4:23 p.m. -- Daytona Beach -- on one of Daytona's beaches
The girls had used their X-powders to switch from their spy jumpsuits to their bathing suits, while I did the same thing with my Game Boy Advance SP. Sam and I were wearing the same thing as earlier, Alex was wearing her 2 piece yellow bathing suit, and Clover was now wearing her 2 piece blue bathing suit. Alex and Clover had already gone swimming in the ocean, while Sam and I lay down together on the white sandy shores of the beach.
"What do you think could be up with that pure fresh water we landed in while we were in the warehouse, Sam?" I asked.
"I don't know, Mathew. But it wouldn't surprise me if that water was linked to what Tim Scam was using for his blueprints. Hopefully Jerry will have some kind of analysis on it if he calls us," Sam said to me.
Just as she finished her sentence, her X-powder rang. Sam opened it up while I gathered around her to see who it was. My right cheek was touching Sam's left cheek. It was Jerry.
"Aah. Laying on the beach I see," Jerry assumed.
"Yeah. We're taking a short break from the mission, So anyway, Jerry, whaddya have on that water sample we sent you?" Sam asked.
"Interesting sample, Sam. The water you sent me is 100 percent pure fresh like you predicted," Jerry responded.
"Is it linked to Tim Scam, Jer?" I asked.
"We have an assumption, but we aren't definite," Jerry said back.
"Jerry, Clover and Alex found some blueprints for some kind of zap gun or something. They think that Scam was doing this work. Could you scan this as well?" Sam said.
"Absolutely, Sam. I'll call you when I get something," Jerry said.
"Okay then. See you, Jer," Sam said and closed her X-powder.
She started to stand up.
"I'm gonna join Clover and Alex and swim with them. You comin' Mathew?"
"In a little while," I said back to her.
"Okay then,"
Sam started running into the ocean when she accidentally bumped into a girl. Both of them fell to the ground. Sam tried to help her up.
"Oh I'm really sorry! I didn't see you coming! Are you okay?"
"Oh sure I'm fine, thanks,"
The "girl" turned out to be Brittney. Sam was going nuts.
"Brittney?"
"Sam?"
"How's it going, girlfriend?"
"Hi, Sam. I just came here for a vacation by myself and whaddya know. I bump into you and I see you with Mathew. How are you 2 getting along with each other?" Brittney said. She was wearing her blue one piece bathing suit.
"Just great, Brittney. Thank you," Sam responded.
I just got up from laying down and went to take a swim. I noticed Brittney while I was walking to the water.
"Oh, hey, Brittney. I didn't notice you until now. How's it going?" I said.
"Hey, Mathew. Glad to see you two again, four if you count Clover and Alex," Brittney greeted.
We both slapped each other's hands.
"Hey, Britt, we're on a mission to stop Tim Scam again. Wanna help us out?" Sam asked.
It took Brittney a few minutes to answer that.
"Oh sure why not. I'm the only one who came here, so I guess I can help you four out,"
Sam and I were relieved.
"Oh good. Thanks, Brittney," I said to her.
"We're just taking a short break from our mission. When we finish our break, we can get back to the mission," Sam said, kind of correcting me.
She took to the water and dove in. Sam swam around the ocean like a fish. She was having the time of her life. Brittney and I joined in with her. All 5 of us came out of the ocean. Clover and Alex had noticed Brittney when they came out.
"Hey, Brittney. What are you doing here!" Clover said in complete joy.
"Yeah. What Clover said. What's up, Brittney?" Alex said also in joy.
"Hey, Clover. Hi, Alex. Great to see you again," Brittney said to them.
"Well, if we're done with the greetings, let's get back to the mission," Sam said.
"Exactly," I said, agreeing with Sam.
Without any questions asked, the girls used their X-powders and changed from their bathing suits to their spy jumpsuits. Sam did the same thing to Brittney. I used my GBA SP to switch from my shorts to my black and orange Red Bull KTM motocross T-shirt with Josh Hansen's last name on the back and underneath it was a 100.
"Nice outfit, Mathew," Brittney complimented.
"Thanks, Britt," I said back.
The girls and I ran back to the warehouse. Sam took out her lantern and we went back inside. The sky was turning orange. It was almost getting dark.
"Okay, we've gotta get back to finding more clues," Sam said.
Just when she finished her saying, her X-powder rang again. Sam took it out and opened it up. We gathered around her when she opened up her X-powder. It turned out to be Jerry.
"Hmm? Yeah, Jerry? Whaddya have?"
"I've got the results back from the blueprints you showed me. It turns out to be some kind of zap gun like how Clover and Alex assumed. They both were right. They do look like it was made for something bad for innocent people for Scam to zap," Jerry explained.
"But why would he be doing that to innocent people who've never heard of him or have never even laid a finger on him or something?" I asked.
"Guess we'll find that out later, Mathew. Thanks for the info, Jerry," Sam responded while she put her thumb and index finger to her chin.
We continued walking in the warehouse while I put the top of my shirt up to my nose again.
"In case you're wondering, Mathew's doing that because he's allergic to dust," Alex said to Brittney.
"Oh, okay," Brittney said back to her.
We split up again, taking the same ways we went when we first split up. Brittney came with me and Sam. When we came to where I saw the crack in the floor, Sam started to speak up.
