Two Years Ago

Dangeresque fell from the air and landed on the asphalt.

The asphalt was the roof of a skyscraper, and Dangeresque has just finished performing the Hurricane Kick on a henchman named Killingyouguy.

"Nice one," said Dangeresque.

"Thanks," said Dangeresque.

By a sheer coincidence, there seemed to be two agents named Dangeresque in NASA.

No, not the National Aeronautics & Space Administration. In this instance, it stands for the National Agency of Secret Agents.

Both Dangeresque and Dangeresque (otherwise known as Dangeresque too) were the top agents of NASA. And not only were they secret agents, they were also detectives, police officers, SWAT team members and notable Celebrities Testimony speakers on Infomercials for things that turned stuff into liquid.

But anyway, as I was saying, Dangeresque too had just knocked out Killingyouguy, and now the two of them had to capture both Killingyouguy's employer and a criminal mastermind, Perducci.

"Alright," said Dangeresque. "Now that we've taken care of Killingyouguy, we have to do the same to Perducci."

Perducci stared at Killingyouguy's unconscious body.

"I can't believe it!" he cried. "You defeated Killingyouguy! Well, you may have gotten rid of my secret weapon, but you'll never get the serum!"

The serum Perducci was talking about was a top-secret serum that needed to be delivered to Cutesy Buttons, to prevent her from being kidnapped. But Perducci had it intercepted b/w stolen, so now she was at risk of…um…kidnappage...kiddnapping...uh...being kidnapped. It was Dangeresque and Dangeresque too's mission to get the serum back.

But anyway, Perducci now needed to escape with the serum.

Perducci pulled out a walkie-talkie and said into it, "I need to escape. Send over…the escape vehicle."

The two Dangeresques exchanged confused glances.

Just then, a huge helicopter with a big "P" pulled up onto the roof.

"A helicopter?" asked Dangeresque.

"This is going to take some quick thinking," said Dangeresque too.

"You get back the serum," said Dangeresque. "I'll handle Perducci."
Even though both Dangeresque and Dangeresque too did not like Perducci, Dangeresque had been chasing Perducci for years, and was now closer than ever to catching him. So he needed to be the one to take him on.

Dangeresque too leapt forward, lunging at the serum.

Time seemed to be in slow motion, and you could see the next few events frame-by-frame.

Dangeresque too was in the air.

Perducci turned around in shock.

Dangeresque too was almost at the serum.

Perducci began to run away.

Dangeresque too's hands closed around the serum.

Perducci began to try to pull the serum from his grasp.

Dangeresque too pulled with all his might.

The serum slipped through Perducci's hands.

Dangeresque too landed on the roof.

Dangeresque too had gotten the serum back.

"The serum!" cried Perducci.

"Yes!" cried Dangeresque too.

Perducci turned to face Dangeresque.

"You may have gotten the serum,"he said, "but you'll never catch me!"

"That's where you're wrong," said Dangeresque with a determined look on his face.

Perducci jumped up into the helicopter.

"Go, go!" he yelled to the pilot.

"Not so fast!" said Dangeresque. Just as the helicopter began taking off, Dangeresque lunged at the landing skids. His boxing-gloved hands closed around them at the last second.

"Dangeresque!" cried Perducci.

"I've got you now!" cried the secret agent.

"Or so you think," responded the mastermind with a smile. "For little do you know I laced the skids with boxing glove lubricant!"
"What?" cried Dangeresque. "No! Foiled again!"

Dangeresque's hands slipped off of the helicopter, and he felt himself falling through the air.

"No! I was so close! So close! Noooooooo…!"

Dangeresque landed with a thud on the roof of the skyscraper.

"You okay?" asked Dangeresque too.

"What? Yeah, no, yeah, course I'm awesome."
Dangeresque stood up and brushed himself off.

Just then, a NASA helicopter pulled up. Renaldo (Dangeresque's co-worker) and Cutesy Buttons (Dangeresque's…your guess is as good as mine) got out.

"So, how'd it go?" asked Renaldo.

"Well, Perducci got away," said Dangeresque.

"But we got the serum!" said Dangeresque too.

"Perfect!" said Renaldo, taking the serum and handing it to Cutesy Buttons. "Nice work there, Dangeresque!"

"Thanks," said the two Dangeresques simultaneously. The two of them burst into laughter.

"Mmm," said Cutesy Buttons as she drank the serum. "Thanks for the serum, boys, now I won't be kidnapped."

Dangeresque looked around, and he didn't see any stairs/elevators.

"Uh oh," he said with a smile.

"Look's like we're gonna have to jump!" the two of the cried in unison, and they both leaped off the building, laughing all the way.

Two Years Later

(Now)

"I don't know about this, Dangeresque," said Renaldo. "Are you sure that tip-off was reliable?"

"Not entirely," replied Dangeresque, as he leaned back in his desk chair. "But sometimes, you gotta go on a little faith."

"Well, still, just so you know, if that guy who came up to you at Cool Weapons Surplus wearing a trenchcoat, a balaclava and a voice scrambler doesn't actually know where Perducci is hiding, and it turns out to be an ambush, don't blame me."
"Okay. Blame you. Got it."

Dangeresque got up from his desk and pulled on his raincoat.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"I've been tracking down this guy forsix years," Dangeresque said."I haven't seen him since the job with Dangeresque too. This may be my last chance to find him. I'm not gonna let him slip through my fingers again."

"Okay, I guess it's for the best."

Dangeresque pressed the button for the elevator, silently hoping that it would be broken so he could jump out the window. He sighed when he saw the elevator working perfectly.

He walked in and pushed the button for the bottom floor. The elevator went down there, Dangeresque walked across the NASA atrium and through an identity scanner as he left. As he did, a computer-simulated voice wished him a good day.

As he walked out, he found himself in pouring rain, so dark you cold barely seeyour handin front of you, not aided by the fact that is was the middle of the night.

He walked through that NASA parking lot guided by the various lamps scattered around. He finally made it to his favourite of his many cars, a white Corvette van. He got in, and started driving, making sure he followed his contact's directions exactly.

He drove south down Santa Monica and up through Glendale over to Route 91. After driving south for a few miles, Dangeresque found himself at the train station. Needless to say, there was no one there. It was nearly deserted.

Dangeresque checked his watch. It was 3:15 AM.

Just then, the far-off lights of a freight train coming into town far down the tracks could be seen.

Right on time, though Dangeresque.

As the train pulled up, Dangeresque stood perfectly still as the roar of the engine thundering across the tracks, the gust wind of from the cars rushing past his face, and the screech of the wheels as the train slowed down. When the train finally came to a full stop, Dangeresque was standing right next to the last car in the train. And in the last car, Dangeresque could see, huddled in a pile of hay, convinced no one knew he was there, Perducci.

"Dangeresque!" cried Perducci in horror. "How did you…?"
"Okay," said Dangeresque, talking into a walkie-talkie, "Yeah, it's him. Move in, guys."

A swarm of policeman ran out from their hiding places and held up their guns.

"Freeze, Perducci!" yelled one of the cops.

Dangeresque smiled.

"You're goin' away for a long time, Perducci," he said.

Dangeresque walked off with a smirk on his face.

His cell phone rang. He took it out and checked the caller ID. It said the name could not be displayed. Dangeresque pressed "talk".

"He was there, wasn't he?" said the voice on the other end happily.

"Was he ever!" Dangeresque said. "I can't believe you found out where Perducci's hiding place was!"

"Aww, come on, man! I would never let you down!"

"I owe ya one. See you later," said Dangeresque.

"You too," said Dangeresque too, and the line went dead.

Dangeresque closed the phone.
