Max and 99 went into the Chief's office. He had a very grave look on his face.
"Hi, Chief."
"Hi, Max, 99."
"You wanted to see us?," 99 asked.
"Yes. Sit down." They sat. "I've decided to fire Agent 113."
"Fire him?," Max and 99 said together.
"I'm affraid so. He's just too incompetent. His bungling of the Berlin Affair caused one of our agents to be killed. That was the last straw."
"But he's been with CONTROL for over 20 years, Chief!"
"I know, Max. He'll get a good severance package. I invited you two here to give him some moral support."
"Of course," said 99.
He pushed a button on his intercom.
"Yes, Chief."
"Come into my office please, Larabee."
