Response Time: To TheIndividualist, Thanks for saying so! To JOHNHAMMOND, you want to know who is a being a fat guy that takes dinosaur embryos? To mattTheWriter072, Claudia is best girl. To purplepancakes54, I just liked the idea of Violet starting out calm, before losing her temper. Also, Damon is shown to be remorseful, while still fighting the darkness in his head. Now, let's move to the next part, shall we?

Chapter 7: The Art of Sabotage

The children entered the room, looking worried. Charlie looked at them and said, "Come in." As they entered, Charlie pointed to the TV and said, "Have you guys seen this?"

They looked to see a news report, saying that the Wonka Factory has a spy in their factory. "There's a spy in the factory?!" Rouge asked.

Violet looked at her straight in the eye. "Don't feign stupidity, Rouge. I should thank Wonka for turning you into a cherry, because when you lie, your eyes turn red." Rouge looked at her reflection to see that her eyes were red. "How did you know about this? I want to know how you guys know about the spy."

Charlie said, "Calm yourself, Violet. The news could just be acting on rumors. Besides, they're smart kids. They probably would've figured it out anyway. But I must know, why did you leak it to the press?"

Jake said, "But we didn't leak it to the press!"

Charlie asked with a grin, "Then who did?"

Rouge added, "It could have been Mr. Wonka's father!" before shutting her mouth with her hands.

Charlie's face turned into the kind that a parent uses when they catch their kid in a lie. "Aha! How would you know about that? Only three people know about that meeting: Myself, Mr. Wonka, and Dr. Wonka's courier! Maybe you can tell me who the courier is?"

Claudia was about to say something but Max pulled her back. "I don't think that's a good idea to tell them about Damon," Max said.

Claudia whispered, "If they don't find out, they'll just ask Rouge, since she can't lie to her mother." She stood in front of Charlie and said, "It's Damon. Damon Woods was the courier, and he's in the kitchen helping us."

"WHAT!?" Everyone simultaneously shouted.

"Call the Police!" Veruca cried.

"Call his father!" Mike suggested.

Claudia cried, "No you can't!"

Charlie looked to Augustus and told him, "You're her father! Make her get him out of here!"

Augustus walked up to Claudia and knelt down in front of her. "Mein tochter, vat is ze matter? Vhy do you vant zhe boy here?"

Claudia stood up and said, "Because he's my boyfriend!"

"WHAT!?" Everyone simultaneously shouted again (including the children).

Claudia said, "That's right, and I will prove it!" She led everyone to the kitchen. "Damon? Where are you?" Damon was nowhere to be found, however. The blueprint was still on the table, and his food was still on the table. He had left his backpack behind.

"Are you positive he wasn't tricking you?" Charlie asked.

Claudia said, "If he was, would he have left the blueprint behind? He left his backpack, which has his tools in it. He wouldn't just leave it."

Violet asked, "So where'd he go, then?"

Rouge answered, "Well, he predicted that the new wing was the place the spy could hide. Maybe he went to check."

They went straight to the unfinished wing of the factory, which was unlit and looked like a house just beginning to be built. Either way, it was eerie looking. They spotted Damon, tied to a chair with a bruise on his face. "Damon!" Claudia cried.

"I'm okay. I was studying the blueprints, but I got attacked from behind. Bastard even hit me while I was out. I hate cheap shots," Damon grumbled.

Rouge said, "I know the feeling."

Damon said, "Rouge, he's got your brother, too. Jerome is tied up in a chair just up ahead. Make sure he comes back alive, or I'll never forgive myself. I can get out of these binds myself."

Rouge nodded and said, "I understand."

They ran further in, while Jake asked, "Did you just listen to Damon without getting pissed?" Rouge just shrugged her shoulders. Jake stopped everyone and shouted, "Look!"

There was a door with a single light on. Behind it, the room was slightly lit and looked lived in. In the middle, Jerome sat in a chair, tied up and gagged. "Jerome!" Rouge said. "You're okay!"

She hugged him and freed him of his bindings. But he suddenly said, "Guys, he's here!"

Behind them, a mysterious man in a black suit, black mask with a red emblem on it started laughing at them.

That's the chapter! Now what will happen, knowing the spy is indeed here? Stay tuned to find out!
