Meanwhile, Randall was looking everywhere for Alex.
"Alex! Alex! Where are you?" When he thought he couldn't find her anymore, he went back to his place.
"Randall!"
"Alex?? Where were you all this time?"
"Right here! Where were you?"
"I was looking everywhere for you!"
"Well, now that we're all here, we'd better go back to the factory." "What?? What are you talking about??"
"Randall, I'm not done yet. I'm going back!"
"Uh, uh. No way. You're not going anywhere and that's final." Alex was furious. She was glaring at Randall. But then ehr look softened.
"Alright, Randall. If you're such a scaredy-cat, I'll go by myself." Alex started towards the door.
"Oh, no you don't!" Randall ran to Alex, but it was too late. She slammed the door in his face.
"Some friend you are! See if I ever see you again!" She shouted through the door. Randall threw open the door and ran out after her.
"Alex, no! You can't do this! You're going to get hurt! You have no idea what they could do to you!"
"I'm sorry, do I know you?"
"Oh, Alex, come on! I wasn't trying to be your enemy! I-" But Alex walked away before he could even finish his sentence. Randall just stood there and watched her walk away. "I was trying to help you." Alex stopped dead in her tracks. She looked back at Randall. "Will you come back? I know what I'm talking about! You're in danger, Alex! The CDA's all over the city now! We've got to do something! Please?" Alex smiled. "Sure, Randall. I'll come back." They went back to Randall's place, and got everything worked out. "Okay. So we've got everything settled. We'll got back to the factory..."
"And I can only do it when I have my costume on. Randall, we've gone over this a million times! I think I know what we're going to do."
"Alright, alright. Just be careful, okay?"
"Randall!"
"Okay, you can go."
"Yay! Come on!" She grabbed Randall and they ran back to the factory.
"Maybe you should stay out sight until you get there, you know, so you don't arouse suspicion."
"Okay. You know, I think that's the first good idea you've had today, Randall." She climbed on top of the lockers and looked up.
"Al, what are you doing?"
"I think it's low enough."
"What are you talking about? What's low enough?" Alex reached up and touched the ceiling, then jumped up and stuck to it!
"Wow Al, how did you do that?"
"I put suction cups on my hands so I can walk on the ceiling."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead!"
"Thanks, Randall!" Alex went out onto the scare floor, or rather scare ceiling until she was right above Mr. Waternoose. "Boo!" Mr. Waternoose looked around.
"Who said that?"
"Me!"
"Who's me?"
"Look up!" Mr. Waternoose looked up and saw Alex clinging to the ceiling.
"Oh, hello, Jodi! I didn't know you could do that!"
"Well, now you know! Say, how's it going with the kid?"
"Well, we haven't actually found her yet, but they're still searching. Now why don't you come down from there? This is the scare floor, you know." Alex jumped down to the ground.
"I can help! I can look for the kid!"
"Well..."
"Please?"
"Alright. But you must be careful. I you see her, tell the CDA or me. Alright?"
"Okay!" Alex walked around and pretended to look for the kid. "This is stupid! I'm searching for me! But it sure is funny!" One of the CDA agents was walking around with a metal-detector. Acutally, it was really a kid-detector! Alex had her back turned, so she didn't see it. But it saw her! All of a sudden, the kid-detector started beeping, pointing right at Alex!
"Halt! Stay where you are!" Alex looked back just once, saw the CDA agent running towards her, and took off.
"Great! Now they think that I'm contaminated! Oh, man, I've gotta get out of here!" Alex ran as fast as she could, but the CDA multiplied. They kept coming out of nowhere! Alex kept running, telling herself, "Keep running. Keep running. Keep running." The CDA were gaining on her. She ran and ran, and turned the corner. When the CDA got there, there was no one there! So they finally left, and there was Alex safe and sound up on the ceiling. She jumped down, and started laughing. "Thought you could catch me, didn't you? Well, you can't outsmart a girl like-" She stopped dead. There, right in front of her, was a CDA agent. "Me?" Alex ran, but the CDA started closing in on her. There was nowhere for her to go, unless... that's it! Thinking fast, she grabbed her fun, pointed it towards the sky, and pulled the trigger. In an instant, the claw shot out and grabbed onto a crossbar on the ceiling. Alex just stood there while the CDA ran towards her.
"Halt! Don't move!" Alex didn't move, and the CDA had her surrounded. "Jodi, you are under arrest for being contaminated. Do you have anything to say?" Alex smiled.
"I have only one thing to say. See ya!" Alex let go of the trigger, the cord retracted, and she got pulled up to the ceiling. "You think you guys are so smart. Well, I'm not giving in that easily! I'm not giving up without a fight!" And with that, Alex started crawling on the ceiling. When she thought she'd lost them, she got down and started walking back to the locker room where Randall was. But as she was walking away, two CDA agents took hold of her. "Hey! Let me go!" She yanked her arms away, and started to run, but she was surrounded by the CDA! While Alex was desperately looking around for some way to get out, the two agents grabbed her. "Let go of me! Come on! Let go!" Alex was struggling to get free with all her might, but the agents just picked her up and walked away. "Help! Randall! Mike! Sulley! Somebody! Help!" Randall heard her screaming and went to see what was going on. As soon as he saw her beoing carried away by the CDA, he ran to save her, but was stopped by Mr. Waternoose.
"Hey, get out of my way!"
"Sorry, Randall, but she's contaminated. They have to take her away."
"But sir, you don't understand! You see-"
"Randall, she's contaminated! I know you two are best friends, but she has to go!"
"Nooooo! Let me through!"
"Randall, if you don't stop it right now, I'm going to have to report you!"
"Okay." Just then, Sulley and Mike ran to Mr. Waternoose.
"Mr. Waternoose!"
"I know, I know. But she has to go!"
"What! No!"
"Now why don't you three run along and forget all about this." Mr. Waternoose ushered them off and left with the CDA.
"This is awful! We've got to save her!" Randall stared at them. "What do you mean, we? Do you mean you, and me, actually working together? It's crazy! Do you know what all the other guys would think if they heard that-" Just then, they heard a distant cry.
"HELP!" Randall looked back at Sulley and Mike.
"You go that way; I'll got this way."
