"C'mon, Brittany," said Alex. "If we move much slower, we're going to be late meeting Sam and Clover!"

            Brittany sped up to keep up with Alex's pace.  They were of course, heading to the Beverly Hills Mall, the spies' favorite hangout spot.  It was in sight now, and they duo entered through the main doors. 

"They're meeting us at the Groovy Smoothie Shack," said Alex, as her compowder beeped. She flipped it open. Brittany scanned the crowd for them and didn't spot them.

            "They're not here."

            "Hang on; I'm answering a call," Alex said, pressing her finger to her lips to signify silence. She looked at the screen of her compowder, but only fuzzy gray lines and static met her gaze. "Hmm." she announced, closing it.

            "Do you see them?" asked Brittany.

            "No," said Alex. "I haven't looked yet."

            "Oh," said Brittany.

    Do Do Do Do Do Dum...  The catchy tune on Brittany's compowder rang.

            "Mine," said Brittany.  Alex had begun to reach for her own.

            She flipped open the main panel and Clover's familiar face flashed onto the screen.

            "Clover?" said Brittany. "Where are you?  You're late."

            "Brittany! Thank goodness you answered, me and Sam-" she continued talking but static crackled and Brittany didn't catch her next words. Clover's face reappeared. "-tried to call Alex on her (static) but it (static) don't know where Sam is and (static) your help! Call Jerry and tell (static) Please!" she cried as the connection broke.

    "Who was it?" asked Alex.

            "Clover, and I think she needs our help," said Brittany.

            "Our help, but what can we do?"  Asked Alex, being as naïve as usual.

            "Call ol' Jerry and alert him of the situation."  Brittany was quick on her feet, and pressed a few buttons on the control panel of her compowder.  Jerry's face appeared on the screen.

            "Good day ladies, what can I do for you?" 

            "Jerry, I'm sending you a message just received from Clover.  Tell me what you think of it."  Brittany pressed a few more buttons, and the sending screen appeared on the compowder.  Alex admired Brittany.

            Seconds later, the floor opened under their feet, and they fell through.  Alex dug her nails into Brittany's arm and screamed on the way down.  Brittany, being a more advanced spy, didn't scream, only flinched.

            "It appears the two have been kidnapped."

            "No duh, geezer," said Alex.

           "Stereotyping will get you no where Alex," said Jerry, doing a sweat drop.

            "Get back to the issue," said Brittany, all business.  "By who were they kidnapped?"

 
            "WOOHP is tracing the call as they speak, as for the kidnappers; you'll have to find that out.  We have arranged for a helicopter to pick you up."  Jerry stated, cleared his throat. "Now for your gadgets, this week you will be receiving extendable cable bungee-belts, jetpack backpacks, laser lipsticks, scanner wristwatches, and just-sticky enough gloves. He threw them their packs. "Ta ta," he waved and pressed a button sending the down a long chute into one of the WOOHP helicopters, pink of all colors, with a giant heart shaped windshield.
