Janice is heading
south in the stolen German vehicle.
Melinda "Janice are
we almost there?"
Janice "No Pappa
Smurf, er, I mean Mel we aren't."
Melinda shaking her
head, Melinda looks over at Trent "How ya doin over there? I think we're
almost to the town."
Janice swerves dodging
a giant pothole in the road and backs up the truck to get a better look
at it.
Trent "Oh I'll live,
I won't be comfortable but I'll live."
Melinda almost falls
outta her seat "My lord, what was that?"
Janice opens the
door and hops out "Looks like a shell crater."
Helena coughs
Narrator
You hear another thump. This time it comes from the roof of the truck
Melinda peaks out
from the back of the truck to see if she can see Janice. "A what?"
Janice looks up,
and draws her Gun, "Everyone stay put I'll handle this"
Melinda looks up
"What on heavens sake is goin on?"
Narrator
You see man fumbling in some fabric
Melinda gets back
into the truck
Wanda is scared and
hides in the truck
Janice trains her
gun on him <"Name, rank and serial number?"> in German. <"Hey I’m
talking to you!">
Charles scrambles
out of the parachute "What’s that you say , cant understand a word of it."
Melinda tries to
see what's goin on outside the truck.
Wanda grabs Mel’s
arm "Are you crazy, stay inside"
Trent "If you need
my help, just hollar. I won't come but at least you were kind enough to
ask me."
Melinda hears a voice
of a man but doesn't see him
Janice "Oh so your
on our side."Janice hops up on the bonnet of the truck,
Melinda "Wanda dear
I'm not crazy enough to actually go out there. I hope Janice doesn't do
anything crazy and get herself hurt."
Charles Whichever
side might that be walking towards her and falls off the truck
Wanda "me too"
Janice "And you are,
incredibly lost."
Melinda yells from
the back of the truck "Janice who is that?"
Wanda looks at Mel
"where ze hell did zat man come from?"
Melinda shrugs to
Wanda "Good question. And what was he doin on the roof of the truck?"
Janice watches the
bumbling newcomer and hops off the truck and holsters her gun, sticking
a hand out she mutters, "Great another looney"
Charles gets up off
the ground dust him self off and continues towards Janice
Janice reaches to
help him up
Melinda "Janice?"
Wanda is now not
as scared and thinks to herself "ahh fresh meat"
Janice "Its okay
Mel, its just a fly boy, he's lost his squad I think"
Charles takes her
hand and places a kiss on it "Ah so charmed to met you"
Janice sneers "You
got a name soldier?"
Melinda raises an
eyebrow "A fly boy?" and make her way out the back of the truck to them.
Charles "Charles
Igglesworth"
Wanda thinks as she
looks the man up and down "well glad he droped by"
Janice "Hey there
Chuck, I'm Janice and that's Mel, and over there is Wanda, oh and that’s
Trent, and Helena, and Steel... Where’s smithers?"
Charles does a salute
almost poking himself in the eye "So sorry to intrude like this"
Melinda "Smithers?
Not sure."
Janice helps him
gather the chute and starts piling it on Helena, "Hold that kid!"
Melinda is lookin
at the roof of the truck now "What were ya doin on top of our truck?"
Charles "May I ask
where we are?"
Helena falls backwards
"Ummph!"
Melinda hides a giggle
Steel is speechless
Melinda extends her
hand out to Charles. "Melinda Pappas, Mel for short. Nice ta meet ya."
Janice "Well Chuck,
looks like you lost your way and drifted south, the real fighting is up
north"
Wanda "Janice weren't
we in ze hurry? What about ze Germans?"
Charles takes her
hand kisses it "Charmed" thinks and looks around, "Germans? , were?"
Janice looks back
at Wanda, "I'm getting there, okay everyone IN the truck!"(touch of that
horse scream Renee does)
Charles looks off
down the road
Melinda smiles "What
a gentleman."
Janice "Germans are
everywhere we are trying to get past them, we will figure out what to do
with you later."
Wanda walks over
and around Charles and runs her hand aross his back "ze names Wanda, ze
calle me le fishy"
Melinda "Well now
we can't just leave poor old Charles here for the gemans to get a hold
of."
Janice swats Charles
behind, "Get in the truck." shoos Mel back into the truck "Everyone"
Melinda locks arms
with Charles and leads him to the back of the truck.
Wanda looks him up
and down "oh no can't have zat"
Charles jumps at
Wanda "Oh er , how nice to meet you"
Janice rolls her
eyes, "Women"
Wanda smiles and
heads back to the truck
Melinda tries to
get back into the truck without gettin her heel stuck in the bumper again.
"I heard that Janice."
Charles follows them
into the truck
Trent "So does this
