The S.P.A.C's vehicle was parked in the back of the warehouse so the other team couldn't find it. Bob and Katelyn arrived with the plan in their head on what exactly what they were going to do. Katelyn glanced over at Bob, "There's no mistake that Skylar's inside, I checked, let's do this."
The team went inside with caution, being aware of their footsteps and any other unsuspecting noises that could be coming from the other side of the warehouse. As if a fine battle line was drawn between the two agencies; they stared at each other for a few minutes, just silence could be heard. Katelyn made an observation about only seeing their prime target's silhouette, "It's them, those two are the S.P.A.C, and the one in the shadows is Skylar. But, she's only hiding, not her partner, that shows that she is only trying to protect herself!"
Skylar spoke from the shadows, "It's just a precaution; there's a good chance that our kidnapper has been aware of everyone else in this warehouse, except for me. In fact, he'd be making you vanish as we speak."
Bob thought angrily to himself, "This is all just a waste of my time isn't it? Skylar must be waiting for Michael to come, it's just as I predicted."
His assistant felt agitated as well, "Skylar! It's been fifteen minutes! Nothing has happened to us yet!"
Bob being the Kidnapper stepped in, "It would seem that the Kidnapper is not with us now."
Skylar chuckled in her head a bit, "Very well, everyone seems to be safe, I'll step into the light now." As soon as the detective stepped out so you could her face, she directly made eye contact with Bob. Knowing that this was the same girl, he glared into her emotionless eyes. However, to calm down confusion amongst each other, they didn't acknowledge to the rest of the teams that they knew each other, and were sworn enemies.
Bob asked in a worried voice, "You're quiet Skylar, what's wrong? Are you still waiting for something?"
"Waiting. That's an excellent choice of words; yes I am waiting for the arrival of one final person. He'll be here soon, it's only a matter of time, there's only one entrance to this building and only one way to get out. That means he'll either open the door and walk inside, or he will just happen to peer in."
Katelyn knew exactly who the girl was talking about, but didn't want Marg to catch on, "Who is this person anyway?"
"Let's address him as P.S number 2, the one who is currently kidnapping people on the Kidnapper's behalf. He's bound to come here and bring the handbook with him. Then, he'll see me and try to make me disappear. My guess is in about 40 seconds he'll come through that door and try to make a move. But, whoever's identity isn't in the handbook, will be the real Kidnapper."
In the exact time Skylar announced, Michael came in through the door very quickly and began to write down the real identities of the S.P.A.C. Bob's plan was coming together as he thought to himself in pride, "I knew it! The handbook that you have Skylar is a decoy one with fake modifications. But, the one that Michael is carrying is the real one and it works. So, in about 30 seconds your little plan will foil." "Looks like I win Skylar, this time your really going to disappear, unlike that magic trick you performed three years ago!"
Marg exclaimed, "Oh no! In roughly about thirty seconds, we're going to disappear for good!"
At this moment while everyone is freaking out, Bob and Skylar remain calm, holding the tension between them. Two minutes pass, Skylar sighed, "Didn't I already tell you that we weren't going to disappear?"
"But, why! Kidnapper! I did everything you told me to do!" Michael held his head in his hands in defeat, upset with himself.
"Marg! Take him now!" Skylar ordered for her partner to put Michael in an arm lock with his hands behind his back, in a position as to where he wasn't going anywhere, only if he knew the technique to break free.
Skylar picked up the handbook from where Marg was standing and opened it up, "If you didn't believe me before, take a look for yourselves. I can confirm that the first two photos and names are the real identities of the S.P.A.C members, otherwise known as us. The other one is your assistant. And the only one that isn't in here is Bob, so that concludes that he is the Kidnapper. If that weren't enough, Michael also addressed you as the Kidnapper, and said he did what you told him too."
Bob was not buying the reality, he was convinced enough that he was going to win and refused to believe the truth, "It's a trap! This whole thing was a set-up! This is all part of Skylar's plan to confine me isn't it? Isn't it a little odd how no one vanished? You are the same Skylar that Michael eliminated along with Marg! Why are you still here?"
