A Redhead's Lunch

Author's note: Uh, Mat, didn't you mention time zones for chapters 3 and 4? Whatever. Let's finish this story.

Chapter 6: Mopping Up

01:30 PM - EMMA'S MILK AND COFFEE
The WOOHP capture team arrived, and took Emma and all the other EM&C employees away. We advised them about how to reverse the effects of Emma's Milk and Coffee.

LATER AT WOOHP
We arrived back just as Jerry was returning from his break. "Oh, hello, spies. I see you made it back from the mission okay. I- wait just a moment. I need to check my messages."
Jerry opened his wallet. "Well, I have one message from Leo. I wonder what he wanted." I remained silent.

Beep. "Hey, Jerry. It's me, Leo. The girls and I wanted to say hi, and I'd like to remind you that YOU NEVER GAVE US OUR GADGETS, YOU DUMMY, YOU! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET THIS MISSION COMPLETED WITHOUT THEM?" Beep.

This message left Jerry silent for a moment. Then, he spoke. "Did I not give you your gadgets?"
"You didn't, sir," a nearby WOOHP employee informed him. "They're on the table over there."

Jerry blushed a little. "I'm terribly sorry, spies. I- er- well- how DID you get the mission done without your gadgets, anyhow?"
Sam held up her lunch box. "My lunch happened to be the perfect substitute. You should know, Jerry. I still remember you agreeing with Leo about how I explained it to him."
"We forgive you for forgetting our gadgets," Alex added. "If we had to choose any mission for you to forget our gadgets, though, we'd probably choose this one."

Jerry laughed a little. "Well, then. Oh, Sam? Can I have the rest of your lunch to take to the WOOHP gadget labs? You know, for research purposes? I'm amazed at how well it worked."
"Sure. Here's my lunch box. I need the box and both thermoses back, though."

01:38 PM - BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
We arrived back at the cafeteria right before the end-of-lunch bell sounded. Mandy had already finished eating, and by now was almost fast asleep. She woke with a start and began strolling to the door as if nothing was wrong.
I know a good practical joke opportunity when I see one. As Mandy passed an open trash can, I grabbed the can and dumped it on her head. Every other student burst out laughing.
Mandy's reaction was no different than usual: "LEO!"

AFTER SCHOOL - SAM'S HOUSE
Sam rang the doorbell of her house. "Mom! I'm home from school!"
Her mother let Sam in. "Welcome home, honey. Did you enjoy your lunch?"
"I liked it. I'm glad you went to the trouble of making it for me, Mom. You should make me lunch again someday."
