Spring Break Race Against Time (Part 2):
The girls recover rapidly. Their temperature has held at 98.6° for two days now. The staff of the hospital believes that it is safe to let them go home. The girls and their families want to personally thank the mysterious Dr. Harry, as do the other cured patients, but he can't be found. When the hospital tries to contact him at Cambridge, they are startled to find that no one by that name has ever worked there. The hospital releases the gals on Tuesday night.
The gals are still weak, and two more days at home are the treatment. Some home cooking and familiar surroundings can only help them on the road to recovery! The gals keep in contact via compowder every day. Finally, on Friday the gals feel well enough to go to the Mall. Their parents give a collective sigh of relief! Everything is back to normal.
While at the Mall, the gals' compowders ring. They all answer. It's Jerry.
"Well, it sure is good to see the three of you out and about again! How are you feeling?" Jerry has talked to each of them at least once a day while they were sick.
"Pretty good, Jerry!", says Sam.
"Good! Thanks for asking, Jer.", says Clover.
"Good also, Jerry! Thanks for your concern over these past few days!", says Alex.
"Not at all, Alex! I'm just glad that my spy team is functional again! Do you gals feel up to a mission?", asks Jerry.
"I do!", says Clover.
"Me too!", says Alex.
"But do we have to get WOOHP'd?", asks Sam.
"No, Sam. If you gals would prefer, I'll send a WOOHP copter to pick you up!", says Jerry.
"I'd like that. I'm not really ready for a WOOHPing yet!", says Sam.
"Me neither!", says Clover and Alex in unison.
So Jerry sends a WOOHP copter to the roof of the Mall, where it picks up the three gals. They change into their jumpsuits before they arrive at WOOHP.
Entering his office, Jerry beams a big smile as the girls walk over to their landing cushion and take their usual seats. "It's good to see you girls with some natural color in your cheeks! I take it you have no traces left of that nasty fever?"
"That's true, Jerry! The fever is gone.", says Clover.
"Jerry, have you been able to find out anything about this Dr. Harry, who cured us?", asks Sam.
"Not a thing, Sam!", says Jerry. He has never told the spies that he was Dr. Harry. He didn't think it was necessary. After all, isn't that what he's supposed to do? Help the spies, if he can? That's his job. "Dr. Harry must be Harry Houdini! I can't find a Dr. Harry on any hospitals' roster who would have been in Beverly Hills this past Sunday!"
Jerry continues "I can tell the three of you how you got sick, however. You each were infected with a bacterium that had infested the water you swam in. It was absorbed through your skin. Dr. Harry was able to cure the patients, and the WOOHP lab was able to neutralize the bacteria in the water, to make the beach safe again for use."
"What's our mission, Jerry?", asks Sam.
"Sam, I have been able to isolate a lead on a man seen dumping a large amount of liquid into the water the day before you were infected. We believe he is linked to this situation. His name is Abi. Your mission is to find out what Abi knows about this phenomena. Now for your gadgets: laser lipsticks; bungee belts; jet-suction-drill go-go boots; high magnification binoculars, with nightvision; tracker hair barrettes; and lastly a vaccine that will provide you immediate immunity to this disease, should you become exposed to the bacterium again.
"As for transportation, you can use either K.I.R.T.T. or your voice jet cycles ."
Of course, the gals have no trouble convincing Jerry to let them use both.
K.I.R.T.T. transforms into a king cab pick-up, with a towing sled carrying the cycles, and the gals are off.
Sam is driving.
"Where do we find Abi?", asks Clover.
"He's supposed to be a student at Bryersly College. We'll see if we spot him there. If we do, we can follow him.", says Sam.
At Bryersly College, the gals bungee to the top of a tree, each using a set of high magnification binoculars to scan the campus.
After five hours of observation, it appears that this lead was a bust. But just as they are about to quit, Clover says "Hold up, gals! We may have our quarry! Look!" and all three gals look in the same direction as Clover. Yes that is Abi, and he is acting strangely. He is continuously looking around to see if someone is following him. He then gets into his car and starts driving. Quickly, Sam deploys her air gun and shoots a tracking barrette at the car.
"OK, spies! Let's follow him!", and the gals bungee down to K.I.R.T.T.
Sam turns on the tracker, and they are getting a strong signal to follow. She decides to follow about one mile behind Abi, so as not to raise his suspicion. Abi drives for about an hour, into the Rocky Mountains. As he enters the mountains, Sam speeds up so that the gals can keep Abi in visual contact as well as tracker contact.
