Dustin, Bailey, and Steve all sat in the back of the ice cream parlor trying to translate the unknown message.

"So what do you think?" Dustin asked after showing Steve and Bailey what he recording "it's sounded familiar" Steve said while putting another piece of banana in his mouth "what?" Dustin asked "the music" Steve said and Bailey smiled while shaking her head. "The music right there at the end" Steve continued "why are you listening to the music Steve? Listen to the Russian! We're translating Russian!" Dustin raised his voice "I'm trying to listen to the Russian but there's music playing-" Robin cut Steve off by walking into the room.

"Alright babysitting time is over you need to get in there" robin said and she walked over by her board "hey my board! That was important data shitbirds" robin said "I guarantee you what we're doing is way more important than your data" Dustin said "yea?" She asked "Yea" Dustin said.

"And how do you know these Russians are up to no good anyway?" Robin asked and Dustin looked at Steve and Bailey "how does she know about the Russians?" Dustin asked as Bailey looked at Steve and Steve looked at the kids and shrugged his shoulders with banana still in his mouth. "I don't know" he said "you talk about the Russians?" Dustin asked "it wasn't me" Steve said. "Definitely wasn't me." Bailey mumbled.

"Hello? I can hear you" robin said and Bailey looked at the boys. "actually I can hear everything, you are both extremely loud..you think you have evil Russians plotting against our country on tape and you're trying to translate but you haven't figured out a single word because you didn't realize the Russians used an entirely different alphabet than we do...sound about right?" Robin said making the boys sit there shocked and Bailey's eyes widened. Robin tried grabbing the recorder but Steve grabbed it before she could. "Whoa! What do you think you're doing?" Steve said. "I wanna hear it" Robin said "why?" Both of the boys said. "Because maybe I can help, I'm fluent in 4 languages you know" Robin said

"Russian?" Dustin asked "ouu-ya-are-de-aa-umm-ba-day" she said and bailey furrowed her eyebrows. with a smile "ohhh" Steve laughed happily "holy shit" Dustin smiled "that was pig Latin, dingus" she said and Bailey laughed "idiot" Steve said while hitting Dustin with his banana peel. "I almost fell for it." Bailey said and Steve glared at the girl.

"But I can speak Spanish, and French, and Italian, and I've been in band for 12 years, my ears are little genius', trust me" Robin said "mhmm" Steve challenged while shaking his head "come on, it's your turn to sling ice cream and my turn to translate, I don't even want credit I'm just bored" Robin said and Steve sighed deeply while looking at Bailey and Dustin.

Robin held out the ice cream scooper, Steve took it and handed her the recorder. "That was smart, we needed her help." Bailey said. "Shut it." Steve said and Bailey smiled. "Aye, Captain." Bailey said.

The four were all in the closed down mall, they finally got the sentences and they were reading them out loud together.

"The week is long, the silver cat feeds, when blue meets, yellow in the west" They all read and furrowed there eyebrows.

Steve shook his head and they sighed "well, we have to all head out, it's late" Bailey said and Dustin nodded. "I didn't expect to be here this long" Dustin said and they all got there things and walked out.

"I mean-it just, just can't be right" Steve said while pulling the gate down for the shop. "it's right" Robin stated. "honestly I think it's great news" Dustin said "how is this great news?i mean-ha-so much for being American hero's, it's total nonsense" Steve said to Dustin.

"It's not nonsense, it's too specific, it's obviously a code" Dustin said "what do you mean a code?" Steve asked "like a super secret spy code" Dustin said "that's a total stretch" Steve said "I don't know, is it?" Robin asked "I don't think it is" Bailey said "you 2 are buying in to this?" Steve asked "listen just for kicks, let's entertain the possibility that it is a secret Russian transmission, what do you think it was gonna say? Fire the warhead at noon?" Robin said "exactly" Dustin said while looking at Steve "and my translation is correct, I know that for sure so the silver cat feeds-why would anyone talk like that unless they were trying to mask the true meaning of their message" Robin said "exactly" Dustin and Bailey said in unison.

"And why would anyone wanna mask the true meaning of their message unless the message was somehow sensitive" Robin explained "exactly" Dustin said to Steve, Steve mocked Dustin silently while Bailey was simply smiling at how smart Robin was. "so I guess that confirms your suspension" Robin said "evil Russians" Dustin said.

"I can't believe I'm about agree with this strange child but yea, totally evil Russians" Robin said while laughing lightly. "so how do we crack it?" Dustin asked "we translate the rest and hopefully a pattern emerges" Robin said "a pattern, maybe silver cats a meeting place" Dustin said "or a person" Robin added. "or a weapon" Bailey added. "it's probably gonna take a super genius to crack it" Robin said and the kids nodded "wheres Steve?" Bailey asked and they all looked back to see him at the kiddy horse ride.

"Hey! Steve! What are you doing?" Bailey asked while money fell out of his pockets and he scrambled, trying to catch the money. "uhh, quarter-I need-do you have quarters!?" Steve asked and they ran up to him "you sure you're tall enough for that ride?" Robin joked making Bailey laugh "QUARTER!" Steve yelled "okay" Robin said and handed him a quarter and he quickly put the quarter in the machine and the music started playing.

"You need help getting up little Stevie?" Robin asked making Dustin and Bailey laugh. "shhhh!" Steve shushed them. "would you guys just shut up and listen?" Steve said and they all got quiet and listened.

"Holy shit" Dustin said "you aren't dumb after all, Steve" Bailey stated while covering her mouth, and Steve flipped her off. "the music" Dustin said while taking off his backpack "the music!" Dustin said and got the recorder and started playing the recording of the Russian and the music was in the background "I don't understand" Robin said "it's the exact same song in the recording" Dustin said "maybe they have horses like this in Russia" Robin said "Indiana flyer? I don't-I don't think so" Steve said while shaking his head "this code didn't come from Russia" Bailey realized. "it came from here" Steve said.
