Part Eleven - Is That J-Seven-Three-Three? (05.17.07)
WEE Headquarters
14,640 Hours Until the Senior Class Graduation from Middleton High...
As WEE Headquarters began to crumble as a result of the frantic battle between fraternal twins Dr. Director and Gemini, the latter was making his escape from the lair with his trusted pet dog, Pepe. As the pod lifted off, leaving Kim and Ron to watch him depart, someone, who had been filming the entire incident with a pocket camera, started running away as well, joining his fellow agents in evacuating the headquarters before it came tumbling down on them.
But once out of the main room, the transmission abruptly ended.
Fade back to the villain laughing maniacally from his swivel chair, doing so in a way that masks his identity... for now anyways...
Real Time Stamp:
17 Hours Until the Senior Class Graduation from Middleton High...
"With Global Justice's greatest agent finally out of my hair, I can finally enact my plan to take over the world! As well as teach a certain someone who's boss! Bwa ha ha!"
Suddenly, a beeping sound started to fill the room. And it was coming from the speakerphone on his desk.
"What is it, Agent Tango?" he asked.
"Actually," the nasal-voiced woman corrected, "it's Agent Sierra now."
"This better be important..."
"Yes, sir. Apparently, Agent Papa just returned from the Agent Du Elimination Attempt Number Zero-Nine Mission. Alone."
"Papa? Papa's in New Guinea!"
"No, sir, he was Agent Quebec when he left with the team. Anyway, he says that Bravo, Charlie, Foxtrot, India, and November were captured, sir."
"Don't you mean Alfa, Bravo, Echo, Hotel, and Mike?"
Agent Sierra sighed. "No, sir, I meant... you know, now I'm getting confused."
"Curses!" the boss slammed his fist on the table. "That's the last time I request a system-wide codename change in the midst of a mission. I should've done it during a company function, where at least we're all together."
"Uh... sir? About Agent Papa?"
"Oh, yes. Check him for bugs, make sure he wasn't tailed... you know, all that jazz. Once he's clean, have him come up to my office."
"Right away."
"And have Item J-seven-three-three sent up before he gets here."
"It's on the way."
Global Justice Headquarters
Doctor Director arrived in Sector A-24, where Agent Du and several GJ technicians were facilitating the interrogation of the five captured enemy agents.
"Okay, gentlemen, talk to me. What do we have so far?"
"I've already interrogated three of them," answered Du. "They all refused to answer my questions. Obviously, they were assigned to take me out - but not one of them is willing to openly admit it."
"How about the other two?"
"We're prepping them as we speak. I'm going after the youngest one next... he may not know everything, but he's probably the easiest to crack."
Suddenly, a muscular agent walked out from one of the interrogation rooms and pointed to Dr. Director and Agent Du.
"Ma'am... you're gonna wanna see this."
He was holding a small bunch of business cards, which were held together with a rubber band. But the organizational symbol on the top card was all Dr. Director needed to know to figure out who was behind the invasion.
"Gemini..." she growled.
"Your fraternal twin brother?" Agent Du asked. "The guy that runs the WEE? The one that's..."
"In jail?"
Kim and Ron were riding on an experimental pilot-less jet fighter that was screaming over the Appalachian Mountains below them as they chatted with Wade via the Kimmunicator.
"Yes," Wade confirmed. "Gemini was arrested about two months after your encounter with him for grand theft larceny! He and his men were trying to steal some top-secret technology from Cape Canaveral."
"Trying? As in, they got away with nothing?"
"Yep, they underestimated security and got rounded up even before they could get anywhere near the space center's experimental units. Gemini and 13 men... they didn't stand a chance."
"Man," Ron commented. "I thought all supervillains were supposed to be geniuses or something. I mean, you'd think they would have some sort of escape plan."
"They did," Wade said aloud. "Based on security camera footage and testimonials from some of the captured agents, Gemini actually had 15 men with him that night!"
"So, why didn't they have the police search out the missing two?"
"Because the center found out that the two on the loose weren't in a position to get their hands on the tech. They were the lookouts that night... they were supposed to have Gemini's back if something went wrong."
