"Hey guys, maybe we can try asking Flask for help using, what are they called, a weggy board?" Johnny suggested half sarcastically back on the bus. "I think you mean a Luigi board, Johnny." Tommy corrected. Giggling Sera said, "It's called a ouija board and it's pronounced wee-gee." "I don't care what it's called you're not doing it on here, I'm never letting spirits on this bus. Check that y'all shouldn't do it at all." Bobby said. "But what's so wrong with it?" Johnny asked. "I told you. I won't have spirits on this bus. Rather it's typically demons in here than spirits. And I don't think you want demons in here, do you?" Bobby asked. Arthur did 4-point cross symbol from head to chest to shoulders back to chest. "No. You're right, Bobby." Johnny said. "Ok. Now that we got that cleared up, let's get to the jail. No help will come of a pointless, stupid, and useless weegee board." Bobby said. "Will you let that go? It was a one time mention." Jack said. "Right. Back to the lab then, huh?" Bobby asked. " That's the plan." Jack replied.

"Wait, didn't they turn the zombie lab into a community center?" Jodake asked

"Yeah so he's probably not working there anymore and relocated somewhere." Katon replied.

"The question is, where?" Gearhead asked no one in particular. "Well let's start out with what we know he would be capable of. He's basically lost his job so he needs some place free or abandoned and for the caliber of work he was doing he definitely wasn't working out of his garage. He's going to need someplace away from prying eyes. So... there's an old abandoned super market not far from where the zombie lab was, let's try there."

When they reached the new lab back in the old hidden mall in New York, they searched every single file cabinet. "Well where the heck?" Jodake said throwing papers everywhere. How hard is it to find one damn paper?!" "Calm down, Jodake. We'll find it one way or another!" Jack said loudly getting up in his face. "If this was labeled A-Z we'd just have to look under S. For serum." Katon said. "Yes. But a mad scientist's lab wouldn't be that simple. Especially if he was an undercover agent for another mad man." Jodake said sighing. "Wait. Dr. Flask was killed for a reason. Whether he wasn't good enough for Etimis, or Etimis just didn't need him anymore, something. But you know what I think? I think he was doing something Etimis didn't like. Such as I don't know, making a cure?" Jack said holding up a blue vial. "But let's find that paper, first. Search the front of the cabinets, he was probably working on it right before he was killed. So he needed it close so he wouldn't forget where it was. I'll search other hidden places where it's easy to spot." So they all searched around for about half an hour and Jack found a drawer with a lock on it. "Gearhead, do you have anything that can get this lock off?" Jack asked. "Maybe, but why can't we just find the key?" Gearhead asked. "Two reasons. One, there's not enough time. Two, it'll take us a lot more time to find the key because it'll be hidden." Jack replied. "Ok. Let me get back to the bus to see what I can find." Gearhead said. "Actually I may be able to create a new key with metal." Jack said pressing his thumb to the lock and begin to slowly forge a key by aligning the tumblers until he felt a slight sharp tingle in his thumb, Back sighed recognizing the feeling of electricity. "Nevermind Gearhead, I think this is a dual planer lock the matching key has a electronic storage device with authorization codes built into it and the drawer is likely booby trapped so I think we will need the key after all." Jack said. "Alrighty." he replied. "But do you have any gear to spring the trap?" Jack asked. "Maybe. I'll go look on the bus." he told him. Gearhead then went away to the bus to try and get gear to defuse the trap. "Ok, what now?" Katon asked. "Go on back to the bus, everyone. I'll tell you what I found." Jack ordered. They all went and got on the bus, waiting. Gearhead got a drill that started drilling the door but surprisingly, there was no trap. Jack smashed the lock with his metal and opened the drawer and inside it found some papers. On it, it said, "What have I done? I gave Etimis everything he ever wanted, but he has been asking around at what kind of work I'm doing. I regret making that super-soldier serum for him. Even at how much I'd do for a lot of money. So, I'm creating a serum to undo the super soldier. If any of the Crazys are reading this, I'm dead and I need you to do one thing for me. Use this serum on Etimis, and take him down." Jack folded the paper, and found three bottles with blue liquid in it. He went back to the bus and showed everyone the paper, and the serum. "So, this is how it'll end?" Jodake asked. "It looks like it. I hope but...something tells me this isn't the end and we won't get out of this if one of you doesn't die." Jack told everyone. "What do you mean?" Arthur asked. "I mean, this is gonna be tough. And, we'll all die or a few of us." Jack replied. "No. None of us are. We're going to stop him, and end this strong. We have a plan, and it's gonna work. Bobby, to Havana. He'll be there." Jodake ordered.
