Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. That night, it was very hard 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: for Caden to fall asleep because his mind was racing 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: about the spy adventure that was waiting for him in 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: the morning. But finally, bee beep beep, his alarm clock 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: went off and he sat straight up out of bed. 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: He knew he had to get to work. There had 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: never been a time as fast as now that. Cayden 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: brushed his teeth, got dressed to eate breakfast, and got ready 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: for school. Hey, mom, how are my friends doing. Do 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: you know if they're feeling any better yet? Well, I 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: just received some text messages from their parents and no, 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: they still feel really not well this morning, so they're 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: gonna be staying home from school. And I even heard 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: that some of your other classmates aren't feeling well either, 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: So there must be a bug going around school. Just 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: be careful when you're at school. Okay, Oh, I'll be careful, 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: all right, said Kayden. But I think it's actually not 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: really like a bug at school. I think it's something 33 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: else going on, something with the Purple Ninjas. The Purple Ninjas, 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: said his mom. If they are behind this, I know 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: you can stop them. 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: Kayden. 37 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: Just stay safe. Cayden finished tying his shoes, opened the door, 38 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: and started walking towards school. Up ahead, he heard a 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of commotion, a lot of noises, a lot of 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: people talking, like there was a crowd outside, but it 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: was very early in the morning. It was not your average, 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, bus stop crowd of people. There's something else 43 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: going on up there. Excuse me, what are all what 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: are all you guys doing here, asked Kayden as he 45 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: was walking down the street. There was a long line 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: of people going all the way down his street. Hey, 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: the end of the line is back there. No cutting, 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: No cutting, said a person in line. I'm not trying 49 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: to get in line. What are you in line for? 50 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Asked Kayden. Real, funny kid, We're all in line for 51 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: the same thing. Those healthy snack balls have taken the 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: town by storm. We don't want to miss him before 53 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: they sell out. No, no, no, you should. I don't think 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: you should eat those. My friends eat those yesterday and 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: they got really sick today. Ah, you're not tricking me. 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: I had one yesterday and yeah, I don't feel great, 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: but they said that was normal and just to eat more. 58 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Cayden realized that there was no hope in talking to 59 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: these people. They had somehow been brainwashed into believing that 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: this snack ball was good for you, but in fact 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: he knew it wasn't. He was running out of time 62 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: before school started, so we hurried along, running past the 63 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: rest of the line. It was a very long line 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: of people waiting at this snack truck, and he couldn't 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: believe how quickly the whole town had heard about this 66 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: new thing. He walked into school, got to his classroom 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: and waited and waited, and only a few of his 68 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: classmates arrived. As the teacher walked in, she explained, Hello, Glass, Uh, 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: it seems that there's a lot of people home sick today, 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: so today we're having a movie day. Cayden was normally 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: excited about a movie day at school, but not today. 72 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: There was bigger, way, bigger things going on. As the 73 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: teacher started the movie, Cayden couldn't help but just stare 74 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: out the window. Thankfully, his class was positioned in a 75 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: way that looking out the window could see the snack 76 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: truck right there, that shiny new purple snack truck. Figuring 77 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: out this mystery is way more important than watching a movie, 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: Kayden whispered to himself. During the next hour, he just 79 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: had his eyes glued on that purple truck outside. And 80 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: finally something happened. Is that a drone up there? It 81 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: was hard for Kayden to see out the window high enough, 82 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: but high up, just immediately above that purple truck looked 83 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: like there was a drone coming down from the clouds, 84 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: and it was flying right towards the purple truck. It 85 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: looked like he was delivering a big box. It lowered 86 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: the box and set it down on the roof of 87 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: that truck and then zoomed back up towards the clouds. 88 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: Gotta keep my eye on that drone, see where it goes. 89 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: As he watched it fly up towards the clouds, the 90 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: clouds started to open up, revealing what was behind it. 91 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: Is that the purples to keep blimp? Holy smokes, said 92 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Kayden to himself. 93 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 2: I was right along. 94 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: He accidentally said that very loudly in his class, and 95 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: his teacher turned towards him and said, Kayden, is everything Okay? 96 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: What were you right about? Uh? This movie? Uh? This 97 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: movie's the best the best movie, right, guys. Everyone was 98 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: a little confused that why Cayden was acting strange, but 99 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: he couldn't reveal to everyone that he was on the 100 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: spy team and it was currently in the middle of 101 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: an important investigation. The rest of the school they dragged on, 102 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: but finally the school bell rang and school was over. 103 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Kayden grabbed his things and ran out the front door. HQ, 104 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: this is Kayden. I have an update. Sh It's great 105 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: to hear from you. 106 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: Kayden. What have you learned so far? 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: Sh Well, I'm pretty sure I just saw the purple 108 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: blimp hovering up above the purple snack truck, and I 109 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: think they're delivering the supplies for it. It's gotta be 110 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: all connected to the purple Ninjas and Doctor's staky breath. 111 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: Sh great job and the surveillance. Kayden. We're gonna need 112 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: you to analyze one of those snack balls and use 113 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: your chemistry set. That should be able to tell us 114 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: exactly what is going on with those snackballs. Let us 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: know what you find out. 116 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: Over and out, sh Kayden ran towards where that purple 117 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: snack truck was parked, but unfortunately there was still a 118 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: very long line. 119 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: This is gonna take forever if I wait in that 120 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: line to get a piece of that snack Well, excuse me. 121 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: Can I have a tiny little piece of that snackball 122 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: you just bought? You think you're gonna get a piece 123 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: of my delicious snack ball? You got another thing coming. 124 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: This is alvermine and no share in How in the 125 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: world was Kaden gonna get a sample to test. You 126 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: gotta find some crumbs or something. Someone must have dropped 127 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: it somewhere maybe even the trash can, said Kayden. 128 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: Ugh, I can't believe I'm actually considering looking in the 129 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: trash can, but a duty calls. Unfortunately, there were no 130 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: crumbs on the floor, which meant Cayden had to look 131 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: inside at the trash can. Maybe, just maybe he would 132 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: get lucky enough that someone didn't eat their entire snackball, 133 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: there'd be a piece for him to test. As he 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: picked up the lid to the garbage can and looked inside, 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: there were a whole bunch of rappers. But deep down 136 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: inside there it was a small piece leftover of a 137 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: snackball there. 138 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: I just gotta reach down and oh this is it's disgusting. 139 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Just gotta grab that and there, all right, now to 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: run some tests. Inside of his spypack, he had a 141 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: special chemistry set that had this very secret special piece 142 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: of equipment that it can analyze anything in just a 143 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: few seconds. All right. I just gotta line up the 144 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: lasers and press this button. And after the machine analyzed 145 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: all the data, the results were not good. Holy smokes, 146 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: I was right, HQ, this is Cataan. The news is 147 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: not good. Come in over sh what's the news?
