After some sleuthing, Professor Professor and Doctor Doctor discovered that the phone number printed on the masked figure's business card had to be a French phone number. They couldn't help but notice that the country code was given as "33" and that it followed a sequence of five double-digit numbers like so: +33 1 xx xx xx xx.

It was a nice starting point, but then they had to figure out the organization the phone number belonged to. So Professor Professor suggested that Victor and Anita head off to the United States and see if the American branch of U.Z.Z. would help them find Pineapple Chunks. Within just a few hours, Victor and Anita packed their bags and boarded a flight over to Seattle in the state of Washington. Upon arriving, they made their way to the nearest U.Z.Z. headquarters. They were greeted by Jeremy Jackson and Tamara Clark, two field agents who were currently working their way into the same rank as their British-based counterparts.

Jeremy Jackson was a fair-skinned man in his early twenties with mousy brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a forest green jumpsuit equipped with the customary utility belt. Meanwhile, his partner Tamara Clark appeared to be the same age as him. She was dark-skinned and had her dark hair done up in dreadlock buns; and she wore a sky blue jumpsuit equipped with the customary utility belt.

"Anything you need us to help you with?" Jeremy asked his counterparts.

"We're not expecting much," Anita replied. "But Victor and I would really appreciate it if you can trace the phone number to the source, that's all."

Jeremy exposed the palm of his right hand to them. "Mind if we see the business card your boss received?"

Anita shook her head. "Not at all. We're going to need all the help we can get."

"Great." Jeremy gestured at her. "Hand it over."

Anita did so, and Jeremy and Tamara gave the business card a once-over before he stashed it away in his pocket.

"Alright, we can do that," Jeremy said. "How much time do we have left?"

"Honestly, we're not really sure," Victor replied. "Could be a few days, a few hours... we just have to find Pineapple Chunks before it's too late. God knows what that masked person might be doing with him."

Jeremy and Tamara nodded in understanding. They knew the urgency of the situation and were determined to help Victor and Anita find Pineapple Chunks as quickly as possible. Victor and Anita followed their American counterparts into the American U.Z.Z. base, where they were soon led into the briefing room. Once inside, Jeremy and Tamara explained the whole situation to the acting chief Lexi Stockstill.

"Professor Professor sent you here, huh?" Lexi asked Victor and Anita. "Somehow, I'm not surprised."

"Yeah, yeah." Victor sighed. "He said you guys could help us track Pineapple Chunks' location through the phone number. Can you help us?"

Lexi gave him and Anita an uncertain smile. "We'll see what we can do."

"Thank you, Miss Stockstill." Anita placed her hand on Lexi's shoulder. "Please don't let us down."

About a few hours later, Lexi emerged from the laboratory where Professor Professor's counterpart Professor MacGuffin was currently working. Victor and Anita just stared at her hopefully.

"Well?" Anita asked. "Did you trace the location?"

Lexi took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, we were able to trace the location of the phone number. It seems to be coming from an abandoned warehouse somewhere within Paris."

Victor raised an eyebrow. "Wait, that's it? An abandoned warehouse?"

Lexi nodded again. "Yes, that's all we were able to find. It seems like the person behind this operation is using burner phones and constantly changing locations to avoid detection."

"So then where do we go from here?"

Lexi looked at him and Anita, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Well, I think an infiltration is in order. Perhaps you can figure out how they're operating out of the warehouse and where they may have taken your boss."

Jeremy, Tamara, Victor, and Anita exchanged glances. They knew that time was of the essence and they needed to act quickly.

Jeremy spoke up. "I think our best bet is to gather more intel on this abandoned warehouse. We need to know what we're up against before we make a move."

"Jeremy's right," Tamara chimed in. "We don't know who this mysterious masked person is or what they're capable of. All we know right now is that they're operating out of an abandoned warehouse in Paris and that they've got our bosses. If we can find this person, maybe we'll find our bosses, too."

The team agreed that gathering more information on the abandoned warehouse was their next step. They needed to know the layout, any security measures in place, and any potential clues that could lead them to their missing bosses. Lexi offered to use her connections within law enforcement to access satellite imagery of the warehouse and gather as much information as possible.

Within a few hours, Jeremy, Tamara, Victor, and Anita had all arrived in Paris. Anita took a quick look around of her surroundings. In front of her was the Louvre Museum, the former historic palace that housed everything from Roman sculptures to Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." On her left was the Champs-Elysées, a busy thoroughfare lined with expensive shops and restaurants. On her right was the Temple protestant de l'Oratoire du Louvre. On the Rue de Rivoli side, it displayed the Monument of Gaspard de Coligny of Châtillon, dedicated to the nobleman who served under the kings Francis I and Henry II during the Italian Wars, attaining great prominence both due to his military skill and his relationship with his uncle, the king's favourite Anne de Montmorency.

"Did you ever think you'd see anything more beautiful than this?" Anita asked dreamily.

"Never," Tamara replied. "But we need to focus right now. Our bosses' lives are at stake."

Jeremy nodded. "Right. Remind me, where did Lexi and Professor MacGuffin say that the warehouse was located again?"

"I think they said it's located just a few miles behind the Protestant church," Tamara replied. "It's supposed to be a large warehouse that not many people have seen before, not even us."

"Okay, gotcha."

They soon made their way on foot to the abandoned warehouse on foot. All four of them couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as they stood in front of the building. It was dilapidated, with broken windows and graffiti-covered walls. Neither of the four knew what to make of it. It seemed like a place that had been forgotten by time.

Jeremy took a deep breath and turned to his team. "Alright, let's split up and search the area for any clues or signs of our bosses. Anita, you take the left side of the warehouse. Tamara, you take the right side. Victor, you search around the back; and I'll check inside."

Victor gave a thumbs up. "Alright, sounds good to me."

"Hell yeah!" Tamara explained. "Let's do this!"
