Agent U's Partner Chapter 2:
The Introduction
Agent W sat in the wooden chair and nervously waited for her partner to arrive; she had no idea of what this person might be like. Zed had simply contacted one of the personnel and told them to send up Agent U. Agent U, hmmm…now why did that name sound familiar?
She idly glanced around the room and finally her vision rested on Zed's fish tank. She watched silently as the exotic (and unearthly) creatures swam around in their large aquatic paradise.
"Agent U's been wantin' to become a permanent field agent for a LONG time." Jay told her.
Kay shot him a quick glance, warning him not to elaborate on why it had taken this long for Agent U to achieve his goal.
Agent W sighed and tried to lean back in her chair, her back was getting way too stiff and she longed for her headset. These two have got to be over-reacting right, I mean nobody's THAT bad!…Right?!
Just then there was a knock at the door and a split second later the door knob turned. Agent W looked up with a start, Oh great, she thought, here we go!
******
He walked into the room and searched for his partner, he saw Kay and Jay (he knew that he couldn't get stuck with either of them…although it would've been an honor to be Kay's partner). He'd been informed of his long overdue promotion earlier that morning and he'd been anticipating it for hours!
A young blonde slowly stood up from her seat across the room. The two agents' eyes met and in an instant, they knew that they were partners!
Now where had she seen him before?
Hey, wasn't she a secretary?!
Wait a minute! He was the dork in the alien costume!
Agent W slumped back down in her seat as Jay started laughing with his arms wrapped around his sides.
"Agent U, meet your new partner, Agent W." Zed said without a trace of emotion in his voice.
"Her?!" Agent U gasped, "but she's a secretary!"
Agent W heard this and leapt to her feet again, within a second she was right in U's face giving him a piercing stare.
"If looks could kill…" Jay mumbled to Kay with a snicker.
"Secretary?! Well at least I'm not some YUTZ in an alien costume!" she spat.
Agent U was aback by her verbal onslaught. "Huh? Look ma'am you can't possibly have any idea how to be a proper field agent."
"Ma'am?! My name's not Ma'am! It's Agent W pal and don't you EVER forget it!" her temper was flaring now. How dare this sorry excuse for an agent barge in here and demean her in front of everyone!
Zed was going to intervene but then he remembered how annoying Agent U had been and decided to enjoy watching this younger agent tell him off the way that he had never been able to do, being the respected head of the MIB and all.
Jay was busting a gut and even Kay couldn't refrain from grinning at the whole thing.
"Look all I'm saying is that you don't seem very suitable for this job!" Agent U countered, "Answering phones and typing up the memos are NOT good qualifications for some one looking to become a field agent!"
Agent W was steamed, "Oh and suppose that walking around in an oversized alien Halloween costume and hauling paperwork around Headquarters are?!"
"I do what I'm assigned to do, like the MIB Handbook says! Being entrusted to teach younger extraterrestrials about our planet is an honor and that STUPID handbook under my pillow!"
Agent U glared at her angrily for a moment before turning to Zed, "Sir, you CAN'T expect me to work with this HOT HEADED TYPIST!"
Zed chuckled as he hustled both U and W through his door, "I'm sure that you two will be able to work SOMETHING out!" Both agents just turned their heads from each other as they sulked off down to the garage.
I CAN'T believe this is happening! W thought to herself, I'm going to KILL Agent Elle for this!