mean we are gonna pick up every straggler here to Salonkia? Great, let
me change my schedule then."
Charles grins at
Trent
Melinda "Oh Trent
now stop that. We couldn't just leave Charles there now could we?"
Janice looks back
to make sure everyone is in and chuckles watching Helena wrestle with the
silk.
Charles looks up
"You should really fix those dents"
Melinda "Janice,
we're all ready to go back here."
Trent smiles at Mel
mimicking her, "Oh no of course not, leave a soldier to fight a war...
My god what was I thinking!"
Melinda to Charles
"No not really. It's not really our truck anyway." and holds back a giggle.
Janice lurches the
big German truck forward "I hope the allies don’t shoot us now."
Narrator
"They travel the bumpy road until they near the town and come to a stop
just outside the city limits. The hospital is just a block away."
Charles blinks
Melinda is ignoring
Trent
Janice stops the
truck, "Alright everyone out!"
Melinda looking over
at Charles "Janice sort of borrowed it, shall we say."
Charles "That was
quick."
Janice agrees with
Charles, "Yeah too quick."
Wanda "She drives
fast, no?"
Melinda "She drives
like that all the time. Well at least from what I've seen."
Charles "Wonder if
the chaps back in the isles are missing me."
Janice looks at the
Director, "What no tidal-waves, no volcanoes erupting, no insects? no filler
of any kind?"
Melinda grabs her
stuff and gets ready to get out of the truck
Charles "Who's she
talking to?" asking Melinda
Melinda "She does
that too. Don't ask."
Charles blinks again
Melinda tries to
get outta the truck but bumps her head on the roof of it. "Ow."
Janice "Okay... we
will take Trent to the Hospital, Then Mel you take Charles and Wanda on
to the Hotel. I have to meet someone."
Melinda "Ok Janice
I'll get the them all settled into the hotel."
Charles "Well I say"
Melinda "Ok Janice
I'll get the them all settled into the hotel."
Janice turns away
from the camera and tries not to giggle, "Come on Trent"
Wanda "oooo la la
a hotel."
Melinda looking at
everyone "Shall we?" and turns to head to the hotel.
Charles just grins
Melinda turns around
to make sure everyone is following her into the hotel.
Narrator
"Janice leads the poor Trent towards the hospital."
Charles follows Melinda
Melinda walks up
the desk clerk.
Wanda follows Mel
Janice leads Helena,
Steel and Trent
Melinda "Wanda you
can stay in my suit if ya'd like. Smithers and Charles, who two wouldn't
mind sharin a room would ya?"
Narrator
"Janice drops Trent off and continues heading to meet this someone. Janice
split off with all the characters that aren’t playing to night to get rid
of them - plot expedition, it has to go somewhere. Leaves a note on a door
in a average part of town near the market."
Wanda just looks
at the new guy and smiles
Melinda is waiting
for the clerk
Charles smiles back
at Wanda, a bit nervously
Clerk comes out but
doesn’t look up "what do you need?"
Melinda "I have my
hotel key already." Melinda to the hotel clerk "Could we get a room here
for Mr...."turning around to look at Charles, "Sorry was your last name
again?"
Charles "Igglesworth."
Melinda smiles and
turns back to the clerk "Mr. Igglesworth."
Clerk "let me see
if, ah yes, we have one left."
Charles grins at
the Clerk
Melinda "Thank ya
kindly."
Clerk "You got money?"
Melinda to the clerk
"Oh Big Rod has checked outta the hotel also."
Clerk "We have only
the one cuz that Big Rod guy checked out, he left food everywhere. What
a slob."
Melinda to Charles
"She needs ya to pay for the room. Hope ya got some money on you."
Charles "Oh?"
Melinda is starting
to wonder where Janice went off to.
Charles checks his
wallet "You take pounds?"
Clerk "I can put
it on their account" and hands Charles a key and she gives him a toothless
smile "You got plans for the night?"
Charles "Um , ur
well , um " stutters
Clerk smiles and
bats her one good eye
Melinda "So Charles.
What are ya gonna do?"
Charles "Well , I'll
just take the room .... just the room"
Janice is walking
down the street back to the hotel, the person she wanted to meet wasn’t
there.
Clerk "fine what
ever" and storms into the back office
Melinda "Ok then
that sounds fine."
Narrator
"Janice see someone familiar"
Charles "I think
I upset the poor las"
Melinda looks at
the clerk storming off.
Wanda "do you really
care about ze girl?"
Melinda shrugs
Janice walks over
to a guy in the market selling food "So they let you out of jail? Poisoning
the Ambassador I thought was punishable by death. Janice waves to the person
