Barnabas  22:20
I bet you all want to know what the Evil Ant did, but first, I need to tell you about Emily End's escape.

It was Terrible Tim who helped her. He sent a signal to her and she waved her arms so that he knew what sell she was in. He climbed up the side of the jail and removed the bars in Emily End's window with tools he had. Then got out through the window, and Terrible Tim put the bars back in and put his tools away. Then, he and Emily End climbed down the building.

Emily End  23:11
I've escaped.

Barnabas  23:14
Said Emily End.

Terrible Tim  23:17
Yes you have.

Barnabas  23:20
Said Terrible Tim. When Terrible Tim put the bars in the window back in, the guard outside Emily End's cell heard, and so he opened the door and looked in. He saw an empty cell with no signs of escape. He reported it to the other guards in the prison.

Meanwhile, the Evil Ant, Codemaster Cole, Steve, and Dan kept going. Suddenly, Terrible Tim and Emily End came out of the trees. The Evil Ant and Terrible Tim talked for a little while. Then, the Evil Ant said

Evil Ant  24:18
Meet me at the Headquarters.

Codemaster Cole  24:22
We should tell Fred Fine and Police Chief Al about it.

Barnabas  24:31
Said Codemaster Cole.

Steve  24:34
Yes we should!

Barnabas  24:35
Said Steve. They reported it to the Police Officers. Half an hour later, Steve, Dan, Codemaster Cole, Caw the Crow, Great Greg, Police Chief Al, and Fred Fine went to the bad spy HQ and hid. Dangerous Dave came soon after, then Terrible Tim and Emily End, then most of the other spies. Then Evil Ant. Then, Terrible Tim and Emily End told everyone what happened and Dangerous Dave told everyone about their bank robbery that Tuesday. He said

Dangerous Dave  25:45
And our next job is Tuesday at the bank downtown.

Barnabas  25:53
And he began handing out sheets of paper in Caesar Shift Cipher that had more details about the robbery on them. Suddenly, the good spies and police officers jumped out of their hiding places and Fred and Al arrested the thieves.

Emily End  26:18
We're trapped!

Barnabas  26:21
Said Emily End. After a trial, they all went to prison for 20 years (unless they escape, of course). THE END.
