On the 14th February, Whizzy alerted Jack on a new case.
“ There is a problem,there is a problem “.
Jack half awake replied :
” What is the problem ?”
He said to him ” In Toronto, a man has disappeared !“
Jack answered :
” Lots of people disappear in the world” .
“Yes but this one is someone important “
” Ok but who is it then ?“.
” He is Pascal Siakam, the famous player of the Toronto Raptors” , Whizzy told him.
” No ! how is that possible? “
He answered back to Jack :
” I don’t know how he has disappeared, you must help the GPF to find out.“
” Ok I’m taking my plane ticket to Toronto ! “
” Have a good trip ! “ Whizzy told Jack .
Arrived in Toronto, Jack went to the police station to ask them if they knew that Pascal Siakam had disappeared.
So Jack said :
” Hello sir, my name is Jack, I am a Secret Agent, do you know that Pascal Siakam has disappeared ? “
“Yes it is very sad news – and he had a NBA game tonight...” he said.
” Ah what is the game ? “
” The game is the Toronto Raptors versus the Memphis Grizzlies “.
they said to Jack.
And Jack asked :
” If I find Pascal before tonight can he play for the game ? “
they answered :
” Yes but the game is at 9 p.m. and Pascal must be found before 7 p.m. “
And Jack concluded :
” Ok it’s all for me, Bye Bye.”
The next morning Jack hadn’t found him yet but he was ready to do it.

First, Jack went to buy a double double to clear his spirit. There were so many people in Toronto. He thought Pascal could also have been travelling all around the world with his wife. Jack started to visit Toronto… On his way, he met a student, her name was Sherry, she was very cool with him… She told him that she went to the last match of Pascal, and he had won. But he was very stressed and anxious. He bought a poutine for Sherry to thank her. Then Jack went to the stadium but his mum phoned, and he answered :
“When will you be home ?” she asked.
“Not soon, I prefer to investigate on the disappearance” he added.
He went to the stadium to get information from some friends of Pascal. The stadium was so bigl and modern !
He spoke with a friend of Pascal :
“Where were you when Pascal went away ?” he asked.
” I was in my house with my wife and my children,” he added.
“And was Pascal anxious during his last match ?“
“Oh no ! He was very cool and crazy,” He laughed out loud.
“Ok Ok … and was he a very good friend or did he act badly and strictly ?” He asked.
” Oh… He was cool with me. But I prefer his wife, she is very beautiful…”
“His wife ?” He accused him.
“Oh… I…I… I’m sorry, I mean, they’re a nice couple,” He hesitated.
” What is your name by the way?” He asked.
“Jean…Jean… Jean Philippe” He hesitated again.
“Thanks…“
Then, Jack went to a pub. By thinking at it again, he found Jean Philippe very weird …

Jack went to a restaurant to buy maple syrup food.
Jack questioned the bartender to find out if Pascal Siakam had already come to eat or drink in this restaurant.
” Hello sir have you already met Pascal in your restaurant ? “
” Hello, yes I saw him a week ago around 8 a.m.”
Then, he added : “ Pascal did not come alone. ”
“I see … do you know if it was a woman or a man?“
” No I’m sorry.”
” Thank you for all this information. Contact me if you know a few more things. “
“Yes do not worry. “
“Bye bye.”
Jack went then to meet Pascal‘s coach.
“Good morning sir, I am Jack, I’m investigating on the disappearance of Pascal Siakam who disappeared a week ago. ”
“What can i do for you ? “
” I’m going to ask you questions you just have to answer them. Have you seen Pascal recently ? “
He hesitated a few seconds before answering.
” Two weeks ago ”
” Where was it? “
” I saw him at the old basketball court. “
” Thank you for this information, bye bye. “

After having talked with 2 people already, Jack had no more ideas or clues. Jack saw that another player had volontarily left the basketball team. Jack wanted to see what was going on. Jack gave an appointment to Cyril, the player who had left the team in order to speak to him.
” Hello Cyril”
” Hello Jack “
“I would like to speak with you about Pascal ” Asked Jack.
” oh ! Yes… ” replied Cyril
” Jack was my friend, but we argued” Announced Cyril.
” Why ? “
” I discovered that weird things were going on between him and the sports administration but they saw that I had discovered that they were not honest, so I told Pascal about it wanting to help him but after this, he disappeared and I left my team because I felt unsecure . “
“Woah, what was the problem with the administration ? “
“I can’t talk about it, you should infiltrate the administration”
“ok thanks Cyril, good bye”
“bye”
Jack had to infiltrate the administration with one of his gadgets : the Transformation visuals given by the GPF. Jack went to the sports administration to search for clues.

Wizzy turned on and woke Jack up at night – she spat a new destination on the ceiling.
« What is the problem ?» Jack said.
« The problem is … a human bear! We must arrest Doctor Aghamin because he has created a Monster » Wizzy said.
« You must teleport me » Jack answered.
He used his Magic Map then he was teleported to Toronto. Jack was happy because for this mission he could use his Map Mate, his Motion Senor, his Decoder Language, his Honey Net and his Mega Taser.
The gadgets were for several uses.
Wizzy : to identify the next country of the next mission.
The Magic Map : to teleport Jack to the mission.
The Motion Senor: to receive a signal from any satellite.
The Decoder Language: to reveal any secret language.
The Honey Net: to attract villains.
The Mega Taser: the taser to fight the villains.
Jack met his first witness in the biggest park of Toronto:
«How was the human bear you saw? » Jack said.
« I saw the monster , he is such a big monster »he said.
“ Apparently it is a human bear but since it was at night, I couldn’t see it really » he added.
« But what I know is that Aghamin mixed a substance of a human and of a bear in the Evil Lake » he concluded.

