Footsteps could be heard from the other end of the hallway as Maxie waited patiently for his grunts to arrive. (Name) had taken control of a mission, something no one had a problem with; not only was she a trusted admin, she was also Maxie's girlfriend. Everyone knew better than to get on her bad side.
When (Name) and the grunts came into his sight, Maxie began walking towards them. He clasped his hands behind his back, his lips flat, as he went to meet them. The grunts all gave a respectful nod to their leader.
"I assume that everything went well, (Name)?" Maxie locked eyes with his lover. "Archie did not see anything coming, did he?"
"Of course not." (Name) replied smugly. "We were able to knock-out their new base without any problem. I wish you could have seen the looks on their faces."
Some of the grunts behind of (Name) laughed at the memory. Maxie's lips tugged upwards into a smirk.
"Wonderful. And the orb; where is it?" Maxie prompted excitedly. Then, (Name)'s confidence faded.
"About that... Shelly happened to snag it off of one of our grunts as we fled." (Name)'s eye twitched. She pointed at the shaking grunt, showing Maxie who he was. "She tripped him, stole it, and ran."
"You imbecile!" Maxie scowled. "We're almost out of time!" He turned to (Name) once more. "We're going to get it back! Come on!" (Name) nodded. "One of you morons!" Maxie began to run with (Name) in suit. "Tell Tabitha he's in charge!"
