Chapter 2: Arrival
-
03:45 PM - SOMEWHERE ABOVE MEXICO
The WOOHP jet carrying Sam, Clover and Alex approached one of the Mexican cities on the horizon. Looking out the window, Sam spotted a billboard for Cherry-Lime Dream.
"You know, with the drinkers of Cherry-Lime Dream turning into animals and all, I think this case is right up my alley," Alex commented.
Sam was a bit confused. "How come, Alex?"
"I'm taking a zoology class in high school," Alex calmly responded. "Mr. Carukia is an excellent zoology teacher."
"What I don't understand," Clover interjected, "is why WOOHP hired someone like Mandy to be a spy. As our partner, no less! It makes me want to kick something!"
After that comment, Clover kicked a nearby crate. Given that the crate was metallic, and that Clover was wearing her magnetic go-go boots, the result was just what you expected it to be.
"Why do you do such dumb things, Clover?" Sam commented.
Shortly after Clover pulled her boot off the crate, Jerry announced their arrival at the processing plant. The floor of the jet opened, dropping all three of them to the ground just outside the plant.
"Jerry said that he dropped off Mandy at the other side of the plant a while ago," Sam said. "She's already inside by now, I expect."
"Then how do we find her?" Alex replied, as if she actually wanted to find Mandy.
"Our walkie-talkie necklaces," Sam suggested. Then she used her own walkie-talkie necklace to send a message. "Calling Mandy. Calling Mandy. It's me, Sam."
A few seconds later, Mandy responded. "Sam, can it wait? I'm trying to climb through a ventilation duct, and you can only imagine what all the dust is doing to my hair."
Clover giggled. "Same old Mandy."
"Let's go," Sam said, and they all approached the factory.
As the three of them reached the main door, they were greeted by a guard. "Hola, señoritas," he said. "You have some business here?"
"Sí," Sam replied. "We're news reporters, here to get the inside scoop about why Cherry-Lime Dream is so successful. We were hoping we could get a tour of the facility."
The guard smirked. "Certainly. Just follow me. I shall show you around." And with that, he led Sam, Alex and Clover inside.

What is its secret?
How is Mandy managing?
Did my italicizing and accent marks go over correctly? Good, they did.
