Perry the panda's voice echoed through the vast and almost empty halls of the headquarters. "Terrence Cornelius Ichabod Turtle. You get your sorry butt here right now!" Perry yelled. Saying that Perry was mad was an understatement, the panda was more fuming and steaming at the moment. "What exactly do you want to tell me about this?"Perry asked, the moment Terry came, and then pointed at the screen in front of him. It was a security camera tape of the night before, somebody had just stolen the T & P'S Society motivator (a strange device that motivated the whole society to keep on working), and that someone had a strange resemblance to Terry Turtle. In fact, it was Terry on the screen, but the turtle had been nowhere near the headquarters at that time. "Well Terry? Are you going to hand over the motivator now?" Perry asked very impatiently.
"No. Because I never took it in the first place."
"Whaddya mean 'No'? I'm pretty sure that is you on the security tape."
"How could that have been me? First things first, I don't wear balaclava masks, they give me pimples."
"That's besides the point! Why on Earth would you sneak in and steal the motivator. You of all people should know that is what our whole company depends on."
"I'm telling you, I did not steal the motivator!"
"Prove it then."
"We live in the same apartment."
"So, you could have came back after me."
"You drove me back."
"How do I know that was you. How do I know that wasn't some robot or stuffed toy?"
"We talked the whole way there about company secrets and friendship goals."
"Uhhh, you could have programmed the robot."
"It wasn't me you dumbo! Don't you realize? This is her distraction."
"Who's distraction?"
"Detective Hassen-Lochen's, she's trying to separate us and then steal the whole company. She's in cahoots with Professor R!"
"I don't get it."
"Uuuuuuu!"
Perry did actually understand, but he was just in shock of how logical and smart Terry sounded. Usually Perry was constantly proving Terry wrong.

Terry sulked to his office as his mind mulled over the fact that in the security tape, there really was a turtle that looked exactly like him. He got to his office, but there was a crisp white envelope sitting on his desk. Terry carefully opened the envelope and read the note. His eyes widened while reading and rushed out of his office on this Segway. In all the hurry, Terry had forgotten to lock his office and a small figure slunk into the room without anyone noticing them.
