It takes more effort to climb up the secret passageway than to come down, but eventually you make it home. [[Epilogue]]

Epilogue: With some time, Coco got back into the swing of things and became the most productive agent in R.U.F.F. history. It can be said that Coco single handedly saved countless lives while ending the reign of evil coorperations around the globe. Her lifestyle had its costs however. The Fong family are confused to this day as to the wear abouts of their dog. Today, the "lost dog" posters are all but forgotten even if their memory of Coco hasn't yet faded. [[The End.]]
