~Gold City Hotel, South Africa~
Lewis: *Returns from the Reception Desk* Zheng is registered in Room 580.
Gregory: Alright, they said the meeting's at 5:00. That gives us 10 minutes.
Hilda: After what he put us through, are you sure you want to trust him to pull this off?
Jeremy: I trust Greg. He's finally putting his trust in us.
SpongeBob: We'll be ready in case things go sour.
Gregory: ... You sure know how to turn on the heat.
{5 Minutes Later}
~Outside~
*Two of the B-Platoon members arrive*
Male 3: So, this is Gold City. I expected more.
Female 4: Like what? The appearance of El Dorado?
Male 3: A more... beautiful exterior. If the interior is beautiful, then so should the exterior.
Female 4: *Smirks* How "beautiful" are we talking about, Miyabi?
Miyabi: ... *Smirks* As beautiful as you, Mako.
*They both giggle and enter the hotel*
~Inside~
Victor: *Spots the two enter* Maya... *Points to them*
Maya: *Spots them* I see them. *Checks her phone* 4:55.
David: I believe that's the other team's cue.
~Room 580~
Steven: *Knocks on the door*
Man: What do you want?
Steven: Room service.
Man: Room service?
Steven: For Mister Zheng.
Man: One second. *Approaches and opens the door*
Steven: You are Mister Zheng, right?
Man: I am, but I wasn't expecting any room service.
Steven: You didn't?
Zheng: *Shakes his head* Did you get the name wrong?
Steven: Let me check the order. *Grabs something from his jacket*
Zheng: ... *Examines Steven* For a hotel worker, you're hardly dressed to fit the role.
Steven: *?* Pardon?
Zheng: Why are you dressed so casually?
Steven: Oh, this jacket has extra pockets for... anything I need to use. You know, like this thing. *Pulls out a stun gun and zaps Zheng silly* ... Whoops. Forgot to turn it off.
Zheng: ... *Falls into slumber*
Steven: I did it!
Jeremy: Thanks, Steve.
~Downstairs Diner~
Miyabi: *Checking his phone* 5:05. Where is he?
Gregory: And that's my cue. *Approaches them*
Louise: Looks like the other team did their part.
Gregory: Excuse me.
Mako: *She and Miyabi turn to him* Can we help you?
Gregory: Name's Gregory Thornton. Zheng sent me.
Miyabi: Where is Zheng? We're supposed to deal with him, but he's not showing up.
