What is the World Coming to?
Mission 1: Trial and Error (Or Test Out the New Partner)
Chapter Two: The Three Stooges
A/N: I decided to experiment with POVs, let me know what you think!
"Does this sort of thing happen a lot?" Alex asked as he followed my lead and crawled out from behind the house in the direction of the kitchen.
"Sometimes," I said over the shouts of the gunshots. "But more so since I got back from a mission in New York."
The gunshots stopped and I quickly got to my feet then bolted for the kitchen, Alex not far behind. I quickly, but calmly, began to search through the drawers for some type of weapon. I passed up the steak knives.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked, figuring I'd overlooked the knives.
"I'm trying to find my gun. I know what–"
The door suddenly split in half, revealing a quite confident and vengeful Adam.
"Here kitty, kitty," he called. "Come out and play... Maybe the kitty's getting some milk." I sighed. Did that ass hole really think he was going to get a chance to shoot me?
Do pigs fly?
We heard Adam closing in, his feet crunching glass from a few shattered vases and a large mirror.
I pulled out a knife then jumped out and threw it at him with perfect aim. It stuck in Adam's arm, his good arm. Before he could retaliate, I bolted back into the kitchen and frantically searched for my gun.
"Ha!"I said triumphantly and somewhat manically as I pulled out a black, government issued 9mm semi-automatic pistol from the drawer containing saran-wrap.
"Kitty needs to learn how to play nice!" Adam shouted.
"Okay, I've had enough of your 'Kitty' references," I said. I cocked the gun and shot him in the leg then the shoulder. He dropped his machine gun as he fell. I kicked it away then slammed the butt of my own gun into Adam's head, knocking him unconscious.
"Why was he calling you kitty?" Alex asked. I jumped, I hadn't expected him to be behind me. "Oh, sorry, you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said then set my gun on the counter. "Just don't sneak up on me like that. And when I was in New York, I was Katrina 'Kat' Riddle."
Tony was suddenly in my doorway, much to my dismay. He was so bi-polar. First he was planning on shooting me, now he was playing rescue. As if I needed it.
"Are you okay?" Tony asked frantically.
"Fine, Tony," I said sarcastically. Idiot. Had he not heard the gunshots? "Just peachy. Will you get rid of him?"
"What?" He looked at the ground and the crazed and unconscious Adam. "Oh, yeah." He walked out the door. "Cole!" I groaned inwardly. Great, two of the Three Stooges were here. The only difference was that they were all extremely hot. "Wyatt!" Great. All three of them.
"What!" they called back in unison.
"Clean up detail, this one's still alive, so be careful," Tony instructed as Cole and Wyatt walked in. Wyatt was supremely short in comparison with Cole and I almost laughed at the sight. Cole was 200 pounds of pure muscle and surfer dude persona. Wyatt was the complete opposite. He was only about five eight and had dark brown curly hair. Wyatt was the complete opposite. He was usually the one brooding in the corner and was also the youngest, he was nineteen, closest to my age, and Cole was the oldest, twenty-two.
Wyatt was usually the one defending me in any case confrontation and this, of course, put me into an even fouler mood than I'd been before the confrontation.
The three of them hauled Adam off then The Three Stooges returned, again, to my dismay. I sighed and began picking up the pieces of a shattered vase, accidentally slicing my palm. Wyatt was instantly at my side when he heard my sharp intake of breath.
"Are you all right?"
"Wyatt," I sighed. "I'm fine."
"So," Cole called from the doorway. I inwardly groaned. I knew that tone of voice, he was about to say something rude, mocking or otherwise unpleasant. "Is he this insane because you had sex with him, because if it is then I'll make sure and let Alex know when your in the mood so he can get away from you."
"Cole," Wyatt warned.
"What? Is it my fault she threw herself at some guy even after she knew he–"
I'd had enough.
A cold satisfaction ripped through me as my fist connected with his jaw. I spun and kicked him in the chest, making sure he was on the ground.
"Get out," I growled.
Wyatt had an unreadable look on his face. I thought he was mad at me.
"I couldn't stand it any longer," I said after Tony helped Cole up then to the infirmary. I saw Alex staring at me, confused, but I ignored him. "He was–"
"I know," Wyatt interrupted, smile on his face. That was certainly rare. "Just the look on his face when you punched him was priceless. Seeing as you've yelled at him, thrown a drink in his face and a glass, he's used to you harassing him, but he never thought you'd actually punch him."
"Well," I muttered, picking up more shards of glass and tossing them in a nearby waste can. "What did he expect? That I would just go along with it the rest of my forced career. I don't think so. I mean, did he not see that I shot and stabbed Adam?" I looked skyward. "Why was I cursed with having to work with these idiots?"
Wyatt laughed, "I ask myself that everyday." He gently touched my arm, "I'll talk to you later."
I nodded my goodbye then, as soon as the door was closed behind him, flopped down onto the couch with an irritated sigh. I rubbed my eyes, keeping myself from screaming in frustration.
"Oh," Wyatt said, popping his head back into the room. "Rob needs you for debriefing, and make sure you're ready for the flight, you'll be leaving directly after."
I nodded without looking up and slouched even further into the fluffy creme colored couch.
"Er," Alex said uncomfortably. "Are you alright?"
I took in a deep breath as I stood up, snatching my messenger bag from a chair by the door. "Yeah, we should get to Rob's office."
"Yeah," he agree as we made out way down the hallway.
A/N: Okay, what did you think about Stevie's P.O.V.? Honestly. I can handle flames, so, if that's what it takes to get your opinion across you're welcome to it.
MzHissyFits: Thanks, and I'll do that.
redneck chick: Thanks, and I already know what type of relationship they're going to have, but I'm not gonna say and you won't find out until much later chapters.
Pycho Doughnut: LOL, wow. Thank you! I started to read your Spy vs. Spy, and I liked it, but I haven't had time to review it yet.
hisluv: Thanks! And here's the update!
Katweenathesmiley: Yeah, I agree about the action, but it had been boring to me when I re-read the first draft, so I thought a little action would help.
Thanks for reviewing guys!
