It's Thursday, and Mall time! The gals have just arrived at the Mall.
"I don't believe it!" cries Clover in jubilation.
"YEAH!" responds Alex concurrently.
"The Mall is having a 20 percent off sale!" responds a very happy Sam.
The gals excitedly walk toward their favorite latte machine. "Where should we start, ladies? Third floor and work our way down, or first floor and work our way up?" asks Clover as she gets her latte. Sam and Alex already have theirs.
"Definitely third floor and work our way down! That way we have a shorter distance to carry our stuffffFFFFF….", says Sam as the escalator they are riding suddenly opens up, her voice trailing off. They are being WOOHP'd!
"…After we see what Jerry wants!" says Alex among their surprised squeals.
"Great! A 20 percent off sale at the Mall, and we have to go on a stupid WOOHP mission!" says Clover as the gals land haphazardly on thesofa in Jerry's office- their lattes spilled somewhere in the WOOHP tunnel, and finally ended up (surprise!) in a WOOHP trash can.
"Jerry!"
"Greetings, ladies! So glad you could step in – get it? Escalator? Step?" says Jerry with a smile.
The gals groan. "We get it, Jerry!" says Sam.
"Jerry, this is REALLY bad timing for a WOOHP mission!" starts Clover.
"I thought the timing would be ideal! No school or homework….", says Jerry.
"But Jerry," exclaims Clover, "there's a 20 percentoff sale at the Mall….."
"Hmmm. Yes. Now for your mission. Someone is creating counterfeit bills and passing them in New York and Los Angeles," says Jerry.
"That could be serious!" says Sam.
"Indeed," replies Jerry. "The counterfeiter's bills are so close to the real bills, that the only way to tell them apart is that the counterfeit bill ink's smear when wet."
"But what about the special paper, color shifting ink and hologram the US Mint uses, Jerry? They can't reproduce those!"
"Well, Sam the counterfeiter has been able to somehow secure a stock of the special paper, color shifting ink and hologram making equipment!"
"What denominations are they counterfeiting?" asks Alex.
"Glad you asked, Alex! 10's, 20's, 50's and 100's! The passers of this phony money also make sure that they use the bills where they would be commonplace, such as jewelry stores, electronic stores, food stores, and media purchase stores such as movie, electronic game and CD stores."
"Any idea how much has been distributed?" asks Clover.
"So far it appears to be approximately $1M in each city!" responds Jerry.
"If they expand their operation, they could flood the economy with these phony bills, cause rampant inflation, and destroy our economy!" says Sam with alarm.
"Precisely, Sam! That's why you girls have to find the perpetrators and stop them! The entire USA economy hangs in the balance!"
"Ok, Jerry! Load us up!" says Alex.
"For this mission, you'll be using K.I.R.T.T. for your land travel, and your jet/copter for air travel. You'll also have bungee belts; drill-jet-suction go-go boots; laser lipsticks; x-ray m-ray combo contacts; analyzer sunglasses; T.H.I.R.D., hair homing barrettes; and lockpicks."
"Ok, Jerry! We'll check LA first!" says Sam.
"Fine, Sam! Check at the California Federal Reserve Bank first. Edwin Pecunia will be your contact! Now tata!!!" And the gals are off.