“Ho it’s cold, it is very cold here”
Jack’s watch phone showed photos of the witnesses, there was Thao, he was big, he had brown hair and he had brown eyes and there was Bob, he had got green hair and he had got red eyes.
Jack’s phone showed on his GPS where the witnesses were.
“It is easy”.
He started with Thao. He met him at CN tower in Toronto.
“hello my name is Jack”
“hello my name is Thao”
“Where can I find the Blue Jays to interview some players ?“
“The Blue Jays train and live in the north of Toronto”
“Thank you very much Thao”
Jack went to the stadium. But there, he could not believe his eyes…
“OMG, it is a bear!”
When a voice told him behind him :
“They are robots”
“where from?”
“Robots are from a lab”
“who created them?”
“It is Doctor Aghanim”
“But you what is your name”
“My name is Bob and you?”
“It ‘s Jack”
But he couldn’t really see the man who had just helped him because he immediately disappeared…
Jack went to look for Doctor Aghanim to solve this case.

Chapter 4 (By Maxence)
Jack had a new clue. But he didn’t know if this doctor was really the creator of the human-bears. It was very creepy for him. It was now night and Jack was hungry. He wanted to eat food with maple syrup. There was a fast-food in the street where Jack was now. He sat down on a chair and waited. He went to the desk to take his order because no one came. But he stopped because he saw a mysterious person sat at the corner of the desk. He got closer to him, but he was stopped by a voice. This voice said :
“Jack. You are making a big mistake, HA HA! Go to the mountains.”
“But there are no mountains around 100 kms”, said Jack.
He ran outside the restaurant. But he fell down in a hole. Fortunately, he landed on snow. There was a long path. Jack thought that it was an imaginary world. Maybe this path led to infinity. He started to walk faster. It was very strange. But Jack saw a shade in the sky. He now ran as fast as he could ! But the shade, now facing Jack, started running after Jack...

‘Did you hear that ?’William asked.
‘Yes…’answered Jack.
‘Look down there.’William cried.
‘Aaaah a bear! RUN!’
A man suddenly came up behind the bear with a gun and shot at him but it was only to put him to sleep.
‘thanks man…’thanked Jack
‘Francis Blear, but you can call me Francis – what about you?’ He asked.
‘I’am Jack Stallwart’
‘And I’am William Ranger’
‘This bear should not be here!’said Francis.
‘We are investigating on bear disappearance you know’
‘I’am the forest guard and it’s been a long time since i have seen a bear here. They have their own area but they are not supposed to hang around here where humans live. Well, I’m going to call a rescue team to take him to the zoo before putting him back where he should be. Good bye young people.’
‘Bye Francis.’
Suddenly, Jack saw something on the floor.
Jack grabbed it, it was a hat.
‘It’s awesome ! It’s a blue jays cap ! We should definitely meet them.’
‘Yes i have always wanted to go and see one of their matches’ said William.
And they went to a Blues Jay’s match.

‘That’s why we‘re here.’
‘We found a blue jays cap where we saw a lost bear back to the forest a few hours ago you know.’
‘Are you accusing us?!’He cried out.
‘I don’t…’
‘Come on, Jacob, let’s go.’
‘Mmmmh I wonder why Matt is mad like that.’ Jack told William.
‘I don’t know … and what if we were going to see the bear at the zoo?” William asked.
‘Good idea.’ said Jack.
And they went to the zoo.
Once there, Jack put his headset to translante the voice of the bear.
‘Hey ! can you understand me?’ he said to the bear.
‘Yes ! but how can you do that? Said the bear.
‘I have a gadget that allows me to understand you but i have a question to ask you : do you remenber how you got there?’ He asked.

Jack went to the Toronto stadium to watch his friend playing. He played for the Blue Jays, his name was John. After the match, Jack asked him :
“Hey John, how are you ?”
John answered :
“Hey, I’m not very fine, Mr Zycrad, my coach, doesn’t come to train us very often these days, I’m not reassured, I don’t know what’s going on.”
Jack reassured him :
“don’t worry, are you sure ?!”
And john answered :
“No, no, no… I’m sure, really, I’m sure… To be honest, I even followed him and saw him going into a lab.”
Jack said :
“Oh, I’ll see what I can do.”
John answered :
“thank you, bro, see you soon.”
Jack went to watch his director, Jerry, to explain to him about John’s story. In his headquarters, the director gave Jack’s gadgets and said :
“So, for this mission, you have : a gun of maple syrup, an invisibility cloak, a teleporting tool and a baseball ball. Your mission : You have to go through the stadium locker room with your cloak of invisibility. Iin this locker room, search everywhere. You’ll find a red button, press it, then the door to the lab will open up, but ONLY if you give the code that you’ll also find in the locker room. For the rest, I’ll give you the instructions later.”
Jack answered :
“Ok, thank you boss.”
In the evening, Jack was preoccupied by the rest of the instructions, so he went to eat a good poutine to cheer him up.
The next day, Jack received the final instructions on a letter from the director, which said :
“Find the Blue Jays coach, put him to prison and let the b… free.“
Jack said :
“Oh the last word is not clear, well, that’s okay, my mission starts now anyway…”

He went to see John to let him knwo about his discovery.
” yes what that’s going on?“
Jack told him:

Then Jack explained what he sad seen:
“So i discovered a laboratory while looking for your coach and I found bears in cages and pictures of more bears very rare.“

Jack called his boss because once in the forest, he found hair and a piece of the t-shirt he had that belonged to a human body who probably died in the forest.
He inspected with his equipment and thought that the victim had been eaten by a bear. He had to capture the bear so that they couldn’t kill anymore anyone !
Jack thought of luring the bear with maple syrup because bears love sugar. So he went to buy maple syrup at the supermarket and went back to the forest.
