Chapter 22 Overworked and Underpaid

Quanktumspirit: "Please review."

At the DEI

Heinz Doofenshmirtz was currently sitting in front of his post and sorting it out. He has cancelled his home and re-sold it back to the original building owner. He packed everything together and was just reading his bank statement.

Sure, he was getting a handsome allowance paid in through his wife, but his 10-year job with LOVEMUFFIN never paid him a single bit. He was always reliant on his wife's alimony to feed him through his years of living.

With the small amount he had in his bank account, he could maybe just about afford the wood to have his dead body cremated once he was dead. But other than that he couldn't do anything too big.

Heinz sighed as he looked over his pillbox. All it would take is to swallow the 10 sleeping pills, and he would be released from this pain. His body ached now for days on end, and not just through his old fights with Perry the Platypus.

The tumor was hurting him a lot, and he couldn't stop it. Heinz sighed again and walked out of his home and onto the street. There he sat with one of his sleeping bags on a park bench.

"Just a few more days to go." Heinz sighed.

Just then, he looked up and heard a grrrrr noise. He looked down and saw Perry the Platypus. The Platypus blinked and jumped up to him and lay next to his 'friend'.

Heinz remained frozen on the spot. Perry looked up at him and gave Heinz the peace sign, before nudging his hand to be stroked by his friend.

Heinz chuckled, he stroked his friend's soft body and felt more relaxed than ever. Perry purred under his breath and remained by his friends' side threw out the afternoon. Heinz even fell fast asleep.

As Heinz woke back up again, he noticed Perry was still sitting by his side. Perry blinked and faced him.

'Grrrr?' Perry asked him. (Are you feeling a bit better?)

Heinz whipped his eyes, he is so touched. "Yes, Perry. People are right, having a pet can make you forget about all the troubles in one's life. So thank you again, Perry."

Perry smiled and let Heinz hug, stroke and play with him until the early evenings. Then Perry had to tell him that he has to return home now.

Heinz looked at the clock and saw they have 'fought' for over 16 hours. It was almost 10 PM with them.

"Oh, no problem, Perry. Sorry for keeping you here so long. Have a safe journey home," Heinz explained and gave Perry another hug.

Perry smiled and hugged him back. Then he left for his own home and Heinz went to bed.

Before Heinz could go to sleep, he had to flee to his bathroom. There he suddenly vomited up blood and his lunch.

Heinz sighed and rubbed through his hair, 'I'm in a pickle.'

He grabbed a bucket and laid himself back on his bed. Whiles continuing to barf up more blood. This was not good.