"Brittney, before Mathew found a crack in the floor, I spotted another entryway and I think we need to check that out,"
"Okay then. Whatever you say, Sam," Brittney said back.
We walked through the entryway Sam found before I found the crack in the floor. I started to shake inside of myself.
"Geez. This place looks a little more creepier than daytime,"
"Come on, Mathew. Keep looking," Sam said to me.
I tried to slap myself out of a weird feeling I was suffering from when I said that the warehouse looked pretty creepy. While I was walking, I tripped on something and fell to the floor. I began sneezing a little bit.
"Oh no. I've got that allergy I was talking about,"
Brittney helped me up.
"Thanks, Britt,"
"My pleasure, Mathew," Brittney said back.
"What did you trip on, Mathew?" Sam asked me.
"I don't know. It's pretty dark in here, even with your lantern on, Sam," I answered.
I was exactly right. Sam's lantern was low on power. The batteries were about to go out.
"Oh no. Mathew's right. My lantern is low on juice!" Sam said stressed.
"We better hurry up and finish this soon. I don't know if I packed an extra set of batteries with me as well,"
Sam shone her lantern on what I tripped over. It turned out to be a small container filled with very warm energy used for the zap gun Tim Scam was working on.
"What is this?" Sam asked.
"Who knows, but it would make a great lava lamp or something," I said.
"It's definitely not a lamp or anything, but if you touch the container, it does feel a little nice and warm," Brittney said when she placed her hand on the container.
Sam and I tried it out. It did feel pretty warm.
"Hey, you're right, Brittney," Sam said.
"I'd say we check this out with the X-powder. Here, Brittney. Hold the lantern again for me,"
Brittney held the lantern, while Sam took out a pair of tweesers and tried taking out some of the energy. It turned out to be short strings of energy like electric spaghetti. Sam placed it on her X-powder and it did a scam.
"It's made of the same substance of the fresh water Mathew and I landed in," Sam said when the scan was done.
"Now, that's amazingly odd," I said.
"Not to mention confusing," Brittney said.
I started to sneeze again.
"You know something, Mathew? I think we should call this mission quits for the night, get you cured and finish this in the morning," Sam said to me.
"You're probably right, Sammy," I said to her in a very allergic tone of voice.
Clover and Alex didn't have any luck at all in their section of the warehouse. We met outside of the warehouse, and it was 95 percent close to being a pitch black sky.
"We better set up camp somewhere and find somewhere else to bathe ourselves," Sam said.
"I spotted a hot spring nearby. Let's go over there," Brittney said.
"Great idea, Brittney. Let's go. I need a hot bath like right now," Clover said.
"This mission has just been nothing but torture,"
Sam, Clover, Alex, Brittney and I stepped away from the warehouse while we followed Brittney to the hot spring she saw on her way to the beach.
"Here's the hot spring I told you about," Brittney said when she showed it to us. (A/n: I don't know if Daytona Beach has any hot springs, but I'm just pretending there is, even though I've never been to Daytona Beach or the east coast.)
The hot spring was very wide and huge. It was the length of 4 Olympic swimming pools, and lots of rocks were surrounding the edges.
"Whoa! Look at this thing. Brittney, I think you just hit the jackpot for sure," I said to her.
"Mm-hmm. What Mathew said," Sam added.
"Thanks, you 2. I think you'll like it. Now come on," Brittney said to us.
She unzipped her blue spy jumpsuit, removed her blue underclothes, and stepped into the hot spring. She began to relax instantly.
"Come on in, guys. The water's just fine,"
Brittney waved her hand over to tell us to come in with her.
"Should we?" I said to the girls.
"I'll join ya, Britt," Sam said.
She unzipped her green jumpsuit, removed her green underclothes, and stepped into the hot spring where Brittney was. Sam started relaxing instantly.
"Come on in, guys. Brittney's totally right. The water's just perfect,"
We decided to join in with them. Alex and Clover unzipped their spy jumpsuits, removed their underclothes and stepped in with Brittney and Sam. I began undressing myself and stepping in with them. We started relaxing instantly.
"Mmmmmm. This is nice. You girls were right," I said.
"Yeah, thanks, Mathew," Brittney said.
We began to talk to each other about the mission.
"I'd like to know is what's up with that container of energy I tripped over," I said.
"I would not even be the least bit surprised if that was linked to Tim Scam as well," Sam responded.
"Count me in," Brittney added.
"Why is that, Sammy?" Alex asked.
"Because if that's the ammo used to finish up the zap gun that Scam is working on, then we better be on our game if he plans on zapping us," Sam answered.
"Hel-lo. How could such a small container filled with such a small amount of energy be used as ammo for a zap gun of some sort?" Clover said sarcastically.
"Clover, this is way more serious than you think," I said to her, nodding my head in the process.
"Mathew's right, Clover," Brittney said, agreeing with me.
While we were relaxing, Sam spotted a man running through the trees.
"Look! I just saw someone! Come on, guys! After him!"
She began to stand up.
"Um, Sam, shouldn't we put some clothes on first?" I pointed out.
"Oopsie. I almost forgot," Sam said looking embarrassed.
We quickly got our clothes back on and ran after the man Sam had spotted.
