When Nate discovers that there are people trying to steal

ideas from the company where his dad is employed, he

jumps at the chance to uncover them. Yes, he doesn't have any

detective experience and yes, they are criminals (per se) and might

be dangerous; he can handle it. Won't his dad be impressed when

he grabs the perps unless the perps nab him first. He faces more

to lose than just dignity. He has put himself plus his best friend

Zachary, who got dragged into this in a dangerous situation. The

outcome may not be what either of them want.
