Chapter 5 – The Rescue
"Thanks for saving us, Stan!", say the gals, as they each hug and kiss Stan.
Stan is slightly embarrassed, but quickly gets over it. "My pleasure, ladies!", as he wipes the lipstick off of his face. "Now lets find those other WOOHP agents!"
The spies reclaim their gadgets, and Stan provides them with new compowders.
"You use a compowder as a back-up to your wallet communicator, Stan?" teases Alex.
Slightly embarrassed, Stan replies "No! I just wanted to make sure we had four back-ups, and those were the first four I grabbed!" The gals laugh, and Stan laughs with them. The foursome now backtracks to the intersection.
"Which way?" asks Alex.
"Left! It's the only place in this fortress large enough to hold all of the WOOHP personnel!", says Stan.
Turning left, the foursome sees three large doors. To the right is a control room; there is no one in it. They enter and look at the monitors. Clearly, those three doors house the captured agents, but they are still hypnotized, as their cells are drenched in the blue beam.
"Stan," says Clover "how did you know this was the correct corridor?"
"By studying the layout of the fortress, I knew that there was only one place left to hold a large number of people, and that was North.", replies Stan.
"So that's why you were studying the fortress pictures for so long!", says Sam.
"Yes, Sam. I wanted to memorize the entire installation, in case we needed it!"
Meanwhile, Tim Scam is planning his triumphant takeover of WOOHP.
"I'm going to take my car and drive to WOOHP HQ. I want the pleasure of taking Jerry out myself!", says Scam.
"Why drive boss? Take one of the copters!", says one of Scam's seven goons.
"No need for speed! Five minutes ago, the water in the tank room hit the plate triggering the carbon monoxide! All of the WOOHP personnel are dead, as are those pesky girls! I only have one regret! I wish I could have turned the one called Sam to my side! She was smart and pretty! Oh well, there will be plenty of gals to chose from when I take over the world – for all of us!"
The goons let out a leering laugh. Scam is on his way to WOOHP.
Back at the control room, Sam figures out how to turn off the blue light. All of the WOOHP personnel are starting to snap out of their trance. Then, suddenly, Alex gives out a shout!
"Look! A timer to turn on the carbon monoxide! It only has 30 seconds left!!!" Obviously, Scam had employed a back-up system, if his 'water switch' didn't work.
"I'll handle it!", says Stan, and he quickly goes to work. The gals watch in amazement as Stan works on the timer. His moves are methodical – every motion with a purpose. With 2 seconds left, the timer stops! The gals let out a collective sigh of relief.
"I can open the doors!", say Clover.
"Good! Let's contact Jerry to see if he can send some new copters! I don't trust the old ones! Scam probably has them booby-trapped!", says Sam.
"Jerry?"
"Sam! Thank goodness! I've been trying to contact you for hours! Is everything all right?"
"Everything is fine Jerry! Can you send some new copters to pick-up the WOOHP personnel? We don't trust the old ones!"
"On the way! They'll be there in three minutes! Do you have Scam?"
"He's next!"
"OK, then I'll also send your jet/copter too!"
"Thanks, Jerry!" and Sam closes her compowder.
As promised, the new copters arrive, and the freed WOOHP personnel get on. It will be a quick trip back to the headquarters, but it will take about 45 minutes to load all of the people.
