The phone rings loudly, echoing through the tiny apartment.

"Cheeks, can you get that?" comes the shouted response from the green-suited figure in the kitchen, busily folding dishtowels into the shapes of various superhero insignias.

"Nevermind, you should focus on your homework anyway, I've got it!"

With a POP!, Ambush Bug vanishes from the kitchen, appearing in the living room by the phone and snapping it up.

"Schwab Detective Agency, Babysitting Service, and Superhero Understudy - Ambush Bug speaking, how may I help you?"

On hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Ambush Bug blanches white - or at least a slightly paler shade of green (a very impressive trick, considering that it's a suit, not his skin) - and hastily whispers.

"I'll be right there."

The phone is replaced in its cradle, and he looks to Cheeks.

"Keep working on that geometry, buddy. I'll call 'Mazing Man over to watch you - Daddy has to go run an errand."

"That's the spirit, kiddo."

A quick phone call, then a POP!, and he's gone. He arrives in similar fashion at the Metropolis Police Department's 42nd Precinct - after a few inquiries, he's shown to the holding cell area, where he espies a familiar figure.
