Elsewhere in the building, Syd's getting carted, once again, into the operating room. As Doc Avari blathers on about Syd making friends with Pruitt, Syd tries to work her magic with the paper clip and the strap around her right wrist. She unlocks it, and when a military dude goes to unlock her left wrist, Syd punches him in the face. She goes commando on the remaining military dudes and puts them all down for the count in about five seconds. Doc Avari's down too, but then a tranq gun falls to the floor and both he and Syd lunge for it. They get there at the same time and struggle with the gun, until finally Syd shoots a dart right in the doc's chest. Ouch. Nighty-night, doc.
Syd makes a break for it and races down a hall. A code red is announced. Killjoy's continuing to write her letter as a bunch of soldiers come racing past her office. She runs after them, curious as to what the kafuffle is all about. Syd makes it through a door somewhere, only to be clotheslined by one of the soldiers. She drops like three-hundred-pound Santa after too many eggnogs. She continues to fight, though, determined to get the hell outta there. Too bad she's only one little spy and there are approximately ninety soldiers on her ass. As Killjoy exits her office, she sees one soldier hit Syd in the stomach with his club. Then another slams her head into some bars. Finally, one soldier torches her with a cattle prod and Syd finally falls for good this time. They drag her off, with Killjoy starring down at the floor as if there's a clear-cut plan there outlined in sidewalk chalk and all she has to do is follow it and become a hero in everyone's eyes. Dream on, Killjoy.
After the break, we're chillin' in a van with Sloane and his laptop. Vaughn enters and takes a seat next to Spy Daddy, who's sporting a rather, erm, interesting repairman ensemble. Vaughn tells Jack that he found the box (hee!) and planted the video scrambler. Jack's supposed to activate something that Vaughn hands him, and it'll lock down the security system for as long as it takes for Jack to copy the Camp Williams blueprints. Jack informs Vaughn that Shaft's supposed to have the team hired and the equipment ready in time for the extraction tonight. Sloane just keeps on playing Tetris on his computer. Actually, he's gaining access to the trunk exchange, and the telephone company was nice enough to make everything multicolored so that the trunk exchange display looks real purdy. By hacking into the trunk exchange, Sloane has guaranteed that every incoming and outgoing call from FEMA will be routed through the Three Musketeers' number. Sloane nods at Jack. "Get ready." Jack grimaces, and some kickin' soul tunes pump up as Jack presses a button on the device Vaughn gave him. The monitors at FEMA go to snow, and Marva Whitney starts singing about what she has to do to prove her love for you. Hee. She's like a female James Brown, with all those grunts and shrieks. Perfect for a little old-school Spy Daddy action.
