The chips were way too easy to implant.
After the security guards were completely knocked out into dream world, Jazz Hands, Myrna and Boogie Gus placed steel reinforced collars with his handmade computer chip inside. Then, a push of a button would put these men under his control. The way it should've been all along. He could only imagine the horror, terror, and sheer pain his newly formed minions could bring to the world.
And that was when Tim Scam was completely satisfied.
Placing his feet onto the former WOOHP guardian's desk, he let his thoughts swarm his head, a common pastime he had in prison. Now that he had the men under control, what would be his first move? He tried to process a plan but Jazz Hand's repeatedly calling out to him was too distracting.
"Scam!" He exclaimed in his thick accent. "We have been waiting here for 10 minutes and you want to take a catnap?"
"It's not a catnap." Tim seethed in anger. "I'm formulating my next move. Something you should know ab…oh wait, you've never gotten as far as I have so you have no idea, do you?" Jazz Hands gritted his teeth and stopped talking, which only made Scam smirk. "The next time I get back talk from you, you'll be wearing one of those collars. Capeesh?"
"Yes." Jazz Hands mumbled obediently.
"Now." Tim dug into his pockets and took out what looked like a detonator. "Go back to our hostages and when I give the signal, press that red button."
"Why? What does it do?"
"It puts our plan into action, let's put it that way." Jazz Hands mumbled something about not trusting him enough before he headed out into the hallway. Now, with Jazz Hands gone and Myrna and Boogie patrolling the place for more victims, he had the peace and quiet he oh so rightly deserved. Placing his feet up back on the desk, he managed to accidentally kick a box out of the way.
"Darn." He mumbled as he got up back again. Whoever was looking over him really wanted to make sure he didn't go through with his plan. Picking up the random items that fell out, he realized that these were probably some of the old man Jerry's stuff that he left behind a while back. Probably some things they missed and needed to get rid of for more room. Among the disarray of Bengay, ties, and meaningless letters from Jerry's mother, he managed to dig out a framed picture of 3 girls hugging each other. Scam's eyes widened in horror as he smashed the picture onto the floor, their smiles covered in glass.
He completely forgot about the 3 menaces, the spies!
Stepping on top of the broken frame, he called down Myrna and Boogie in urgency and they soon reached in a couple of mere seconds.
"Have any of you checked up on those girls?" He questioned. Myrna and Boogie looked towards each other with blank gazes. "Any of you imbeciles make sure those girls found nothing on us?!"
"You never told us." Boogie defended. He was about to retract his statement when he saw Scam about to snap.
"Well, I'm telling you now! Go eliminate those girls now! We don't need 3 pesky spies ruining our dream of world domination. Boogie, you go to London where Jerry lives and Myrna you go to Chicago, the last known location of the girls. They can't have time to retaliate." Scam could feel the panic churning in his stomach. If they found out, he would be arrested again. Charged for breaking out, keeping hostages, assault and robbery. No, he wouldn't let that happen.

Sam, Clover and Alex walked in wearily to the Lewis household where the distress and disappointment was evident on their face. Mrs. Lewis hoped that the girls were just playing some joke on her but, she knew it was impossible.
"Nothing?" She quietly asked. All three girls nodded their head simultaneously and that's when she felt like breaking down.
"I just don't get it." Sam pondered. "Jerry's knocked out, there's a fake video game helmet yet there's no sign of turmoil or ransom out there. Who would gain in hurting Jerry?"
"I don't know." Clover interrupted. "But I seriously think we need a catnap or something. Just relax for a little before heading out." She flicked on the television to some random station. "It's not like a new clue's gonna come up in the next 5 minutes."
We interrupt this program for a breaking news report.
All four women snapped their head around and focused on the television set intently.
Live from the WOOHP company headquarters in California, a large crowd of what looks like security guards has just left the building. But folks, they are not protecting anyone right now. They seem to be causing havoc in the city. Jimmy, get a close up of this…
What they saw on the television screen was total chaos. WOOHP security robbing stores, stealing cars, shouting chants of "Follow our master." All three girls look towards each other and nodded their head in agreement. This had to be the biggest clue of all.
"C'mon girls. Looks like we have some security tail to kick!" Alex said enthusiastically. She kicked to the left, then to the right and then kicked the door down, energy surging throughout her whole body. But, she could feel the sweat drop forming at the side of the head when Mrs. Lewis glared at her.
"Dear, I know you want to save my son but can you please keep my house intact?"
"Yeah…" She chuckled nervously. "Sorry about that."
They focused all of their attention onto getting into the jet that awaited them in the cellar/laboratory but, when they got within ten feet of the plane, a burst of blue, orange, and yellow flames destroyed it. Stepping out of the blaze were 2 enemies they never thought they'd see again.
"Boogie Gus?" Clover asked.
"And Myrna?!" Alex exclaimed.
"Yours truly." Said Myrna.
"Sent by the boss man himself, Tim Scam." Boogie Gus inserted.
"Tim Scam?!" All three said unanimously.
"That's right. And looks like the boss man doesn't want you interfering with the master plan." He held up a purple, funky looking boom box. "So stay quiet and maybe when we eliminate you, it won't be as painful."
"Nice try Boogie but you're not gonna get away with this!" Sam yelled. That was the official signal to attack and the girls went all out. Fists slamming into faces and legs pushing into bodies were the images presented in front of Mrs. Lewis's eyes.
She saw Boogie Gus grab the boom box again and switch it on. To that, she cried in horror, "Look out girls!"
They all turned their heads but it was too late. Neon green sonic waves forced them backwards a couple of feet until they landed right near some red vortex. They tried to walk forward but this force from the vortex kept sucking them in until they were lifted into the air, their voices echoing in the vortex.

Sam grabbed her head in her hands as it started pounding faster and faster. She looked around with her groggy eyes and saw that Clover and Alex were on the floor as well. She dragged her body over to them and shook each of them until they woke up.
"Ugh." Alex groaned. "What happened?"
"I don't know" Clover moaned. "But I have killer headache." She heard some sort of horn blaring from the cellar doors. "And that didn't make any better."
"What was that?" Alex asked
"Um…you guys wanna come check this out?" Sam yelled from the cellar door. Both girls rushed over to Sam's side and gasped in shock.
It was official, Tim Scam had taken over California.
