Terrell stood in the subway station with the other riders. Detective Smith was shining a flashlight on the tracks.
"When can we get out of here?" a woman moaned. "I'm late for work."
"Please be patient," Detective Smith said. "I have more questions about the robbery."
"I wish Roxy was here," Terrell thought. "She could get my science project back in no time."
Just then Roxy appeared.
Terrell grinned.
"Hey, Detective Smith," Roxy called. "What are you looking for—subway rats?"
He frowned. "That's not funny, Rocket Girl. I'm actually looking for a subway spider."
Terrell watched Roxy talk to Detective Smith for a few minutes. She was too far away to notice him. Finally Detective Smith pointed, and Roxy flew off.
"Roxy will be back soon," Terrell thought. "Then I can go to the science fair."
Terrell glanced to the right. Something was moving around in the dark subway tunnel. It was Black Spinneret!
Terrell gulped. "I should tell Detective Smith. But if I do, Black Spinneret will get away. Hey! This might be a job for Danger Dude!"
Terrell made sure no one was watching. He stepped closer to the tracks. Then he jumped down and ran after the villain.
Black Spinneret darted through the tunnel. Terrell followed her to a door marked Danger. She slipped inside.
Terrell peeked through a crack in the door. Inside a tiny room, Black Spinneret was dumping her sack. Stolen goods spilled all over the floor.
"This must be her subway hideout," Terrell thought.
The villain frowned as she looked at Terrell's project. "I don't want this junk! I quit my train conductor job to steal and get rich!"
Terrell gasped as she kicked the device.
A second later Black Spinneret threw open the door. Terrell hid behind it as she left. Then he hurried into the hideout.
"Phew! My project is okay!" As Terrell stood up, he saw something. Large sheets of paper were taped to the wall.
"Design plans," Terrell thought. "They're for Black Spinneret’s harness! Hmm. She moves her legs by sending them electrical signals. I wonder if . . ."
Across the city, people in fancy clothes were at a garden party. It was on the roof of the Grand Metro Tower. Two long black legs gripped the edge of the rooftop. A second later the rest of Black Spinneret appeared.
"Put up your hands, rich people!" She leaped onto a table. "This is a robbery!"