"Man..." Ron uttered. "They abandoned him, just like that!"
"So," Kim cut in, "is Gemini running the show from the joint?"
"Could definitely be possible, especially with men on the inside and outside. Won't know for sure 'til we question him, though."
"We should be over the Cape in about 20 minutes. We're definitely gonna get to the bottom of this!"
"Agent Papa, reporting for... reporting, sir!" the operative stated as he stepped into the boss' office.
"Please... have a seat, Agent Papa," the boss replied, pointing to the chair on the opposite side of his desk.
Papa nodded and followed his boss' orders.
"The fact that you returned alone makes me wonder... I hope you were sent here ahead of time to spread the good news of Global Justice's demise!"
"Yes, sir. Uh, I mean, no, sir. That wasn't what you sent us there to do. You sent us to eliminate Agent Du, and anyone that got in our way."
"Oh. I guess the destruction of GJ will have to wait until next week. So... then Agent Du is now an Agent Don't, I take it?"
"Uh..." Papa hesitated. "If by that you mean that Du was eliminated, as you sent us to do... then, no. Uh, I mean, no, sir."
"WHAT?" the boss yelled, jumping out of his chair.
"It's not my fault, sir! They told me to guard our entranceway passage, and that's it! I didn't go in with the others, so I don't know why they failed!"
"Why would they... you didn't need to guard the entranceway! You should've gone in with them!"
"But sir! They said..."
The boss rang his receptionist, Agent Sierra.
"You rang, sir?" responded the nasal-voiced woman.
"Where is Item J-seven-three-three? I asked for it ten minutes ago, and it's still not here! Can you explain WHY?"
"Ahem... well, I'll check on it right away, sir."
"Uh, sir?" Agent Papa asked curiously. "What is Item J-seven-three-three?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know. And if you don't WANT to KNOW, you'd better tell me every minute detail that went WRONG!"
Agent Papa gulped in fear, believing his time as an operative had suddenly become very short.
Unknown Maximum Security Detention Center, near Cape Canaveral, FL
Gemini was brought into the visitors' room, cradling his dog Pepe in his arms as he took a seat in front of the glass window, where Kim and Ron were waiting on the other side. As Gemini picked up the phone receiver on his end, Kim reached for the one on hers... until Ron beat her to it.
"They let your dog stay with you?" Ron asked.
"Yes, yes," Gemini replied. "We couldn't live without each other. It's like Pepe is a part of me, and I am a part of Pepe! Isn't that right?"
Gemini began to rub the underside of Pepe's chin, who responded enthusiastically by wagging his tail. Kim snatched the phone from Ron and started her 'unofficial' interrogation on the spot.
"So, what's up with you trying to take out an agent of Global Justice?"
"ARF ARF ARF, ARF ARF ARF!" Pepe barked loudly in disgust, making Kim lean a back a little in surprise.
"Oh, yeah!" Ron laughed nervously, remembering something. "I forgot to tell ya about that, KP."
"Shhhh!" Gemini shushed his dog, trying to calm him down as the guards looked on, eerily.
"Tell me what, Ron?"
"That you're not aloud to say those two words in front of his dog!"
"You mean... Global Justice?"
"ARF ARF ARF, ARF ARF ARF!" Pepe barked again, even louder.
"Sir!" one of the guards shouted at Gemini. "Calm it down, or we take him away from you!"
"Sorry, sorry!" he apologized as he calmed Pepe down again. "He's just a little agitated since he hasn't had his afternoon munchies yet..."
"Never knew a dog could be so picky," Kim admitted.
"If you have to refer to THAT..." Gemini warned Kim. "Just say GJ. Trust me... if I get my Pepe taken away from me, I'm walking out of here without answering a single question."
"Fine, then... GJ it is. But that's the only concession you're getting from me!"
"We'll see then. And as for your question... no."
"No?" Kim and Ron asked in unison, shooting puzzled looks at each other.
"They monitor everything in here... phone calls, personal visits, letters in the mail... it's impossible to send anything to my agents. Especially considering most of them are locked up just like me, in various places across the country!"
