The young man nervously smiled at Swaggy, who had just given up Skipper to be rushed to professional help.

"Hey." panted the young man, and Swaggy turned to look at him.

"Hello." she said caucously.. 

"My name's Timothy." he said, holding out his hand to shake. Swaggy took his hand, shaking it briefly.

"I'm Swaggy, but you probably know that."

"Yeah. I hope I don't seem to nosy, but how do you know this girl?"

"Well, It's my duty to protect Paradox, no?"

Timothy leaned in. "It's okay, I know she's Foxi." before leaning back. Swaggy laughed nervously. 

"What? Where would yo get that idea?" she said nervously. He laughed. "Busted." he said. 

She paused, before sighing. "Don't tell anyone." she muttered. He nodded. "Secrets safe with me."

She placed a hand on her ear, paused for a moment, and said "I should go. See you later, Timothy."

"See you." he replied, watching her walk out before following afterwards.

"Now who might you be... Swaggy..."

"What. The. Heck." muttered Ryft, as the group sat around the table. 

"How would he know that? Everyone knows Sherlock isn't real!" Shouted Raven, groaning.

"This is so annoying! Soon he'll find all of us and blow our cover! And that would be disasterous!" cried Spark, leaning back in her chair.

Ryft was acting a lot like her "son", and was beginning to ignore the conversation entirely, thinking about things her own way. 

"I say we just kill him." said Ivy.

"I agree." said Travis.

"Travis, Ivy, we're the good guys! We don't kill people just for our safety!" said Stephanie, annoyed.

"I say we keep a close eye on him, making sure he doesn't find us out or tell anyone." said Raven.

"Okay, sounds good." said Stephanie. 

"Fine." growled Ivy, Travis and Spark nodding reluctantly.

"No." said Ryft, opening her eyes and giving each person an intense stare.

"Jeez, calm down." said Raven, and the group sat back down.

"What's the plan, boss?" said Ivy, annoyed.

"We invite him to the Squad. With skills such as his own, he could be a useful asset to our team. And, it is the only way to ensure our safety."

It was dead silent.

"I think the Squad can't just blindly invite strangers! We have to know him for, like, years!" said Spark.

"We befriend him, then." said Stephanie. "I think we should try befriending him."

"Sounds good!" said Raven.

"I guess it's a alright plan..." said Travis. "I agree." he said, Spark nodding after a pause.

"I guess I have no choice." growled Ivy.

Then it was settled. The Squad would have to befriend possibly the best hacker or detective ever. Or just Sherlock. Whatever you want to call him, I don't care.

"Huh...?" groaned Skipper, opening her eyes. As the world before her came into focus, she saw a farmilar man looking at her.

"Hey... you're the man who saved me from the alleyway..." she said.

"Yup. That's me. Name's Timothy, you?"

"Skipper. Nice to meetcha. And thank you."

"No problem! Just your friendly neighborhood Timothy."

Suddenly, the door burst open to reveal a very annoyed Ivy. Travis was right behind her, with Spark at his side. And behind them was Ryft and Raven.

"SKIPPER!" screamed Spark, pushing past Ivy and tackling her with a hug. Skipper grunted in pain, but returned the hug.

The rest of the Squad walked up to her, smiling and apologizing for not realizing sooner that it was not her.

"Guys, have you met Timothy?" asked Skipper, pointing to the man who had stepped to the back.

Immideatly, the remainder of The Squad was silent and glaring at Timothy.

"I take it you have?" said Skipper nervously.

"Yes... Timothy here has some - valuable information." said Travis.

"What do you mean?" asked Skipper.

"I know who you are." said Timothy, and Skipper widened her eyes and gave the Squadders a expectant look.

"Timothy, we were hoping to get to know you better, to decide if a secret such as that would be safe with you." said Ryft.

"I'll agree, as long as it's Skipper." said Timothy.

Skipper shrugged. "Sure, fine with me."
