He grabbed the rulerthat lay just inside the vent.What had just happened?! Super Turbo raced over to the door.

But he was sure that someoneor somethinghad just gone out it.“This looks like a bigger mystery than any one superhero can solve!”Turbo announced.5051When they had formed the Super- pet Superhero League, the Great Gecko had come up with a secret code the superpe
