While enroute in the jet/copter to Louisiana, Alex asks, "Who do you guys think the Chairman is?"
"I'm not sure! Maybe it's Myster (Myster mission)!" suggests Clover.
"This operation would certainly fit his modus operandi!" remarks Sam.
"If it IS Myster, he'll have video surveillance cameras everywhere, along with motion detectors in the air vents!" adds Alex.
All too soon, the squad lands the jet/copter about one mile from the hideout.
"Be careful, gals! This thick underbrush is a perfect hiding place for snakes! Not to mention the tree branches we'll be coming in contact with!" cautions Stan, as the foursome slowly enters the swamp.
After 15 minutes in the brush, they come into a clearing.
"Finally!" says Clover as she walks forward quickly.
"CLOVER! STOP!" yells Alex. Clover freezes.
"What's wrong?" asks Clover nervously.
"There's a cottonmouth coiled within three feet of you, on your right!" replies Alex.
Clover slowly looks in the direction Alex described, and she sees the snake, ready to strike. Slowly, Clover starts to back away, when all of the sudden she hears a rattle! A rattlesnake is just behind her! Clover jumps with a start. Instinctively, both the cottonmouth and the rattler strike at her! But their bites do not penetrate the boots! The snakes quickly slither away.
The gals and Stan quickly come over to Clover.
"Clover! Are you all right?" asks a very concerned Sam.
"I'm a little weak in the knees, but otherwise okay!" Clover responds quietly.
Alex and Stan examine Clover's legs.
"Here's where the cottonmouth struck! It didn't penetrate!" remarks Alex.
"And here's where the rattler struck, and it didn't penetrate either!" adds Stan.
"I guess these boots really are chic!" remarks Clover, as she blushes.
"Only the coolest for us!" responds Sam with a smile. "Ready to continue?"
"Sure am, let's do it!" responds Clover.
The group carefully approaches the building. Here on the ground, they can see a door and a vent over the door.
"This is way too easy!" says Sam.
"Let's use the analyzer sunglasses!" interjects Alex. And they do.
"Both of those are heavily booby trapped!" remarks Stan. "If we get to within 10 feet, we'll trigger all the traps!"
"Can you disarm them, Stan?" asks Sam.
"I can't get close enough without setting them off! We'll need to make a new entrance!" replies Stan.
"How do we do that?" asks Alex.
"We use the contacts to find a nondescript room on the outer wall, and we can use our lasers to remove some of the bricks!" replies Stan.
Clover immediately breaks out the contacts and scans the outer wall. "Over there!" she points to a spot about 40 feet to the left. The rest of the group follows her to the spot. "This wall is the back of a storage room!"
"Great!" responds Sam, as she employs her laser lipstick, eating away at the mortar holding the bricks. After about 5 minutes, Sam steps back. "I think I'm through!"
Stan replies, "Allow me to get the bricks out!" Stan proceeds to remove the bricks, making an opening large enough for the foursome to enter the fortress. He goes in first.
The Chairman has completed setting his traps, and turns on his security monitor outside of his fortress. He catches the gals entering through the hole in the outer wall, but he is unaware of Stan's presence, as Stan went in first.
"Drat those spies! Now I have to arm other traps, in the hope of catching them!" The Chairman checks a gauge that shows that his prototype laser is charged to 80 percent. "I may need you sooner than expected!" he remarks.
In the storage room, Stan says, "Give me a 10 minute head start and I'll disable the traps!"
"Okay, Stan! And we will give you all ten minutes THIS time (a/n: Not like in Book Covers, where the gals didn't give Stan the 5 minutes he asked for, and they ended up getting captured!)!" says Sam with a grin.
"Thanks, Sam!" replies Stan, and he goes on his way.
The Chairman begins to set up his lair for the arrival of the spies. "Those girls learned quite well from that blasted Stan! But they aren't Stan! I'll set up a trap, right outside my door that probably only Stan himself could detect! That'll get them!"
Stan methodically works his way down the hallway disarming traps. Soon he is outside of a door. "There's something funny about this!" Stan says to himself. And he's right. The Chairman has used a hologram of a door to disguise his trap! Stan only saw this once before, and he smiles within. "Okay, Chairman! I now know who you really are!" Stan goes on to disarm the trap, but doesn't go in – he'll wait for the gals.
Back at the storage room, the gals actually let 15 minutes go by. "Okay, gals! Let's go!" says Sam with bravado!
The girls quickly move down the corridor, until they see Stan waiting for them outside of the door. Stan has already picked the lock on the door. All they have to do is surprise the Chairman!
"Stan! Is something wrong?" asks Clover in a whisper.
"Not at all, ladies!" Stan replies. "I figured we'd all surprise the Chairman. You'll find we know him very well!"
Alex steps forward and kicks open the door. The gals rush in followed by Stan. The Chairman is caught off guard! His trap didn't work! He hits a few buttons on his control panel and races for an exit behind him!
The spies enter the room quickly. "Hold up, Scam!" says Sam. Yes, the Chairman was none other than Tim Scam (or Mac Smit as he called himself in A New Jerry )! They are about to run after Scam, out into the corridor, when Stan yells, "STOP!!!!"
Immediately, the gals halt in their steps. Stan continues, "There are three traps right in front of you! Let me show you the way around them, then follow me after Scam!"
