Jackson suggests a number of solutions, all rejected for various reasons. Jackson then agrees to meet with the business man, who point blank refuses to sell, no matter how much Jackson tries to sweeten the deal. Back at HQ Jackson is convinced he's seen the man before and goes through his records till he identifies the bank robber and a number of his associates. We discover the businessman has dug under the lot and is tunneling to a nearby bank. A curious child discovers what is going on and sounds the secret squadron alarm. Jackson arrives, a fist fight breaks out and all the criminals are apprehended. Jackson makes arrangements for the vacant lot to be returned to open land and the boys to never have their baseball diamond threatened again Written by glen_chapman See less
