Meanwhile, in an abandoned convenience store, the rat, weasel, shrew, and crocodile were hogging up on cookies and milk.
"This is just like my sister use to make." the rat recalled.
"Snaptrap." the shrew said, "These are better than Ollie's cooking."
"Well, I do cook up chili with fish sauce sometimes," Ollie said.
"Why can't we fire Larry again?" asked the crocodile.
"He's my sister's husband Fransico," Snaptrap explained, "And if anything happened to him, she'll kill me."
Suddenly, a devilous alien with a big mustache came. "Mitch!" Snaptrap said as he turned his head, "You came just in time."
"So where are those Eco brats," Mitch asked in a British accent.
"Right here Mitch," Larry said as he showed the other Planeteers.
"Your missing one!" Mitch growled, "You forgot Linka, the one with Wind power who's good with music and birds!"
"We didn't get her because ladies don't talk to us," Fransisco explained.
"Do you realize that Gi is a girl?" Mitch asked in anger.
"Well, she looks boyish and Gi is a Vietnamese boy's name," Snaptrap recalled.
"According to her bio," Mitch explained. "She was born in Malaysia and her parents had a Vietnamese friend who died in a forest fire. They were also expecting a boy."
The 4 hostages started to wake up. "Where are we?" Ma-Ti asked.
"You're in our secret lair Kwame, Wheeler, Gi, and Ma-Ti," Snaptrap answered.
"Where's Suchi?" Ma-Ti asked in horror.
"Bring in the monkey!" Snaptrap shouted.
Ollie and Fransisco got out a spider monkey. There he bit Ollie and made a run for it.
"Run Suchi!" Ma-Ti shouted, "Find Linka!"
"I hope Linka is okay," Kwame said.
