Chapter 6: Flashback to What had Been
Storm Cellar beneath C-Unit's cabin
"It all began when the guards came in and dragged Fox out of the cell," Cub started.
"Alex? Why don't you start a bit sooner and give some more background information. C-unit doesn't know this stuff," Fox interrupted.
"Fine. But the next interruption that I get without someone raising their hand first, I'm out of here. Don't say I didn't warn you," Cub replied.
Cub heard an intake of air as someone (presumably Eagle) prepared to talk. This breath was cut short by flesh hitting flesh, and Cub knew that Snake had just punched Eagle in the arm.
"Thank you, Snake. Now. Why don't I begin right before I got caught? So you probably all know how Fox and I were sent undercover to...well, I can't really tell you the name of the organization as that is highly classified. Do I need to remind you that none of this information leaves this bunker? No? Good. So Fox and I were undercover in this organization. His name was Mr. George Bently, and my name was Mr. Paul Baker.
"We were there for about 6 months until we had finally gathered all of the information we needed. Throughout our stay with that organization, we had sent the information back to MI6, so we knew there was no real rush to get out of there and we could keep our covers intact and simply disappear off of the face of the planet.
"The night before we were going to leave, I had a late night visitor…
Flashback
Knock, knock
"Coming," I called out before opening the door.
"Mr. Baker. Mr. Simmons requests your presence," a guard informed me.
"Now?" I asked, glancing back at my half packed bag lying on my bed.
"Yes, now."
"Okay," I replied and stepped out of my room, careful to close my door swiftly and make sure I heard the lock click.
About halfway down the hallway, I felt something prick into my skin on my arm.
When I looked down, I noticed a needle stuck in it, and the guard pumped an unknown substance into my body.
I tried to lash out, but the drug had already worked its way into my system, causing me to loose consciousness.
End of Flashback
"The last thing I heard before collapsing and being grabbed/dragged away by that guard was 'oh, yes. Mr. Simmons will see you when you wake up, you little spy. Thought you could get away with it, did ya?' And then I fell unconscious," Cub finished this part of the story and asked, "Any questions?"
There was a moment's silence before:
"Way to tell it in a dramatic way, Jag. You should write a book." (this comment was made by Coyote)
"Did that really happen?" Raccoon asked.
"What about Fox? How did he get found out?" Possum wondered.
Seeing as these questions were asked almost simulateously, Cub had to take a minute to think before being able to answer them.
"Let's see…Coyote? I'd never be able to sit still long enough to write a book. Spying's in my blood. Raccoon? Of course it happened. Did you really think I'd tell you a bunch of lies? No, don't even think about answering that. And well, they kinda threw all of their employees in jail until they could figure out who was the second spy, and Eagle kind of blew his cover. Not that they weren't about to find out by themselves, but…" Cub answered.
"Hey! It's not my fault!" Eagle cried out.
"Did I say it was? I said that they were about to figure it out, and like the next day they found evidence for him being a spy," Cub refuted.
"I never knew you wore glasses, Alex," Fox commented.
Cub turned to look at him and saw that Fox was wearing his own glasses, probably also enhanced by Smithers.
Cub smiled and replied, "I never knew you wore them either. Looks like today is a day full of revelations. Now, do you want to hear the rest of the story, or no?"
