Two Mysterious Strangers

The Mystery man was a tall, thin, pale-faced fellow whose face seemed almost inhuman. One day he was at a party, and he saw a strange man in a suit, who also seemed to have a strange and mysterious aura about him.

"At last, we... meet... in the flessssshhhh, assssss... one might... ssssssay"

"We've met before, haven't we?"

"I'm... afraid that I'm not... really... at liberty to sssssay."

"At your house don't you remember?

"The right man... at the wrong... place... can make ALL... the... difference... in the world."

"As a matter of fact," said the Mystery man. "I'm there right now." He promptly pulled out an old cell phone and handed it to G-Man. "Call me," he said.

"Well, then... prepare... for unforseen... conssssequencessss..." Then G-Man called his house and September picked up. "I'm sorry, I appear to have made an error."

"Sssssseptember... I told you... " He was suddenly cut off by a disturbing voice. "I told you I was here," it said.

"I know. But I'm afraid... we... won't be working together... no regretsssss?"

Meanwhile, the Observers were scolding September for picking up the phone when the weird guy was supposed to, causing the Adjustment Bureau to step into action to rectify the situation, so nobody remembered that September was at G-Man's house that day.

"You invited me," said the Mystery Man. "It is not my custom to go where I am not wanted."

"We'll ssssssee... about... that."

"Give me back my phone!"

"I... think not... thisssss isss, after all, government... property... although, I'd sssssay... you can keep... that... sssssuit. You... earned... it."

"That's very kind of you," replied the creepy voice over the phone. "I also have something for you." The Mystery man held out a small package of paper toward G-Man.

"I already... know... what'sssss inside. Rather than... offer... you the... illusion... of free choice, I've... made the... decision... for you."

Suddenly, everything around them faded into darkness, leaving only the weird man and G-Man standing in space.

With the illusion of a smile, G-Man fixed his tie and said, "In the... meantime... this is where I get off."

And he turned and walked away from the weird man, stepping into what appeared to be a doorway made entirely of light, and then vanished.

The Mystery Man then began to chuckle. His laughter intensified further and further to almost inhuman levels before he turned away and was approached by a young woman, who echoed the G-Man's words:

"Prepare for unforseen consequences."

The End.
