(Here's the second chapter for my "Tim Scam Again!" story. Thanks to SonicLover, fatty, Martin Seymus McFly, and The Time Traveler for reviewing. Now for the review replies.)

SonicLover: Okay. I hope you do it sooner. I actually checked on fanfiction earlier and it showed that you already updated. Hope you'll update even sooner.

fatty: Well, I'm glad you like it. You should like this chapter.

Martin Seymus McFly: It's finished? It doesn't look like it. I thought you were going to put the whole kit n' caboodle in just one story. If you really mean it, then...okay.

The Time Traveler: I remember those things very well. I just didn't think of it when I typed my first chapter of this story. I hope you like this second chapter. Notice my pattern I mentioned in the pre-thoughts of my first chapter at the top of the document? I should be done with this at the latest by the first weekend in May, but I don't really know yet.

3:59 p.m. -- Daytona Beach, Florida

The girls and I had arrived at the abandoned warehouse. It was more wrecked in person. The warehouse was a block away from the nearest beach.

"This must be the warehouse Jerry had mentioned to us," Sam assumed.

"This wrecked up thing? Tch, you've gotta be kidding me. This thing looks like an angry idiot wrecked it on the inside," Clover said, not looking amused.

"Now is not the time for compliments, Clover," Sam said to her.

"Sam's right, Clover. We gotta find Scam and stop him from whatever he's doing," I said.

"Mm-hmm. Let's check it out," Alex said.

We began to run inside the wrecked up warehouse. Sam came in first, I was next, then Clover, and finally, Alex.

"This is what it looks like on the inside?" I said.

"It's pretty dark in here,"

"Mm-hmm. Don't worry, I've got a small lantern with me," Sam said, quickly reaching into her backpack and pulling out a small green lantern. She turned it on and it shone brightly on the inside of the warehouse. Inside, there was a lot of spider webs and dust. When I saw all the dust, I began to lift the top part of my shirt up to my nose. There weren't many things inside. In fact, absolutely nothing was inside. We noticed a couple of entryways after the front entryway.

"Mathew, what in the world are you doing?" Sam asked.

"I'm trying to protect my nose from the dust. After all, I am allergic to it as is my dad," I answered.

"Oh, whatever," Sam said.

"We better split up to see what we can find inside this dusty warehouse and cover more ground. You guys take the right entryway of the warehouse. Mathew and I will take the--"

Sam stopped her sentence when she shone her lantern behind her and only saw Alex.

"Alex, where's Clover?" Sam asked.

"I don't know," Alex said.

"Are you sure, Alex?" I asked.

"I'm positive,"

"Well, let's quickly look for her," Sam said.

We looked around the front of the inside of the warehouse and Clover wasn't in.

"Oh no," Sam groaned to herself.

We went outside of the warehouse to find Clover swimming in the ocean at the nearby beach. She had used her X-powder to transform her red spy jumpsuit into her 2-piece pink bathing suit.

"Clover, how can you think about swimming at a time like this!" Sam said in disgrace.

"Well, a girl's gotta have some fun ya know, Sam," Clover whined.

"But not at a time like this. We're not here to sunbathe or swim at the beach. We're here to stop Tim Scam!" I said in disgrace as well.

"Oh okay fine!" Clover said coming out and switching her bathing suit back to her red spy jumpsuit.

We began to walk back into the warehouse.

"Okay, now as I was saying, Clover, you and Alex take the right entryway of the warehouse inside. Mathew and I will take the left," Sam ordered.

"Gotcha, Sam," Alex said.

Sam tossed Alex an extra flashlight she kept with her just in case.

"Thanks, Sammy," Clover said.

"You're welcome," Sam said back.

We took our separate entryways and we looked around.

"See anything yet, Mathew?" Sam asked me.

"No, just dust, dust and more dust," I responded. My shirt was still over my nose to keep the dust away from my nostrils.

"Well, do what you can to keep yourself from catching an allergy. Keep looking around for something out of the ordinary,"

"I'll try my best," I said back to Sam.

Sam and I looked around together and I noticed a crack in the floor just before another dusty door.

"Hey, Sam. Look at this. Does this qualify as something out of the ordinary?" I asked, bringing my hand over to tell Sam to come where I was.

Sam came to where I was and shone her lantern down on the crack.

"I'd say this definitely qualifies as something out of the ordinary,"

Sam and I began to knock cautiously on the crack in the floor. When we knocked it a 7th time, it broke and we fell down a chute. We screamed as we fell down the chute and landed in a tub of pure fresh water. We began to climb out. I was first out, and I even lent out a hand to help Sam out of the water.

