A day in the life . . .

A friend of mine suggested that I add Gaz to the story somehow. It took a bit of thinking but I finally found a way that could work! How, you ask? You'll have to read 2 find out! :)

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE READ MY OTHER STORIES STARTING WITH The Truth. Thanks for your cooperation. :)

Narrative POV

A shady looking Irken walked through the docking station trying to find his contact. He felt like everyone was watching him. Finally he found the contact. "I really don't feel comfortable being out in the open like this, you know how wanted I am." Said the shady looking Irken.

"Relax. If you do everything I say then you won't need to hide. They'll all listen to us if we can pull this off." Said the contact. "Shh! Change the subject! I think someone is watching us!" whispered the shady looking Irken.

"Oh uh . . . you hear they let a human in the Irken military?" Said the contact. "No way! Seriously!" he replied. "Yeah! This human knows how to scare the crap out of some one as well as fight! Follow me." Then two of them walked towards the exit. A shadow slipped close behind them.

They whispered to each other, discussing some sort of attack. " . . . no way they'll see it coming. Trust me." said one of them. "But, some of them are just smeets!" "That just means that their death will mean something. Keep your voice down!"

Finally the shady looking Irken grabbed the contact by the arm. "Have you lost your mind! I am not walking into the Devastis training facility and doing that! I don't care about your stupid crazy plans to take over! Do it yourself, I'm out!" said the shady looking Irken.

The shady looking Irken started to walk away but when he walked around a corner he was greeted by a cold metal fist that sent him to the ground. He looked up in astonishment at the masked figure before him.

"NO! IT'S YOU!" he screamed. The masked figure reached down and picked him up by the neck and punched him three times in the stomach. The shady looking Irken gazed into his red eyes, and then the masked figure reached out his other hand and struck a muscle in his neck knocking him out.

His contact stared at the masked figure and chuckled. "I warned you. Sorry bounty hunter but it looks like you're only leaving with him." The masked figure looked at him and turned his head slightly. Then he dropped the shady looking Irken and sprinted towards his contact.

Just then a group of Vortians wielding assault rifles walked up next the contact. "Nice to meet you ZX3. I've heard a lot about you. I am Lard Narr of the Resisty. I am going to leave here tonight and there is nothing you can do about it. Oh and don't come after me or I'll capture you and remove your mask in front of your entire race!"

ZX3 extended an arm and pointed at him then walked over and picked up the unconscious shady looking Irken and threw him over his shoulders.

2 days later

Onboard The Massive

ZX3 walked behind his latest catch who was cuffed and ready to be claimed. ZX3 shoved him through a door where ZX3 was greeted by the new leader of the Irken race, Tak. "Well it's about time he was caught! Everyone is too lazy to actually go out and catch criminals. It's good that you still do . . . they say it's grief, I say it's nonsense!" said Tak

She threw a pouch containing ZX3's reward (which he easily caught) and sat down on one of the metal benches and covered her face with her claws. "Tak. Don't try to hide it . . ." said ZX3. She looked up at him with tears running down her face. "I loved Zim! It's just so difficult without him here." ZX3 looked at her for a moment and then he tossed the pouch right next to her.

"Wh-what?" asked Tak through sobs. "You need it more than I do . . ." He replied. ZX3 turned around and began to walk away when Tak interrupted him. "Wait! There is one more thing I need from you."

ZX3 turned around and slowly walked towards Tak and sat down next to her. "How much?" He asked. "Well actually two things but I'll tell you about that when I'm finished explaining this. You've heard of the Resisty right? Well I just got word that the terrorist you just brought in confessed to working with him and revealed what he was planning to do.

I need you to stop their leader before he starts a war. At a time like this he would cripple our army. But if you catch him then you'll save a lot of lives, possibly even our whole race. Don't worry. The reward is substantial. And another thing I wanted to ask. When You're done with Lard Narr, could you train my smeet Zero? Zim was going to himself but . . ."

ZX3 saw tears welling up in her eyes and he gave her a reassuring glance and slowly nodded. He got up and started heading towards his ship. "Be strong . . . for all of us." Said Tak. He turned around and said: Don't rely on me too much. I don't expect to live much longer."

This one was surprisingly exhausting to write. But It all pays off when I get to hear all of your reviews! :)
