Alex has drilled toward the GPS coordinates below the roller on the paper machine. Soon she finds herself in a tunnel. She decides to deploy her suction cup go-go boots and walk on the ceiling toward the GPS coordinates. She doesn't realize that her presence is noted by a security camera. She is constantly being monitored!
Alex continues to the GPS coordinates. She sees the slit in the tunnel roof, and she sees a collection bin on a pallet. She quietly walks down to the floor and goes over to the bin and checks it. There are sheets in there for making $100 bills. Probably all 200 missing sheets! She needs to contact the gals.
But before she can, a guard grabs her arms and lifts her off of her feet! "HEY! LET GO!" Alex demands.
"Not likely, missy! Carlos, handcuff this one and leg cuff her too! We'll put her into a holding cell and tell Myster we have an uninvited guest!"
"Right, Zeb!" Alex is secured in cuffs and unceremoniously deposited into a small room with a door. The guards were unaware of the gadgets Alex has with her, so she deploys her lockpick and unlocks her cuffs. She then lockpicks the lock on the door and cautiously exits. Unfortunately, once again, her movement is caught by a security camera. She didn't realize that her little room was also constantly monitored by security camera. Her entire escape has been observed!
"So! Our 'guest' is very resourceful! I want to see what she does next, before 'sicing' my security guards on her again!" comments a mysterious voice.
Alex finds a dark spot in the tunnel and calls Clover and Sam.
"Guys?"
"Alex! Are you all right?" asks Sam.
"Guys, Specialty Paper is sitting on top of a number of tunnels! The special paper is collected in one tunnel! I'm going to see if I can find out where it goes! I've already been captured once! HEY…."
Alex's compowder goes dead.
"ALEX? ALEX! ANSWER ME, ALEX!" cries Sam.
"What happened?" asks a startled Clover.
"I lost contact with Alex! We've got to get to her fast!"
"Did you get her GPS coordinates?"
"Luckily I was connected long enough to get a reading! I'm getting no signal now!"
"Ok, Sam. Let's go!"
Sam and Clover are on the way, but Alex has been captured again, her compowder smashed into pieces. This time she is searched, and all her gadgets are seemingly removed along with her backpack. The guards leave her with her lipstick. How can that hurt them, they think. She is taken to see 'Myster'.
"Myster wants to talk to you!" says a guard, as he drives a newly hand and leg cuffed Alex down a tunnel.
"Mister who?", asks Alex.
"You'll find out soon enough!" the guard says, as he brings the electric tram to a stop. He roughly picks up Alex and carries her over his shoulder into a room. "HEY!" Alex protests, to no avail.
The guard drops Alex on the floor of a study of some sort, and leaves. Alex looks around. There are bookcases filled with books on three walls. There is a large floor globe over to her left and right in front of her is a large oak desk. Behind the desk is an executive chair turned away from her, but she can see the arm of a man on the armrest. He is wearing a dark brown sport coat over a white dress shirt. His cufflink has a large "M" on it.
Without turning to face her, the man speaks. "So, why have you invaded my operation?"
"Who are you?" asks Alex.
"Answer my question, please!" demands the man.
"I'm not talking to any jerk unless I know who I'm talking to!"
"Very well, Alex!" Alex is surprised he knows her name. "I am called Myster!"
"Mister what?"
"Just Myster, spelled M-Y-S-T-E-R! Now that we have been introduced, answer my question! Why have you invaded my operation?"
Alex figures she'll try a bluff. He doesn't know why she really is here. "I just stumbled on the tunnel! I'm a spelunker from around these parts!"
"Really?" says Myster sarcastically. "Do all spelunkers have lockpicks and compacts that function as communicators? I think not! You're a SPY! I'll have to dispose of you, and your two friends, when they arrive! But you have a little more time to live! I'll dispose of all three of you at the same time!"
With that, Myster summons a guard, who enters the room and puts Alex over his shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN, YOU JERK!" Alex protests to no avail. He takes her to another cell, blindfolds and gags her, and locks her in.
Alex is really worried now. Clover and Sam will be walking into a trap, and she has no way of warning them, seeing the guard destroyed her compowder! She also has no way of getting free, as she can't reach her laser lipstick!