"Thanks, Mathew," Sam said.

"No problem, Sammy," I said.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, a little wet from landing in water, but other than that, I'm okay,"

I began to suspect something.

"Water? Sam, shine your lantern on whatever we landed in that was full of that water,"

Sam moved in her lantern close to get a good view of it. It was a hundred percent pure glass container that was the same size as the kind you see in factories.

"Sam, hand me some kind of container or something," I said.

"Sure thing, Mathew," Sam said.

Sam reached into her backpack and pulled out a beaker from a chemistry set she received for her 8th birthday.

"Here you go, Mathew,"

"Thanks, Sam,"

I took a scoopful of the water and showed it to Sam. It was pure blue. Sam put her finger into the water and took a taste.

"What's it taste like, Sam?" I asked.

"It tastes like regular water," Sam responded.

"Now that's really odd," I said.

"You said it, Mathew. I think this water substance has Jerry written all over it," Sam added.

"I'm with ya, Sam. Doesn't a normal abandoned place in the world that has a little water inside usually a greenish color?"

"You know, you've got a pretty good point there, Mathew. They usually are a greenish color in an abandoned place in the world," Sam said to me.

"I wonder how Clover and Alex are doing?" She wondered.

"Let's check this out with Jerry, Sam," I said.

"Good thinking, Mathew. I was going to say the same thing," Sam said back.

"Here. Hold the lantern,"

Sam handed the lantern to me while she opened up her X-powder and Jerry appeared on the small screeen.

"Hey, Jerry, it's Sam and Mathew. Listen, we found some water that Mathew and I landed in. I took a taste and it tasted like pure water. But it doesn't look like anything is happening to us. We're sending you a sample to check out," Sam said to Jerry.

"Well, I'll see what I can get out of it," Jerry said and hung up.

"Let's hope he comes up with something that's helpful," I hoped while I handed the lantern back to Sam.

"Yeah. With a mission like this one, you gotta hope that you get some helpful information from someone," Sam agreed.

Meanwhile, in the right section of the warehouse, Clover and Alex weren't having as much luck as Sam and I were.

"Do you see anything, Clover?" Alex asked.

"Not a thing. Just dust and spider webs and stuff," Clover responded.

"Gosh, I do hope Sam and Mathew are having better luck than we are," Alex said.

Alex and Clover continued walking through the abandoned warehouse while Alex pointed the flashlight all around the warehouse section they were in.

"Do you think we're on a wild goose chase, Alex?" Clover asked.

"I sure hope not," Alex said.

"If Tim Scam has a wild idea like -- oops," Clover was about to say when she tripped over an old antique rug. A trap door was hidden underneath.

"Hey, look. A trap door," Alex said.

"Let's see where it goes. Hopefully somewhere I can so totally adore," Clover said as she opened up the door.

Alex and Clover went down the stairs as carefully as they could until Clover accidentally tripped and collided into Alex and they both fell down the stairs. Alex had landed on the ground, and Clover had landed on her back.

"Clover, can you get your bony body off my back!" Alex said in pain.

"Sorry, Alex," Clover said, helping Alex to her feet.

"What is this place?" Alex asked.

Inside, it was like a cheese factory only without any cheese.

"Don't know, but we better give Mathew and Sam the buzz," Clover said.

"Wait, Clover, look at this," Alex said, noticing some blueprints of a zapping gun made by somebody.

"It looks like somebody's been busy making plans for a zap gun or something," Clover assumed.

"Let's call Sam and Mathew," Alex said.

Clover took out her X-powder and gave us a buzz.

"Hmm? Is that Jerry?" Sam asked when she heard her compowder.

She opened it up and Clover appeared on the screen.

"Oh, hey, girls. How's it coming?" Sam asked.

"We found a key clue. It's blueprints for making a zap gun or something," Alex said over the line.

"I think Scam has been doing this kind of work," Clover assumed.

"Well, we better meet outside to take a look at it. And maybe while we're at it, we can take a short break on the beach," Sam suggested.

"Yeah!" Alex and Clover cheered while each of them closed their X-powders.

"Do you think we need a break now, Sam?" I asked.

"Well, sure. My feet are getting a little sore, and I don't want to be complaining of sore feet and eventually slowing everybody down, including you," Sam explained.

"Good point, girlfriend," I said back to her.

We met up with Clover and Alex outside the warehouse. Fortunately, I didn't get an allergy or something from all the dust inside.
