Chapter 11 – Reunion

Back at WOOHP, all three teams have arrived with their respective prisoners. They see one another in the hangar area.

Alex, Sam and Clover run up to one another and enjoy a big group hug!

"Alex, Clover! So good to see you!" gushes Sam.

"Girlfriends! Glad you're all right!" remarks Alex happily.

"Everyone in one piece? Good!" says Clover through a big smile.

Then Clover asks, "Alex! What did you DO to your jumpsuit?"

"Yeah!" adds Sam, "It looks like nail polish!"

"It's a long story, gals, but let me fill you in…." and Alex begins explaining how the nail polish got on her jumpsuit.

Of course Jerry, Stan and Quincy have a more subdued reunion, as they exchange handshakes.

"Gentlemen! Obviously your missions met with success!" remarks Jerry.

"As did yours, Jerry! Congratulations!" says Quincy.

"All went well, gents!" adds Stan.

With the reunions over, Jerry remarks, "I think we need to debrief. Let's go to Conference Room 3!"

All six WOOHP agents walk toward the Conference Room, as Security moves Macker, Sebastian and Dr. Gelee to their cells. On their way, the gals talk excitedly about their experience with the 'Senior' Agents.

"You know guys? I don't think Stan and I even threw a punch throughout our mission! We just out thought Macker and his clones!" Alex says happily. She then fills the girls in on their harrowing escape over the crocodile infested waters.

"Same with Dr. Quincy and I!" remarked Sam, as she gave the gals a thumbnail description of their mission against Sebastian.

"Jerry and I did have to use our lasers quite a bit. But that's because you can't reason with a robot!" Clover added, as she filled the gals in on Jerry and her mission against Dr. Gelee.

On reaching the Conference Room, all three teams inform the other teams of their mission. One question came up in all of the briefings: "Who is the Chairman?"

"We know he organized this rather large operation, and that he needed help!" starts Jerry.

"The Chairman must know, or soon will know, that his Committee members have been captured, and their plan foiled!" added Sam.

"Let's do a group interrogation of our three prisoners! WOOHP's truth spray should come in very handy!" suggests Stan.

"Yes! We must see what our prisoners know!" adds Jerry. So Jerry tells Security to set the three prisoners up in the Interrogation Room. Security goes to get the prisoners.

In an hour, Macker, Sebastian and Dr. Gelee are taken to the Interrogation Room. They are neither bound or shackled. Quincy will be the Interrogator, while the other five teammates will feed him questions to ask, through an earphone. There are also six armed WOOHP Security guards in the room, just in case the prisoners try something.

Quincy decides to start with Sebastian, as he fingers the truth spray can. "Well, Sebastian! Want to tell us what you know about the Chairman?"

Sebastian remains silent. Quincy moves on. "How about you, Macker?"

"I'm not saying a thing!"

Quincy them confronts Gelee. "As one doctor to another, who is the Chairman?"

"I'll exercise a doctor's right of privileged information – and say nothing!"

"Very well. Now we'll do it the involuntary way!" With that, Quincy and the WOOHP Security guards put on gas masks, and Dr. Quincy sprays all three prisoners.

"Let's start the questioning again! Who is the Chairman?"

Macker responds, woozily, "He is the man who recruited us to carry out his plan for world domination!"

Sebastian adds, "He always kept in contact with us by cell phone!"

"But who is he?" asks Quincy.

Dr. Gelee responds, "We don't know! We never met him face to face!"

"You say you stayed in contact by cell phone, what was the number?" Quincy asks.

"It was hard coded into the phone itself! We never had to dial it! It was powered by our control panels!" Macker answers. All six teammates' faces droop. They destroyed the Control Panels! They may have destroyed their only link to the Chairman.

Dr. Quincy tells the guards to take the prisoners back to their cells, as he rejoins the other five agents.

"Bad news! By destroying the Control Panels, we destroyed our connection to the Chairman!" says Alex sadly.

