A few minutes later...

Erica looks at the vent for a few seconds as she gets off the ladder.  The four are leaning against the corner. "Yeah, I don't know."

"You don't know if you can fit?"

Erica shrugged. "Oh, I can fit. I just don't know if I want to."

"Are you claustrophobic?"

The young girl snickered " I don't have phobias."

"Okay, well, what's the problem?" Steve wondered

She points at the table.

"The problem is, I still haven't heard what's in this for Erica."

Madison thought of something fast. "Free ice cream,"

"Deal"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve slid a banana spilt across the table. Madison wondered how she didn't get a migraine from all those sweets.  Erica pushed it back "More fudge, please. Go on."

Steve sighed before getting up to put more fudge on the ice cream.Madison gave him an apologetic smile.

Robin shows her the blueprints, telling her the directions.

"You see this? This is the route you're going to take. Then we just wait till the last delivery is out tonight. Then you knock out the grate, jump down, and open the door."

"Then you find out what's in those boxes?" Erica questioned.

"Exactly."

"Mm-hmm."

"And you say this guard is armed?"

"Yes, but he won't be there." Dustin said quickly.

"And booby traps?"

Madison furrowed her eyebrows "Booby traps?"

"Lasers, spikes in the wall? You know what this half-baked plan of yours sounds like to me. Child endangerment."

Robin shook her head. "We'll be in radio contact with you the whole time..."

"Ah, ah, Ah! Child endangerment."

Madison immediately regretted her decision, she laid her head down. "Oh my God."

Dustin gets her attention by waving his hand in her face.

"Erica? Hi. Uh...We think these Russians want to harm our country. Great harm. Don't you love your country?"

Erica slurped her drink loudly. "You can't spell America without "Erica."

Madison spelled it out quietly.

"A.M.E.R.I.C. A."

Dustin thought about it as well "Oddly, that's, uh, totally true. So, don't do this for us. Do it for your country. Do it for your fellow man. Do this for America... Erica."
