It's Not Over…Til It's Over

Hi everyone. It's been about seven months since my last EPF story (An Agent's Work is Never Done). Some (most) may not remember it, but it sort of connects to this story (and so do other of my past stories). So, if you seem confused about the characters, refer to (another one of mine) "Framed", or "An Agent's Work is Never Done". Thanks!

(Written because I felt bored not doing any of these and they were fun to make.)

"Alright, so that's 'Pyre' with a 'y', correct?" asked the EPF secretary working the front desk of the Command Room.

"No, I said it's spelled with an 'I'. Why don't you listen?" said the penguin signing up.

"Okay, sorry! Here's the instruction sheet to the oral test, and take the elevator to the Phoning Facility to take the physical test." The secretary replied.

"Whatever…" the penguin replied, taking the paper and waddling over to the elevator.

"NEXT!" shouted the secretary.

"Hi," said the next penguin.

"Are you signing up, checking in, or do you have a question for the agents?" asked the secretary.

"Uh, I sort of have a question." The penguin answered.

"And what is that?"

"Well, I'd like to tell them in penguin."

"Okay, I'll page the Director. Who specifically are you looking for?"

"Dot, Rookie, Jet Pack Guy, and PH. Do…they still work here?"

"Ah, yes, they do." The secretary paged the Director and let he/she aware that this penguin was coming to the office.

The penguin tapped the front desk in impatience.

"Alright, you can go on back. But make it quick. They're in a meeting…last door on th-"

"I…uh, know my way around…" the penguin interrupted.

He started waddling through the halls of the Command Room, getting shoved by new novice agents who had joined the team recently, or something. He didn't notice many. He saw a few he remembered, but not many.

"Hmm, Director…Director…Direct-oh." The penguin found the Director's office. He tapped it and got the response to come in. He did so.

"Hi," The Director's censored image on the screen said. "Agents, this will be brief…"

The agents nodded.

"Hi, uh, I actually have a question for everyone here…"

"And that is?" asked the Director.

"Do…any of you…remember me?" asked the penguin.

"That's your question?" asked the Director.

"Y-yes…" answered the penguin.

"Okay, I don't think I have time for this at all…" the Director said. "We've got a meeting to get to."

"Wait, you don't understand." The penguin quickly said.

"I do, now if you'll please exit, I'd appreciate it."

"Wait, wait, I was a former EPF agent, and none of you remember me? I worked on the force!" The penguin yelled as the guards came in to remove him.

"I don't remember you, or any like you, honestly." Rookie, the Communication Class Lead.

"But, I was…" The penguin was being squeezed to death by the guards. The EPF never had guards. Who the hell were they?

"What lie is to come out of your mouth?" Dot, the Stealth Lead, responded.

"Who 'were you'?" Jet Pack Guy, the Tactical Lead, added.

"I WAS RICO, YOU'RE FORCE CHIEF!" The penguin shouted.

"Hold it!" The Director shouted at the guards.

The guards stopped to let Rico speak.

"You're not Rico." Rookie responded. "He quit."

"I am Rico, and I can prove it."

"Hmm," Jet Pack Guy said. "Why would you return to the force if you quit?"

"Because…" Rico admitted. "My life has gone downhill since I quit…"

"Down what hill? Bunny Hill?" Rookie asked, awkwardly.

Rico gave him a stern look. "No,"

"So you came back?" asked Dot.

"Yes, because…truth is, I quit this because I thought that everything was going to be silent on the island. But so many agents have been hired…" Rico responded.

"Hmm, how legit is this?" JPG replied.

"Very. I want to keep up my 'impressive' work with the force. I have done a lot for the island, and I need to continue." Rico answered.

"Well, hmm, we do have a spot for you on the force." The Director responded. "Dot, would you be able to step down as your crew's chief?"

"Of course…" smiled Dot, believing Rico was himself.

"Great, so now everything's back together, right?" Rookie asked.

"Yes…" The Director said.

"Alright, so am I needed in the meeting?" Rico asked.

"No, in fact, we were only discussing a new operation possible for the tactics of the new agents." The Director said. "Meeting adjourned now."

