"Bad luck, buster. It's not just gonna be a quick stop."

And then face-punching time

You decide that this doesn't call for a detailed plan that takes into account all possibilities; this calls for ACTION! And also a witty one-liner.

You quickly hop off the roof of the car, take a fighting stance, and prepare to throw off your one-liner.

Except that the enemy agent didn't notice you at all and just drove off and now you're standing there with your fists raised.

"What are you doing there?" someone asks. Whoops, it's the boss!

"I see you're late," he says, glancing at his watch. "Have you been spending your time shadow-boxing instead of doing your actual work?"

You quickly try to explain about the enemy agent and the pumpkin-vanishing, but the boss just sighs.

"I really don't have time for your nonsensical excuses. And this one is even worse than usual. Pumpkins vanishing? Ludicrous! If it weren't for all the paperwork involved, I'd fire you right on the spot."

Uh-oh.

"But instead, I've got an assignment for you. We just received a strange report about a cardboard car. It's a perfectly functional car, but all the parts are made of painted cardboard. It was only discovered because some idiot ran it over, now it's in the hospital because somebody thought that was a good idea. Go and investigate it, would you?"

Damn it! You don't have time to go and check out the hospital! You have to stop that enemy agent... who was headed to the hospital... which is where you were just ordered to go.

You promptly tell the boss you'll get right on the case, and run off without asking any further questions.

You are now the enemy agent. You have a medical condition which causes you to constantly thrust your pelvis back and forth; despite this, you are the top-rated agent in your organization. You have just completed a mission which will shut down your primary opposition, and must now embark on a mission to set the world on fire.

However, before that, you have to find your cat. He should be somewhere in this hospital. Where will you start looking?
