The Stakeout

Episode 7 of The Common Man Chronicles, “The Stakeout,” takes us deep behind enemy lines — or at least, into the weeds behind Buzz-Free HQ.

With the sun setting and suspicions rising, The Common Man, Boogie, and Plain Jane begin their quiet surveillance. Boogie snacks. Jane scribbles. The Common Man scans the warehouse through binoculars. It’s all very covert… until Fancy Pants arrives. In full black, stepping over a ditch with a monocular and collapsible stool in hand, he insists he’s “just observing.” No one invited him. Everyone’s annoyed.

As night falls, the crew witnesses a coordinated loading operation: Buzz-Free workers in lab coats and cargo vests moving crates labeled for national shipment. Whatever’s in those boxes, it isn’t just bad coffee — it’s a full-scale sabotage campaign.

But before they can retreat, Boogie trips over a stack of crates — CLONK! — and chaos follows. The whole team scrambles… straight into the back of a Buzz-Free truck.

The doors slam shut.

And just like that, the stakeout turns into a stowaway mission.

Next week: Trapped inside the enemy’s supply line, the crew goes deeper than ever into Buzz-Free’s operation. Don’t miss Episode 8.
