Maria: "¡No...no sé!"



Candi: "¡Necessito…su ayuda! ¡Somos en mucha molestia si no huir!"

Maria: "¡Ayudaré! ¡Protéjame!"



Candi: "Maria!!! Hold up!"

Too late! She had to chase the child down before something bad happened!



Just as Candi feared - Maria didn't listen!



FLASH!

The Zeran teleporter device on Candi's suit proved useful in the nick of time!

Driver: "Hey! What the???"



Very quickly, the two girls found themselves facing an even bigger complication!

Candi: (thinking aloud) "It's...times like this I wish I were a little better connected..."



Flavio: "Drats! I'm unarmed! Sparky!"

Sparky: "Why are you paging my phone?"

Flavio: "I've spotted the Maria girl! She's worth millions if we capture her! But we're gonna need backup! There's some fruitcake bitch in an orange Halloween suit guarding her!"

Sparky: "Take her down yourself!"



Flavio: "Hey! Hold it right there, you two!"

Candi knew she had to act fast!

Candi: "¡Maria! ¿Me confias?"

Maria: "¿Por que?"



Jumping not a moment too soon, Candi launched both of them onto the top of the semi truck that was racing its way through town!

They knew this was only a temporary solution, and that their troubles were about to grow!



Flavio: "May day! We have a Centhuen Prototype in that suit! Repeat! We've got a CP loose...in an orange Halloween suit! Send in Musaran!"

Sparky: "How do you know she's one of them?"

Flavio: "She just...jumped on top of a semi truck...with a little kid! I saw her centilegs!"

Sparky: "This better not be a rumor!"

Flavio: "Oh no joke, man...this one's legit!"



The truck was headed towards the highway, and Musaran knew he had to act quickly to catch up!

Musaran: "DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!"



He darted towards the edge of the building, and used the tarp to break his fall! From there, he wasted no time finding another truck; which he intended to use for his pursuit.



Anne Marie: "Dear! What was that?"

Larry: "Don't know! Woke me up, whatever it was!"

Anne Marie: "I knew we should've picked a better honeymoon location!"



Andrew Weldinger was eagerly moving along on his shift. He had to get to the next freight location by the following morning, though he as not given a specific time.

Still, with nothing better to do, he was on his way out of town.

He wondered why he felt a thud sound, but since it went away, he assumed everything was normal.



To Andrew's shock, when he looked to his right to see what was going on...he was greeted by a stowaway!

Andrew: "Ah!!! A little girl!!! How'd you get here?"

Maria: "iSiento, senor, necissito mi familia!"

Andrew: "Holy crap! I...I don't speak gibberish, kid! I'm pulling over!"



Andrew: "Oh...shoot!!!"

Candi: "Sir! Calm down!"



Candi: "Take the kid to Latin Town! I'll watch for danger from above!"

Andrew: "What are you talking about? Get off my windshield!"

Candi: "Watch your driving! The kid will direct you!"



Andrew: "Latin Town? Say…you're that little Maria brat in the news!"

Maria: "iSoy! iQuiero ir a mi casa! iMismo! iMismo!!!"

Andrew: "Shut up!"



Candi: (observing Musaran leaping through the air) "Great! Just what didn't need to happen!"



Musaran: "Impossible!!! You're DEEAAADDD!!!!"
