The elevator doors slid open to reveal the TUBE station. The tinted windows of the sleek white train were gleaming, like someone had spent the last hour shining the copper-colored glass. Spencer had to stop himself from sprinting across the platform and onto the train. He didn’t want to seem too excited. Instead, he calmly stepped out of the elevator and looked over the TUBE, just like he thought an experienced operative reporting for duty would.

“I would imagine B.D. and Yude are already here somewhere,” Professor Weaver said, stepping out from behind Spencer and swinging his head from side to side. “But I’ll go see.” The bear took off toward the first car of the train, where two members of the guard were running a security check.

Aldo came to stand beside Spencer. “Last time I was on the TUBE, I was the guard member making the security check. I didn’t expect to go from checking the train to riding it so soon.”

“Last time I was on the TUBE, I had to hide in a cardboard box to even make it out of the station,” Spencer replied. “At least this time I’m on the team from the beginning.” He noticed Aldo was chewing on something. “What are you eating anyway? It smells … spicy.”

“Ginger root,” Aldo answered, sending a puff of the sweet and spicy scent right into Spencer’s face.

“Gross!” Spencer waved the bear’s breath away.

“It doesn’t taste much better than it smells,” Aldo shrugged. “But Pinky told me ginger root eases pain. And it does make my teeth feel better.”

“What’s wrong with your teeth?” Spencer tried to peer into Aldo’s mouth. The bear sealed his lips together, hiding his fangs.

“Just another toothache,” he growled after a few seconds. “The honey’s sweet enough to be worth a little tooth pain, though.” Aldo added. He licked his lips theatrically.

Spencer laughed. If he loved honey half as much as Aldo did, he’d probably have a toothache, too, and plenty of cavities.

B.D. and Professor Weaver emerged from the front car of the TUBE, deep in conversation. Spencer and Aldo straightened up as the older bears approached.

“Aldo, Spencer, we’ll start the briefing soon,” Professor Weaver said, before stepping onto the passenger car himself. “Time to board the train, operatives.”

Spencer and Aldo hurried across the platform. Boarding the TUBE, Spencer was impressed all over again by how cool the passenger car was. He especially liked the seats shaped like nautilus shells. The segmented hood on top of each seat could be pulled down to seal a passenger inside a reclined, pearly cocoon.

Yude’s green cloak was draped over the side of one of the seats, and Spencer chose to sit as far from the sour bear as possible. He sank into his own cozy shell just as B.D. slid the door at the front of the passenger car open. “We’ll be moving in the next five minutes.” He glanced out the window. “But we might as well begin the briefing.” He disappeared back into the car he had just come from.