she knows and turns around smacking right into Smithers.
Smithers falls into
the market stall with Janice
Janice lands hard
on the ground and pulls out her gun ignoring her hat rolling off. "Oh Its
you again. I should have known." Janice attempts to get up and falls back
into the merchandise
Smithers stands up
and dust himself off "Isn't that a bit extreme for you average pick pocket
mamdam."
Janice giggles through
a sneer, "Oh a wise guy?" Janice looks around noticing no one paid attention
to that comment and holsters her gun. "So how'd you get back to town?"
Smithers smiles and
doffs his bowler "Excuse my tardiness but I had trouble parking the car
where the locals would not try and steel it"
Janice fumbles getting
up and retrieves her hat. "So it's in Istanbual now?" jokes "Well you are
here now, come on everyone is waiting."
Smithers "Actually
madam I found somewhere nearer the hotel"
Janice heads towards
the hotel again, "This is gonna be one long hot bastard of a day." she
mumbles
Smithers looks Janice
up and down "And here was me thinking you had come out to actually buy
a skirt."
Wanda begins to wonder
what happened to Janice
Melinda watches the
clerk disappear behind through the door
Smithers follows
Janice looking only slightly embarrassed
Melinda "Well now
shall we all head to our rooms? I'm gettin tired and need to change outta
this suit." Melinda is still standin in front of the hotel desk "I need
to make sure my hand is ok also. Now where is Janice?"
Wanda "I’m getting
hungry"
Janice walks along
with Smithers following thinking, "Slugger" and giggles to herself
seeing the hotel only a few yards away now
Wanda looks at the
other two "You want ze food while we wait?"
Melinda "Ya wanna
get somethin to eat first Wanda?" Melinda giggles
Wanda "Just what
I was thinkin."
Trent looks at the
nurse, "Well heeeeeellllllo there. I think I’m gonna like being laid up."
Charles "All right
then"
Narrator
"The three go to the hotel restaurant."
Janice turns back
to see if Smithers is still following, "You can walk with me I don't bite
that hard."
Narrator
"They sit down and wait for a waiter, who is no where to be found."
Smithers "It is a
gentleman’s place to follow the master."
Melinda takes her
napkin and places it on her lap.
Janice rolls her
eyes, "Smithers, what’s gotten into you today? You don't work for that
goon anymore you don't have to act like this."
Wanda sits down next
to Mel
Charles sits across
and grins at the two
Wanda "where ze heck
has Janice gotten to?"
Melinda looks at
Charles "So Charles tell me about yourself. What were ya doin before ya
landed on our roof?"
Wanda winks at Charles
Smithers looks at
Janice sternly "Madam, it is my place to serve, After all, I'm just the
Driver."
Melinda "Not sure
Wanda, but I hope she's not gettin herself in trouble."
Janice walks into
the hotel, worse for wear and needing a shower and a rest, until her stomach
growls. Janice walks up to the clerks and rings the bell, <"Are there
any messages for Covington?"> in Greek.
Charles "Ah there’s
a story, it was a dog fight, I had em in my sights, then ......."
Smithers politely
waits
Melinda giggles "Then
ya ended up landin on our roof."
Clerk <"yeah some
busty number left one for you.">
Charles "Right after
spilling my tea on the controls."
Janice giggles <"May
I have it?">
Clerk <"she and
her little friends will meet you in there"> She points to the restaurant
Charles "Talking
of tea, where’s that waiter"
Janice nods Smithers
on, "Lets get some grub"
Melinda looks around
"That's a good question."
Smithers eyes the
hotel and contemplates doing better "Whatever you say sir"
Janice stops, "I'm
not sir, you got that? I’m a Doctor." Shakes her head, "Huge difference"
and walks into the restaurant.
Wanda is still looking
around for the waiter and spots Janice
Melinda nonchalantly
adjusts the money that is still down her bra.
Wanda stands up and
waves her over
Smithers inclines
his head "Please excuse my faux pas, DOCtor"
Wanda sees that out
of the corner of her eye and grins
Janice "I can see
those two from here, follow me Smith."
Wanda sees them coming
and sits back down
Janice wasn't talking
about the girls either
Melinda spots Janice
Smithers follows
and pulls the Doctors chair out for her
Wanda "ah there she
is. but who is that with her?"
Janice grabs another
chair and spins it next to Mel and Charles, putting a wedge between them
Melinda to Smithers
"My what a gentleman."
Wanda smiles at the
stranger "hello."
Janice "Sorry Smith
thought that was yours"
Melinda "So where
have ya been? And how's Trent doin?"
