Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. That night, it was very hard 16 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: for Caden to fall asleep because his mind was racing 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: about the spy adventure that was waiting for him in 18 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: the morning. But finally, beep, beep beep, his alarm clock 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: went off and he sat straight up out of bed. 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,080 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 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: brushed his teeth, got dressed, ate breakfast, and got ready 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: for school. Hey, mom, how are my friends doing. Do 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: you know if they're feeling any better yet? Well, I 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: just received some text messages from their parents and no, 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: they still feel really not well this morning, so they're 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna be staying home from school. And I even heard 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: that some of your other classmates aren't feeling well either. 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: So there must be a bug going around school. Just 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: be careful when you're at school. Okay, Oh, I'll be careful, 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: all right, said Kayden. But I think it's actually not 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: really like a bug at school. I think it's something 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: else going on, something with the Purple Ninjas. The Purple Ninjas, 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: said his mom. If they are behind this, I know 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: you can stop them. Kayden. Just stay safe. Caden finished 36 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: tying his shoes, opened the door, and started walking towards school. 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Up ahead, he heard a lot of commotion, a lot 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: of noises, a lot of people talking, like there was 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: a crowd outside, but it was very early in the morning. 40 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: It was not your average, you know, bus stop crowd 41 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: of people. There's something else going on up there. Excuse me, 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: what are all what are all you guys doing here, 43 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: asked Kayden as he was walking down the street. There 44 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: was a long line of people going all the way 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: down his street. Hey, the end of the line is 46 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: back there. No cutting, No cutting, said a person in line. 47 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get in line. What are you 48 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: in line for? Asked Kayden. Real, funny kid, We're all 49 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: in line for the same thing. Those healthy snack balls 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: have taken the town by storm. We don't want to 51 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: miss him before they sell out. No, no, no, you should. 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't think you should eat those. My friends eat 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: those yesterday and they got really sick today. Ah, you're 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: not tricking me. I had one yesterday and yeah, I 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: don't feel great, but they said that was normal and 56 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: just to eat more. Cayden realized that there was no 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: hope in talking to these people. They had somehow been 58 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: brainwashed into believing that this snack ball was good for you, 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: but in fact he knew it wasn't. He was running 60 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: out of time before school started, so we hurried along, 61 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: running past the rest of the line. It was a 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: very long line of people waiting at this snack truck, 63 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: and he couldn't believe how quickly the whole town had 64 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: heard about this new thing. He walked into school, got 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: to his classroom and waited and waited, and only a 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: few of his classmates arrived. As the teacher walked in, 67 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: she explained, Hello, Glass, it seems that there's a lot 68 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: of people home sick today, so today we're having a 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: movie day. Cayden was normally excited about a movie day 70 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: at school, but not today. There was bigger, way, bigger 71 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: things going on. As the teacher started the movie, Cayden 72 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: couldn't help but just stare out the window. Thankfully, his 73 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: class was positioned in a way that looking out the 74 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: window could see the snack truck right there, that shiny 75 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: new purple snack truck. Figuring out this mystery is way 76 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: more important than watching a movie, Kayden whispered to himself. 77 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: During the next hour, he just had his eyes glued 78 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: on that purple truck outside. And finally something happened. Is 79 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: that a drone up there? It was hard for Kayden 80 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: to see out the window high enough, but high up, 81 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: just immediately above that purple truck looked like there was 82 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: a drone coming down from the clouds, and it was 83 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: flying right towards the purple truck. It looked like he 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: was delivering a big box. It lowered the box and 85 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: set it down on the roof of that truck and 86 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: then zoomed back up towards the clouds. Gotta keep my 87 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: eye on that drone, see where it goes. As he 88 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: watched it fly up towards the clouds, the clouds started 89 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: to open up, revealing what was behind it. Is that 90 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: the purples? To keep blimp ho, he smokes, said Kayden 91 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: to himself. I was right along. He accidentally said that 92 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: very loudly in his class, and his teacher turned towards 93 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: him and said, Kayden, is everything Okay? What were you 94 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: right about? 95 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: Uh? 96 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: This movie? Uh? This movie's the best the best movie, right, guys. 97 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: Everyone was a little confused that why Cayden was acting strange, 98 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: but he couldn't reveal to everyone that he was on 99 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: the spy team and it was currently in the middle 100 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: of an important investigation. The rest of the school they 101 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,679 Speaker 1: dragged on, but finally the school bell rang and school 102 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: was over. Kaiden grabbed his things and ran out the 103 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: front door. HQ, this is Kayden. I have an update. 104 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Sh It's great to hear from you. Kayden. What have 105 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you learned so far? Sh Well, I'm pretty sure I 106 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: just saw the purple blimp hovering up above the purple 107 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: snack truck, and I think they're delivering the supplies for it. 108 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: It's gotta be all connected to the Purple Ninjas and 109 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: doctor Staky breath. Sh great job and the surveillance. Kayden, 110 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna need you to analyze one of those snack 111 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: balls and use your chemistry set. That should be able 112 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: to tell us exactly what is going on with those 113 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: snack balls. Let us know what you find out. Over 114 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: and out, sh Kaiden ran towards where that purple snack 115 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: truck was parked, but unfortunately there was still a very 116 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: long line. This is gonna take forever if I wait 117 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: in that line to get a piece of that snack ball. 118 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: Excuse me? Can I have a tiny little piece of 119 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: that snackball you just bought? You think you're gonna get 120 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: a piece of my delicious snack ball? You got another 121 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: thing coming. This is ulvermine and no share in How 122 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: in the world was Kaden gonna get a sample to test? 123 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: You gotta find some crumbs or something. Someone must have 124 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: dropped it somewhere, maybe even the trash can, said Kayden, ugh, 125 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm actually considering looking in the trash can, 126 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: but a duty calls. Unfortunately, there were no crumbs on 127 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: the floor, which meant Cayden had to look inside at 128 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: the trash can. Maybe, just maybe he would get lucky 129 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: enough that someone didn't eat their entire snackball, there'd be 130 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: a piece for him to test. As he picked up 131 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: the lid to the garbage can and looked inside, there 132 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: were a whole bunch of rappers. But deep down inside 133 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: there it was a small piece leftover of a snackball there. 134 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: I just gotta reach down and it's disgusting. Just gotta 135 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: grab that and there, all right, now to run some tests. 136 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: Inside of his spypack, he had a special chemistry set 137 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: that had this very secret special piece of equipment that 138 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: it can analyze anything in just a few seconds. All right, 139 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: You just gonna line up the lasers and press this button. 140 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: And after the machine analyzed all the data, the results 141 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: were not good. Holy smokes, I was right, HQ, this 142 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: is Caden. The news is not good. Come in over, 143 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: sh what's the news, Kaden? You were able to analyze 144 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: some of those snack balls. Yeah, and basically it's pure 145 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: sugar with something added to it to make it like 146 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: you just always want more and more and more. This 147 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: is definitely not a healthy snack. It's just a giant 148 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: sugar ballh that's great to hear. Great work, Cayden. We're 149 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: gonna send out a team and close down that purple 150 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: snack truck once and for all, over and out. Sh Wow. 151 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: Great job, Kayden. He solved that mystery. You see. In fact, 152 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: that purple snack truck was led by purple ninjas, and 153 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: because of Cayden's persistence in figuring out this mystery, not 154 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: only did they shut down the snack truck, but he 155 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: was also able to help his friends and all the 156 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: people in the city get better from that terrible sickness 157 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: they got from those snack balls.
