Honey, if he's such a big bully,

isn't the note a little forceful?

The kid was choking me, Mom...

I'm not gonna write him a love letter.

Look, this is what happens

when you're the new kid.

Come on, Roy,

I'm the new kid at work.

You don't see me

getting into fist fights at the office.

No offense, Dad...

but you don't have to ride

the school bus to work.

Just...

Just let me know

when we're moving again.

# Florida, I know ya #

# I'll be hidin' from me... #

There were a total of six gators, sir.

The largest being four feet even...

the smallest being, uh... 24 inches.

Eh, probably just a bunch of kids

screwin' around.

Well, that was my original assumption...

but with all due respect,

Captain, I mean...

h-how many kids do you know

that could handle a four-foot alligator?

I think we're dealing

with, uh, you know...

with a maybe more

sophisticated syndicate...

you know, somebody that really has it in

for, uh, Mother Paula's...

you know, possibly a... a revenge type deal.

- Revenge?

- Yes.

Like, you know, a... a rival pancake house.

That's a great piece of police work,

Officer Delinko.

And then also l...

Hey, look, Sherlock...

there are no other pancake houses

in Coconut Cove.

I got the mayor calling me about...

"Coconut Cove's economy

needs Mother Paula's."

So, go rub those two little brain cells

of yours together...

then get out there and catch the punks...

that are messin'

with that construction site.

No need to worry, sir, I am on the case.

I'm all over it.

That's precisely what I'm worried about.

Nobody in the history

of Trace Middle School...

has ever hit a Matherson before.

- You're a legend already.

- Look...

Look, I'm glad I can

make my mark on history.

OK, look... Iook, I wrote him a note

and that should be the end of it.

A note?

That's adorable.

What'd you say?

"Sorry I smoked you...

"please don't break every bone in my body.

"Please leave me one good arm

so I can feed myself."

You're hysterical.

We've got a game to win.

Let's be a team for once.

What do you know about

that girl over there?

That's Beatrice the Bear.

Please don't tell me

you messed with her, too.

What is it with you, man?

I mean, seriously?

She jumped all over me for some reason,

I'm just tryin' to figure out why.

What's her story?

She's a major soccer jock with attitude.

First Dana Matherson,

now Beatrice the Bear...

You must have a serious death wish, bro.

Officer David Delinko,

case number 0-niner-0...

Codename... Flapjack.

The time is now...

Still no sound.

Still no visuals.

Just me and the night.

A Ione wolf...

stalking his prey.

Ho!

OK...

Whew.

OK, everything's under control.
