Meanwhile in the EHP HQs...
"Pekka, we have been waiting for five minutes," Sidney tells Pekka, crossing his arms. "Where do you think they're at?"
"En ymmärrä," Pekka replies. (I don't understand you.)
"So you can't speak English?" Jonathan asks.
"Voit puhua suomea?" (Can you speak Finnish?)
"Do you understand us?" Sidney uncrosses his arms.
"Teillä kahdella kääntäjä tai jotain, koska puhut siansakaa." (Do you guys have a translator or something because you are speaking gibberish.)
"Okay, nod your head if you understand me," Jonathan orders Pekka.
Pekka does nothing. "Mitä?" (What?)
"Okay, first he can't speak English and now can't understand us," Sidney points out.
"Oh lovely."
Sidney sighs. "I know. Now what?"
"Niin voitte ymmärtää minua?" (So do you understand me?)
"He's asking a question... No!" Sidney blurts out.
"Uh..."
"Nei!" Jonathan says, hoping he was saying something in Finnish.
"Kyllä vai ei?" (Yes or no?)
"Uh..."
Pekka groans. "Teolette toivoton. Jossa on Antti kun tarvitset häntä?" (You guys are hopeless. Where's Antti when you need him?)
"Wait, you said Antti, right?" Jonathan asks.
"Entä Antti?" (What about Antti?)
"You mentioned him, right?"
"Mitä?" (What?)
"Jonathan, can you call Antti through your intercom?" Sidney asks.
"That's a good idea." Jonathan unrolls his sleeve. "Oh! Where is it?"
"Where's what?"
"My intercom!"
"Wait, you lost it?!"
"Errr..." Jonathan makes a worried look. "I think so..."
"Are you looking for this?" Giroux's voice says from behind them.
They turn around and see Carey and Giroux behind them. Giroux is holding Jonathan's intercom high in the air.
"How did you--"
"We can't uh tell you! It'sh uh little shecret of oursh," Giroux says, cutting into Jonathan's sentence.
"Alright then, if you don't give Jonathan his intercom, then tell us where Jimmy's at," Sidney commands.
"Nehver--"
Evgeni comes out of nowhere in his regular size. "He at NHL HQs!"
Sidney's brown eyes widen. "Whoa, Geno, what are you doing here--"
"No talk!" Evgeni turns to Sergei, who is also in his regular size. "Сергей, взять нас с остальной частью банды!" (Sergei, take us to the rest of the gang!)
"Прямо на него!" Sergei grabs Sidney's, Jonathan's, Pekka's, and Evgeni's hands and turns them small and they fly out of the EHP HQs to New York City together. (Right on it!)
Just before they were about to leave, Jonathan grabs his intercom from Giroux.
