Brandy quickly glances behind her, as she gets to the street level. Alex is not in sight.
Whew! That was close! But now what do I do? Brandy thinks to herself, as she slows down to a walk. Everyone she meets on the street gives her a weird look, as she lugs her pillowcase like Santa Claus. They think she is a beggar.
Brandy realizes that she can't stay on the street too long, because Alex is most certainly following her. She needs to lose the WOOHP agent somewhere.
As she continues walking, she sees a shopping mall. PERFECT! she thinks. She'll lose herself among the Holiday shoppers! But just as Brandy gets to the mall entrance, a guard approaches her.
"You can't carry that in here!" he says as he points to the pillowcase. His concern is that she would use the pillowcase to shoplift. "If you come in here, you'll have to check it at Security, where we'll inventory its contents, and give you a claim receipt!"
Brandy quickly realizes she can't DO that! They'll find the money, and ask all kind of embarrassing questions. She is momentarily at a loss as to what to do next. She glances down the street, and receives a jolt!
It's the disguised Alex! She's only one block away, and closing fast!
How does that girl do it? No matter where I go, she seems to be able to find me! She thought it was the WOOHP suitcase, but it must be the money itself! Somehow WOOHP has treated the money with something so it can be tracked!
Brandy realizes it's either her or her pillowcase, as Alex makes a beeline straight toward her.
"Here!" says Brandy, as she twirls the pillowcase around and flings it at Alex's head, "This is what you want!" and Brandy darts into the Mall.
Brandy's aim was pretty good! She smacked Alex in the head, knocking her to the ground. Alex shakes the cobwebs from her head, but realizes that the pillowcase contains the remaining money! She puts a WOOHP seal on the pillowcase, and contacts WOOHP Security. She'll have to wait for them to pick up the money, before she can continue after Brandy.
As Brandy glances back in the Mall, she doesn't see Alex following her. But Brandy figures that Alex will resume the hunt soon, so she exits out the far door of the Mall and continues down the street. That WOOHP agent can look forever in that Mall, and she won't find me!
But Brandy is also feeling very sad. $25 million! Lost! I could have started my life anew in Australia, but WOOHP had to butt in! I wish I NEVER heard of WOOHP!
Now look at me! A hunted criminal! When Dr. Sonor explained her plan to me it sounded so good! Brandy continues to walk slowly, as she enters a park.
If I could only turn back the clock! I'd never join that Wacky Dr. Brianna Vincenza Sonor, or as we called her behind her back, wackybvs! I could be doing legit medical research now, but NOOOOOO! I had to try to get rich quick!
Brandy sits on a park bench, looking at the swans on the lake. How she wishes she could fly away from all this, just like they could! WOOHP probably will continue to hunt for her until they find her, and then it's jail time!
That thought really scared her! She was not a 'tough chick'! Prison would be a nightmare everyday of the week! How would she survive? She slowly buried her head in her lap and started to cry, silently.
After about five minutes, she feels a gentle hand on her shoulder. As she looks up, she is frightened to see Alex standing in front of her.
"Let's do this the easy way, shall we?" said Alex consolingly. "I won't even put handcuffs on you, if you willingly come with me!"
Brandy knew she couldn't get away, and she also knew that Alex could easily catch her if she ran.
"Please don't hurt me! I know what I did was stupid, and I'm sorry I threw that pillowcase at your head! I'll come quietly!" said a subdued Brandy, as she walked silently with Alex to an awaiting WOOHP Security vehicle.
"We'll take care of her now, Alex!" said a WOOHP Security Guard.
But Alex said, "I'd like to ride back to WOOHP with her."
Brandy was shocked, "You mean, after I tried to help frame you, and tried to knock you out with the pillowcase, you want to talk with me?"
"Yes," replied Alex, "I want to understand how you got in this mess and help you, if I can."
"But how can you be so understanding?" said Brandy in disbelief.
