At the abandoned fishing spot Pat and Rocky's problems continued as Pat kept trying to get away from the criminal and Rocky getting more and more nervous and terrified by the second, fearing for her life. She gave the bear a kiss on the ear in an effort to calm down, hoping it would kiss her back.
"This is the end for you" the criminal said in a low voice. "I'll kill you and raise your daughter as my own, teaching her to rob and murder. Now, say good-bye"
"Come and fight like a man! It's no fair fight if you use your powers" Pat shouted with a new stroke of bravery and determination.
"You would like that, wouldn't you?" the criminal said icy. "But you'll be still be road kill. Nonetheless I'll give you a fighting chance."
"Then what are you waiting for? Come on!"
"Give me a moment" the criminal said and Pat knew he couldn't deny this demand.
She teleported her to Rocky with an evil grind on her face, clearly having a vicious plan of what to do with Rocky.
"Let’s see just how much your daddy will risk" the criminal whispered to Rocky with a maniacal tone in her voice that made Rocky cry.
She threw Rocky in a high-chair she pulled out of the pond, showing no care or even minding if the toddler survives or not; not even seeing that Rocky is panicking from the wetness of the chair.
The criminal whispered something in Rocky's ear that caused the toddler to show a cheesy grind, acting like a complete idiot without a brain and she kept drooling over everything.
When Rocky became a little insane because of what the criminal said, it also affected Nadine, causing her to feel strange and.....a little crazy, like Rocky; she yelled at the feeling to go away and her sister to leave her alone.
Then something inside her said: "Be quiet you spoiled brat! Sit still and obey....obey....obey.....OBEY, CHILD!"
Nadine got such a big fright, she couldn't get a sound out and just fell flat in her crib.
The criminal teleported herself back to Pat and said: "Now we're going one-on-one.""What did you do to Rocky?!" Pat screamed with utter sorrow
"You don't need to worry about that right now; just concentrate on not dying."
Pat started his plan and ran through some thick bushes with the criminal following close after him; when they came to a turn, he splashed some mud in her face, causing that she couldn't see. She had to stop to wipe it off and Pat crept silently to her back, just as she was done, he knocked her to the ground.
When they came out of the bushes, the criminal's face-makeup was wiped off, her hat was gone and her contacts fell out; her whole disguise was ruined.
"Where did all that get you?'' the criminal asked.
"Having you lose your disguise" Pat replied.
Rian came into Vinny's temporal room and stared at him in shock from the phone call he just got."Why?" asked Rian.
"Why what?" Vinny said confused, staring back at Rian.
"You didn't tell me you pulled ANOTHER prank. I thought you learned your lesson when you got expelled from the community school. What did you think you would accomplish by blowing the school's roof off? You're not impressing any-"
Woah, woah, woah. Hold up! I didn't do that; I only replaced the pudding with mud."
"Then we just solved another prank."
As soon as the sun started to rise, Nelly ran to Vinny's room, unknowing that Rian was discussing her brother’s punishment for the pranks; and just as fast as she ran earlier, she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Rian.
"Sorry Sir. I didn't know you were in the middle of something" Nelly said apologetic as she looked from Rian strict face to Vinny's sour one."It's okay. At least you're learning some manners" Rian said.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, we were just finishing up. I s there a reason for this visit?"
"I just wanted to chat with my brother. And Sir, I miss my mother."
"I'm not sending you home early"
"No. I didn't mean it like that. I want to thank her for everything she does for us with a new dress, but I don't have enough money."
"You can raise money with a baking stand. I'll get you one."
"Thank you"
"And Vinny, you'll be working in the cafeteria for 2 months and raise money to pay for half the new roof."
Before Vinny could say another word or protest, Rian left the room to check on Nadine and then climb back into bed.
Nelly joined her brother on the bed so they could discuss everything that happened to them since the last time they could talk.
"What was all that about?" Nelly asked
"I'm being framed for a prank I didn't play" Vinny explained.
"I thought you always play a prank on your first day of school"
"Yes, but someone else did this one"
"The mystery girl" Nelly whispered to herself
"What?" Vinny asked
"Nothing, but you're not the only one with problems"
"What's wrong?"
"This morning some half-dead person called me and said something about a hidden thing"
"It's probably nothing. Most likely only a crank caller"
Nelly smiled at Vinny to fake that she believes him and then gets her phone out to check the number of the person that called her, but found that her mobile is turned off"
At the lake the criminal got a knife out and got ready to jam it into Pat's shoulder, but then a police officer showed up out of nowhere in his uniform, clearly about to arrest someone.
"Excuse me. You're under arrest ma'am" the officer said
"Why?" the criminal asked in an innocent voice, quickly hiding the knife behind her back.
"I know who you are."
"Who?"
"A master of disguise, you really are."
The criminal looked at Pat and had an idea; she threw the knife so it lands neatly between his feet.
"I saw that and you're coming with me either way" the officer said
Before the criminal could make another move, the officer already handcuffed her tightly and she looked at Pat with a grouchy expression on her face.
The police officer took her to his police cruiser but before they were even at the end of the pond, Pat called him back.
"My baby; the criminal stranded her on that little island" Pat said.
"Of course" the officer said and walked over to the criminal, taking something that looks like a remote from her pocket. The police officer continued when he had the device: “Let me just take her to the car and I'll be back to get your baby"
When he came back he teleported himself to Rocky, just like the criminal did countless times before; he looked at Rocky to check if she was okay, but apparently found something wrong as he shook his head, showing sympathy on his face. The officer took her from the chair and looked in her eyes; she looked back at him furiously and all he could see on her face and in her eyes was evil, rage and pain, but also a young girl that's fighting to live and control her actions.
Holding Rocky in his arms, he teleported back to Pat with a worried face and showing care in his eyes, getting ready to explain everything to Pat, as he now owes it to him."Your daughter is hypnotized" the officer said after a few minutes of building up the courage and strength, while Pat waited patiently for him to speak.
"But how?" Pat asked
"This is a dangerous criminal and a master of disguise but her biggest weapon is hypnosis. She's a-not-so-famous-but-very-talented magician; just by saying one word she can control you. I need to take your daughter for therapy; it's the only way she can be cured"
"Who is this villain?"
"Catriano Davidson. Here are her last disguises:"
"In this one she tried to abduct 10 orphans to train to be like her, but we caught her when she fully trained one 14 and 17 year old girls. They are now in rehabs"
"In this one she robbed 5 pyramids and we were unable to catch her and she soled everything she found on the black market"
"This is her last disguise and by far the best. She robbed a bank and wasn't even a suspect, but 3 months later we gathered enough evidence to arrest her"
"When will you bring Rocky back?" Pat asked concerned.
"If you give me your address I'll bring her between 9 pm and 12 am tonight" the officer said
"Here" Pat wrote down his address and gave it to the officer.
"Thank you. By the way, my name is Adams Thompson"
They loosened her hair and after a moment they took the sticker off and Rocky's lips were numb so they couldn't even be moved at all, which meant she had no choice but to stop her tantrum.
They cut her hair and gave her other clothes because the other hairstyle and clothes would remind her of everything that Catriano told her and the therapy wouldn't work.
She looked down and wished she could cry her life over and just reunite with......Catriano Davidson and forget her sister ever existed.
Nadine experienced every dreadful emotion Rocky had and nothing could calm her down; her mother called a therapist to see if everything is in order and the therapist said she'll be there in half an hour.