Charles "Hello ,
hello."
Smithers inclines
his head at Mel, "Ms Pappas, your radiance is a pleasure as always."
Melinda blushes,
muttering to herself "Oh my."
Janice "Hey all,
Trent’s fine. Look who I bumped into here."
Smithers finds some
dust on himself to brush off
Melinda smiling "Yes
Smithers."
Janice nudges Melinda,
"There
she goes again, gonna give him a complex I tell you." Says to herself.
Melinda whispers
"Janice stop it."
Janice "So what have
you ordered?"
Charles looks around
for the waiter
Melinda "Smithers,
won't ya have a seat with us?"
Wanda looks at Smithers
and says "I don't believe we have met, no?"
Melinda "Well the
waiter hasn't shown up yet, unfortunately."
Smithers "It would
be more fitting Madam, If ate with the rest of the servents later." waits
to be introduced
Janice shakes her
head, "Smithers cut the horse hockey, and sit down with us. I know about
you Smithy."
Melinda "Smithers
now you stop that and sit down here with us. We won't have any of that."
waits for Smithers to join them
Wanda lifts an eyebrow
and wonders "I wonder just what she knows about him."
Smithers reluctantly
pulls up a chair, sitting bolt upright "Mam, Sir, I am Mr. Smithers, this
lady and the Doctor’s driver."
Melinda holds her
hand up to her bosoms. "Oh now, where are my manners. Smithers this is
Mr. Charles Igglesworth."
Wanda "ze pleasure."
Charles "Nice to
meet you old chap"
Janice spots a waiter
way off in the distance and stands up shouting in Greek, <"Hey Sparky
we need some menu's over here, pronto!">
Smithers takes Wanda’s
hand and kisses it lightly
Narrator
"The waiter hears Janice and hurries off to get the menus"
Smithers extends
a hand to Charles "You look to be a fellow Englishman from your garb."
Charles shakes Smithers
hand "Indeed I am old boy, nice to finally meet some one from the isles
out here."
Waiter comes over
carrying menus and a pitcher of water
Smithers removes
his bowler
Waiter begins hands
the people their menus, Janice takes the menu handed to her and glances
it over, rattling off a quick meal for herself. "Mel what would you like?"
Melinda takes a menu
and starts to look it over "Now Janice I don't know. Any suggestions? What
do they have here ta eat? I'm starvin."
Smithers continues
talking to Charles "From your garb I would say that you are part of the
Air Arm?"
Waiter begins to
fill glasses with water
Smithers catches
the waiters attention "Could I have some Tea?"
Melinda looks up
"Yes tea sounds good for me also please."
Charles "Why yes."
Waiter "Sure. What
do the rest of you want to drink?"
Charles "yes make
that three tea's"
Janice "Why yes Mel
why don’t you have what you had the other day, or even that morning. Or
better yet what about that dish you had from here ordered to the room?"
Wanda "Same."
Janice "Scotch, on
the rocks" being a smart-ass again
Melinda "Janice I
can't remember what I had."
Waiter writes the
order down "I will be back with the drinks"
Janice shakes her
head at Mel, "You sure you are gonna be okay for this line of work?"
Waiter walks over
and whispers to Wanda "I will have the money I owe you for the other night
later. You were great by the way. I just now am able to walk straight."
Smithers reaches
into his pocket and removes a silver cigarette case which he offers to
all around the table, not actually taking one himself
Wanda "Don’t forget
ze tip."
Smithers blushes
Janice is contemplating
dumping Wanda, she's bad for the reputation of the crew.
Melinda heard that
but is not gonna ask what Wanda was talking about.
Janice takes one
of the cigarettes "Ah civilization."
Smithers makes a
mental note to ask Wanda about that later!
Charles refuses the
cigarette
Wanda shakes her
head no
Janice is trying
to forget that Wanda
Melinda looks over
at Smithers "Oh lordy another smoker."
Wanda looks around
the table
Smithers does not
have a cigarette
Waiter brings the
drinks back "You ready or what?"
Janice lights the
cigarette and leans back happy to be alive
Melinda sniffs the
air and looks up at Janice
Smithers waits for
the ladies and the Doctor to order
Janice ordered
Narrator
"It is the end of the day..."
Melinda doesn't know
what to order "Ya might just have to come back to me later."
Janice orders for
Mel, "You had that last time and liked it."
Charles looks at
the menu
Waiter begins to
write down orders
Melinda sighs "Fine
Janice." looks around at everyone at the table.
Charles points to
some thing on the menu and shows the Waiter
Smithers looks at
the waiter "Do you have anything without shell fish or olives in it?"
