Within three months of opening their agency, Chary's and Lila's lives were going well; however, since they had been busy with many cases, the two were ready to have a vacation.
"Hi, Elina. Chary and I are going on vacation for a week or two, and we're not allowed to bring Connie and Patch along. Can you and Elliott dog-sit them while we're gone?" Lila called her friend Elina on the phone a few days before she and Chary left for their vacation.
"I guess so," Elina replied.
"I'll leave you guys a schedule for the dogs to show when to feed them, walk them, and a few appointments. Goodbye," Lila added. She then hung up and finished packing her bags. The day finally arrived for Chary and Lila to leave on their vacation!
Three hours before their flight, Elina and her brother Elliott came over with some small bags. Lila showed them around the house and where they kept the pet food, human food, and the guest rooms.
"Goodbye, everyone," Lila said before giving everyone who was going to stay at her house for the next week a hug. Chary and Lila picked up their bags, walked out, and closed the door.
When they arrived at the airport, they gasped and learned that Dr. Armando's Spermato henchmen were there! Suddenly they came forward and attacked the girls, tying them up. Out of the shadows, Dr. Armando came up and let out his terrible maniacal laugh.
"Spermatos, go to the house that these girls live in and make sure their precious dogs can't stop me!" Dr. Armando yelled out to his Spermato henchmen as he was dragging the girls with their luggage away.
Back at Chary and Lila's house, Elliott and Elina had brought Connie and Patch back home from their walk and were just about to have lunch when there was a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that could be? Can you answer the door, Elina?" asked Elliott.
"Sure thing," Elina replied. She went to the door, opened it, and gasped when she saw the Spermatos, quickly remembering the henchmen that Lila and Chary had talked about with Dr. Armando. Luckily, Elina was a master at gymnastics and was able to dodge the Spermatos until one of them knocked her out. Elliott grabbed the phone and tried to call Lila.
However, because Lila was tied up, she couldn't answer her phone, so Elliott called the police and said, "Police, help! Some people who look like Spermatos from Cirque du Soleil came to the house I'm in, knocked my sister out, and..." the Spermatos then knocked him out as well. They took Elina, Elliott, and the dogs (who were all unconscious) to the car and drove off.
Meanwhile, Dr. Armando had brought Lila and Chary back to his new evil lair. Dr. Armando pushed a button, and a hole opened up to reveal a room that had no other doors or windows. He untied the girls except for their hands and feet and dropped them into the space. Thankfully there was a pillow where they fell so Chary, and Lila landed safely.
"You may have stopped me last time; however, this time, there are no ways for you to escape so, by the time you do get out of here-which will be never-I will unleash my new machine and take over the world!" Dr. Armando yelled down to the girls. "Oh, and one more surprise. Spermatos!" he added. The Spermatos came out and were holding Elina and Elliott, who had their hands and feet tied together!
"Please let us go now!" Elina yelled at the Spermatos.
"We did nothing wrong, so we don't deserve to be in this room!" Elliott added as the Spermatos dropped them down into the room as well. Elina was able to break her ropes, do a perfect flip, and land feet first into the room. Elliott also landed safely because the pillow was still there from Chary and Lila's fall.
Just then, the Spermatos came back one more time and were holding the dogs. Elina quickly untied the ropes around the other people's hands and feet so Chary and Lila were able to catch the dogs before they landed on the ground.
