325 27th Street was, indeed, the location of Perducci's hideout. Dangeresque opened the door and shouted, "PERDUCCI!" "Dangeresque!" said a voice from inside. "I see you found my hideout!" "And I'm not alone," said Dangeresque. "I know that," said Perducci. "You've got the other Dangeresque with you." "I wasn't talking about Dangeresque Too," said Dangeresque, "even though he is with me. I was talking about Odd Squad!" Olive, Otto, and Oscar entered the building with Dangeresque and Dangeresque Too. "Well," said Perducci, "I've got a surprise for you! I'm not alone, either!" "I know," said Dangeresque. "You've got your henchman with you." "No, not him," said Perducci. "I'm talking about The Haggler!" Perducci stepped aside to reveal The Haggler behind him. The Haggler looked like a midget version of Dangeresque Too with a blue shirt and a brown bowler hat. "AAaaAA-ha!" he said. "I've got you now, Dan-geresque! And Dan-geresque Too! And even Odd SquAAaaAAd!" "That guy is The Haggler?" asked Otto. "Yeah," said Dangeresque. "He can be hard to understand sometimes." "I know an Odd Squad agent who's like that," said Olive. Suddenly, Agent Obfusco appeared from behind The Haggler. "This guy," Obfusco said, talking about The Haggler, "reminds me of a flamingo with banana wings." "See what I mean?" Olive asked Dangeresque. "Um, we'll be right back," Dangeresque Too said to Perducci, and then he, Dangeresque, and the Odd Squad agents left the building.
"How should we handle those guys?" Dangeresque Too asked as soon as they were outside. "I think Obfusco should handle The Haggler," suggested Olive. "After all, they're both hard to understand." "But who should handle Perducci?" wondered Oscar. "I'll handle him," said Dangeresque. "I've known him for years!" "And the rest of us will rescue Octavia," said Otto. "Eight, eight," said Oscarbot Eight. "Four, four," added Oscarbot Four.
The Haggler is the Dangeresque counterpart I came up with for Homsar. He always calls Dangeresque "Dan-geresque".
Obfusco is the other agent I said would appear later in the story.
In the next chapter, a surprise character will show up. And it's not Renaldo.