"Maybe not, Alex. Quincy, our satellites record all radio transmissions on all radio bands, right?" asks Stan.

"They sure do!"

"Then all we have to do is trace the radio transmission from each of their hideouts to its source! That should tell us where the Chairman is, even if it doesn't tell us who!"

"Great idea, Stan! Let's get over to the Transmission Archives!" answers Quincy, as the six teammates walk to the archives.

Meanwhile, the Chairman is growing impatient for his receipt of the Mona Lisa. To calm himself down, he turns on the television, and watches the news.

"…and the tax bill ended up languishing in committee…and in international news today, the Mona Lisa was recovered by WOOHP and returned to the Louvre today! The mastermind behind the theft has been captured, but was not identified…."

The Chairman picks up an ashtray and flings it at the television, destroying both!

"Mona Lisa recovered??? Sebastian failed me!" the Chairman angrily thinks to himself.

"I better check on my two other henchmen!" thinks the Chairman. But he cannot raise either. He quickly walks over to his monitor stack, and dials in a commercial satellite picture of Macker and Gelee's bases. He can quickly see that WOOHP has taken them over.

"WOOHP!!!!! I should have known! Those IDIOTS couldn't handle WOOHP! Only I can handle WOOHP! I'll use my laser! It's not 100 effective yet, but I can still take out a few offices, before I have to recharge for a day!"

The Chairman quickly goes to his Laser Control Panel. He locks WOOHP in as a target, and fires.

The six WOOHP teammates are almost at the Archives, when the WOOHP building gets hit by a tremendous shudder, sending all six sprawling! Two empty outer offices on the 35th floor are destroyed.

Quickly Jerry breaks out his wallet communicator. "Security! What was that?"

"We've been attacked by a laser of some sort, Jerry!"

"Are there any casualties?"

"A few bumps and bruises, but nothing major! The laser completely destroyed the two open offices on the 35th Floor!"

"Structural damage?"

"Still checking. We'll get back with you on a preliminary assessment!"

"Where was the source?"

"We'll get back with you on that as well!"

"Very, well! Carry on!"

"What happened, Jer?" asks a somewhat dazed Clover.

"Someone attacked the WOOHP building with a laser!"

"What was the source?" asked Quincy.

"Security is checking it, as we speak. Meanwhile, let's check those Transmission Archives!" responds Jerry.

The six WOOHP agents pair off into their teams, as each team checks for the source of the transmission from the various bases they infiltrated.

Green Team reviews the Paris transmissions. "Doctor, look at this!" says Sam.

Dr. Quincy walks over and looks at Sam's discovery. "I think you have it, Sam! Let's get the GPS coordinates!"

Red Team checks the Russian tapes. "I think I got it, Jer! Here are the GPS coordinates!" remarks Clover excitedly.

"I believe you have, Clover! Well done!" answers Jerry.

Yellow team checks both the Brazilian and the French Alps tapes. "I think I have something, Stan! Look at these GPS coordinates!" says Alex.

"That's great, Alex! They match the coordinates I came up with too!"

Soon all three teams are joining together to share their findings, but before the meeting starts, Security calls Jerry.

"Yes, Security."

"Here are the GPS coordinates for the source of the laser attack, sir! Also, we only sustained damage to the lost offices. The building superstructure is fine!"

"Thanks, Security!" says Jerry as he hangs up.

Jerry enters the Conference Room and starts the meeting. "I think we should each go to one of the four boards in this room, and write down the GPS coordinates we found, so we can see where we have to go. I'll also use a board to write down the source of the laser attack."

The three teams each note their coordinates, as does Jerry. As all the team members sit down, they look at the results. A smile breaks out over the crowd.

"Well! We're four for four! We have all come up with the same coordinates! So I think it's safe to assume that we will find the Chairman, as well as our WOOHP attacker there!" says Jerry.
