Hello again…I'm sorry, really I am. I've once again brought back an old story. The Pet, yes that's right; the story that people did and didn't like. Well, too bad for the people who didn't like it. It's back and very different; same story line though. Let's hope this is better than its predecessors. Well, here it is the newest version of the Pet…enjoy!
Errol She doesn't own this freaking' character. Predator is owned by the Fox Corporation. At least we want to think that. Don't sue…she's poor and pathetic.
A dark figure pushed a button on its arm band and a hologram appeared.
"Did you receive my last transmission?"
"Yes, and I shall be able to carry out your request in one earth moon cycle. I shall contact you when I have what you want. Are you still sure you can keep the creature quiet once it gets here? I don't want any of the Arbitrators coming after me."
"Yes, yes, we know all about your pathetic need to be hidden. If there is any trouble collecting the specimen then I shall pay you extra. Just make sure it isn't damaged, understood?"
"Yes, of course. Till' the cycle ends, over and out."
The figure shut of the hologram and disappeared through a sliding door.
Earth: 2006
"Oh gods! I cannot be late for the deadline. This'll be the second time and I'll get cut from the team…calm down Risa. It's only…Oh shit! Twenty minutes until its due!"
Risa scrambled about her messy studio and found what she was looking for. It was an old project that she had made in one of her weird sleepless moods. The project was a large sketch of a small child in a room full of serpentine creatures; the child was standing with a smile and open arms. It seemed to Risa that the child was standing like that for a reason, as if to say, 'I'm ready and willing'.
Risa came to her senses and grabbed her Invader Zim messenger bag and ran through the door. A lone cat awoke from within the building and looked at its rushed and worried master.
Later
"Risa! What is your excuse this time? You're late and without the project! This is the second time this week! What am I going to do with you?" The old woman sighed and looked at Risa with a tired face. Risa twitched involuntarily and she was on the brink of shouting an excuse, but she had none. The others in her group sighed too and seemed to fear for her. She would more than likely lose her job because of this error. The old woman rubbed her forehead and spoke again.
"Risa,…I am sorry but in this certain line of work we cannot have room for inadequacy. I am going to have to fire you. You have the rest of today to take all your stuff with you. I don't ever want to see your face again. Understood?"
Risa was fuming, never had she been fucked over like this before. She had only been late once before! This was not right in her mind, and she was going to let the old bag how she felt.
That's when the old bag chose to have a heart attack.
Well, that's the end of the first chapter. Sorry it's so short…I should have the next chapter up within a day or two…until then!
