Meanwhile, Tom is a security guard who, as he tries to look at situation in panoramic area, see the mouse toy from the camera. He calls for his cat toy (Robot-Tom) to get rid of him, once and for all. The mouse toy returns to the hole, but Robot-Tom grabs his tail unscrews it bit by bit until destroyed.
