The team stood before the heavy, reinforced door. Honey Lemon pulled at the door handle, but it didn't falter. "It should be open," she muttered in frustration. "Josie disabled the security."

Panic began to creep in as they realized time was running out. "There must be another layer of security we're missing," GoGo said, her voice tense.

Fred, glancing at the sophisticated technology surrounding the door, noticed something the others didn't. He returned the unconscious guard and began searching the pockets. "Come on, show Freddy the money..."

"Fred, focus!" GoGo snapped, her impatience growing, "We don't have time for pickpocketing!"

"Hold on," Fred said, triumphantly pulling out a keyring. "Found it! Let's see if these old-fashioned keys still work."

With a mix of hope and skepticism, Fred inserted one of the keys into the lock. He turned it, and the heavy door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit room resembling a prison cell.

Inside, Tadashi lay on a cot, his body shockingly thin and his skin pale. The noise from the door startled him awake, and he panicked, scrambling to the far corner of the bed.

"Tadashi, it's us!" GoGo said, stepping into the room with her hands raised. "We're here to rescue you."

Tadashi's eyes darted around the room, wild with fear. Honey Lemon approached him slowly, her voice soft and soothing. "Tadashi, it's okay. We're your friends. You're safe now."

As her words sank in, Tadashi visibly relaxed but then tensed again. His eyes locked on Honey Lemon's arm, where the green liquid still oozed from her wound. "No," he whispered, his voice shaking. "No, you're infected."

The team exchanged worried glances, realizing the gravity of Tadashi's warning. Honey Lemon tried to stay calm, despite the fear gnawing at her. "We'll deal with that, Tadashi. Right now, we need to get you out of here."

Tadashi's gaze softened, but the fear didn't leave his eyes. "You don't understand... It's not just a cut. It's—"

"We'll figure it out," GoGo interrupted gently but firmly. "We need to get out of this place first. Can you walk?"

Tadashi nodded weakly, and with Wasabi's help, he got to his feet. The team moved quickly, supporting Tadashi as they made their way back through the horrors of the basement level.

Tadashi, his voice urgent, said, "We need to get the files from Room B527. It contains everything you need."

GoGo quickly scanned the room numbers visible on the corridor walls. "We'll pass Room B527 on the way out."

Tadashi nodded, desperation in his voice. "Honey's life depends on it."