Wanda smiles at Charles
Melinda "So Smithers
where have ya been?"
Charles smiles back
nervously at Wanda
Smithers "I had to
secure our vehicle from the natives madam"
Melinda takes the
glass of water sitting in front of her and sips it, giggles "Why? Where
they tryin ta steal it?"
Charles sips his
tea
Melinda to Smithers
"And please call me Mel. Ya don't have to be so formal."
Smithers "Well you
know what these Deigos are like madam, if its not nailed down they will
have it right away, ask the Doctor."
Wanda looks at Smithers
"but you can call me what ever you want"
Janice chuckles
Melinda seems taken
aback "Really?"
Janice "Mel did you
forget the tablet?"
Smithers "If it makes
you happy Madem er, Mel."
Wanda smiles
Smithers "Oh Yes,
its to do with their diet you see, they are practically savages"
Janice finishes her
Cigarette drinks her scotch "hhhhaaarrrr" and coughs, "That’s good stuff"
completely horse.
Melinda reaches under
the table and seems to be looking for something.
Janice jumps back,
"Mel?
Melinda is still
looking for something
Janice eyes are wide,
"What are you doing?" whispering to her
Smithers puts one
lump of sugar in his tea, sips it, grimaces and then adds another two lumps
Janice glances down
to make sure that wasn't Mel’s foot.
Melinda "Lookin for
that bag."
Janice pulls up her
bag, "This one?"
Melinda looks embrassed.
"Yeah that one."
Narrator
"The group finishes their meal after they FINALLY get it and head to their
rooms to retire for the evening."
Smithers kisses all
the ladies goodnight on there hands, except for the Doctor.
Melinda "Nite Smithers."
Janice unlocks the
door and slings everything on the desk and collapses on the bed face first,
"Shower can wait" and falls asleep fully clothed boots and all.
Melinda looks at
Janice "Well now she's taken up the whole bed."
Wanda winks good
night to Smithers and heads into the room for some sleep.
Charles bows
Melinda pokes her
head out the door looking to say goodnite to Charles
Smithers watches
Wanda walk off
Melinda "Nite Charles."
Melinda goes back into the room
Charles goes and
unlocks the door
Wanda falls asleep
happy
Charles "Good night
Ladies"
Melinda nudges Janice’s
leg "Janice?"
Wanda mumbles "goodnight"
to everyone
Melinda nudges her
again "Janice."
Melinda sighs
Janice "Zzzzzzzz"
Charles falls asleep
and all
Smithers goes to
bed and has nightmares about being upstaged by an over muscled man that
is named Lemon Sorbet.
Charles snores loudly
Melinda looks down
at Janice trying to figure out how to move her over a bit.
Janice looks up groggly,
"What’s that noise?"
Narrator
"There is some banging that continues to come from next door. Wanda is
sound asleep, passed out on the couch where she sat. Wanda is sound asleep
Janice sits up and
nearly knocks Mel of the bed by accident.
Narrator "There
is a loud crash."
Janice jumps off
the bed and runs to the door, swinging it open and heading to that hall.
Melinda wakes up
"What's goin on?" looks very confused
Narrator
"Wanda rolls over still asleep."
Janice runs into
the hall
Narrator
"There is another bang."
Melinda looks over
to sleep the door is wide open and Janice is missin again. Melinda jumps
outta the bed and heads to the door "What on earth was that?!?"
Narrator
"Charles hears some of the noise and begins to wake up. Janice sees the
door has been broken into."
Charles snorts and
rubs his eyes as he wakes up, yawns "What’s all the noise?"
Janice looks in
Charles goes out
into the hall
Narrator
"Janice sees a figure near the window."
Melinda pokes her
head out the door to see what's going on.
Janice looks at the
figure
Narrator
"Wanda is still sleeping like a baby. Smithers begins to wake up hearing
the sounds."
Charles looks over
at Janice
Narrator
"The Figure pulls a gun out."
Janice ducks into
the hallway, tackling Mel into the room
Smithers murmurs
"But I wanna have cool armbands too."
Melinda wonders what
Janice is doing in Charles room.
Janice is a god today
Melinda "What the..."
Janice "Oomph."
Charles went into
the hall Mel
Narrator
"A bang is heard by everyone. And then some shattering glass. Wanda...believe
it or not is STILL sleeping."
Smithers rolls out
of bed and goes for his .45
Melinda "Hmmm Janice...
You can get off of me now, I think."
Janice "Stay here
and call downstairs tell them there is a burglar in Helena’s room."
Melinda "A what?"
Janice "Just do it."
she whispers and grabs her whip that’s handy creeping to the door and peeks
out
Melinda "Are ya sure
it's just not Helena and that Steel gent."
Janice looks at Mel
