Chapter 6 – May I Have This Dance?

After finishing his call to the Chairman, Sebastian instructs some henchmen.

"Soon, we will have these two WOOHP agents as guests! Make them feel comfortable in our dance club!"

"Right, boss!"

Quincy and Sam are standing outside of the Les Pari.

"The club doesn't open for another hour! That gives us some time to look around!" remarks Quincy.

"Right! Maybe we can surprise Sebastian!" responded Sam, as she picked the lock on the front door. Soon she and Quincy are inside.

"I'll look in the storerooms in back, you check up here, Sam!"

"Ok, doctor!"

Quincy quietly moves to the back of the club. He is checking storerooms to see if Sebastian has hid away any 'goodies'.

Meanwhile, Sam is checking the dance floor, restaurant and DJ booth. She decides to hit the DJ booth first. "If Sebastian IS behind this, here's where he most probably would have left a clue!"

She starts checking the booth, when she sees a set of headphones. "I'll bet these are Sebastian's. I'm going to check them out!" But as she examines the headphones, the volume on them gets cranked up very high so that she can hear everything from the headphone speakers. She is in a trance.

"Got one, boss!" says a goon to Sebastian, as he watches a security camera screen.

"Good! Good! Now she'll do the rest for us!" responded Sebastian with glee.

Dr. Quincy is having very little luck in the storeroom area, finding any clues. He goes to his fourth storeroom and opens the door. The room is filled with boxes.

"H'mmmm! Sure a lot of boxes! They wouldn't store any food or beverages in here. I wonder what's in them!"

Just as Quincy takes down one box to examine it, he is joined by Sam.

"Any luck, Sam?"

"Yes! I must show you this, quickly!"

Quincy leaves the box and quickly follows Sam. "It must be a terrific clue, Sam! You sure are excited!"

"I found the painting!!!!" responded Sam with gusto.

"Fantastic, Sam!"

But instead of leading Quincy to the Mona Lisa, Sam leads him right to five goons! Immediately, the five goons attack Quincy, who puts up a good defense, but eventually succumbs to the odds. All during the attack, Sam stood silently aside. The goons handcuff Quincy and drag him to see Sebastian. Sam tags along.

"Well, well! Who have we here?" asks Sebastian.

"What have you done to Sam?" Quincy demands.

"I'll ask the questions! Who are you, old man?"

"The name is Quincy!"

"I take it, you're a spy, just like Sam?"

"Not really," Quincy adlibs. "I'm a concerned curator from the Louvre, trying to recover the Mona Lisa!"

Sebastian accepts that answer from Quincy, so Quincy presses his question. "What did you do to Sam?"

"Simple, really! I used my virus on her! When she entered the soundproof DJ enclosure on the dance floor, my henchman started my virus! Without any headphones to protect her, she fell under my power!"

"What do you plan to do to me?"

"Well, I'm not going to do anything! Sam is! She is going to put you into the DJ booth, and turn on the music virus, turning YOU into a willing slave as well!

"Sam! Take the prisoner to the DJ booth now! I have a painting to ship!" With that, Sebastian and his five goons leave Sam and Quincy.

Sam starts to lead Quincy to the DJ booth, but Quincy has other ideas! He falls to the ground. He knows he is too heavy for Sam to pull, so he waits to see how she reacts.

Sam says, "Get up! Join us!"

But Quincy fakes an injury. "I can't move! I severely sprained my ankle!"

Sam then starts to walk in the direction Sebastian and his cohorts exited from. But as she gets close to Quincy, he strategically sticks his leg out, forcing her to trip! While she is sprawled on the ground, with the wind temporarily knocked out of her, Quincy sits on top of her!

As Sam catches about 40 percent of her breath, she tries to get Quincy off of her back, but she can't budget the good doctor – he almost weighs twice as much as she does! Taking advantage of the time, Quincy grabs Sam's laser lipstick, seeing he can't reach his laser pen, and lasers his cuffs off! After freeing his hands, Quincy puts on his headphones! He also puts a set of headphones on Sam, while she still struggles! Quincy then uses a neck pinch to knock Sam out!

About ten minutes later, Sam is lying on her back. Quincy is standing over her, waiting expectantly.

"Wha….What happened?" asks Sam, as she sits up. "Ooooh! I must have strained a muscle in my back!"

Quincy replies apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sam! I had to trip you, and sit on you to prevent you from getting Sebastian and his goons back here! If you're sore, it's because you tried to get me off your back! I really am sorry, Sam!"

Quincy helps Sam to her feet. "That's alright, doctor, but why would I want to alert Sebastian and his cronies?"

"He had taken control of your mind in the DJ enclosure, Sam! You were his willing henchwoman!"

"I see. How did I snap out of it?"

"As was the case for his other mind control schemes, once you fell asleep or blacked out, he would lose control! I knocked you out with a neck pinch!" Quincy adds sheepishly. "I truly am sorry, but it had to be done!"

"No need to apologize, Doctor Quincy!" says Sam with a smile. "You broke his control over me! That's all that matters!" And Sam gives Quincy a quick hug.

"But now we've got to get Sebastian and the Mona Lisa!" Sam adds with determination.
