Part 3 -- Summary
From the bottled water he drank, this excruciating transformation has made Geronimo bigger and angrier, squeezing the bottle, letting out his roar, and ranting about the outcome.

As Benjamin is receiving info from Thea, the roar travels around the building, prompting Thea and the clocked stranger to go downstairs, only to find Geronimo barging out of the room, in a muscled form. Still overwhelmed with pain, he attacks the duo, but they manage to subdue him with chloroform. Some time later, Geronimo wakes up shocked by his big body, as Benjamin calls Thea and reveals another side effect which is, much to discomfort and horror, that the mutation is permanent and the affected is left prone to anger. Despite that, Geronimo is relieved that Thea has the documents, and that they're off to put them on the news.

On the next day, the info is revealed to the public, but most viewers ignore it in favor of watching Geronimo's new look. Later that night, Benjamin hacks and shuts down all the auto defenses as the demolition team heads to take down the whole building itself and the rest, much to the anger of the head of Alka, who decides a full organized revenge.

Transcript: (This transcript takes Part 2 and 3, will be added later)
Somewhere in the basement floor...
Geronimo: Geez, this building's eerily empty after its closedown. Better find the source of that.
Meanwhile in the upper floor...
Thea: So the stranger said there might be offices here, oh it's there. (Enters the offices)
Thea: What a mess, as if everyone's in the hurry of evacuation. (Notices a small safe with a broken door)
Thea: A safe, seems broken (Opens the safe, revealing a folder of documents) Interesting, might as well snoop through it.
Thea: The Alka Water is...rejected? Despite intentions of making it safe and healthy, it is found that subjects suffered painful mutations by touching or consuming the water, and that they went berserk. It is also later confirmed that the water contain some toxic ingredients. So if the water has been rejected for past 3 months, then what are the other factors that forced the company to shut down? Time to alarm G.
10 minutes later...
Geronimo: All rooms I searched, they're all empty, except that one. (Enters the storage room, switches on its light)
Geronimo: This room is also empty, except there is a box of bottled water. What is this? (Opens and sips the bottled water)
Geronimo: Well, this water sure tastes like some ordinary water, except it is less transparent and a bit more absorbable. Wait, my hand is starting to get tingly, and I don’t feel right--
Geronimo: Ah! What the cheese?! I’m starting to grow! This is not good!
Back in the offices...
Thea: Oh great, no response from him, must be his phone being silent. Time to call Benjamin.
Thea: Hey Benjamin. Sorry to disturb you but I need you to do a favor. It's something about these documents about Alka water and its effects.
Benjamin: Okay Thea (yawns), my best thing to do is to call a health inspector on this. (Takes 30 seconds)
Benjamin: Good evening sir, I'd like to ask about the Alka company. If you have much to explain--
Health Inspector: I'm sorry sir, it's complicated but if you're working for that company--
Benjamin: No sir, we'd just like to know about the effects of the company's water, saying about painful mutations and so.
Health Inspector: You're too young to know, aren't you? Very well, if you're curious. A week ago, we sent one of our teams to inspect the Alka company when someone literally crashed out the wall and attacked anyone before he was shot down. We went on an aggressive search when we discovered the effects applied from the water. The affected subject just went through painful muscle growth, putting them on a frenzy.
Health Inspector: The staff tried to stop us from closing the building, even with force, but given that all guards are either down or busy, we easily disarmed them with stun guns and flashbangs. I know it was unethical and unprofessional, but thankfully no one was killed in self-defense.
Health Inspector: We decisively closed down the company 2 days ago, and even planned of taking the building down, not wanting anyone to fall under the effects of the toxic water. Unfortunately, we underestimated the automatic defenses as we had a demolitions expert injured. We're still working on it, I assure you.
Benjamin: I see. But sir, if I may. I know hacking a lot, and those defenses you mention may have a weakness as well.
