The Portal sat back in his throne. "Feels good to be back. After a whole week of being at Padilla's was just horrible!"

"Sir, speaking of Padilla, someone just told me they saw him call someone! He already knows!"

"Padilla? He's not a huge threat. He gave that platypus the gun back. And if he called the police, they don't even know where my lair is. Only that Hecox knows…"

There was a slight pause. "HECOX! He's a bigger threat; we have to take him as prisoner."

"Yes sir!"

"Oh, by the way, do you still have that cloning device I wanted to use?"

"Yes, yes we do."

"Get it fired up. When we capture Hecox and Padilla tries to protect him, he won't see them coming."
