Henry decided to try the magnet option first. He selected the item, and it appeared in his hand. He pointed the device toward Right Hand Man's office, and turned it on.

"AGH!" Tobias yelped out, his prosthetic leg dragging him across the rafters and into Henry. The both of them fell to the ground, where surprised, armed Toppats had found them

FAIL!

Well THAT wasn't very attractive...

Retry

With a frustrated sigh, he selected the next option.

A kind of ... console controller fell into Henry's hands.

Tobias tilted his head, confused. "A gaming controller? What are you going to do with that?"

"You'll see ..." he signed before switching the controller on. A nearby Toppat shot up straight, Then stumbled clumsily toward where the pair were.

Tobias still seemed confused. Then, Henry saw a switch being flipped in his brain. "Ohhh! Mind Control! Smart thinking ..."

The ex thief didn't respond, as he was trying to concentrate. He fiddled with the buttons on the controller, but the Toppat didn't seem to cooperate. The Toppat kept on smashing into walls and tripping over his own feet. Eventually, Henry was pressing the buttons so hard, that the controller broke, and the under-control Toppat collapsed onto the floor like a rag doll.

Whoops...

FAIL!

I told you it wasn't easy ...

Retry

Ughhhhhhhhhh ...

Henry look at his options again. There were two left to try;Wait, andTobias'sPlan.He really didn't want to try the plan, as he still didn't trust the boy yet. He decided to selectWaitinstead.

They sat there for a long while. Who know how much time had passed. Minutes? Hours even?

That didn't matter. Henry wanted this option to work, just so he can avoid Tobias's idea whenever possible.

Henry noticed the boy take off his lilac top hat and rummage through it. He pulled out a packet of chocolate coated biscuits. Tobias tore the packaging open, and offered one to Henry. "Want a Tam Tim?"

The former criminal had no idea what a Tam Tim even was. But, he accepted his offer, hesitantly grabbing the treat from Tobias's hand and chomping down.

Huh. This was actually pretty tasty ...

FAIL!Notthetime, guys!Retry

Welp, looks like Henry didn't have a choice. He decided to hear what the young man had to say.

"I have an idea ..." Tobias started fiddling with his prosthetic, clicking different mechanisms until it popped right off, His pant leg tied off on his stump. He handed Henry the false leg.

Henry grabbed the leg and signed with his free hand. "What are you doing?"

Tobias answered, getting ready to climb down. "Im going to cause a distraction. As soon as the other Toppats are lured away, you sneak into the office and search." He pointed to the leg. "When we're both safe, you hand the leg back, alright?"

Henry looked down at the leg, which looked more like a stainless steel limb enhancemener. It was cold to the touch. How Tobias dealt with this was beyond him.

The boy hopped down, surprising some Toppats as he huddled, pretending to be in distress.

"Oh man! It seems I have misplaced my leg! Oh jeez ..."

Henry watched as every Toppat in the hallway crowded around Tobias, several of them offering assistance. The group wondered away, looking for a leg that was never lost.

So far, so good ... Henry hopped down once the hallway was completely empty, and tried the office door. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked, and creaked open. Henry closed the door behind him once he was in, and leaned the prosthetic leg against the wall, and looked at his surroundings.

The office would've been completely plain if it weren't for the massive electronic pod that stood tall near the desk. Several wires tangled with eachother.

That must be where Right Hand Man charges or something... Henry made his way over to the desk, and noticed a picture frame in the corner. He picked it up out of curiosity, and examined it.

It seemed to be a wedding photo, but instead of a woman being in the bride's dress, it was the Toppat Leader, Reginald Copperbottom. He and a non-robotic Right Hand Man hugged each other happily, showing off their gold and silver rings to the camera.

He turned the picture frame over, and noticed something scribbled on the back.

Partners in love and in crime.

04.09.2011

Henry smiled a bit to himself. It was August right now, so next month would be Reginald's and Right's Ten Year Wedding Anniversary.

He put the frame down, and started his search.
