Driving the Amber Beach airport shuttle was nobody's dream job. Kevin Park had driven it for four years, and in that time he'd encountered everything from grouchy jet-lagged businessmen to hungover college kids claiming they'd blame him if they missed their flights. That wasn't even starting on his monthly driving targets. He wanted to tell his bosses where they could put their KPIs.

Still, today wasn't so bad. He was more than halfway into his shift, and for the first time this month, they were making good time. Or at least, they would be, if the four idiots at the door would hurry up and board. Park got up from the driver's seat.

'What's the holdup? I've got eight more stops on this route.'

The four were teenagers, wearing clothes coordinated with their luggage. They'd been about to board but now seemed to be looking at something or someone behind the bus. Park checked his rear view mirror. A van had just pulled up behind the bus, and two men had gotten out.

By now, other passengers were peering out the window too, annoyed at the delay. Someone shouted from the back of the bus.

'Those men just took out guns!'

Park wasn't paid enough for this. He hit the gas, tearing away at a speed that would definitely not help him achieve his safety KPI for the month.

Riley had had a very strange day. Since becoming a Ranger, he'd become used to facing monsters with bizarre powers - monsters who stole the Rangers' courage, gave them cavities, even one whose sole power was farting red gas. But a monster who broke their friendships? Where did Sledge find these weirdos - a Saturday morning children's show?

Though Riley had to admit, Shearfear's gimmick would've worked, if not for his last-minute plan. That would definitely be a story to tell his grandchildren, Riley mused – how he had saved the day by dressing up like a caveman and shooting his friends in the face!

Still, the strangest part of his day wasn't that a monster had turned his friends into strangers who'd nearly abandoned the team. Or that Ms Morgan knew where to get wigs in his and Koda's hairstyles with less than an hour's notice.

The strangest part was that after all that was over, they had to deal with something as mundane as luggage. The luggage which his friends had left at the bus stop when they'd run off to fight Shearfear. Which they were now running back to get.

He had never seen the Rangers run quite as fast, not even when confronting monsters.

'Come on, Riley - faster!'

They had to hope their bags were still there. If not, as Shelby put it, Sledge owed her new underwear.

As they rounded the corner to the bus stop, Riley saw the bags standing where they had left them. He breathed a sigh of relief. He and Koda watched as the other Rangers ran to their bags.

Koda put a hand to his ear. 'You hear that?'

There was yelling in the distance. 'Hold it right there!'

'What going on?'

Riley shrugged. 'Looks like they're after someone.'

Both of them stood bemused as security guards ran in their direction. The next thing Riley knew, he was flat on the ground.

'Hold it right there! You two are the ones who held up the bus station!'

His arms were twisted behind him. Something clicked at his wrists. From the corner of his eye he saw Koda on the ground too.

'You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be taken down and used against you in court.'

'Wait, what? There must be some mistake - '

The guard looked unimpressed. 'Tell it to the chief inspector.'
