Aly, Sherry, Michael, Trace, and Jurgen, were in Sherry's room. Trace, leader of this CONSPIRACY, knew it was too dangerous to meet in her room. Once they had a plan, everyone took their post so no one would suspect anything. Michael returned to his office and phoned North.

"North here."

"North, it's Michael. Operations needs you in the White Room. A detainee needs some 'persuading' to divulge the Intel we need. Since Madeline is away, he requested you."

North smiled. It wasn't often she got to practice her interrogation techniques. And it wouldn't hurt impressing Paul a little either! "Okay, Michael. I'll be right there."

North headed down the hall to the White Room. She didn't see Operations, assuming he was with the target. She opened the door and entered. Unbeknownst to her, Aly, Sherry, Trace and Jurgen followed. As soon as he could, Michael joined them.

The door closed behind North quickly. She noticed there was no one in the room. Then the door opened and Operations entered. "Hello North. I'm sorry we called you down here for nothing. The target had a cyanide capsule and eliminated himself."

North nodded and smiled at Paul. She didn't show it, but she was truly fascinated with this man. In fact, he ranked right up there with Perry and Egran ... perhaps a little ahead of them. "No problem, sir. I wasn't doing anything that couldn't wait."

Operations nodded and pointed to the only chair in the room. "Please, have a seat. There is something I want to discuss with you." North looked at the chair, hesitated for a few moments, then sat down. As soon as she was seated, the restraints closed over her hands. Operations smiled at her and left.

North started yelling. "Hey, get me out of here. What's going on?"

Immediately, the torture twins entered and informed North she would be here for three days. She would be allowed to drink nothing but DEW. Then, as soon as they left, another door opened and the Energizer BUNNY came into the room beating his drum. He just continuously went round and round and round.

"Oh no," North exclaimed. "I can't listen to this for three days!"

A little later, Trace looked to the others. "Think she's had enough?" Sherry and Aly nodded yes and everyone agreed. "Okay."

Suddenly, the outer lights came on and North could see out the WINDOW. Operations and the twins were at the window. They reached up and pulled off their masks ... Jurgen, Aly and Sherry!! North was furious. She struggled with the restraints, to no avail. The next thing she knew, Trace came to the window holding up a pair of BOXERS ... North's favorite pair of Perry's boxers. Trace was holding scissors as if to cut them to shreds.

Sherry and Aly held up a huge sign that said, "Payback is ... fun!" The jokesters laughed as Michael, the only one truly safe from North, went in to release her.