"Just my nature, I guess," said Alex as she got into the back of the Security vehicle, and they all headed back to WOOHP.
Debbie flies out of the airport parking lot and heads straight for the Interstate. But she only stays on the Interstate for two exits before she exits at the third.
There! That WOOHP agent will be looking for my car on the Interstate going North, and I'll take the back roads South! thought Debbie smugly to herself.
As Debbie drove down a two-lane highway, she sees a Municipal Airport off to her left.
Hmmmm! I wonder if they charter flights? I'll drive in and ask.
So Debbie pulls her car into the Municipal Airport and heads toward the Terminal. On entering she walks over to the desk.
"Pardon me, sir? Do you charter aircraft?"
"We most certainly do, Miss! What is your destination?"
"I'd like to go to New York City!"
"On what date?"
"Right now!"
"I'm sorry, miss! We would need to fly our special 727 down to the International Airport, first, and then fly you and your party there! The soonest we could arrange that is two days from now!"
"TWO DAYS?" Debbie's mind was racing. She couldn't wait that long. "How far toward New York can I get in one of the planes you have here?"
"We could fly you as far as Taos, New Mexico."
"That would be fine! When can we leave?"
The agent behind the counter looked at her funny. She sure is in a hurry! I'd better call the cops!
"We need to contact one of our pilots, and get the plane ready. We could be ready to leave in two hours."
TWO HOURS? That's still a long time to wait, but seeing she already ditched that WOOHP agent, she had lots of time. Or so she thought.
Clover had walked back to the International Terminal, and activated the jet part of her loafers, to get her to the roof. She then calmly walked over to her voice cycle and programmed the tracking dart frequency to her radar.
All right, Miss Thief! Now I can follow you easily! Clover started her cycle and took off, following Debbie's blip North.
But after about ten minutes, she noticed that the vehicle was now heading South, and was off of the Interstate. Clover continued to track the vehicle at a leisurely pace, until the blip stopped.
You are like sooooo captured! thought Clover to herself, as she now sped up. Soon she was within sight of the Municipal Airport. Clover debated in her mind whether to fly or drive to this Airport. She chose to fly, reasoning that Debbie may already have a plane, and be leaving.
Back at the Terminal, Debbie waits in the lounge for her charter aircraft, when she hears one of the waiters say, "Hey, Joe! Get a load of that motorcycle! It FLIES!"
Debbie gets up with a start, and runs over to the second story window and looks out. She sees Clover looking into her car, and noticing the garbage bag with the money in it. How in the world did she find me?
Clover contacts WOOHP Security to pick up the money. She then enters into the Terminal, and goes up to the desk.
"Pardon me, but have you seem this woman?" asks Clover, as she describes Debbie to the agent.
Debbie can clearly see Clover at the Desk. The agent motions to the upstairs Lounge! She's got to get out of here! But she can't go to her car! She'll have to see if she can grab one of the airplanes in the hangar area!
Debbie goes into a door meant for pilots only.
"Hey!" says one of the waiters.
Luckily, there are no pilots in the room. She finds the back staircase to the hangar, and runs down.
Soon Clover is in the Lounge area. "Have any of you seen a woman that looks like this?" and Clover starts to describe Debbie.
"Yes! A gal that looks like that just went into the Pilot Lounge! She's not allowed in there!"
"Thank you!" shouted Clover, as she ran through the Pilot Lounge door. A quick look showed no one there, so Clover ran over to the door leading to the hangar, and runs down the stairs. There is Debbie, trying to find a plane ready to go.
Debbie looks back in terror, as she sees Clover at the foot of the stairs. I must get away!
But all of the planes in the hangar are being serviced – none are ready for a flight!
Debbie runs toward the plane opening to the hangar, and notices that a small Beachcraft has just landed, and exited its passengers and pilot. She runs as fast as she can toward the plane, as the engine is still idling.