"I believe I already told you no one would disappear because Marg skillfully switched and copied parts of the handbooks. I have one too that we made, and it's obviously a fake. Also, if you're describing the incident three years ago where we both faked our supposed deaths, let's just say that I planned for this to be happening. When the lights flickered due to the power draining, I snuck under the floorboards where my seat was located at, and Marg and I escaped: unscathed. We have been tracking you ever since, and now here we are today."
"That's impossible!"
Marg spoke up in a stern voice, "You know who you are, just a moment ago you were saying it looks like you win. It's Skylar and mine's victory against you. How much more of a confession do we need?" She proceeded to go over and apprehend him, but he flipped out.
"No! Stop it!" He runs to the wall and places his hands on it, trying to regain himself. Everyone in the room stops and everyone looks at him for a moment, waiting for him to say something, "Useless fools, as if they could ever understand." He looked over at the detective, "Skylar! Here's some food for thought, the handbook you have, and the one Michael was carrying, are they both real?"
Skylar didn't know what he was planning to do, "What is he up too? Is he bluffing?"
"At the moment, only I know where the real one is. If you truly want to defeat the Kidnapper, as well as test the handbook, I guess you'll have to write down my name or Michael's. It's the only way to see if it's real…OR FAKE!" As fast as lightning, he grabbed a piece of the handbook out of his jacket pocket and started writing down Skylar's real name with a pen.
"He has a piece of the handbook!" Marg shouted.
Michael whipped his gun out and shot Bob in the hand, making him stop writing immediately, and grab his hand in wrenching pain, watching the blood seep from his appendages. In surprise as everyone else, Bob shouts back at him, "Michael! Who do you think you're shooting at? Don't mess with me!"
"Or what? What was all of this for then? The people you made disappear; I was never fully committed to your devious scheme! You used me!" Firing another shot, he managed to hit Bob in his left shoulder.
The Kidnapper was asking for it though, "All of the people against justice lose! They're fools!"
"You're calling THEM fools!" Michael forcefully jams his finger at Marg and Skylar, "Then you're calling me a fool too!"
Bob continues trying to kill Skylar, this time he's using his own blood on the handbook paper. The rebel couldn't take it anymore, he fired a third bullet in his anger and hatred for this man, hitting dead center in his ribs, making him drop the paper, now dissolving in it's own user's blood.
As the Kidnapper is fatally injured he exclaims to Michael, "What are you waiting for? Use the paper and pen to finish this!"
Marg was still staring at the chaos that she had just witnessed and asked Skylar, "It's finally over now, isn't it Skylar?"
"Yes, now for aftershock."
The 'aftershock' that Skylar was referring too was Michael going into shock due to shooting a person so many times by his flaming anger, now he didn't know what to do. In this game of killing innocent people, he only helped so that he could side with his childhood friend, Skylar, in the end along with her partner in crime, defeating this mastermind of evil in the end of it all. His emotions were mixed up and he was mortally confused, "Just get me away from here, please!"
Skylar walked over to Michael who was now on his knees, and put a comforting hand on his back, "No need to worry Michael, you'll be in good hands now. I knew what your plan was from the start when you came and gave us information. You don't have to apologize, you're one of us now."
While this heartwarming scene is taking place, Bob has tried to slip out the open entrance door to make a run for it. Marg notice that this is occurring, "Wait, Bob! He's getting away!"
"Marg! It's unlikely that he'll have anymore remaining pieces of the handbook, and with all of those bullets; he's not going to go far. He'll stop running soon, even if we leave him alone."
She knew her partner was right, "I suppose, but where do we go now?"
"First, let's get Michael under control. Then, there's only one place we can go back too, the S.P.A.C." The newly made trio walks out into the dimming sunrays and hops in the certified car. Driving away, Skylar keeps her thoughts to herself on what had just happened. They decide not to announce the news immediately worldwide, but wait until they find Bob's body when they send the forensics team out.
The student stumbles his way around the property of the warehouse and tries to catch his breath, gasping for air due to lack of blood. The bullet wounds are hurting every time his ribcage moves, and his vision dances with tiny, black spots. Heart beating even more rapidly he falls down face first on the ground, trying to turn over so he can see the sky one last time. The indigo light shines through and lands on his body and surrounding area. Bob's eyes close very slowly and he breathed his last breath.
