Take me or Leave me




Chapter 1 by Syrai

Same as always, I do not own these characters but if you want, you can always sue me. Not that you would get anything out of it...

A/N: So this is simply Jillybean's challenge which I took and totally forgot. Now I decided to do it, or try to do it anyway.


*God I hate these things*, 494 thought as he stopped to place the headset mike better into his ear. Crackling in his ear got louder but the fact that it was gonna blow his mind didn't really matter as long as he was able to hear the instructions from the other side of the microphone. All though the cold voice which his partner used wasn't exactly the thing he wanted to hear 24/7 but it wasn't his call. *Work is a work… Though the pay sucks.*

"What the hell is keeping you 494? Did you stop to take a nap?" He snapped back to reality glancing around. Oh, 494 could just tell that the typical conversation of theirs was coming out soon. He knew that the best thing to do right now was just shut up and ignore everything he heard coming out from her. But what the hell, he was bored!

"Yeah I did. See I took my sleeping back out of my tiny pocket and went to see the sandman."

"You do know that you ain't funny, don't you?"

"No."

"Well now you do."

"I guess so."

"Can you quit being such a jerk and concentrate on to the job?"

"Can you tell me again why we couldn't use the front door like every normal people in here?" 494 questioned continuing to walk down the empty corridor again.

"Can't you just shut up, 494?" Icy tone answered. "Just keep walking. Take a right from the next crossroad."

"I mean really – I feel like an idiot in here", he continued scanning the empty corridor with his eyes before he turned. No alarms - no signs of danger. *Good.*

"I think that has something to do with the fact that you're an idiot." Again the same tone.

"Okay, you know what – next time I tell them that I'm a solo specialist and I wanna keep it that way. See these kinds of assignments with you I mean, they're gonna beat me-"

"I'm gonna beat you if you don't shut up!"

"That's exactly my point. I feel like you don't trust me or my skills or -"

"Will you shut up already?" Now the voice was irritated. 949 smiled to himself – he sure knew how the make it happen.

"What's up with you, baby?"

"You, 494. You! I just wanna get this overdone, okay? And please, call me by my designation. It's 452."

"I know what it is."

"Good. Then use it."

452 stared the monitor in front of her with angry look in her eyes trying to find a way to guide him where he needed to go though she personally wanted to guide him straight to hell! She already hated the fact that she had to sit in the van while he got to do all the fun and on top of that he had to be such a normal annoying jerk, as he always was. Sometimes she was so ready to break his neck! 452 woke from her thoughts as she suddenly saw how the spot on the screen stopped. She draw herself closer the monitor to see better not that it was necessary.

"Okay, 452…Where do I head now?"

"To hell I hope."

"That's where we'll meet if I get caught."

"Don't move - wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait and shut the hell up."

He waited. And shut up.