Health Inspector: Everything obviously has the weakness, but what are you suggesting, young mouse?
Meanwhile on the ground floor...
Stranger: Ah there it is, a room with no label, that had me fired while cleaning up. (Enters the unlabeled room, completely empty)
Stranger: What? I remember there were water and some stuff scattered around the floor. Not even the cracks help! Rats! (Exits the unlabeled room but notices an open door across)
Stranger: Huh? A locker room, boy did I wish to have a locker of my own. Perhaps something interesting inside? (Enters the locker room)
Stranger: Oh dear, it's not just cracks. What happen to all these lockers? And what's with all these bottles? (Picks up a bottle and reads)
Stranger: "Alka", too simple. (Notices the writing on the back) "DON'T DRINK IT", oh my. Well that explains this mess. Gotta get to the Stiltons.
Less than a minute later in the storage room...
Geronimo: Ack! Aaah!! (Torso enlarging, clothes tearing up, painful grunts getting louder)
Geronimo: Aah! AH! GAH! AAAAAHH!!!! (Crushing a bottle)
Geronimo: GRRR!! IS THIS WHAT I HAVE BECOME FROM DRINKING THIS WATER?! I AM SO MADDER THAN EVER THAT I WANT TO SMASH SOMETHING AROUND HERE! ANYTHING!
Few seconds later on the ground floor...
Thea: It must be Geronimo! I heard his scream!
Stranger: He's still downstairs! Let's find him! (Thea and Stranger entering downstairs)
Thea: Where is he?! (Geronimo barging out of the door, continuously rampaging around the hallway) Oh no!
Stranger: What has happened to him?!
Thea: He must have drunk the company's bottled water! Like one you're holding! (Geronimo quickly turning to the duo, screaming and charging at them)
Stranger: He's onto us! Look out! (Stranger and Thea dodging G's attacks) Thea, distract him! I know a way to calm him down!
Thea: Then hurry! (Stranger running to the Janitor's Room, Geronimo approaching Thea)
Stranger: (scavenging, finding the mop) This could take many hits to stop him! But there must be anything that can knock him out! (grabbing a bottle of chloroform) And what's this?!
Thea: Cloaked creep?! (Geronimo about to punch Thea on her face)
Stranger: Hey you! (throwing the mop at Geronimo, prompting the latter to catch the mop and charge at the Stranger)
Stranger: (quickly applying chloroform onto his handkerchief) Smell this! (jumping onto Geronimo and planting a hankie on his face)
Thea: Are you using chloroform?! That takes minutes to knock him out!
Stranger: What?! (Geronimo gripping on Stranger, while the latter tries hold onto the former) Woah! Then I still need assistance!
Five minutes later, Geronimo is asleep...
Stranger: Well, that was close. Not as close as one bottle vandalized with "DON'T DRINK IT".
Thea: If that's the case, should he have read the label before drinking it?! Like a bottle or a box of bottled water?!
Stranger: I don't know. This is the only bottle that has warning written on it, and companies like Alka can be deceiving with products. I'm pretty sure he was curious and unaware of the water's effects. (Geronimo waking up)
Geronimo: Yeah, how curious I was. (Looking at his body) Oh cheese sticks! What has happened to me?!
Stranger: Oh, look who's come back to his senses. Now calm down Geronimo, you're alright.
Thea: Yeah, I have the documents concerning those effects and I have sent them to Benjamin. We'd better get the news from him. (Thea's cellphone ringing) Oh hey Benjamin, what's up?
Benjamin: Thea, no offense but I've just got more info from the health inspection's studies on Alka water. It turns out that its effects are permanent, meaning subjects will never turn back to normal, and will be prone to anger.
Thea: What?! That can't be true!
Benjamin: Sorry Thea, that's also what I heard from those who volunteered drinking the Alka water.
Thea: Oh no! Now Geronimo is gonna be like this, forever?!
Geronimo: Now, now, Thea. I'm sure I'll get used to this, but I'm glad you've got documents for the news!
Stranger: Yeah, sorry for putting you two into trouble. If we learned those effects sooner, Geronimo would not end like this. And to be honest, I feel like I need to tell the world who exactly I am for this investigation.
Geronimo: Well, we could learn your real name, but not this time. After all, I would rather honor your deal than expose you to your enemies.
Stranger: Yeah, you're right. I guess it's better to stay low for now. Nevertheless, thank you two. Now let's get going.