All of the sudden, as Abi rounds a corner, his car disappears! The gals look in all directions for him, because they can see that he is still headed east. They can't afford to lose the signal, so the gals park K.I.R.T.T. and employ their jet go-go boots. Abi emerges from a cave about two miles from where K.I.R.T.T. is parked and gets back on the road.
Sam, Clover, and Alex each hit their cycle remotes and the jet cycles are there in two minutes. They get on the cycles, don their helmets and start tracking Abi again. This time, they plan to be right on top of him.
Within a few miles, the gals can see Abi's car. They pull to within 500 feet and follow. Finally, Abi turns off into what looks like a deserted ranch. He parks his car in the barn, and enters the ranch house.
The gals park their cycles out of sight and cautiously approach the ranch house. They look through a back window, into a deserted room. Quietly, Clover lasers a hole in the door for the gals to enter. They are listening for conversation, or any other noise to tip off where Abi is.
They begin to explore the ranch house, only to find it empty!
"It can't be empty! We saw Abi enter!", says Alex.
"Then there must be a secret panel, or door somewhere!" says Sam.
But as the girls start searching, the room they are in fills with sleeping gas! They are knocked out.
"Snoopers, eh? We have a way of dealing with snoopers!", says Abi.
"Muimar! Ali! Put them into the water, up to their necks and fill the water with the bacteria! We won't have to worry about them ever again!"
The spies awake in the pool of water. They can see that something has been put in the water, and guess that it is the bacteria that got them hospitalized. Thank goodness for the immunization! Quickly, the gals laser their bonds and the door. They have to find Abi.
Searching down a corridor, they see a door ajar. Sneaking up to it, they glance in. Abi is there with Muimar and Ali. They have just completed filling a large tank truck with the bacteria..
"Be careful, you fools! If WE get any of the bacteria on us, we get the disease too!"
The gals act fast. They start their jet go-go boots and surprise the three terrorists, quickly subduing them. They contact WOOHP to pick them up, when Jerry informs them that they must return to WOOHP immediately. They should get on the jet provided at Abi's hideout.
On arriving the gals are confused "What's up, Jerry?" asks Sam.
"We caught Abi, and shut his operation down. What's wrong?" asks Clover.
"Give a listen girls", and Jerry turns on a tape of the Nightly News Network (NNN).
"...and tonight in the news there is word of a large government cover-up of mass deaths at bacteria laden beaches in Beverly Hills. Hundreds of people are dead as a result of a terrorist action, claimed by Al Mullah, that infested the beach waters with a deadly bacteria. When the Health Department was asked by our reporters of this incident, they claimed to know nothing about it. Beverly Hills Hospital claims to have treated and released hundreds of patients infected, but did not say how those infected were released, nor would they provide us with any names of the patients. However, we were able to secure the names and photos of three victims" the gals watch as their pictures are flashed on the screen. "These three girls are known to be dead. Their names are Clover, Samantha, and Alexandra. We have been unable to contact their families...."
"Where did they get that story from?" asked Sam incredulously.
"Before I answer that, I think you girls should call home!", says Jerry. The gals readily agree. Their parents are very relieved to hear their daughters' voices and their assurance that they are all right. What is NNN up to?
"Girls, what exactly happened at Abi's hideout?" asks Jerry.
The gals tell him how they trailed Abi, and how they were overcome with knockout gas. They awoke in the water, which they believe was laden with the bacteria. Jerry stops them there.
"That must be where they got your pictures. They also must have been eavesdropping on your conversation, to get your names.
"The Government is in a tight spot! We are accused of covering up, and the more we tell the truth, the more it appears that we are covering up!", says Jerry.
"What is the source for NNN?" asks Alex.
"They refuse to tell us, citing confidentiality. I am sure it is the Al Mullah cell that is working out of the Tinia consulate.", says Jerry.
"Ok, let's go over there and clean those rats out!", says Clover.
"Not so fast, Clover! We have nothing to charge them with! But I do have a plan. We will take the three of you to NNN, showing them that you are very much alive, and demand a retraction!", says Jerry.
The only problem is every news station in the USA picks up the NNN story, and when Jerry presents the girls alive and well at NNN, they are rebuffed.
"So the government quickly 'doped up' some imposters to try to discredit our story! Well it won't work! You guys will do anything to prevent the truth from coming out, won't you?" says Sid, the President of NNN.
"We were not 'doped up'! You're the dope! We never died! But you blindly believe that hokey source of yours.", says Clover angrily.
"Don't you guys believe in checking your leads?", asks an equally angry Sam.
"We did.", Sid replies curtly.
"You talked to our parents face-to-face and they confirmed our deaths? I don't think so!", says Alex angrily.
"We talked to the victim's parents by phone, and they DID confirm the deaths!", says Sid unpleasantly.
