I follow Ray to an apartment complex. We take the stairs instead of the elevator and reach the 4th floor. Ray leads me to the apartment 113. Ray knocks on it with no answer. He knocks on it one more time before giving up and kicking the door down.

"Captain Man!" I yell

"What?"

"You should've just let me open the door."

"You couldn't have opened that!" Ray says. I then take on hand and lift Ray up in the air. "Oh, yeah. Sometimes I forget that you have superpowers now."

"Yeah", I say as I put him down.

"Let's just get inside", Ray says patting himself off.

"Okay", I say and we walk inside.

I feel a cool breeze as we walk in. I look around and see that the window was wide open. I hit Ray in the shoulder and point over to the window. We run over to it and look down to see a man in a black hoodie running away.

"Captain Man, we need to stop him!" I yell.

"Well, don't look at me; you're the one with super speed!" Ray yells back.

"Oh yeah, I do don't I?" I say and speed down the stairs and go to the ally that the man was in. I see a black hoodie trying to run away from me and I run over to him and grab the back of his hoodie.

"STOP!" I yell as I hold onto him. He grunts and tries to run more. He then unzips his hoodie and I grip onto the collar of his tee.

"Let go!" he grunts.

I turn him around and notice that it isn't my dad. "WHO ARE YOU?"

"A guy!"

"Guys don't run off like that in a black hoodie."

"I thought you were Jake", he says.

"How do you know Jake?!" I yell at him. I see Ray walking up behind me.

"I owe him some money..."

"For what?"

"I can't tell you!"

"Well, you're going to tell me or I'm gonna punch you so hard that you fly away and fall into the Pacific Ocean!"

"Okay, okay!" he yells putting his hands up in defeat. "I took some stuff from where he's staying."

"Like what?"

"Stuff I needed. I have a child, I needed food and things to take care of her...I found some drugs...so I thought I could take some to make money off of it."

"If you have a child, why did you run away without her?"

"She's at a friend's..." he says as I let go of his shirt.

"Why would you take drugs?"

"TO MAKE MONEY! I'm not qualified to even get a job at McDonalds!"

"What's your daughter's name?"

"Olivia...Olivia Marie", he blurts out.

"Where does your friend live?"

"Are you going to take her away from me?!" he yells.

"No, no!" I say trying to calm him down. "I want to help."

"What...? Why?" he says soft.

"Because...I'm Kid Danger and children don't deserve to be raised in a house like yours. She needs to be helped; you need to get a job, and a cleaner house. At the moment, I'll keep Olivia safe with me."
