"Excuse me, Mister Calamitous..." Wilford the bodyguard began.
"That's PROFESSOR Calamitous, you evil little... little..."
"Yes, get back to me on that. But anyways, by order of Master Strych, you have a new roommate."
"Who?" the professor inquired.
Wilford set a cage in the cell and left... with the cell door open. Idiot. But first, who's my "roommate"? Calamitous opened the cage and discovered none other than... "Goddard," Calamitous whispered.
Goddard whimpered.
"No, no! Don't make noise! We're going to escape!" Calamitous "shouted" quietly. "But I need your help."
Goddard opened his word processing flap. "What is going on? And why are you helping out?" it read. The question marks were twice as big as the letters.
"This torture has made me realize that evil is... well... evil... so just trust me, or else we'll be stuck in here while your master and his friends are destroyed!"
Goddard sighed, and his screen read "I'm going to regret this..."
Calamitous hopped on to Goddard as he went into flycycle mode. As they flew past the cells of Calvin Brankord and Skeeford Persony, Calamitous heard Eustace and two other voices coming from the main room. "Goddard, let's go outside the door, and listen..." Calamitous hopped off Goddard, and the dog gave him an eavesdropping device. However, these kind took about one minute to screw them into the wall, so Calamitous had to wait and watch himself...
"So what you're telling me..." Eustace scowled as he talked at the videophone, "is that the kids escaped? Again?"
"Yes, Master Strych..." Beautiful Gorgeous grimaced on camera.
"But there's good news," Jet said. "Or should I say, evil news..."
"Well, since I'm bored, let's hear you try to escape your fate."
"I," (Beautiful scowled at Jet) "or We... planted a tracking/listening device on one of them."
Eustace thought for a moment. "This could be quite useful. Which one?"
"The dark skinned girl," answered Beautiful.
"Very well then. I will see you at the SKS meeting in one week. You will have to congratulate me on my ridding the world of Neutron and company. Master Strych out."
Calamitous couldn't believe his daughter and the spy guy were helping this megalomaniac. "Traitor to her own kind," Calamitous mumbled... unfortunately, just audible enough for Wilford to hear from the next room. Calamitous did some quick thinking and flew himself and Goddard behind a boiler. Wilford went out in the hall, stood absolutely still for about 30 seconds, then returned to his room. Calamitous hopped back on Goddard and they exited the mansion.