Clover is right behind, as she engaged the jet part of her loafers, on reaching the hangar floor, and spotting Debbie.
Debbie tries to climb up the three steps to get on the airplane, but Clover flies into her, knocking her off the steps.
"No way, you thief! I'm not letting you go!" says Clover, as she turns off her loafers, and sets up in a fighting stance, a few feet from Debbie.
Debbie realizes she is beaten. "I give up! Don't hit me again!" she cries.
WOOHP Security quickly closes in, and ushers Debbie into the back of their Security vehicle.
Clover starts to walk toward her cycle, when the Security guard, says embarrassingly, "Ah, Clover? We already took your cycle with her car! You'll have to ride back to WOOHP in the back seat with her."
"You WHAT?" replied Clover in anger, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Maybe that's not such a bad idea after all! I'd really like to get to know this gal better!" as she got in the back seat with Debbie.
Boss Kingsley is talking to his henchmen, at his ranch house.
"A nice day's work boys! And profitable too!"
Just then they hear a loud explosion.
"Ohhhh! Too bad! I think the little lady that once owned this suitcase, just had an accident!" All of the henchmen laugh. "I like it when there are no loose ends!
"Speaking of loose ends, where are Lefty and Brand? They should have taken care of that other person over an hour ago!"
"Well, boss," said one of the henchmen, "you know those two. They just LOVE their work!" And another round of laughter follows.
"Guess you're right, Hoss! Well, get a good nights rest, boys! Tomorrow we will make some big plans for the money in this suitcase!" said the Boss, as he wheeled the suitcase into his bedroom.
Big plans is right! I'll put this suitcase in my car later tonight when everyone's asleep and take off! I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams! thought Kingsley to himself.
Sam arrived in the knick of time! She pulled the fuse out of the barrel of TNT and used her laser lipstick to free a grateful Maggie. The two ladies then escaped the hotel. Sam climbed a nearby tree and fired her laser lipstick at the barrel causing it to explode.
"I probably should have left you in there with the TNT!" said Sam in a fake angry tone.
"Please don't! I'm sorry! I let greed get in the way of my common sense! I'm really not a criminal!" Maggie cried.
"Well, you can prove what you say is true by telling me what happened to the suitcase, and how you got in that room!"
"I noticed you following me. I panicked! I was talking to this lug….Kingston, no Kingsley. He noticed I was upset, and I told him you were following me. He offered to 'take care' of you for a fee. I opened the suitcase and gave him two stacks of bills. He then sent two henchmen off…"
"Who are now handcuffed and gagged in the Livery Stable…"
"He then offered to show me to a room in the hotel. He wanted to take the suitcase, but I insisted on taking it. As we got to the room, a hand with chloroform on a handkerchief covered my face, and I was out like a light! When I woke up, I was bound and gagged, and Kingsley had the suitcase! He said with a smirk, as one of his hoods light the fuse, 'It was a pleasure doing business with you, ma'am!' and he and the others walked out of the room, laughing!"
"Do you know where he went?"
"I remember him saying something about a ranch at the edge of town."
"Alright! I'm going to have to handcuff you in the Livery Stable with the other two hoods, so you don't get away!" Maggie looked at Sam in terror.
"PLEASE! Not there!"
Sam relented, "Okay, I'll handcuff you to this tree, but keep quiet! I'm going to signal WOOHP Security now. It will take them about thirty minutes to get here!" Maggie nodded her approval.
Sam walked toward the edge of town, and tracked the suitcase off to the East. She stealthily made her way toward the blip. She passed a guard location without raising the alarm, and kept heading toward the blip. As she got close to the blip, she noticed it was moving. She saw Boss Kingsley exiting the ranch house and quietly moving toward a vehicle.
Boss Kingsley was almost to his car, when he heard, "Going somewhere? Obviously there really isn't any honor among thieves!"
