There was someone under Cody’s bed! Cody leapt off the bed and ran for the door. Just then, Zip Velocity rolled out and stood up.
“Zip Velocity?” Cody asked, in amazement.
“That’s me. Now, did you see a hairy beast run past?”

Zip Velocity has captured Baron von Hairy and is flying him back to headquarters when an engine fails.
“Don’t worry, my apprehended ape,” Zip says. “We have three engines left, but the flight will take an extra hour.”
Half an hour later, another engine dies. “Panic not, my seized simian, we still have two engines left, but now the flight will take an extra two hours,” Zip declares.
Not long after that, another engine stops working. “Aha, my chained chimp, we can make it on one engine, but now the flight will take an extra three hours,” assures Zip.
Baron von Hairy rattles his cage bars and shouts back, “Just don’t lose another engine, Zip, or we’ll be up here all day!”
