Mojo checks the walls with Grubber, then they stopped when they heard maniacal laughter. Grubber clings to Mojo, which made the chimp pull his gun out and snarl, "Alright, punk! Show yourself or I'll shoot! Come out nice and easy!" In an instant, Snake and Big Billy came out of the hallway with Nero and Midnight.

Mojo sighed in relief, "Oh, it's just you. Did you by any chance hear maniacal laughter? I didn't make that evil cackle, but somebody did." Grubber raspberries a no, then Billy and Snake said that they didn't. Snake said, "We heard the laugh. Find anything?" Nero sniffs near the staircase and runs up, making the group follow after the dog. Mojo said, "Alright, all of you check the rooms. I'll check the hallway with Nero. If you see anything suspicious, run as fast as you can. That is to say if you see any of the kidnappers or robbers, get away from them as fast as your legs could carry."

Everyone nodded, then Mojo and Nero walked down the hallway. Nero sniffed and began to bark loudly at the bookcase Mojo saw before with Midnight. Mojo asks, "What, you two? Hmmm, I think you're onto something." He looks at the bookcase and inspects if there's any crack, then he ran his fingers along the wall and says, "Aha, it is a secret passage!" On the other end, Mojo could hear muffled groans and shouts. Mojo gasped quietly to himself, then calls out, "Ace? Rebecca? Arturo? Are you in there?"

The muffled voices replied, "MUMMPH! MMMPH! MMMMH!"

Mojo looked at the bookcase and said, "I'll try to get you out of there, but I need to find a way in!" He looked at the books on the shelves and muttered to himself, "Oh, boy. This is going to take a while. Which book is it?"

Mojo pulls out every book, but he came towards one that is wedged in. He said, "This must be it. I hope it is." With a light tug, the bookcase move around and Mojo walked in. He looked to see three figures tied up to chairs and gagged, while one of the figures is also blindfolded. Mojo said, "Ace! Arturo! Rebecca!"

He ran towards Rebecca first and unties her ankles, then he rips the tape off Rebecca's mouth. She groaned as she tilted her head, "Ow! Mojo, is it really you?" Mojo reaches behind Rebecca's head to untie the blindfold and says as he takes it off Rebecca's eyes, "Yes, it is I. Rebecca, I was so scared that I lost you."

Rebecca said, "I was scared, too. While we have a nice chat, could you please untie us?" Ace and Arturo gave muffled grunts as they struggled, which made Mojo say, "Oh, right. Okay, I'll get you untied first." Mojo began to untie the ropes that held Rebecca to the chair, then he helps her up and gets behind to untie her wrists.

Rebecca rubs her wrists and goes towards Ace to untie him. She asks as she takes Ace's gag off, "Ace, there were two women with Lagos. Right?" Ace said, "Yeah, Femme Fatale and Sedusa." Rebecca finished untying Ace and helps him up, while Mojo did the same to Arturo. Mojo asks, "So, I was right the whole time about Lagos?"

Rebecca said, "Yeah, you were. Before I was tied up here, I was asleep and heard some clattering. I woke up a little to tell one of the guys to stop making so much noise and went back to sleep, but I woke up to see a dark figure and he attacked me. I tried to call for help, but he gagged and blindfolded me. He also tied me up and carried me over his shoulder, then I heard some creaking and my captor carried towards a chair. After he tied me to it, he began to gloat and I recognized his accent."

Rebecca bowed her head down sadly and finished, "I was so stupid, Mojo. I'm sorry." Mojo held Rebecca close for comfort and said, "No, none of this is your fault." As Rebecca gently hugs Mojo back, happy tears begin to seep from her eyes. "I'm just so glad we found each other. I was so afraid that I'd never see you again!"

Tears begin dripping from Mojo's own eyes as he replies, "I'm glad I found you too, Becca. I was so very much ready to give those creeps what for!" The gang smile and sigh as they watch this heartwarming scene. "Awwwww!"

Just then, Midnight slowly wanders into the room; Arturo begins shivering more than a plate of Jell-O in a windstorm, but when the little black cat gets close, she mews gently and looks up at him with dewy green eyes. "She helped us find the place where the three of you were hidden." Mojo notes.

"Aww, I guess I was wrong; black gatos es not bad luck after all." Arturo sighs as he gently strokes Midnight. The little cat purrs graciously and begins to gently lick Arturo's face. "Hee hee, that kinda' tickles!"

At this moment Nero peeks through the doorway; upon seeing the others rescued, he bounds in with a joyous bark, wagging his stubby tail, and rushes up to Ace and begins licking his face so exuberantly that he almost knocks his sunglasses clean off. "Who-oa, whoa! Heh, I'm happy ta see you too, boy!" Ace laughs.

"Duh, so whadda we do now?" Billy inquires.

A determined look crosses Mojo's face. "Now...to catch our crooks!"

"YEAH!" the others all cheer. Midnight gives a little angry hiss and Nero gives a small growl. Clearly, they were very much looking forward to putting a stop to these scoundrels too.