Kingsley whirled around with his pistol drawn, and faced Sam. But Sam was quicker with her laser lipstick. She fired her lipstick at his pistol, instantly melting the barrel all the way down to the clip.
"Who in Blue Blazes are you?" Kingsley demanded.
"I'm from WOOHP! I'm here to take the money back!" replied Sam.
"Over my dead body!"
"Actually, that could be arranged! What do you think all of those hoods in that house would think if they saw you taking the suitcase to a car?"
Kingsley started to sweat. If the guys in the ranch house saw him like this, he'd look like Swiss cheese from all the bullet holes he'd have in him.
"Well, let's not get hasty, miss! We can be partners! You know! 50-50!"
"Sorry! I want it all!" replied Sam as she approached Kingsley.
As she got close, Boss tried to hit her with a haymaker, but Sam dodged and nailed Kingsley in the head with a side kick. He flew backward toward the car, and his hand hit the horn!
Within seconds, cowboys with pistols and rifles were everywhere. As soon as the horn sounded, Sam went into the shadows, to wait for WOOHP.
"What's a goin' on here?" asked one of the cowboys. They all saw the suitcase close to the car, and Kingsley in the car.
"Now it's not what it looks like! That gal Lefty and Brand were supposed to take care of got away and tried to steal the suitcase! Luckily, I scared her off and saved it!" said a very nervous Boss Kingsley.
"Yeah? Why didn't you just raise the alarm? No gal can stand up to all of us!" said a suspicious cowboy, as the group surrounded Kingsley.
But before they could do anything, WOOHP Security arrived. The WOOHP Guards used magnetic weapons, immediately disarming all of the cowboys and pulling their weapons toward the WOOHP vehicles. The cowboys figured they could handle ten WOOHP agents without their guns. They were about to find out just how bad an idea that was.
The WOOHP Security guards waited for the 20 cowboys to get close, and then went into action. One guard nailed a cowboy with a karate chop, and another with a front kick. Another used a flying kick to take out two. And so it went. They cowboys were getting the thrashing of their lives.
But in the commotion, Boss Kingsley grabbed the suitcase, and threw it into the back of the car. He then ran to the driver's side of the car to make his getaway, but he came face to face with Sam!
"Sorry, 'Boss', but your ride is that WOOHP Security vehicle!" said Sam. Kingsley lunged at her, but she pretended to fall. She then used handstand kicks to force Kingsley away from the car.
"No little filly can do that to me!" he screamed, as he grabbed a nearby crowbar, and headed straight for Sam.
Sam dodged his attacks, as he swung wildly, trying to hit her. Again and again he would swing the heavy crowbar, and he'd always miss. After a few minutes, he needed to take a break.
That's when Sam said, "Tired? Why not go to sleep?" And she nailed him in the gut with a frontal kick, and used another to his head to knock him out.
The WOOHP guards hauled Kingsley off along with the money.
"Did you get those two in the Livery Stable?" Sam asked.
"Yes! And we got the gal by the tree, too!"
"Where is she?"
"We were going to put her in the Security Vehicle with the others," replied the guard, just as they were about to put Maggie in. Maggie was petrified with fear.
"No, she will ride back with me on my cycle!"
"Are you sure, Sam?"
"Yes!"
The WOOHP guards brought a grateful Maggie over to Sam.
Sam said, "I'm going to take you to WOOHP on my cycle. On the way we can have a long talk."
Dr. Sonor continues to drive at high speed toward the Mexican border.
If I can make it across the border, I'll be safe! Dr. Sonor thought to herself.
But as she approached the border crossing, she came upon a traffic jam. She quickly pulled into a nearby gas station to fuel up, and find out what was going on.
"Some to do about a criminal trying to cross the border!" said the cashier to Dr. Sonor, as she paid for her gas.
Well, I can't go to Mexico! I'll have to drive East, she decided.
