Chapter 2: One More Time
2:04 AM, Maryland's Maximum Security Prison -- Coastline
Nick looked out the window of the Skyskimmer as the spies approached the island holding the prison. He'd never seen such a facility before: guards swarming around every possible exit; alarms that were programmed to go off at even the slightest movement; it would have been a villain's miracle for anyone to escape - not counting the "First Brat" mission.
"Wow. They really overdid it with this place, didn't they?" Nick said to Sam as they landed on the shore of the island.
"If you'll believe us, one time we were actually forced to free a prisoner from this place," Sam replied.
"Oh, it's no weirder than some of the cases Haruka and I have been on," Nick replied.
"Yeah. There was this one guy who wanted to replace every kind of floor, ceiling and wall with mirrors. Said something about wanting humanity to have nothing to hide, ever again. It took him hours to shut him up once he'd started blabbing about it," Haruka put in.
"These guys apparently have no end to the sheer weirdness," Nick said as they exited the Skyskimmer.
"Those guys must be wackos," Mathew inquired.
"That's not even the half of it," Haruka replied.
Inside the prison...
The spies had been checking out Phil's cell for a few minutes, but apparently nothing had come up.
"Man! This is so weird," Sam said before pocketing her X-Powder.
"Tell me about it! There's not a single sign of forced exit. Everything looks perfectly normal," Nick said, sighing in frustration.
Haruka was checking out one corner of the cell, snapping her fingers in thought, when a glowing something piqued her interest. "Hey, spies! I've got something!" she said, prompting the others to move over there.
"What is it, Haruka?" Mathew asked.
"I think I've found a clue," she replied, holding up a glowing disc and a prison guard's uniform tag.
"He's using the tunes again," Alex groaned.
"But why use them if he's got no one around to hear it?" Sam inquired.
Haruka suddenly caught something out the corner of her eye. It looked like wires... connected to a speaker that was lodged in the air holes of the glass door. "I got it!" Haruka shouted.
"What?" Alex said.
"Phil must have found a speaker somewhere that he wired to the air holes in the door. Then, he hooked up his record player and put the 'hypno-disc' in it. One of the guards who was walking by must have heard the music and became hypnotized. Jenkins probably persuaded the guard to open the door and let him escape," Haruka explained.
Sam clapped her hands for a bit. "That was amazing, Haruka!" she complimented.
"Hey, when you pay as much attention in biology class as I do, gathering the facts just comes naturally to you," Haruka said.
Just then, a prison guard walked by. Nick was about to say something when the guard opened the cell door.
"Um, mister guard? We're just the, um... cleaning crew," Alex said, thinking on her feet.
"Alex, I don't think that's what he's here for," Haruka said, noticing that the guard looked ready to kill. He took a swipe at our heroes, causing them all to scatter.
"What's going on here?" Alex exclaimed.
"He's probably been hypnotized," Nick said, dodging a windmill kick. "Spies, let's bail!"
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Clover shouted, and with that, all 6 agents ran out of the cell. As the guard began chasing them, they eventually came across a dead end with nothing but a glass window in front of them.
"Which way is out?" Mathew asked as the guard closed in on them.
"Straight ahead," Nick said, busting through the glass window and falling out. Everyone looked outside, and when they saw what Nick was doing, it caused Sam and Mathew to gasp in surprise: Nick was running along the wall of the building.
"How does he do that?" Mathew asked.
"Good track skills," Haruka simply replied.

"Wow!" I said.
We began running as fast as we could out of the Prison. With Nick running along the walls, and the rest of us on the ground, it seemed like we had a 100 percent chance of escaping safely.
"How much longer 'till the exit?" Clover asked while we continued running.
"It should be coming up pretty soon," Haruka said.
"Man, it feels like we're the villains and being chased," I said.
"Yeah, it sure does," Nick said, agreeing with me.
After running in circles a couple of times, we made it out of the prison. We all gathered together and we were breathing in relief.
"Is everyone here?" Alex asked.
"I think so," I said, looking around at everyone, but when I looked around for Sam, she was nowhere to be seen. "Wait a minute! Where's Sam?" I asked.
We all began looking around for Sam, but we couldn't find her anywhere. All we could find was her backpack with her gadgets inside.
"She was probably kidnapped by the guard that was chasing us," Haruka said.
"Poor Sammy," I said in sadness. I tried my hardest not to cry, but I fell to my knees.
"Don't worry, Mathew," Haruka said, coming to her knees and putting a comforting arm around my shoulder. "We'll find Sam and you two will be reunited again. Don't worry," she added.

Oh, boy. Sam's been kidnapped. But why? What would a guard want with her? We'll find out next time!
P.S. Sorry if this chapter seems a little short. We both kinda ran out of ideas for our parts quickly. I guess it comes with the accounts.
Over and out,
