The Nurses had finally gotten Kyle to turn loose of the piping on the ceiling for the fourth time this morning, and Cali noticed that there was a third rip in Kyle's new jeans. Apparently the de-glittering process plus chocolate had reacted in Kyle to produce both incredible energy and the incredible desire to climb. Cali checked that Kevin was holding Caster, the winged mad scientist in the form of a kitten, and Hannah was holding, the baby, Helen. He took Kyle's hand and opened the door of Medical.

Swoosh!

Cali stood, spluttering, as water poured off him. Whomever had rigged the giant bucket of water over the door of Medical had apparently been monitoring their trap, because mad cackles of laughter drifted down the hall to his left.

At the sound of pounding feet and splashes of water coming closer from the opposite direction, Cali stepped back into Medical and pulled the door mostly closed. One Agent ran past him carrying a large water gun, which he was firing back over his shoulder at another Agent who seemed to have a bag of infinite water balloons.

He smiled when the cackling of the booby trapper changed to squawks of protest amid the sounds of water balloon splashes. The Agent with the water gun came stalking back around by Cali.

Cali risked another soaking to poke his head out the door, and ask, "What is going on here?"

"All HQ water gun fight," the Agent said just before he squirted Cali in the face and continued his stalk down the hall.

Cali turned to tell the Nurses what was going on, but found that they had been listening the whole time. Fortunately they had caught Kyle when Cali had let him go.

"Maybe we should wa-" Cali began.

The Nurse holding Kyle by the collar, interrupted him, "You are taking these children to the Nursery, and you will do it now.
