19 Incarcerated

19 Incarcerated "Peanut, are you absolutely sure that Milton and this Mr White are one and the same?" asked Mum, still looking bewildered as they followed the group marching Mr Stone towards the prison cells. And that he is responsible for capturing your dad?" "Yes, Mum," said Peanut. "We're sure. When Dad was working for the Resistance, he'd managed to find out that White worked in your building. Plus, Stone looks exactly like White! And look at the hat!" Nerys had returned the white fedora by this point, and it was carelessly perched on Stone's head at a slightly inelegant angle. Also, he KIDNAPPED you, remember!? In Milan?" "Firstly," replied Mum, "I'm not a kid, so how could Milton

19 入狱 “小花生，你百分百确定米尔顿和这位怀特先生是同一个人吗？” 跟着队伍押着斯通先生前往牢房的路上，妈妈依旧满脸困惑地问道。 而且抓你爸爸的就是他？" "没错，妈妈，" 小花生说。 "我们都确定。 爸爸之前在抵抗组织工作的时候，就查到怀特在你大楼里工作。 再说了，斯通长得和怀特一模一样！ 你看这顶帽子！" 这会儿内里斯已经把白色软呢帽还回来了，帽子随意歪歪扭扭地架在斯通头上，样子有点滑稽。 还有哦，他绑架了我呀，你忘了吗！ 就是在米兰那次！" "首先呀，" 妈妈回答道，"我又不是小孩，米尔顿怎么会

kidnap me? And, secondly, if he did kidnap me, I had no idea that I had been kidnapped. Do kidnappers usually take people to the ballet after a fancy dinner at Trattoria Madonnina? I mean, we had the tasting menu and everything!" "Stone is White, Mum. Trust me. Tracey looked over at Nerys, who nodded. "I just find it hard to believe. My boss? Responsible for capturing and imprisoning my husband? And also masterminding a plan to rid the entire world of its creativity? It just seems so... unlikely. I guess I never had him down as the megalomaniacal dictator type. Although, come to think of it, he is a bit fussy about his tea. If it isn't exactly the same colour as a manila envelope, he has been known to flounce out of the room and pour it down the sink. "Well, the important thing is that we have him in custody now," said Dad. "Mr White will not be able to utilise his power anymore, Chroma can be restored to its former, technicolour glory and our family is back together again. I've missed out on too much of your lives. You are going to have to fill me in on everything that's happened while I've been locked up. The group arrived at the end of the corridor. Table Guy and The Darkness, on either side of the tied-up Mr White, stood with their prisoner in front of two cell doors. 67 moved forward from their position at the back of the group,

绑架我呀？ 再者说了，就算他真的绑架我，我当初完全没察觉自己被绑了呀。 哪有绑匪带人在马东尼纳意式餐厅吃完美食，还去看芭蕾舞的呀？ 说真的，我们连品鉴套餐都享用过了！" "斯通就是怀特，妈妈。 相信我。 特蕾西看向内里斯，内里斯点了点头。 "我只是实在很难相信。 我的老板？ 竟然是抓了我丈夫把他关起来的凶手？ 还策划了要夺走全世界所有创造力的阴谋？ 这真的太……不可思议了。 我以前从来没觉得他是那种狂妄自大的独裁者类型。 不过，话说回来，他对茶确实挑剔得很。 要是茶水颜色和马尼拉信封不对得一模一样，他都会气冲冲走出房间，把茶倒进下水道。 "好了，重要的是我们现在已经把他抓住关起来了，" 爸爸说。 "怀特先生再也不能动用他的能力了，克罗马能恢复往日缤纷的光彩，我们一家人也终于团聚了。 我已经错过太多你们生活里的瞬间了。 我被关起来的这段日子发生的所有事，你们都得讲给我听。 一行人走到了走廊尽头。 桌子哥和黑暗把绑好的怀特先生押在两侧，带着囚犯站在两扇牢房门面前。 67从队伍后方的位置走上前来，

banging forcefully into Rockwell's shoulder as they passed, and unlocked the door on the left. The boy scowled and the robot's eyes flashed red at him— this time Rockwell was sure of it. "Welcome to your little hotel room, Mr White!" said Table Guy. "I do hope you enjoy your very lengthy stay with us! Actually, that's not true! I hope you have a miserable time! You've certainly earned it!" Mr Stone looked over his shoulder as the spandex-clad superhero pushed him into the small room on the left. Tracey, Nerys please help me!" he pleaded through the tiny window once the cell door was closed. "Tell them who I am!" Ignoring Mr Stone's pleas and overcome by curiosity, Nerys walked over to the cell door on the right and peered through the window. Inside, sitting on the bench, was a rather tired-looking Alan. He looked up. When he saw the woman, he smiled. "Well, hello there," Alan said. Always nice to see... a new face. Nerys, spooked, jumped backward and shuffled over to stand with the others again. They all heard Alan laughing through the thick walls. "Don't know what you're so happy about," Mrs M shouted to Alan. "Unless it's the fact that your new neighbour is an

经过罗克韦尔时狠狠撞到了他的肩膀，接着打开了左侧牢房门的锁。 男孩皱起眉头，机器人的眼睛对着他闪起红光——这次罗克韦尔看得清清楚楚。 "欢迎来到你的小旅馆房间，怀特先生！" 桌子哥说。 "我真希望你能在这儿舒舒服服住很久很久！ 哦不对，我才不是这么想的！ 我希望你过得难受极了！ 你这完全是罪有应得！" 斯通先生扭过头，穿氨纶战衣的超级英雄把他推进了左侧的小房间。 特蕾西，内里斯，求求你们救救我！" 牢房门关上后，他透过小小的窗户苦苦哀求。 "告诉他们我到底是谁啊！" 内里斯没搭理斯通的哀求，按捺不住好奇，走到右侧牢房门跟前，凑到窗边往里看。 牢房里面，长凳上坐着艾伦，他看起来十分疲惫。 他抬起了头。 看到内里斯之后，他笑了笑。 "哎呀，你好呀，" 艾伦说。 能见到……新面孔总是件开心的事。 内里斯吓了一跳，往后一跳，快步挪回去站在其他人身边。 隔着厚厚的墙，所有人都听到了艾伦的笑声。 "我不知道你在高兴什么，" M太太对着艾伦大喊。 "除非你高兴的是，你的新邻居就是

old friend. That's right, we've got him, Alan! We have caught Mr White!" Inside the cell, Alan's smile remained. He shook his head, looked down and muttered something about magic tricks. The whole exchange made Peanut feel slightly uneasy. That uneasy feeling soon disappeared, however, when Mr M said that they should head back to the control room to meet up with Jonathan Higginbottom, Josephine Engelberger and some of the other key members of the Resistance. "I've told them to join us immediately. There's not a moment to lose," Mr M said. "We have got the mother of all celebrations to plan, after all! Now that White is locked up for good, it's time for Chroma to PARTY!"

老朋友呀。 没错，我们抓到他了，艾伦！ 我们抓住怀特先生了！" 牢房里的艾伦脸上依旧带着笑。 他摇了摇头，低下头，嘟囔了几句和魔术有关的话。 这场对话让小花生心里有点隐隐不安。 不过这份不安很快就消散了，因为M先生说大家该回控制室，去见乔纳森·希金斯博顿、约瑟芬·恩格尔伯格，还有抵抗组织其他核心成员。 "我已经通知他们立刻过来和我们汇合。 我们一刻也不能耽搁了，" M先生说。 "毕竟我们得策划一场前所未有的盛大庆祝会呀！ 现在怀特被永久关起来了，该是克罗马好好狂欢一场的时候啦！"