Feeling like she had lost the WOOHP agent, Dr. Sonor slowed down, as she traveled East. That would also help her fuel longevity. She drove east for about one hour, when she casually glanced into her rearview mirror, as she rounded a corner. She snapped to abrupt attention! She saw a spec flying in the sky! Maybe it was nothing, but maybe it was WOOHP too.
Dr, Sonor quickly decided that traveling East on a well established road just would not do, so she turned left and headed out into the desert. She figured she would find a town soon. She was wrong.
Dr. Sonor drove for about two more hours, when she noticed her gas gauge was touching empty, and there was no gas station in sight. For that matter, there wasn't ANYTHING in sight! Soon her engine coughed, and she was out of gas. She has no idea where she was or where the next town was, but she would have to get out and walk. She made sure she took her money suitcase with her.
Jerry followed his tracking dart signal, and just missed Dr. Sonor at the gas station before the border. But he had some bad luck. A driver wasn't watching where they were going, and slammed into his cycle, destroying it. WOOHP needed two hours to get him a replacement, and he needed an hour to finally patch his homing blip to the radar scanner, fuel up the bike, and charge the solar battery to full capacity. Dr. Sonor had a three-hour head start.
Jerry finally got his replacement cycle going, and he followed the blip. Dr. Sonor was heading East, but then started North. Jerry followed until he found the abandoned car.
Dr. Sonor was only about half-an hour away, but she was tiring quickly. It was starting to get dark, and surprisingly cold. There was no shelter, so she curled up next to her suitcase. Well, what do I do now? I could go back to the car and start walking in the morning, she thought.
But then she saw a solitary headlight following her footpath. Maybe it was a local, so she began to wave him down. But as the light got closer, she realized it was that WOOHP agent!
Instinctively she ran, leaving the suitcase! Jerry stopped by the suitcase, put a WOOHP seal on it and contacted WOOHP to recover it. He would now catch the good Doctor.
"Doctor Sonor!" Jerry said over the loud speaker of his cycle, "You can't run away, and you can't hide! Give yourself up! It's over!" Jerry then slowly followed the running Doctor, on his cycle. He could easily catch up to her, but he wanted to give her the chance to make this easy.
Dr. Sonor tired quickly. She saw Jerry slowly catching up to her. He was right! There was no place to run to, or no place to hide. She stopped right next to a cactus. She was going to give up.
"Alright! I give up!" she said, as she started to walk toward the cycle. But she didn't notice the rattlesnake in her path. Instinctively the snake struck at her leg!
"Ahhhhh!" she cried as she staggered away from the snake.
Jerry quickly came over to her. He plainly saw the snake slither way. He reached into a pocket on the cycle, where WOOHP always had a snakebite kit.
"Easy, Doctor! I can treat the bite right here for you, and then we'll take you to the hospital!"
For the first time, Doctor Sonor realized that her pursuer was Jerry in disguise. Jerry finished the first aid, just as WOOHP arrived. They immediately loaded Doctor Sonor on a helicopter to take her to a nearby hospital. Jerry rode with them.
As she was being put on the copter, she said, "Why did you even bother, Jerry? After I tried to frame you and those girls for robbery! Why didn't you just let me die?"
Jerry responded, "Because WOOHP stands for the World Organization Of Human Protection! I couldn't just let you die! It would go against everything I have ever stood for in my life! My life's work is to help people!"
"So was mine! Why did you stop my research?"
"Doctor, it wasn't your research I wanted to stop, it was the way you were kidnapping test subjects!"
"Kidnapping!" for the first time, Doctor Sonor realized that she actually did kidnap test subjects for her research. In her zeal to accomplish her research goal, she had stooped to illegal means to gain test subjects.
"I……….I never looked at it that way, Jerry! And you are right! I deserved to be jailed!"
"That's the past, Brianna! You can always start fresh, beginning today!"
Soon the copter landed at the nearest hospital to get Doctor Sonor treatment. Thanks to Jerry's first aid, her life was saved!