and does the shush sign.
Smithers heads down
to the noise
Narrator
"The figure runs out the door running into Charles and knocking him over"
Melinda gets on all
fours and crawls to the door behind Janice
Charles gets knocked
over and blinks
Janice snaps her
whip back and tries to snatch the burglars legs
Narrator
"He runs into Smithers and just gets outta his grasp."
Melinda tries to
see what's goin on outside the door but doesn't want to get too close to
it
Narrator
"Janices whip hits the man but does not take him down as he keeps running"
Smithers legs it
after the mysterious man
Janice "Damnit!"
Janice runs after him and hurls her body at him
Charles gets up "That
was abit off ."
Melinda gets up off
the floor and peaks out of the door into the hallway to see what's goin
on.
Narrator
"The figure is bleeding from his leg from the whip."
Charles forgot to
say "Well I say"
Smithers gives chase
Narrator
Janice tackles the figure and tumbles to the ground on top of him
Janice scrambles
to get a hold of the guy and hold him down.
Narrator
The guy attempts to kick her
Melinda decides now
is a good time to go see what in blazes is goin on, heads out the door
Janice thinks, "A
net would be good right about now, maybe I will go buy one from Rod tomorrow"
Narrator
His leg wound makes the kick to light to be felt by Janice
Smithers waits for
an opening
Janice Winces, had
to be that bad knee didn't it
Narrator
The man spits on Janice and sees Smithers coming towards him
Janice "Charming"
She slugs him "AHAH!"
Charles goes over
to Melinda "What on earth is happening?"
Narrator
Janice's punch finds his nose and it begins to bleed
Janice tries to tie
the guy up with her whip wondering where the hell the hotel staff is
Narrator
He isn't putting up much of a fight now
Janice notes the
guy is a pushover
Smithers looks down
"Are you Ok Doctor, or would you like some assistance?"
Janice "Grab his
feet and tie it up, Mel call downstairs!"
Melinda to Charles
"Well I'm not quite sure myself. Somethin about someone being in Helena's
a room and now Janice an Smithers have him cornered."
Narrator
Wanda FINALLY begins to stir
Melinda turns around
and heads back to her room to call downstairs.
Smithers looks for
something to tie the mans feet
Janice socks the
guy again for good measure to knock him out
Bell Boy comes running
out of the elevator <"What the....">
Melinda makes the
call then heads back to the others.
Janice's punch lands
square on his jaw and he is on the verge of passing out Janice hits him
again, and another time for the hell of it
Narrator
The man is a bloody mess now
Janice is pummeling
this guys face in
Melinda "Janice I
think that's good enough. You can stop hittin him now."
Narrator
And has passed out
Janice "One more
Mel, the bastard kicked me in the knee"
Melinda sighs and
knows Janice is going to do it anyway.
Janice stands up
and kicks him with her good leg
Narrator
Janice broke his leg and a rib. He is in bad shape
Smithers winces for
the poor unfortunate stuntman
Charles heads over
to Janice "Well I say"
Wanda comes out into
the hall
Narrator
Janice sees Smithers tuck the gun away into his jacket
Bell Boy <"what
the hell is going on?">, "What have you done to this man?" (broken english)
Melinda "Good question."
Janice "This burglar
broke into that room there and tore it up"
Smithers wanders
off to check the room
Janice is thankful
that she fell asleep with steel toed boots on
Smithers looks at
himself in the hall mirror and checks to make sure that he doesn’t have
anything stuck in his teeth "God I look good!"
Smithers was about
to look in the burgled room.
Charles was standing
in the corridor
Wanda was just getting
out of bed
Melinda coughs
Bell Boy comes back
with the police and show them the body.
Melinda "Shouldn't
we go to see what he took from Helena's room, if anythin?"
Janice follows Smithers
to the room
Melinda follows along
after Janice
Charles follows to
Janice peeks in the
door
Melinda holds her
head "I feel a headache comin on."
Narrator
The room is dark
Melinda looks for
a light switch.
Janice brushes Mel’s
hand Melinda smiles at Janice "Thank you."
Smithers gropes for
the light switch and finds Mel’s left Boob
Janice flips on the
lights
Janice shaking head
"the last one that did that"
Melinda turns around
and smacks Smithers in the face
Janice "Ouch that
gotta hurt"
Melinda is turnin
red in the face every second.
Smithers falls to
the floor with a thump
Jack Kleinman
in the jungle somewhere, "Guys? Guys?!!!! Come on this isn’t funny anymore!
GUUUUUUUYSS!"

