"I dont understand." Robin began as all of the teenagers + erica were running down the stairs. "Youve seen this before?"
"not exactly" steve said
"Then what, exactly?" Robin questioned'
"All you beed to know is its bad" Dustin told her
"Really bad" steve said
"Like end of the human race as we know it kind of bad" Tristan added
"And you know about this how?" Robin asked the mexican boy
"Because ive been in it!" He told her. Steve instantly covered the boys mouth who never thinks before he speaks.
"Um, steve? Wheres your russian friend?" Erica asked. They all looked to see the russian that steve beat up was gone. Alarms started blaring. Steve ran up to the door and saw russians chasing after them.
"Go, go, go, go!" Stece ordered. Everybody complied and ran with the russian guards chasing after them.

Once all of them found a room to hide in, Steve, Tristan, and robin held the door shut while the russians were trying to break through
Erica found a vent for them to escape through.  Dustin tried getting Tristan, steve, and robin to come with him and Erica, but it didn't work
"Ill never forget you guys! I love you tristan!" Dustin yelled before leaving.
Thats when the Russians broke in. They all pointed their guns at the scoops ahoy workers.
Thats how Tristan Harrington found himself being interrogated by some evil russian.

* * *

"For the millionth time, i work at scoops ahoy!" Tristan Harrington said.
He got punched in the stomach
"What the hell?! Look at my outfit!" He yelled "Look at my outfit! You think i just wear this?! You think im a spy in a sailor's uniform?" Tristan got punched in the stomach again. He tasted a metalic liquid in his mouth. Blood. He spit the blood out of his mouth
"How did you get in?" The russian officer asked. (Lets call him Nikita).

Tristan gasped for air "I already told you, i told you before. Our delivery didn't come, me, my dad and friends... we thought that it was left at the loading dock, so we went in the room and then it turned into an elevator, and then... and then we dropped and then, next thing we know, i open my eyes, and were in this... wonderful facility" he explained "but i swear to god, nobody knows about us, nobody saw us. You could just let us go, alright? And im not gonna tell anybody about this, okay? Shit happens, life goes on. And, uh... ice — ice cream. Ice cream, okay? You guys know what ice cream is. Everybody loves ice cream. I dont know if you have some sort of russian ice cream or if that's considered gelato like the italians. I dont know what's what, but whatever you guys want, seriously. USS Butterscotch, i mean, you gotta try it. It is out of this world, im telling ya!" He begged

The russians started laughing, so Tristan started laughing with them nervously
"I like this kid!" Nikita laughed "USS... Butterscotch" he said through laughs. Nikita then bent down and asked "who do you work for?" Again for the millionth time
"Oh, come on. No, no! Seriously—"

The next thing Tristan knew was he was tied up in a chair that was tied up to steve and Robins chairs.
"Hey, would you guys stop yelling?" Tristan asked
"Tristan! Oh, my god!" Robin said in relief
"Are— Are you okay?" Steve asked his younger brother
"My ears are ringing... and i can barely breathe... my eye feels like its about of pop out of my skull... but, you know, apart from that, im doing pretty good" Tristan told the eldest Harrington boy
"Well, the good news is that ttheyre calling you a doctor" robin told the boy.

Tristan put his head up and looked around "is this his place of work?" He asked "i love the vibe"
Robin and Steve chuckled
"It's charming" steve added
"Yeah, tell me about it" robin said "so, okay... you see that table over there to your right? No, your other right, steve... and you see those scissors? Yeah, well, i think that if we all move at the same time, we could get over there, and then maybe Tristan could kick the table and knock them into his lap."
"And he could cut the binds" steve added
"And we could get out of here" Robin added
"Thise morons." Trustan said "They left scossors in here?"
"Yeah, morons" Robin laughed
"Total morons" steve said.

When the 2 Harrington boys and the Buckley girl tried to do robins plan but they fell through the process. Tristans nose started bleeding due to the fact that he fell face first. All of the teenagers got drugged.

* * *

"Honestly, i dont really feel anything" Tristan admitted "do you guys?"
"I mean... i — i feel fine." Robin said "i feel normal"
"Yeah, i feel — i feel fine. I kinda feel good" steve said
All of them chuckled
"You guys wanna know a secret?" Asked Tristan
"What?" Both robin and Steve asked
"I like it, too!" Tristan laughed "i feel good"
"Morons" steve smiled "they messed up the drug"
"They messed it up!" Robin repeated
Now, Tristan, Robin, and steve were yelling "morons!" To nobody
"There's definitely something wrong with us" robin commented

They all heard the metal door opening. In came Nikita and Dr Zharkov.
"Would now be a good time to tell you that i dont like doctors?" Robin asked
"Lets try this again, yes?" Nikita said, ignoring robins question "who do you work for?"
"Scoops" tristan chuckled "scoops ahoy"
"How did you find us?"
"Totally by accident"
The doctor then grabbed some pliers
"What is that shiny little toy?" Steve asked
"Where you going with that, doc?" Robin asked
Dr zharkov then grabbed Tristans finger and clamped the pliers to his finger nail.
"There was a code! We heard a code!" Robin said through tristan and steves screaming

"Code" nikita repeated, walking up to the buckley girl "what code?"
"The week is long. The silver cat feeds when Blue meets yellow in the west. Blah, blah, blah" robin told the russian man "you broadcast that stupid spy shit all over town, and we picked it up on our cerebro, and we cracked it in a day. A day! You think youre so smart... but three kids — who scoop ice cream for a living — cracked your code in a day. A day! and now, people know youre here."
"Who knows we are here?" Nikita asked
"Uh, well, dustin knows" steve said like it was common knowledge
"Hey, steve" robin said
"Yeah, dustin Henderson, he knows"  tristan added
"Tristan!" Robin scolded
"Dustin Henderson" nikita repeated "is it your small, curly haired friend who always holds your hand?" Nikita asked Tristan
"oh, curly haired." Steve nodded
"Dustin has great hair" tristan said
"Yeah he does. Small, too. Kind of like a fro. Yeah." Steve said
"Where is he?" Nikita asked
"Oh, hes long gone, you big asshole" tristan told the russian man
"He's probably calling hopper, and hoppers calling the US cavalry." Steve laughed
"There gonna come in here, cammando style, guns a blazin—" tristan was interrupted by steve saying "theyre gonna kick your sorry asses back to russia. Youre gonna be two pieces of toast."
They all snickered.
Nikita bent down to be steves height and asked "is that so?" Like he didn't believe the older boy
"Yeah" Tristan and steve said confidently.

Alarms started blaring. Guards were yelling. Tristan gave nikita a 'i told you so' look.

* * *

Minutes after nikita had left, Dustin came barging in yelling with some weapon tristan has never seen before. Dustin stabbed the evil doctor with it.
"Hey! Henderson!" Steve yelled in surprise as Dustin was untying their binds.
"Thats crazy... me and steve were just talking about you" tristan said
"Get ready to run." Was all Dustin said to the 3 scoops ahoy employees.
