay. Just trust me on this" he said, a begging tone in his voice, hoping that she would allow him to take charge of a situation for once. Kim frowned a bit, thinking about any consequences that could occur if he were to have a handle on things and put his ideas to use.
