Lieutenant Callaway was a busy man. He had police reports to fill in and have to patrol the city with Doyle in an hour. It had been a long day of work but soon he heard a knock on the door of his office. "Come in" in came Stanley Ipkiss and his wife Peggy Ipkiss. They had a very worried face and Stanley was holding a manila envelope. "What do you want Ipkiss" Callaway said with a glare. "Callaway we know we were never on good terms with each other but I need your help to save my daughter from Pretorius," said Stanley. "in exchange I will give you the mask and I swear never to use the mask again" Stanley took out the manila folder and pulled out a green wooden mask.

Callaway snatched the mask away from Stanley's hand. He turned it over studying the green wooden mask. It felt rough to the touch and he saw on the back a green shine was illuminating from it. "what is so special of this mask Ipkiss" said Callaway. "You always wanted to know how I become The Mask, this mask is the cause of it. Whoever puts it on gets the power of Loki sealed inside and Loki's crazed personality" explained Stanley. Callaway held the front part of the mask to his face. 'this thing is what gave me wedgies and was the annoying thorn in my side all this time' thought Callaway. "if that is true then why don't you use it and save your so called 'daughter' " said Callaway as he dropped the mask on the table. "If what you said is true then why do you want my help" he continued. "The mask hasn't been working correctly since Peggy's pregnancy. It can only work for only a short period of time before falling off," explained Stanley. "That is why we need your help. You know that I ma the mask and would love to shut me down in the vigilante business for good. This is your chance to finally get rid of The Mask Callaway" said Stanley. Callaway looked at him then the mask on the table. It was true he did want to get rid of The Mask. That same mask humiliated him in front of so many people and live public television. "Fine Ipkiss I will help, but just make things clear after this there will be no Mask period," said Callaway. He got up from his desk and shoved the mask in his coat pocket Stanley they got into their cars an drove to the laboratory.

At the laboratory

They drove up to the side of the Laboratory and Callaway got out of his car and took out a 9mil. Beretta pistol and gave Stanley a Desert eagle. "if you are coming with me you better arm yourself," said Callaway. Stanley just nodded and took the gun from Callaway. "Peggy you stay here I don't want you to get hurt," said Stanley. "But Stanley I- " began Peggy then Callaway interrupted her. "I have to agree with Ipkiss its best you leave this to the professionals," said Callaway. Peggy thought about it for a moment "fine just be careful for me Stanley," She said as she placed a hand on his cheek then kissed him passionately on the lips. "Don't worry Peggy I promise I will bring back Elizabeth and stop Pretorius. It ends today you can guarantee that from me," said Stanley. "Hurry up Ipkiss if we wait any longer the less chances you might have to save your daughter," Said Callaway as he walked to the building. Stanley nodded and followed close behind Callaway.

They went to the entrance and Stanley was about to open the door when he was stopped by Callaway. "No to easy, they might be expecting that we have to find a different entrance" said Callaway. "Your right there might be traps near the entrance we have to find another way in" said Stanley. They scanned the makeshift fortress when they noticed a sewer drain nearby down on their right. They climbed down the steep slope and headed over to the drain. Callaway pulled of the grate and they started up the drain.