"So... you never put out an order to eliminate a GJ agent?"
"Why would I want to have anything to do with that place? Betty thinks she's all that, because she has the better secret agency. An agency that fights for the good of the world, mind you! And she thinks Mom will love her best because of that! What kind of flawed logic is that?"
"Some sick evil and twisted logic!" Ron exclaimed, yelling into the phone.
"Ron, focus!" Kim interjected, pushing her boyfriend away. "As for you... if I were to believe you were telling me the truth, would there be a reason for someone who used to work with you to have his or her own grudge against GJ?"
"A former agent of mine forging an offensive against my sister's organization? Preposterous! None of those bumblers could do anything right! I'm surprised I still had so many agents left when I was captured... I thought I would've fired them all before then..."
"Somebody who we believe might've worked for you in the past hacked into some computers and did this..."
Kim reached into her backpack and pulled out her college rejection letters.
"This guy... if he used to work for me... kept you from getting into college?"
Kim nodded. "We need to find him. Between him messing up my life and wanting Agent Du disposed of..."
"Wait... did you say Agent Du?"
"You know of him?"
"Yes, but I only met him once. It was when he earned the reputation of GJ's best agent. I didn't want Betty to have someone so skilled working for her, so... I tried to take him for myself."
"Like the time you took Ron because he had the 'Ron Factor' and Dr. Director had him?"
"Yes, indeed."
"Ha!" Ron smirked. "You see, Kim? He likes me! You know, if WEE wasn't so evil, maybe I'd want to be one of them!"
"He only liked you because his sister had you, Ron. He wants everything Dr. Director has."
"Is that too much to ask for?" asked Gemini. "Just because she's the older one, she gets everything! When do I get some?"
"So..." Kim deduced, trying to wrap things up, "you'd have no reason to kill Agent Du because you'd want him for yourself. That, and you seem to be the type that wouldn't kill him just so your sister couldn't have him. So... any of your agents believe contrary to that?"
"Hmmmm..." Gemini thought out loud. "The only one I can think of is..."
"AGENT KAPPA!"
Agent Du was in the middle of questioning ex-Agent Oscar, now Agent November, when the young agent suddenly blurted out the name of the current leader of WEE. Du looked up at the two-way mirror behind November. On the other side, Dr. Director and the technicians were beginning to search GJ's databases for information on this Agent Kappa.
"Agent Kappa, huh? What else can you tell me about this Kappa fellow? Is that Gemini's new nickname?"
"That... that it used to be his name. The guy, not Gemini... he's not Gemini. We haven't seen him in months?"
"So Gemini's not running the Worldwide Evil Empire? If not him, then it's this Kappa guy?"
"Louenthal."
Agent Du's eyes perked up at the name.
"Louenthal," November continued. "Tonio Louenthal. That's his name."
"He's the ringleader?"
"Yes. Now, please, cut me a deal!"
"Why?" Du asked as he headed for the door. "We got what we need."
"I'm not asking for much! All I want... is death."
As Will reached for the doorknob, he froze in his tracks upon hearing the word 'death.'
"Death?"
November nodded in agreement. "Death."
"But... why?"
"And so, when I heard nothing on the radio for about 20 minutes, I booked it outta there, leaving that hole in the ground and all of those people that had been watching me."
As Papa finished describing the events of the failed mission, a knock came at the door. Tonio got up from his chair personally to go and answer it. And waiting on the other side was Agent Sierra, holding what looked to be an advanced pump-action water gun.
"Sir?" Papa asked, getting up out of his seat and turning to face his boss. "Is that J-seven-three-three?"
Tonio responded by pumping the pistol twice and then pulling the trigger as the gun faced Agent Papa. Quicker than a blink of the eye, Agent Papa collapsed to the ground, with a six-inch cavernous hole in his chest. Blood spilled out where his heart had been, spurting out after being destroyed by whatever had been fired from the odd-looking water gun.
"Yes. Yes, it is."
He then handed it over to Agent Sierra, who was shivering in fright over what she had just witnessed. She stood there frozen as Tonio walked out of the room to tend to other matters.
