Hello one and all! I know I should be working on my Two Demons story, but I've hit a writer's block. Sorry. So to keep you occupied, I've come up with this based on a dream I had. It went something like this...
"Everyone, may I have your attention please?" asked Magnus from the intercoms. "Our new agent will be arriving soon and I want him to feel welcome. Finish your work and meet me in the main hall"
"We have a new team member?" Will asked Henry as they cleaned up one of the abnormal stalls.
"Sure. Didn't you pay attention at the last meeting?" said Henry as he shoveled some manure into a bucket. "He's an ex-Marine. Multiple tours of Iraq, Purple Heart, Honorable Discharge. The dude's a national hero."
"Sounds like he knows how to handle himself. He'll need it in this line of business." Will shoveled another bucketful of manure. "What have we been feeding this thing?"
"Oh, the usual," said Kate as she rounded the corner, almost immediately regretting it. She wrinkled her nose as the smell got to her. "Although, I'm not sure how carrots and barley can make such a stench."
"Hey, at least you have a normal sense of smell," retorted Henry as he got another empty bucket, soon to be filled. "What are you doing here anyway? Don't you have another job with John?"
"Already finished. Just came down to see how you guys were doing. Now I see you're doing crappy."
Will stopped shoveling, pointing at Kate. He opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by an intercom beep.
"He's here," Magnus' voice said over the intercom. "Would everyone please report to the main hall."
Will looked up at the intercom, then back to Kate. "We settle this later." He put his shovel on the wall, heading over to the elevator with Henry and Kate in tow. "What's this guy's name anyway?"
"Didn't you pay attention at the last meeting?" said Kate. Will just rolled his eyes as the elevator slowed to a halt. The elevator door opened and the group stepped out in time to see Tesla walking down the hall.
"Ah, my fellow researchers and abnormal inquisitors. How goes the stall cleaning?"
"It's been crappy, thanks for asking," said Will as they exited the elevator and joined Tesla on their way to the main hall.
"No need to be rude. It will set a bad example for our new member of staff."
"Yeah, yeah. New guy, I get it."
The group eventually reached the main hall where Magnus was waiting with a man in business attire. He was tall, somewhat muscular, and had an air about him that said "don't mess with me." "Glad you all could make it," started Magnus. "May I introduce Lance Corporal 'Rookie.' He will be joining us on our next job to see if he has what it takes to join the ranks of the Sanctuary Network."
And that's how the first part went...kinda...
Well you know what to do now! Review! That's an order Marine!