With that, Stan walks a very circuitous rout around the traps. The gals follow carefully in single file. When Stan is sure that they are safely through, he takes off after Scam, hoping to disarm any more traps.
"Good thing Stan was here!" said Clover, as the gals finish avoiding the traps.
"I'll say! We almost fell for Scam's traps again!" added Alex.
"I say we let Stan lead the charge for Scam! He's obviously can spot the traps we can't!" says Sam.
"I agree girlfriends! Let's do it!" says Clover.
The girls run after Stan.
Scam is still unaware of Stan's presence! The gals preceded Stan into his lair, and Scam ran out before he could see Stan.
Scam runs to his kidney-shaped last chance area, closes the door, and runs over to his prototype laser! He'll bait the spies into the room, and then blast them with his laser, getting rid of them for good! He goes to his control panel and refines the aim of the laser. As soon as they enter, Scam will fire with his remote! All he has to do is wait to set the trap! He smiles evilly!
The girls catch up to Stan, as they are about 30 feet from the kidney-shaped room door.
"Gals, it's not like Scam to just close a door! I smell a rat! I'll go through the air vents and open the door for you when the coast is clear!" remarks Stan.
"Ok, Stan! We'll await you signal," says Alex.
Stan disappears into the vents. A few minutes later, Scam turns on his video camera, which monitors the corridor leading into his kidney-shaped room.
"So, the spies are just down the hall from my trap! Now to put out the bait!" With that Scam opens the door to his trap!
Stan has worked his way to Scam's inner sanctum, and is lowering himself into Scam's kidney-shaped room from the air vent, when he hears Scam open the door!
The gals see that the door is open. "Stan's signal that it's okay! Let's get Scam!" says Sam as the gals run quickly through the door. Alex hits her WOOHP distress button.
As soon as the girls enter the room, Scam fires the laser! But an obstruction prevents the laser from finding its target!
The gals see the flash out of the periphery of their left eye! Immediately Sam deploys a stun pen and shoots, and Clover also deploys the eyelash curler net and shoots! Scam is rendered unconscious and is engulfed in the net!
But the joy of the moment is interrupted by a cry from Alex. "Stanley??" she exclaims in anguish. Clover and Sam follow Alex's gaze.
"NO!" exclaims Clover, as her eyes begin to fill with tears.
"Oh nooooo!" cries Sam.
The three spies slowly start to walk toward Stan. He was the obstruction that prevented Scam's laser from hurting them. As Stan reached the ground of Scam's room, he heard the girls racing into the room. He couldn't let Scam hurt them, so he did all that he had time to do – he threw himself into the path of the laser, taking the full shot!
With tears streaming down her cheeks, Alex kneels at Stan's head, and cradles it in her lap. She continuously caresses his face, as she cries. Sam kneels by Stan's right hand, and picks it up. She holds it to her tear stained face, as she feels for a pulse. Clover kneels by Stan's left hand, and also caresses her tears away on her face. Sam feels a slight pulse, just as WOOHP arrives.
Jerry leads the WOOHP agents into the room, and stops short as he sees the gals with Stan. Without saying a word, Jerry signals for the agents to get Scam. But he also signals to the medical corps that they are too late. He slowly walks to Stan's feet. He is fighting to contain his own tears.
Stan weakly opens his eyes. He sees the gals and says with some apprehension, "Are…are….you gals…okay?"
"Yes, Stan!" replies Alex through her tears, "We're fine!"
"All three of us!" adds Clover tearfully.
"We're in great shape!" responds Sam haltingly through her tears.
"And….Scam?" Stan asks weakly.
Jerry responds, "He is in custody, Stan. The threat is over."
Stan smiles weakly. "Scam….knew….my….all clear…..signal!…..I couldn't….let…him….hurt…..you….three!!"
Then looking up at Alex, Stan says as he smiles, "It…looks….like….I'll….miss…..getting….that spot….out…for you, Alex!" Alex glances at the Sea Foam nail polish spot on the left front of her jumpsuit, and lowers her head, crying silently.
Stan then looks at Jerry, "Mission …accomplished….Jerry!" With that, Stan gives Jerry a brave, weak smile, as his head slowly rolls to his right, his eyes closing for the final time.
Clover says through her tears, "Goodbye Stan! You were a true friend!" She slowly lowers his left hand to his breastbone, and gently kisses him on the left cheek. She then gets up, crying to herself.
Sam follows suit, through her tears, "Goodbye Stan! You were the best!" Sam caresses her face with his right hand, and places his right hand over his left on his breastbone and also kisses his cheek. She gets up, walks over to Clover , and she and Clover hug one another as they cry, consoling one another.
Alex bends over at her waist, tears streaming down her cheeks. She gently kisses Stan's lips, "Goodbye Stan! I'll never forget you, as long as I live! I promise!!" Alex slowly lowers Stan's head to the floor and joins Sam and Clover in their hugs and tears.
Jerry kneels down next to Stan, tears welling in his eyes as well. He puts his right hand on top of Stan's hands and says, "I'll miss you, old friend! WOOHP won't be the same without you!" Jerry then gets up and walks over to the girls to try to comfort them.
The gals see Jerry coming and all three give him a group hug, which he returns. They are consoling one another.
The medical staff walks over to Stan, gently lowers him onto the stretcher and wheels him out of Scam's fortress, in silence.
