As soon as Frank got back to the lobby he saw Violet Baudelaire. Frank motioned over to the closet. The concierge asked for the harpoon gun. Frank gave the poem, and Violet said, “John Godfrey Saxe,” Frank nodded and handed Violet the harpoon gun. She was already working on jamming it so the firing mechanism would not operate. With the weapon now sabotaged, Baudelaire went back to the elevator and to the sunroof tanning salon.
Frank, meanwhile, met up with a volunteer who had arrived early.
“The world is quiet here; J.S., what are you doing here?”
J.S. replied, “Are the Baudelaires here?” Frank nodded. “Good. Have you disposed of the gun?”
“No, Violet Baudelaire has jammed it so it won't fire.”
“Clever inventor she is. Her mother would've been proud of her.” said J.S.
“Yes, Dewey's working on the Vernacularly Fastened Door as we speek,”
J.S. nodded, and was given the slip of paper by Frank; the one with the message meant for Ernest.
And as Frank went away to do more V.F.D. work, J.S. smiled in triumph. Her plan would go smoothly. These volunteers will be easy to confound. Smoke and mirrors indeed! Ha! I have fooled them once again.
Meanwhile, back at the coffee shop, Ernest received a message concerning a certain writer arriving to the Hotel Denouement. He must get to Lemony Snicket before Dewey hid him away in his underwater catalog, wherever the entrance to that place was.
Ernest went to the sauna room on the sixth floor, told everyone to get out, as the Hotel had very important matters being attended to. The concierge that stood watching was Klaus Baudelaire. He told him about the birdpaper and about an incident on Mount Fraught. Klaus was then asked if he was who Ernest thought he was after he had helped hang the birdpaper out the window. Klaus gave an answer. I do not know what he answered for his answer, but it was his answer, and Ernest Denouement declined to tell it to me when I interviewed him as a part of my research of what went on in the Hotel Denouement, but in any case, Ernest Denouement nodded and beckoned the volunteer into an elevator, which Ernest would be taking to the sunroof bathing salon.

Dewey raced downstairs before anyone would see. He saw Sunny put the lock on the door.
Good. At least we don't have worry about losing the sugar bowl
"I beg to differ!"
Dewey spun around and found himself face to face with J.S.

Ernest Denouement led the middle Baudelaire child to the pirate boat that belonged to Carmelita Spats, and they got on it, seeing that Esmé and the girl were not there right now. Ernest saw the diving helmet, pried it loose from the bow, and slipped it into a large pocket. Ernest grabbed sheets and towels that were around the pool, and tied them together to form a drag chute, and tied it to the boat. Ernest ordered Klaus to grab those large spatulas and hand them over to the unfathomable Denouement triplet. Ernest placed the spatulas into the boat, guided Klaus onboard, kicked the boat to get it off of the roof, and climbed in himself. It worked. The drag chute worked, and they angled the sail towards the wind, and landed on the ocean-pond. Seconds later they were sailing away from the Hotel Denouement to meet with a group of female Finnish pirates.
Frank, meanwhile, had just gotten word from a reliable volunteer that L.S. would be submitting crucial evidence at the trial. He had no word about Klaus Baudelaire, only that he was seen with Ernest or Dewey. Probably Ernest, as Dewey would be risking alot to be seen. Frank sighed deeply as he saw another Volunteer Factual Dispatch. This one was disconcerting.
To: Frank Denouement
From: LS
J.S. is an impostor. I repeat. She is an impostor. She has been passing our plans to Ernest and Olaf. Also, Quigley Quagmire is alive, I repeat, alive. Ask Dewey to search for one of his files. The Winnipeg file. There is one more thing with which I must burden you. It was J.S. It was her who burned down the Baudelaire mansion. She’s with the F.F.P. The Female Finnish Pirates.