The other three agents got up and followed Rico out of the office.

"Rico, it's great to have you back." Dot smiled. She was always quite happy when he was around.

"Are you still sad about the passing of G?" asked Rookie.

"Sort of…I've gotten over it, though. I still wish he was here." Rico responded.

They waddled to their force's office and entered.

"Well, doesn't the office look nice?" JPG asked sarcastically.

"Yes, it looks the same…" Rico laughed, implying the mess it was now. "Well, I've got to run to see Barista in his office…"

"Actually, he's not in right now.." Rookie responded. "He is off today."

"So basically, we're done for today." JPG said.

"Alright, I'm going to head out." Rico said. "What about you guys?"

"I am," Dot smiled.

"I'm going to stick around and do some work." Rookie said.

"And by that, he means, stay here and screw around. I'll stay with him." JPG replied.

"Okay…" Rico smiled. "How about we meet at the Pizza Parlor tonight? 7?"

"Sure." Dot said.

"Sounds fine." JPG said.

"Okay, commander." Rookie said.

"Alright, see ya then." Rico waddled out of the office and Dot followed.

"So, where are you off to?" Dot asked as they headed for the elevator.

"My igloo to get some work done…" Rico said.

"I'm going to go get the new Purple Wheeler from the Gift Shop. I can make a good disguise out of it." Dot smiled. They arrived at the elevator and she pushed the up button.

"Nice. I must check out the new catalog." Rico said as the elevator opened. They entered and went up to the Phoning Facility. The door closed.

"Now that we're in privacy." Rico smiled. "How were things while I was gone?"

"Rookie was still stupid, JPG was smart. Everything was normal…" Dot smiled.

Rico looked at her in a way that she knew what he wanted to hear.

"Okay, fine, yes, I missed you." Dot blushed.

"I knew it…" Rico smiled. They had never mentioned it to each other before, but somewhere in their hearts they had something for each other. But they didn't have the minds to say it.

"Rico…" Dot said, quietly. "Do you…" She paused. "uh…"

"Like you…?" Rico finished.

"Yes…" Dot blushed again.

"Uh…sort of…I…uh…yes." Rico muttered.

"Our secret?" Dot asked.

"Yes…no one can know…" Rico replied.

"Not even Rookie or Jet Pack Guy?" replied Dot.

"Not even…" Rico said as the elevator door opened. He got out and so did she.

"Okay…" Dot replied. They exited the Facility and went their own ways.

Meanwhile, at the Force's Office…

"Rookie, have you read through all these letters?" asked Jet Pack Guy looking through the letters on the table.

"No, not yet…" Rookie was searching through the files for a criminal file.

"Hmm…nothing new…" JPG sorted through. He suddenly stopped. "Except for…this…" It was an odd one. He read it…

Dear EPF Squad 1,

Hello there, "Agents". I have been watching you for several years now. I've seen all your tactics and style of work. It's time to 'put that to the test'. So that being said, I am a criminal. One who isn't afraid to kill someone on contact. I don't give a damn what you say, I won't hesitate. So, tonight and in the next few days and weeks, your skills may or may not be put to the test. It'll prove how well you are at stopping me. And it'll limit the victims of the killings I will do. See you soon, 'agents'.

-The Killer

P.S. I am going to kill someone…tonight.

(Letter Date: September 6, 2012)

"Rookie…Rookie, get over here…" JPG panicked.

"What, what?!" Rookie asked.

"Read this, right now!" JPG responded. He got out of his chair and was dialing Rico and Dot's number on his spy phone.

"What the hell?" asked Rookie.

"I know, this is bad!" JPG panicked.

"Someone is going to die tonight! Where, when…and who?!" asked Rookie.

"That's what we have to find out!" Jet Pack Guy was about to call Dot and Rico when a call from the Director came in.

"Agents, come to my office now. This is an emergency."

So how was my first chapter? Pretty…uh, bad/good for 7 months away?! Anyhow, there's more to come. Refer to my other stories for info (because there are connections to past stories). Also, this story is the 'first' in a trilogy. :P
