Luckily, you are prepared for any eventuality. Well, you'd never been expecting these exact circumstances to come up, but you are perfectly able to improvise.
Salisbury's goons weren't that careful when they searched you, apparantly. While your high-tech spy watch has been confiscated, the fools left you your cufflinks!
With a twist of one of them, Harold's female associate is reeling backwards as a blinding flash detonates before you.
The activation of the second throws out an impromptu parachute (the one thing you'd thought would NEVER come in handy on this mission) which you use to drift to the suddenly far away ground.
As you ditch your tiny kerchief, you cast your eyes around for somewhere to hide. Crushing feet are stomping toward your position as minions mobilise to try and recapture you, with Harold's screeching tone demanding that he wants you alive.
In the opposite direction to the giants, you spot salvation. Normally, having ventilation shafts big enough to accommodate inquisitive do-gooders would be the downfall of a villain's scheme. Salisbury must have thought himself very smart when he downsized them.
More fool him; they're the perfect scale for you to escape without being followed, as it's too small for regular-sized people.
Another cufflink contains a mini-cutting torch, which expends its entire battery charge sawing through the grille, but just in time to allow you to scamper away to freedom!
Well, not quite.
There's a long way to go if you're to get out of this place, not to mention finding some way to contact your superiors and get restored to your proper size. None of the gizmos you still have on you function as any form of communication device!
So it's gonna be a long, hard climb out of this hell hole.