a word of what Smithers just said to her

and looks for clues
Steel "The one that

Janice "Gave what?

Steel "I... He was
gonna help us get out of the...of Greece... I told him."
Janice "who Steel

Charles "Scrolls?"
Janice drops Steel
with a thud, "My scrolls?"
Steel "Oomph."
Charles is rather
confused
Melinda "You told
him about the scrolls?!? Why would ya do a thing like that?"
Charles looks at
Melinda "Scrolls?"
Steel "I didn't know"
Janice looks down,
"Steel what’s his name I need a name?"
Smithers murmurs
"Probably because he just cut your friend tongue out!"
Melinda looks over
at Charles "Yes scrolls that me and Janice found."
Janice thinks to
herself "Helena was never my friend"
Steel "I thought
he was going to help us Mel"
Janice looks at Steel,
"How could he help us if we didn’t want to leave?"
Steel "we ha...we
have to get them out somehow" coughs
Janice "Them? Them
what Steel?
Melinda "Well after
Janice beat the tar outta him I don't think he'll be helpin anyone with
anythin for a while."

Melinda wonders if
the police took that man to jail yet, clears her throat "Well I think I'm
just gonna head back to my room now. Too much excitement for one day."
Janice shakes her
head at Melinda
Melinda turns to
leave and gives Smithers a look before she leaves.
Janice looks at the
Bell boy "Get this man to a hospital. You’re gonna be okay Steel, Hang
in there."
Charles "I say ,
she seems a bit peeved Smithy ,old chap"
Melinda heads out
the door towards her room.
Smithers mummers
to Chaz "So would you be old chap if someone had used your mammary for
a light switch"
Charles "Well, I

Steel wheezes and
dies
Janice looks sad,
"I’m sorry Steel."

Melinda "Sorry, scrolls?
What about them?"
Janice pulls out
the bag and dumps it on the desk
Charles wonders if
any one else is in the hall
Janice "Mel there
is something in here the Germans want, and I need you to find out what
that is"
Melinda get up to
see what Janice is looking for "There should be there."

out into the hall and notices that Charles just disappeared in a puff of
smoke

after being woken up like that
Smithers will walk
her back to her room and tuck her in
Janice looks for
Charles in the rooms.
Wanda yawns and looks
at Mel "Zis we cannot take care of tonight"
Janice turns to Smithers,
"I think we should take shifts and keep an eye out, I have a feeling whoever
did this will be back."

and enters the room

standing at the table wondering what in the world is going on
Police officer Walks
up to Janice and speaks in Greek <"We aren't going to get anything out
of him now" pointing to the burglar "I will be in touch, the ambulance
should be here soon">
Janice glances at
Mel, "Actually Mel will be I want her to do some skimming for me."
Melinda raises an
eyebrow as she watches Smithers "I swear that man just can't keep his hands
to himself."
Janice turns to Charles
"We should take shifts, Mel will be first, you second and I will take the
last one I am worried whoever did this will return"
Charles nods
Narrator
They all begin to head to their rooms, not with out thinking about what
just happened.
Melinda "Janice,

to the boys, and closes their door, "Mel I just want you to read through
some of these and see if there is any reason why the Germans want them
Charles goes back
to his room

The whole group
Melinda looks at
the scrolls "I can do. But what exactly am I lookin for?"

Charles goes back
to sleep
Janice looks a bit
pale

to Janice "Janice? Are you ok?" Melinda looks down at her

and lays back, "I think I just need to rest Mel. Its been a hellava day"

havin a confused look on her face. "Motorcycle noises?"
Wanda mumbles in
her sleep something about Melinda biting
Janice is sound asleep
again
Melinda looks back
down at the note. "What's this?" Melinda gets up for her seat, with the
note in hand and walks over to Janice. Melinda wonders if she should wake
up Janice "Won't want her puttin me in the shower or anythin." Melinda
whispers "Janice?"
Janice stirs and
smiles
Melinda "Janice,
I think I found somethin."
Janice snuggles the
pillow, "hummmm"

on the shoulder. "Janice wake up."

and looks around "Mel?"
Melinda "Janice.

