Birdie

Hey

Holliday

That was close

Cyrus

No that was perfect

Holliday

Birdie cant keep a secret. What if she tells mom and dad?

Cyrus

No, not birdie. The hoverboard, it finally turned back on. Which means we can track down Badger. That's what I came here to tell you. Check out this app I downloaded. You can use it to measure different frequencies but I hacked the source code so instead of measuring frequencies it lets you track down the signal's origin.

Holliday

Like the signal that turned on the board, the signal badger sent

Cyrus

Yup, all we have to do is turn on the app and follow the map

Holliday

Cyrus, I have never been happier to have a geek for a brother in my life! Lets go

[Scene change to outside]

Cyrus

Man we’ve been walking through these woods for hours

Holliday

Its been 35 minutes

Cyrus

Maybe we should give up for today, its getting dark. Mom and dad are going to send out a search party

[The app starts beeping]

Holliday

That sounds good, is it good?

Cyrus

It means were close, i think its coming from the old radio tower over there

Holliday

Its huge

Cyrus

Thats as located as were going to get but, i think hes here, somewhere

Holliday

Lets split up, you go left i'll go right, text if you see anything

Cyrus

Got it, holliday, be careful

Holliday

Badger

Holliday

Cyrus

Holliday

Badger

Badger

I underestimated you but you may have just exposed us to…
