Odie finally managed to wiggle his way out of the air vent, and then grabbed fish bowl. He slowly made his way to the floor.
"Good job, Odie," SpongeBob said. "Now we just need to find the place with the Krabby Patties."
"Urf!" said Odie.
Odie peeked around a corner, the fishbowl tight in his grasp. Then he ran down the hall to the next corner.
Next he checked to make sure it was clear again.
Just when they were about to run down another hall, they heard footsteps.
"Quick! Hide!" SpongeBob hissed.
Odie looked around frantically.
He spotted a broom closet and dove inside.
Odie peeked out the window to look.
A man in a lab coat was walking past, pushing a cart.
And on the cart was a jumbo load of Krabby Patties!
Odie barked triumphantly and held the bowl up for SpongeBob to see.
"Krabby Patties!" he cheered. "We need to follow him!"
Odie nodded and slunk out of the closet.
Keeping as quiet as he could, he tiptoed behind the man, diving behind various objects in the hall.
Finally, the man pushed the cart through a door and disappeared.
Odie dashed inside.
He failed to see the name on the window that was on the door.
MAIN LAB. NO ADMITTANCE. KEEP OUT. INTRUDERS SHALL BE IMPRISONED AT ONCE.
Garfield was still running down the road.
No, check that.
He was waddling down the road.
"Can't you go any faster?" Squidward complained.
"Can't you get a less nasal voice?" Garfield shot back.
Then Patrick saw smoke pouring into the sky.
"Hey, look!" he shouted. "The sky's on fire!"
Garfield glanced at the smoke.
"Naw, that's just the building we're going to. We just need to get in somehow."
"How?" asked Sandy.
Garfield paused for a second.
Then he got an idea.
Garfield stood at the gate.
Patrick, Squidward, Mr Krabs and Sandy hid behind a cement block.
"Wait for it…," he whispered.
A man in a trench coat walked up.
Garfield glanced at the others.
"Watch this."
The man was about to enter when he heard a noise.
"Meow."
He looked down and saw Garfield putting on his most hideously cute face.
"Mew. Mrrrow."
Squidward grimaced.
"Oh, that is disgusting," he muttered.
"Well, hello, little kitty," the man said.
"Here it comes," Garfield said.
The man went to pet Garfield.
And that was the cue.
"Now!" said Garfield.
"HI-YAH!" screamed Sandy.
Sandy leapt from the hiding place and karate chopped the man to ground.
"AHH! MAD SQUIRREL! MAD SQUIRREL!" he shouted.
"HO-YAH! HA! HO! YEE-AH!" Sandy screeched.
Finally, the man tipped over and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
"Nice," said Garfield.
"Shoot, that was nothin'," said Sandy modestly.
Garfield quickly yanked the trench coat off of the man and handed it to Mr Krabs.
Krabs used his claws to cut the coat down to size until it fit Garfield.
Then Garfield put on the coat, a pair of sunglasses, and the rain hat.
Everyone dove into the pockets.
"Let's go," said Garfield coolly.
Garfield walked around the corner and towards the gate.
The security camera looked at him.
Garfield simply waved, flashed an ID tag, and carried on his way.
The camera did nothing else.
Once they were a safe distance away, Patrick glanced out of the pocket.
"We're in!" he whispered.
Garfield nodded and entered the front door.
He glanced around the building and searched. He ran towards a desk and searched the papers.
Mr Krabs jumped out and looked around them.
"Let's see…," he said. "K…K…K…Kr…Kra…Krabby Patty! Here we go!"
Krabs handed Garfield the portfolio.
"Floor six. Main lab," he said.
Krabs jumped back into the pocket, and Garfield ran into the elevator and pressed the button.
Back in the lab, Odie and SpongeBob were staring at what they saw.
Several guys in lab coats running around, holding Krabby Patties, putting them under rulers, getting sauce samples, putting lettuce under microscopes, looking at a Krabby Patty diagram, and so on and so forth.
"Wow," said SpongeBob.
"Hmmm," said Odie.
SpongeBob looked around and saw the cart of Krabby Patties.
There was a clipboard on it.
"Quick! Over there!" SpongeBob said.
Odie saw the cart, and slipped and slunk past everyone until he was able to hide under the cart and grab the clipboard. He set it up for SpongeBob to read.
"Let's see… Wow, I think some of this stuff is Norwegian. No, wait a minute! It says the formula is almost figured out!" SpongeBob gasped.
"I'VE ALMOST FIGURED IT OUT!" a voice shouted.
Odie and SpongeBob looked up.
A man in a lab coat was holding up a piece of paper.
"It's right here!" he said eagerly.
SpongeBob gasped.
"We've got to stop him!" he wailed.
Odie growled and leapt from cart.
"The secret formula is—"
"BARK!"
Everyone looked up for a brief second as Odie collided with him and knocked him to the ground.
"AAAHH!"
CRASH!
Out in the hall, Garfield was walking when he heard the noise come outside the door.
"Quick! In there!" shouted Krabs.
Garfield ran into the main lab and gasped.
"What in the world…?" he asked.
Odie had sunk his teeth into the scientist's hand and was growling.
"OUCH! OUCH! STOP IT! HELP! GET HIM OFF!"
"GO, ODIE! GO, ODIE! GO, GO, GO!" cheered SpongeBob, who was jumping up and down in the bowl. "DESTORY THE PAPER SO NO ONE WILL KNOW! YAY!"
"SpongeBob!" exclaimed Patrick.
"Patrick!" cried SpongeBob, overjoyed to see his best friend again.
Patrick, Squidward, Sandy and Krabs jumped out of Garfield's pocket and ran towards the fishbowl.
"SpongeBob, me boy! Are ye alright?" Krabs shouted.
"I'm fine," Mr Krabs," said SpongeBob. "Odie and me just saved the formula!"
"'At's me boy! Now let's get out of here!"
"But wait!" said SpongeBob. "The formula's still not safe! We've gotta destroy everything to keep the formula from being discovered again."
"Well, what'll we do?" asked Squidward, who jumped away from a sudden collapsing pipe.
"Just smash stuff!" said SpongeBob.
"Smashing stuff! Awesome!" whooped Patrick.
And everyone set to work…at destroying stuff.
This should be fun.
