Things Couldn't Get Any Worse

Part 8

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" yelled Agent R. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" he
continued. Everyone looked at him.
"See?" asked Zed. "Now there's someone who agrees with
me. Agent R doesn't seem to think we need to hire any more agents."
He finished. Lyndon crossed two of his arms.

Agent Delia smacked her partner with a folder. He yelped.

"AHHHH!!!" he hollered.

"R! YOU'RE GONNA GET US IN TROUBLE!" she growled through
her teeth.

"Wha----what happened??" he asked as he sat up in his
chair. He looked around. Zed and Lyndon were arguing and other agents
were either just waking up from a nap during the meeting or just
looking at R. He laughed nervously. He looked around and saw his
partner angrily glaring at him. Zed and Lyndon finished arguing and
the meeting ended. The agents got up and began filing out. As soon as
R got up, Del hit him again with her folder.

"You know half the times I get in trouble… I think it's
your fault, and this is one of them!" she continued. R didn't say
anything. He wrapped his arms around her. She just stood there with a
questioning look on her face. She coughed. "Uh… R? I can't breathe…"
she said. R started happily babbling.

"You're alive!" he said. "You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive!" he continued.

"Yeah… and if you don't let go, I'm not going to stay
this way for long!" she said. R didn't hear. He just continued to hug
his partner. Agent ran into them. He had fallen asleep during the
meeting. He laughed as he saw the disgusted and annoyed look on Del's
face. R's partner pushed him away. "You're crazy, you know that?" she
asked.





The next day began like every other had before it. R happily woke up
to see everything was as it should be: normal. He got up and smiled
at the framed picture on the desk in his living quarters. He knew
she'd kill him for having such a silly picture.



Agent R whistled as he made his way down the hallway. A grin crossed
his face, and things couldn't have been any better. He continued to
walk down the hall where he ran into his partner.

"What are YOU so happy about?" she asked.

"Why shouldn't I be happy?" he asked. She raised an
eyebrow.

"We have ANOTHER meeting, that's why!" she said. R
pretended to take the news in a bad way. He didn't care… he would
gladly sit in a meeting forever as long as he was near his partner.





The two arrived down on the main floor to find many of the other
agents there along with Zed.

"Agents, yesterday's meeting--- for all those that
managed to stay AWAKE for it--- brought up the issue of hiring agents
as needed for busier times. It's come to my attention we needed some
assistance, so I've brought in another agent." He said. R was busy
daydreaming and had the silly look on his face whenever he did so.
Zed continued. "The newest agent to this post of the MIB is…" he
began. R sighed as he looked at his partner. In the background, he
heard Zed talking about hiring some new agent or something.
Everything focused on Zed when he continued to speak. "The newest
agent to this post of the MIB is… Agent Gee." He said. The other
agents nodded. R bolted out of his daydream. He couldn't believe his
ears.

"Wha!?" he asked loudly. Delia sighed. She hit him in the
arm with her folder.

"Pay attention more, R!" she said. "Zed said: Agent Gee!"
she finished. R looked around frantically. He expected to see his
worst nightmare walk in. In a panic and in fear of Agent Gee, R
yelled.

"AAHHHH! NOOOOOO! NOT GEE!!!!" he yelled as he took off
running like a man insane.



A middle-aged woman walked forward as R took off down the hall in a
panic.

"I wonder what his problem is---" she said aloud with a
laugh. It was Agent Gee.

"Welcome to the New York post of MIB Headquarters." Said
Zed. "You'll get used to--- outbursts--- like that…" he began.

"… Or you'll have a psychotic episode!" joked Jay. Agent
Delia sighed.

"I don't know what's been wrong with him!" she said. "I
swear, with that and the paperwork… Things just can't get any worse."
She finished.
