Ai and Red Alert deal with a cat and a lost boy.

Synopsis

After shooing the kitty-cat Cher off Red Alert's hood, Officer Ai Kuruma received a call about a little boy who'd gotten lost on his way to the market. Ai (dreaming of a commendation for finding the boy) followed the sound of crying, only to find it was Cher again, up in a tree. She climbed up the tree to rescue the kitty, but fell from the high branches. Thankfully, Red Alert caught her and the cat in time.

The cat scampered off, and the pair followed him...and ran across the lost little boy. But then, Cher stole a fish from the boy's grocery bag. Red Alert set his detector from "little boy" to "fish", and the two gave chase...