Melinda "Janice I

the bed.
Janice sits up and
rubs eyes, "what note?"
Melinda hands her
the note "This note you gave me before ya went to sleep."
Wanda stirs a bit
and smiles
Charles still snores
Janice looks at note,
"what did you find?"
Wanda begins to wake
up hearing the voices
Melinda points that
the address "Look here. It's some sorta address and," points down "a some

Wanda thinks to herself
"I hate when you are having a great dream and then you wake up"
Janice nods, "And

Melinda "I don't
know what it is."
Janice collapses
back to the bed and tries to get comfortable

somethin. Well... I think this is a somethin."
Wanda "what are you

Janice "good then

Melinda looks at
Wanda "Yes it's late." Melinda sighs and gets up from the bed.
Janice stretches
out
Wanda grins and thinks
about her group "well as long as I'm up can I go wake up Charles"
Melinda looks back
at the two sleepin comfy. "Well..." and reaches over for a pillow "I'll
be takin one of those." Melinda tries to pull one of the pillows from under
Janice's and Wanda's head.
Melinda there are
many pillows on the bed... work with me here! :p

to give Mel enough room to lay down

of toast and begins to wipe the crumbs off his shirt, Sal then chugs a
large glass of fresh orange juice.
Charles sniffs and
wriggles his moustache
Janice points at
the spectacle in the five star hotel and looks up at Mel "Told you he knew
Rod."
Melinda is waiting
for Janice cause she doesn't know what Sal looks like.
Sal shovels three
bites of eggs into his mouth
Wanda follows
Melinda "Well yes

Charles follows to
Janice "Actually
I think they are" Janice walks to Sal, extending hand.. "SAL!"
Wanda mumbles "Great."

spitting egg bits "Janice?"

that will fit the large group"

belch
Melinda pulls out
a chair for herself to sit in

Melinda looks a bit
disgusted

Janice looks for
the egg from the mysterious source, Sal's pockets!

for a waiter
Janice looks around

Melinda "Well it

look into it."
Sal "just give me

Janice rattles off
orders for chuck and Mel and herself, letting Sal the Greek order himself
Waiter makes a note
and leaves the group
Janice pulls out
her journal and writes a few things down and rips off the paper handing
it to Sal
Wanda "So Sal have

Janice "Oh drat Wanda

to Wanda
Melinda shows Sal
the note
Janice looks at Mel
and shrugs
Sal "Hmmm I might

Wanda grins "Zhey

Mel and at Wanda , then back at that clock
Waiter <"guess

Janice looks back
at the waiter and shakes her head no
Melinda "I don't

Janice looks at Charles
"You okay there pal?"
Charles "What what?"
Janice Hands Chuck

Melinda "Why is that?"
Janice looks at Sal,
"We have been worse places"
Charles "No thank

Janice shrugs "thought

Sal "no one has ever

Janice thinks about
the basement at faces a certain bar she knows from what Sal said then shakes
herself from it
Charles "Were did

Wanda "what do you
mean 'out of there'? zis doesn’t sound good"
Janice "oh I spent

Sal "It's look trust

Melinda "Sal if ya

Sal "But if you want
me to show you where it is but I want some money up front"
Wanda "Can you show

Janice puts the cigar
in her mouth knowing Mel will probably say something
Waiter comes back
with the food and a smile
Melinda "Money isn't
the problem. How much do ya need?"
Janice looks at Melinda's
bosom, "give him a taste of what we got"
Sal "500."
Melinda covers her
bosom with her hand "Janice stop it."
Charles sips some
tea
Janice "500 dinars?

Janice looks at Mel,
"Give it to him."

thumb and counts out 500 dinars
Sal 's eyes get wider
Melinda "There ya

Wanda grins
Sal puts the money
in his pocket
Melinda rolls up

and smiles
Charles begins to
eat his breakfast , in a much cleaner manner then Sal earlier displaced
Melinda "Now, when

Sal "now about the

Wanda sees a yellow
flower on the table and puts it in Mel’s hair "zhere zat is nice no?"
Janice "Sal its a

Melinda sighs to
herself thinkin "Why didn't he tell me that before I put the money back?"
Janice "Whats a few

Sal "some of it is

Melinda smiles "Thank

Wanda giggles "I’m

Janice "We just like

Charles "Dig?"
Melinda ignores all
the comments as she counts out more money "Anythin else before I put it
away again?"
Wanda smiles
Janice looks at Sal,
"Okay here’s the deal, you come to the meeting place with us and I will
pay you after it"
Wanda bites her tongue
Janice "No Mel put

Sal "ok I get your
stuff and meet you in the lobby of this hotel"
Charles blinks and
sips his tea
Janice looks at chuck
and winks, "Oh yeah Mel can dig in a bra better than anyone else I know"
Melinda mumbles to
herself, looking annoyed and shoves the money back to down the front of
her shirt.
Wanda "do you have

Charles looks at
Melinda and blushes a bit

Melinda goes about
eating her food again
Janice "reminds me

Sal "I can find out

Wanda "Its not on