"Dewey, you know those villains will get to the bowl eventually." J.S. said.
"What villain has read enough to decode some of the answers?"
"Those two judges. And, of course, Hector, who has the Quagmires in his clutches."
Dewey gasped in surprised. "H is--"
"He was on their side all along" JS said.
"But he's the one who told me to lock it in the laundry room!" Dewey shouted in disbelief.
"Quiet!" she whispered, they'll hear us in here." They were in a cupboard next to the laundry room.
"He even helped with the idea for the underwater catalog! Was that suggestion a trick all along." Dewey asked disparingly.
"I'm afriad so." JS said. She looked at the ceiling--which was rather low, becuase they were in a cupboard--sadly for a moment. "Your catalog was never safe. He'll find it. I can change the lock to it."
"Take this one then," Dewey said. He couldn't believe that Hector had been playing him like a fool all along. "I was told you were to handle it if information was passed to the other side. You're our best member, JS."
"I've never let you down before!" She smiled. "What are the phrases."
"A medical condition the three BAudelaire children share, the weapon that orphaned Count Olaf, and the famous unfathomable question in Richard Write's most famous novel."
"All easy questions, and HEctor know doubt know them." She typed the three phrases in. The door opened. She popped off the lock. "Take me to the door."
They walked through the room just in time to see something plop into the ground in the room.
It was the sugar bowl.
JS rushed up grabbed it.
"Got here just in time!" she sighed, picking it up.
"Take it with you." Dewey said. "Go far away."
"I will!" JS declared. "Where's the entrance to the catalog!"
"We changed it." Dewey said. "It's this trapdoor right here, leading into the building beneath the pond. It's also the way out!"
"Great, she said!" she climbed inside, and fiddled with the lock for a bit.
"I've put in some tougher questions!" She declared. "Lock the door behind me!"
"Thank you!" Dewey said. "I can't thank you enough! Here!" He shut the door above her and inserted the lock into place.
JS smiled an evil smile. Dewey, you poor pathetic fool. SHe clutched the sugar bowl in her hands and pulled out her hidden matches. She rushed toward the catalog and set the papers on all ends of the large room on fire.
She laughed maliciously.
"That's the end for you, VFD!" she cackled. "You're last safe place is burning, and I've got the sugar bowl."
She climbed up the tube and into the cold lake.
An old badly used ciggaratte floated passed her,
Ugh. I wish that man would learn where to throw his trash she thought.
She climbed out of the pool and walked away from the building.
She talked into her walkie talkie. "Mission accoplished."
"Very good." said the deep deep voice of the woman with hair but no beard. "Our mission goes well also. Soon all of VFD will be history."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dewey felt relieved. The sugar bowl was in good hands. The catalog was safely locked away.
"Dewey!" Frank said, running to his brother frantically.

Frank ran to Dewey.
“Dewey! J.S. is an impostor! She's working with the woman with hair but no beard!”
Dewey nodded sullenly. “I know, Frank.”
Frank said. “Did she burn the catalog?”
“No,” Dewey replied, seeing Frank ease up. “It was a decoy catalog underneath the pond. The real catalog is deep inside the pond. The sugar bowl I gave her was a fake also.”
Frank said. “Violet Baudelaire jammed the gun, and Sunny brought you the lock. Where is Klaus? I haven't seen Ernest anywhere either.”
Dewey answered, “Well, Frank, Ernest and Klaus took that boat on the roof and dropped it onto the pond, and they are going to meet up with the Female Finnish Pirates.”
“And the sugar bowl?”
“Oh, It's safe.”
“How so?”
“It's in my underwater catalog.”
—————————————————————
Ernest stared out at the night sky from the sailboat, the stars twinkling in their twilight. “Where are we going, Frank?” asked Klaus, who was at the bow.
“Or Ernest,” added Ernest slyly. “We are going to gather with the Female Finnish Pirates in order to have an advantage at the Hotel Denouement.” said Ernest unfathomably. “After we meet with them, we will return, and you will go back to your siblings. While I will meet up with the other manager and discuss things. Look…! Something's coming our way.”

Dewey hid on the wall. The Baudelaires were coming tonight, just as Frank had said. He hoped they'd find him before Olaf did. Olaf and his associates were on high alert that their plans had been botched by that decoy Dewey had rigged. He had almost blown his cover with that stunt.
