Our heroes had arrived at the disarmament ball. Jorge was driving the Gadgetmobile with Jeanette in the shotgun and the others in the back. At that same time, Colonel Nozzaire was guarding the vault.
"This is my well-deserved moment" he said to himself "Guarding the most powerful super weapons in the world. I cannot believe General Sir thought of putting that bucket of bolts, Gadget in charge"
Just then, our heroes drove right up to where Nozzaire was guarding.
"Hola, Colonel" said Jorge as he opened the window "How's the guarding going?"
"Better than you or Gadget could" Nozzaire said in a haughty manner.
"Hey colonel" Jeanette said as she leaned against Jorge's shoulder "Maybe you should take some time off and join the party when you have the chance? Sometime later, maybe?"
"I guess" said Nozzaire.
"See ya" said Jorge as they went to find a nice parking space.
"What a lovely young woman" Nozzaire remarked, then went back to pacing around the vault "Wait! That is girl that General Sir was talking about?"
Gadget, Jorge, Ivan and Jeanette went up an elevator to the ball, where very important people were dancing and having some food or whatever.
"Okay guys" Gadget said as he, Jorge and Ivan huddled up "You know the plan, right?"
"Yes Inspector" Ivan nodded.
"Wow" said Jeanette "Sure is a party in here"
"Si" Jorge nodded "By the way, I have something for you"
Jorge reached into his pocket and took out the bracelet with the vault's key inside of it.
"Here, a lovely bracelet to mach your lovely complexion, mi hijta" he put the bracelet on Jeanette's hand.
"Oh my god" Jeanette gasped "Thank you, Jorge. I love it"
Jeanette leaned in and kissed Jorge on his cheek, who then blushed.
"Come on" Jeanette grabbed Jorge's hand "Let's dance"
While Jorge and Jeanette started dancing, Gadget and Ivan decided to keep their eyes out for shady characters.
"Okay Ivan" said Gadget "We'll need to keep our eyes out for anything suspicious"
"In retrospect, I'd say that our perp must be somewhere in this facility" said Ivan "However, we must keep a low profile if we want to keep any unwanted attention from us"
"Indeed" said Gadget "Which is why we'll be disguising ourselves as waiters"
"Right behind you" said Ivan.
While our two other protagonists went to get changed, Jorge and Jeanette started dancing. Jorge swept Jeanette right off her feet and they were like, the life of the ball. He twirled her, dipped her and did I mention, sweep her off her feet? The song ended and Jorge caught Jeanette in his arms.
"Wow" said Jeanette "You're a really good dancer"
"Thanks" Jorge sheepishly grinned "My grandmother taught me how to do that"
Just then, Colonel Nozzaire came inside the ball and approached Jorge and Jeanette.
"Cruz" he said "I would like to have a word with you!"
"Si, Senor Nozzaire?" Jorge turned around.
Nozzaire then approached Jeanette "Bonjour mademoiselle. I am Colonel Jaques Nozzaire and I would like to apologize for Officer Cruz's behavior. I was on a top secret mission of course, it was a complete success, but not to worry, I am here to take care of you"
"But I'm happy with Officer Jorge" said Jeanette.
"What?" asked Nozzaire "That taco-breathed doofus?"
"That's an offensive stereotype, dude" Jorge told Nozzaire.
"Easy there Nozy" Jeanette took Nozzaire's arm off her shoulder "Jorge's been the perfect companion"
Jeanette then kissed Jorge on the cheek, who then blushed and started to get all fuzzy inside. He then started moving around like he was drunk and then accidentally hit Gadget in the back, which caused a large punching glove to hit Nozzaire and send him flying into the curtains and landing into the punch bowl.
Gadget shook Jorge like a doll "Jorge, this is no time to be going gaga!"
"Indeed" said Ivan "We have a mission to do and I must achieve perfectness if I want to meet my quota. After all, I did study at the University of Chicago and mastered the history of law enforcement for years and I will not let it go to waste!"
"Now get back to the mission, amigo" said Gadget "Vamos!"
"Okay" said Jorge.
While Jorge and Jeanette went back to dancing, Gadget and Ivan continued to investigate.
"Going undercover is hard work" Gadget told Ivan.
"Indeed" said Ivan "I studied for this at the academy and even I don't know what to do"
"What you need is to blend in" said Gadget "Like start dancing"
"I can't dance" said Ivan.
"Just move your feet to the rhythm" Gadget said as he started moving his mechanical hips.
"Okay, then" Ivan said as he started moving his hips "Whoa. Hey that feels good"
Soon enough, the two started getting the hang of dancing and having a good time doing it and moving to the music.
At that same time, Bruno, the same guy who put the mind control device on Nozzaire arrived carrying a large layer cake.
"Now the trap is set" he thought "Now to put the plan into action"
Bruno pressed a button on some sort of remote on his arm and spoke into some sort of intercom.
"Alright pal" he spoke into the thing "Time to search for the key to the vault"
Nozzaire started walking like some sort of mindless zombie and started picking things right off the tables and throwing them around. While that was happening, Gadget and Ivan were still moving to the music.
Just then, Gadget saw everything that was flying, courtesy of the colonel.
Ivan started singing along "To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light. Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave them all behind. To the beat of the rhythm of the night, oh, the rhythm of the night..."
"Ivan" Gadget shook Ivan's shoulder.
"Oh, sorry" said Ivan "Got carried away"
"Ivan look!" Gadget pointed to Nozzaire "It would seem that colonel is acting all weird. Like he has no free will or something"
"And that's not all he's throwing things around" Ivan added as he saw a flying plate.
"Wowsers" Gadget exclaimed.
The two then caught all of the plates that were being thrown at them and Nozzaire continued to search for the key to the vault.
"Something weird is going on and we'd better find out" said Gadget.
"Indeed" said Ivan "This is my first case and you never get a second chance at a first case!"
Gadget and Ivan then started to get back to the case. Just then, they saw some sort of shady character behind the plants.
"Gadget look over there" said Ivan "That guy looks pretty suspicious, hiding behind those plants, following Nozzaire and all"
"Maybe he's shy or something" Gadget suggested.
"I don't want to take any chances" said Ivan "I have deduced that he may be up to something. I don't want to take any chances"
"Good point, Ivan" said Gadget "I guess we'd better investigate. But we can't let him know we're cops, so we'll have to be quiet like ninjas"
"Right" said Ivan "I deduce that we must masquerade ourselves as waiters. That way we won't draw any unwanted attention"
"Indeed" said Gadget "Good thing we have tuxes on"
Gadget and Jorge then grabbed some silver platters and started to walk around like waiters, while secretly eavesdropping on Bruno.
Gadget grabbed Ivan's shoulders "Hold on Ivan, this waiter disguise is too obvious. Go go gadget, camouflage"
Gadget and Ivan then started to blend into the environment and eavesdrop on this prime suspect.
Author's Note:
Looks like Jorge is having the time of his life with Jeanette, but it looks like a certain shady character has plans of his own. Luckily, Gadget and Ivan are still undercover. Can they protect the key or will it be too late?
