Title: A little off topic Summary: something in the BPRD is bugging Abe, eventually he cracks. Author's note: the first two chapters are the prequel; the rest is the events leading up to the first chapter. Make sense?
Author's note: I am the queen of run-on sentences, I was doing a biology lab and I realized just how many run-on sentences I actually write. The worst part is I get really annoyed when I read other people's run-on sentences. Then of course, this little plot bunny smacked me over the head and refused to leave until I wrote it down.
Run on sentances
"WHAM" the file hit the desk so hard it felt like the floor was shaking. Hellboy could swear he even saw the legs of the desk buckle under the blow, which was an impressive feat, seeing as the desk was metal.
"What is this?" a blue webbed hand smacked the top of the file.
Hellboy looked up to meet his best friend's eyes. When people first met Abe they were surprised by the lack of facial expressions the merman exhibited, but for somebody who had know him for as long as Hellboy had it was easy to tell he was furious.
"It's my report from last week's outing Blue, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? This is the worst field report I have EVER read!" Abe gestured wildly and for a moment Hellboy wondered if his friend was having a seizure.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh let's take a look shall we? Under the section for colleagues involved you wrote: 'wanted to go alone, Myers followed as usual. He was wearing a new tie, it was nice, shame it got covered in monster goop, and actually all of him got covered in slime. Serves him right for insisting he back me up. Liz laughed at him, she had a new shirt on too, and they must have gone shopping together. Liz didn't get monster stuff on her so she made Myers sit as far away from her as possible, he pouted the whole way back.'"
"So it's a little off topic…" Hellboy shrugged, he's been barely awake when he wrote it, the important thing was he'd finished it on time. For once.
"A LITTLE OFF TOPIC?" Abe screeched, visibly shaking. "IT'S THE WORST THING I'VE EVER READ. DO YOU EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH? EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE IS A RUN ON SENTENCE AND HAS THE WORST GRAMMAR USE KNOW TO MAN."
Hellboy stared at his friend. "Uh Blue, maybe you need to calm down, go for a swim or something."
"I DO NOT NEED TO GO FOR A SWIM!" Abe was actually turning dark purple. "I NEED THE 60 YEAR OLD TO STOP WRITING HIS REPORTS LIKES HE'S IN GRADE 2!"
And with the Abe stormed from the room, barely avoiding running head-on into Myers as he brought in Helboy's dinner.
"What's up with Abe?" Myers gave Hellboy a confused look.
'I have no idea."
