I glanced uneasily at the darkening sky as I reached Shark Bay. I was sure a storm was on the way. I needed to patrol the area thoroughly but quickly. I looked around, unsure where to start. It was strange; I usually saw lots of agents crowded in one place, discussing and sharing advice on the field-op, but Shark Bay was completely deserted. I sat down and thought for a while. "Come on, Waddle8438, think!" I told myself. "If you were an evil crab, where would you hide?" I looked around and noticed a couple of snow-topped trees growing tightly together, close to a half-frozen part of the sea. I decided to start investigating there.
As I approached the grove of trees, I tripped and fell into the snow. I whipped my head around to see what tripped me. At first, I saw nothing. Then, I noticed a small hole, half-hidden in the snow. Walking up to it, I brushed away some of the snow covering the hole. The hole turned out to be quite wide, big enough for me to fit through. Then I looked closely. What I found out nearly stopped my heart.
The "hole" wasn't a hole at all. It was the entrance to a tunnel! Perhaps Klutzy was inside! Excited, I dropped down the entrance and just managed to squeeze into the tunnel.
The tunnel was dark and damp, and with some difficulty I crawled through. Fortunately the tunnel grew wider and soon I tumbled into a large cave. I got to my feet instantly and dusted myself off. As I straightened my Alpha suit, my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I realized that the cave HAD to be Klutzy's hideout. It was perfectly obvious. In a corner lay a PSA Spy Phone with a broken teleporter lying on top of a large slab of rock. There was a strange device that looked almost exactly like the main computer system in the Command Room as well, and ripped-up files stolen from both the PSA and the EPF lay everywhere. I found out that Herbert and Klutzy must have been using the cave for quite a while, for some of the PSA files were pretty old. I found plans for the preparations of some of the oldest PSA missions, such as G's Secret Mission and more.
After poking around for a while, I discovered that the cave was probably deserted. The footprints on the cave floor that were not mine were stale, and the tunnel entrance had probably once been bigger, big enough for Herbert. I suspected the entrance had frozen and shrunk over time. Putting some of the EPF and PSA files I had managed to piece back together in my pack, I waddled back to the tunnel and hoisted myself back up to the sunlight.
I had found Klutzy's hideout, but he wasn't there. I suddenly realized that the field-op tracker in my phone hadn't even beeped. I must have spent half an hour in that cave, and though I had proof that Klutzy was around, he probably hadn't been at Shark Bay for a few days. I was thinking about going back, but then I remembered that a good secret agent never gave up. I decided to check the tall cliff that overhung the sea.
I had just reached a small, treacherous ledge on the cliff and was searching for clues when I heard a loud "SNAP" in the bushes behind me. I froze, and, turning around slowly, I noticed a flash of red in the undergrowth. When I saw it, I couldn't believe what the creature was.
It was Klutzy!
