A Good Example of a Bad Sentence

Well, maybe I should say a poor sentence. Last sentence in the comic. How would you make it better?

Okay, in my opinion, “from the agent” goes with “hiding,” so that’s where the phrase should go: “hiding from the agent in that cardboard box.” But wait! that implies that the agent was in the cardboard box!

Hmm. Both phrases could be interpreted to go with “hiding.” How would you rewrite the sentence?
