The plot thickens as Benny and Griff dig deeper into the mystery of the missing Rainbow Marble! Their investigation leads them to the shabby Dockside Fish Co., where a suspicious pelican vendor with a mechanical eye seems oddly nervous about their questions. When they discover a stained piece of museum uniform hidden among the fish, they know they're onto something big.

The trail takes our detectives into the shadows of Warehouse Alley, where danger lurks around every corner. As night falls, they stake out a mysterious midnight delivery at Dock 7B, only to witness a shadowy figure loading a crate marked with that strange spiral-inside-a-triangle symbol. A heart-pounding chase ensues when they're spotted, and though the suspect escapes into the dark waters, Benny and Griff make a startling discovery—the abandoned crate contains what appears to be one of Professor Mixum's inventions!

Who is this mysterious "Collector" that keeps surfacing in their investigation? What do they want with the Rainbow Marble? And how does it all connect to the legendary hybrid scientist's work? The case grows more dangerous—and more personal—by the minute as our heroes race to uncover the truth before it's too late!
