Chapter 7
Crescent woke up with a start, soaked in her own sweat and on the brink of completely loosing it. She was trying to see what happened next but she couldn't. She looked at the computer screen and saw that it was 4:00 AM!
A few hours later Mordecai woke up. He went to the kitchen and saw Rigby there. Mordecai sat down and Pops came in. Pops is an old man with a giant head and skinny body he kinda looks like a lollipop. He is also just plain weird, but in a sort of good way.
"Oh salutations Mordecai, did you hear, there's a man outside giving out finely wrapped sugar! Ahahahahaha!"
Pops pulled out the bag of "sugar" and Mordecai had to stop him.
"You probably shouldn't eat that Pops." Mordecai said.
"But it looks so yummy!" he said.
"It's… uh… gone bad! Why would anyone get rid of such good sugar for free?" he cleverly responded.
Then Crescent walked into the room. She looked at the bag and ran toward it.
"CANDY!" she shouted
She took a bite and suddenly she felt weird. Her happy expression was gone too.
"I apologize madam, this sugar has gone bad." Pops said
"Yeah that must be it." she said as she got to the table.
"Oh, the floor's melting." The wolf said.
She was rocking back and forth in a trance.
"I'm just going to sit here for a while Mordecai." Crescent said.
Pops threw away the bag. The blue jay got out some cereal boxes and a milk carton. He waited until the wolf got back to reality before giving her some cereal.
"That was the worst sugar I've ever had!" she whined.
Then she noticed the cereal and gobbled it up. Then they heard Benson calling them for a meeting. Mordecai punched Rigby to wake him up.
"Hey Crescent, ready for your first day on the job?" Mordecai asked.
"What's a job?" she asked
"I'll show you!" he responded
The wolf followed him through the hallway and through the front door. The meetings took place on the stairs as usual. Muscleman and Fives came up, then Skips, and then Pops.
"Alright, I want you all to meet, our newest member, Crescent." Benson said.
Crescent walked down the stairs and turned around.
"Hi" she said while waving.
"Skips, you're in charge of showing her what to do, and you can start by cleaning the fountain. Mordecai and Rigby, I want you to clean the park benches." Benson said
The two went to the garage to get their golf kart as Benson continued with the tasks. Mordecai started the engine and drove off. When Mordecai got to the eighth bench, a man, in a suit, came up to him.
"Sir, may I, ask you a few questions." he said.
"What?" the blue jay asked.
"Have you seen this woman?" he asked.
The man pulled out a picture and it was Crescent!
"So, are you a friend of hers or something?" asked Mordecai.
Then the man laughed but quickly became serious again.
"No, I'm her guard. She is extremely dangerous; when she was being transferred she took out two armed guards and ran! If you ever see her; give me a call." The man said while handing the picture to him and on the back of the picture was a number. Then the man walked away.
