After getting back from their England adventure (which was one of their most intense experiences so far), the members of C.E.L.E. decided for their next world tour destination; they would go not as far from Minnesota and go to New York. After arriving in New York, they checked into the Plaza Hotel, which was one of the fanciest hotels in New York. The next day they decided to go to where the twin towers used to stand.
"I heard that both of the towers had 110 floors, and the attacks killed 2,996 people," Chary said solemnly. They then went to the Empire State Building, which was the tallest tower in New York. They finally went to the Statue of Liberty.
"Let's get ready for anything because according to my calculations, Felix will come here soon and try to steal the Statue of Liberty right.......now!" Lila yelled. At the moment when she said 'now,' all four of them saw Felix in his helicopter came and threw ropes around the Statue of Liberty!
"How were you able to figure out where I was going to strike in New York?" Felix asked from the top of the statue.
"Maybe knowing what your last attacks were and with the knowledge of the Statue of Liberty being one of New York's most famous monuments," Lila replied. "Elliott, throw your grappling hook up to the torch where Felix is standing, and all of us can climb up to it!" Lila yelled.
After Elliott threw his grappling hook attached to the rope, all four people at the bottom climbed up to the top of the torch of the Statue of Liberty.
"So we meet again. But you are too late to stop me now. For I put my helicopter on autopilot, so now it will fly away right now!" Felix yelled as the helicopter began to take off.
"Elliott and Elina, you deal with Felix. Chary, you and I will try to drive the helicopter back to where the Statue of Liberty!" Lila yelled out.
Elliott walked up to Felix in the front and asked some questions, and Elina went to the back and was ready to attack. However, just before she was able to hit him, Felix turned around, picked Elina up, and brought the arm that he was holding her over the Statue of Liberty!
"If you try to throw her over, you're going to need to get through me first!" Elliott yelled to Felix. During this time, Chary and Lila climbed up the rope that was attached to the statue and made it into the helicopter.
"I think I will control the helicopter, and you make sure that Felix doesn't come into here," Lila told Chary.
"Well, thinking of the last time you flew a helicopter, I think I control it this time," Chary replied, thinking of the last time she flew a helicopter which she flew so fast that the riders almost fell out of the helicopter and Christ the Redeemer. Chary ran to the controls and began to fly the aircraft back where the Statue of Liberty usually stood at a slower speed than Lila did.
Meanwhile, Felix was still holding on to Elina and talking to Elliott. During this time, Elliott walked behind Felix, told Elina to hold on to him, held onto her with one hand, and with the other began to loosen Felix's grip on Elina. However, Elliott had just finished loosening Felix's grip on Elina when Felix turned around to see that he was no longer holding on to Elina began to lift up Elliott, who was now holding on to Elina.
"Felix, let my friends go!" Lila yelled from the helicopter.
"Why should I? Because some small wimpy girl told me so?" Felix replied. So Lila jumped out of the helicopter and onto the Statue of Liberty right next to Felix.
"If you do not let my friends go, I will free them myself," Lila told Felix. She went up to Felix, and he grabbed her hand with his free hand. However, Felix did not know that he was holding her non-dominant hand, so Lila grabbed Felix's arm that he was holding her hands with and loosened his grip, so Elina and Elliott were free. She then punched Felix in the face, and he let go of her other hand.
Finally, Chary made it back to where the Statue of Liberty usually stood, and after the plane went down, the Statue of Liberty was back where it belonged. After getting down from the Statue of Liberty, they brought Felix to jail and returned to their hotel.
"Wow, Chary. I didn't know you were so good you were at flying a helicopter. When did you learn?" Lila asked when they were having New York cheesecake.
"We learned during spy school, why aren't you as good?" Chary replied.
"You worked harder," Lila replied.
