What's Under That Eye Patch? Chap 4

In the city of the greats, the greatest of all lives: Danger Mouse! In a quiet Mayfair pillar box the great hero relaxes on his day off, reading a book, little does he know he is about to have a unexpected visitor.

"Ring Ring!"

Danger Mouse sit up straighter and puts down his book

"Hmm, the doorbell? I'm not expecting any visitors." Danger Mouse gets up and opens the door. On the other side there is a very alert German shepherd in a well-tailored American style suit. "Hello Shortstop!" he yells loudly and grabs DM in a bone crushing hug. "Help, can't breathe!" croaks out Danger Mouse. The dog drops him quickly "Sorry about that, I haven't seen you in years. It's just my instincts, ok?" "It's okay" Says Danger Mouse and leads him into the living room. "So how have the years been treating you, Double o Woof?" smiles Danger Mouse. The dog laughs "I go by Agent Paws now, Shortstop. I'm doing well, spent the last five years in Canada and America tracking a maple syrup trafficking ring." "That long to take care of a trafficking ring?" says Danger Mouse raising an eyebrow. Paws shrugged "They really stuck to their guns." Danger Mouse rolled his eye and face palmed "I swear, your jokes got worse!" Paws laughed "It's a gift. How have you been doing?" "Well I got promoted," said Danger Mouse leaning back on the couch "Going by Danger Mouse now." "Looks like I won the bet then." "True, I owe you ten pounds fifty don't I?" said Danger Mouse searching through his pockets for the said amount and handing it over. Paws smiles and pockets the money. "As I was saying, I've been up against aliens, evil frogs, vampire ducks and traveled through time." Paws looks surprised "Sounds like thing are much more interesting over here." Danger Mouse laughs. Paws points at Danger Mouse's face "Hey! You're still wearing the eye patch from that joke in school." "It makes me look cooler, and anyways I was wearing it when I took on my assistant. I can't break the illusion now, I've kept it up for five years!" Paws face palms, "Come here you!" Danger Mouse leaps off the couch and out of reach, Paws jumps after him and chases him all over the pillar box. Paws eventually manages to corner Danger Mouse and grab the eyepatch off. "Ah-Hah! I've got it!" he exclaims. He dangles it above Danger Mouse's head playfully "Give it back!" says Danger Mouse jumping up and down trying to grab it back.

Just then Penfold steps into the room and does a double take at the scene before him.

"DM who is this?" he says gesturing to the dog in front of him, who is currently trying to hide Danger Mouse's eye patch behind him and failing. Danger Mouse stops trying to take his eyepatch back and replies "This is Agent Paws, he and I were good friends back in our academy days." Penfold steps closer to introduce himself and shake hands with Paws "Hello, I'm Danger Mouse's assistant. My name is Penfold." "Nice to meet you Penfold." Replies Paws. Just then Penfold notices that Danger Mouse is not wearing his eye patch. Penfold steps right up close to Danger Mouse and stares for a moment, then grabs the front of DM's jumpsuit and pulls DM's face down to his eye level. Penfold stares into Danger Mouse's eyes for a few moments then kisses Danger Mouse on the lips passionately. Penfold then releases his hold of Danger Mouse's jumpsuit and says "I'll go put the kettle on, Shall I?" Penfold heads towards the Kitchen, but just before he rounds the corner he turns and says "And DM? You look far more handsome without the eyepatch." Danger Mouse stares at Penfold's retreating back utterly flabbergasted. He then straightens up, raises one finger as if to make an important proclamation, makes unintelligible noises of surprise and then faints. Paws looks to the camera and shrugs. "How was I supposed to know there was unacted upon love?"

That concludes another amazingly confusing adventure of Danger Mouse! Will we see Paws again? Does Danger Mouse love Penfold back? What was the joke that lead to Danger Mouse wearing an eye patch? Tune in next time to (not) find out the answers!

Danger Mouse sit up straighter and puts down his book

"Hmm, the doorbell? I'm not expecting any visitors." Danger Mouse gets up and opens the door. On the other side there is a Minecraft villager.
