"Alex? Here?" said Donald, running to the tracker map. "That's not possible!" he shouted into the phone frantically looking around for the drone that had picked up Winston and Alex.
"How long before they arrive?" asked Donald.
"Already here." said Winston, strutting into the room confidently.
"You cocky son of a gun. How did you find Alex?" Donald asked.
"He fell out of the sky. Right on top of me." said Winston.
"He's with the medics?" asked Donald.
"Don't worry, Trump. He's gonna be fine. It was a Luger shot to the shoulder." said Winston.
"A LUGER SHOT?!" shouted Trump. "How did the Machting get to his universe? This can't be. The portal IS secure, right?"
"Of course." said Winston.
"WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED ON IT?!?" shouted Trump.
"When we first put it in the vault..." whispered Winston.
"Idiot! The Machting stole the portal! There is no other way they sent a spy to Perfecta!" said Trump.
"Calm down Donald." started Winston. "When Alex wakes up, we can ask him what happened. We can't be completely sure it was a Luger, can we?"
"Winston. Go. Check. The Portal." said Trump.