"What number did you call to confirm my death? We can prove it correct or not right now! My family is in the Beverly Hills White Pages! Let's see if the number you called corresponds with the number in the White Pages", says Alex testily, "unless, of course, you think the telephone company is in on the cover-up too, along with the Hospital and the Government."
"I don't have to defend our stories to you! Now get out of here before I have Security remove you!", says Sid threateningly.
The gals are about to protest, when Jerry says "Let's go girls! We're obviously talking to someone who doesn't want to report the truth! It flies in the face of his pet conspiracy theories!" Jerry ushers the gals out before Sid can respond. Sid is fit to be tied.
"Jerry! We can't let them get away with this!", says Sam.
"We're not, Sam! I already have a back-up plan.", says Jerry.
At 7 PM that night, the United States Government makes a statement on ALL television stations.
Jerry begins "Many of you viewers have been told that hundreds of people died at bacteria laden beaches in Beverly Hills. You were even given the names and pictures of three victims: Samantha, Clover and Alexandra. We will now show you the truth!" and with that, the camera swings over to the spies, who are very much alive.
Sam continues "It is true that we, along with a number of people were infected at one beach in Beverly Hills with a deadly bacteria. But it is NOT true that any of us died. Thanks to a dedicated Doctor, Doctor Harry, we all received an antidote that cured us of the illness."
Clover than continues "The bacteria was put into the water by a terrorist group, Al Mullah, which claimed responsibility, but they didn't tell you that the source of the bacteria was found, the perpetrators captured" Clover shows a movie shot of Abi, Muimar and Ali, "and the bacteria destroyed."
Alex takes over "The bacteria in the beach water was neutralized by the Government, and as you can plainly see, (picture of crowded beach) the beach is in full use today."
Jerry finishes "So the Government wanted to set the record straight. Don't be afraid to go to the beaches. They are fine. The terrorists have been captured and the threat neutralized."
As the short program finishes, the switchboard at NNN lights up like a Christmas tree. Angry viewers calling in to find out what's going on. Angry television stations also are calling. They have egg all over their face, thanks to NNN. They cancel their news sharing business relationship with them. Sid also receives a call from the Chairman of the Board of NNN, firing him on the spot!
Word quickly reaches WOOHP that the television shot was a success.
Jerry cheerfully turns to the three girls and says "Truly outstanding work, ladies! Not only in catching the terrorists but also in setting the record straight! The Al Mullah cell lost a great deal of credibility, thanks to you! Well done!!"
The three gals walk up to Jerry, and each gives him a big hug and kiss, as they say "Thanks Jerry! And thanks for saving our lives Dr. Harry from Cambridge!"
Jerry is caught off guard. He never told them he was Doctor Harry, and he made sure he didn't enter their hospital rooms after they snapped out of their comas! "Me? Dr. Harry? I'm no doctor!", he stammers.
"Admit it, Jerry!", says Alex, with a big smile on her face.
"We figured it out when we were in the hospital and at home, recuperating.", say Clover with a knowing smile.
"We talked to all the staff at the hospital. They gave us a description of the good doctor," says a smiling Sam.
"...Which I made into a composite drawing. When we were at home, we questioned our parents, who filled in the details. I called Sam and Clover, showing them the composite, 'Who does this look like?' I asked. It hit all three of us at the same time! 'Jerry!' I then drew a picture of you, Jerry, and showed it to my parents. They confirmed that the picture was Dr. Harry! I also sent the picture via computer to Sam and Clover!"
"And my Mom and Dad confirmed that the picture was Dr. Harry too!", says Clover.
"As did mine!", says Sam, "So you can see, Jerry, you taught us well. We have you! Or would you rather take a WOOHP lie detector test to prove it?" she teases.
Clearly, the gals have him. He knows he would fail the WOOHP lie detector test. Jerry relents. "Yes, girls you are right. I was Doctor Harry! It just dawned on me that in my haste to get the antidote to you, I didn't employ a disguise!"
Jerry then uncharacteristically hugs the three gals, with a tear in his eye, "I am very happy the antidote worked. It would be pretty dull around here for me, without you three!"
The gals let out a happy sigh, and return the hug.
"Thanks for caring, Jerry!", says Sam.
"I always knew that under that 'no nonsense' exterior you project, beat the heart of an 'old softy'", says Clover with a twinkle in her eye.
"I'm glad we work for someone who cares so much about us!", says Alex.
The girls recover rapidly. Their temperature has held at 98.6° for two days now. The staff of the hospital believes that it is safe to let them go home. The girls and their families want to personally thank the mysterious Dr. Harry, as do the other cured patients, but he can't be found.
