Anyone like it so far? Remember, to keep my morale high, just review. Take half a minute out of your day to fuel my will to write!
Wow, that's pathetic...
Please review. I'm begging now. YOU SEE WHAT I'VE BEEN REDUCED TO?
"44? Is that you?" Max asked. He had been running for some time, and ended up at his car. 44 emerged from his car. "Yeah, it's me. Listen, 86-"
"Not now, 44, I'm trying to think." Max said. After thinking for a minute, he suddenly asked, "Have you seen 99?"
"That's what I'm trying to say, 86!" 44 said. "99 was captured!"
Max choked while inhaling. "What?"
44 nodded. "I saw the whole thing. 99 was running, but she started to slow down. I think she hit her head, because she clutched it as if she was in pain. I was about to head over to help her, but that's when those KAOS spooks grabbed her. I knew I had to tell you, 86, so I ran from them..."
Max hadn't taken a breath throughout 44's story. Now he slammed his fist on the hood of his car. 44 flinched. "We shouldn't have run!" he said angrily. "Now 99's been captured, and it's entirely my fault!"
"86, if you hadn't told us to run, we would all be captured. Now at least two of us are left to go get help."44 offered, trying to calm Max.
"It's no use, 44. If we were all captured, at least we would all be together. 99's in there alone right now." Max said miserably. He turned back to 44. "You said she might have hit her head?"
44 nodded, unsure of how Max would react.
"Then it really was my fault!" Max gasped. "She hit her head on the dashboard when I slammed the car down earlier!"
44 eyed Max uneasily. Everyone knew Max and 99 were in love, and 44 could only imagine how Max felt, especially since Max thought that this was all his fault.
"That was just an accident, 86!" 44 protested. "You couldn't have known she would get a head injury!"
"What do you know, 44?" Max snapped. "You weren't even there!"
"I'm sorry,"44 backed down. "I just thought-"
Max sighed. "I know, 44. I'm sorry. It's just- I feel- Oh, I don't know." He slumped against the car, feeling defeated.
44 walked over to Max and put his arm around Max's shoulders. "It'll be alright, Max. Come on, why don't we report to the Chief?"
99 woke up with a major headache. Oh, it feels like I have a hangover... she thought to herself. She couldn't remember anything, and couldn't get her mind to focus on any one thing aside from a splitting pain in her head.
She tried to sit up, but collapsed in pain when the movement sent a spasm of pain through her head. This is no regular hangover... maybe I should get help...
Suddenly, a door in 99's line of sight flew open. It banged against the wall with a crash that echoed throughout 99's head. She groaned in pain.
A group of people flocked into the room. 99 received a shock as she registered the people as KAOS agents, and all her memories came flooding back. Oh, no... she thought.
A man in a white coat came in the room. "So this is Agent 99?" he asked.
One of the agents stepped forward. "Yes. She appears to have a head injury, and we need her in perfect shape for tomorrow."
"I know, you idiot." The man in the white coat said. "I am the KAOS doctor!"
99 flinched at the voices. Every agent's attention was suddenly on her.
"Head injury?" the doctor asked quietly. The agent nodded. "Ok, let's see..." he gently shone a light into 99's eyes. She flinched back, and gave a quiet moan of pain due to the movement.
"I see..." the doctor said. He kept testing her using different methods until she was ready to pass out again.
"I think she has a concussion." The doctor concluded finally.
"A concussion?" the agent said unhappily. "Well, how long will it take for her to-"
"Recover?" the doctor interrupted. "Well, if she takes this pill, she'll be fine in an hour. The scientists developed this pill in the lab."
"Great!" the KAOS agent said. "We'll wait an hour, then call CONTROL headquarters. This agent is one of their best. They'll probably pay a lot of money to get her back."
With that, the group of KAOS agents left the room.
"Boss!" Another agent spoke up. "But what about the bomb?"
"A bomb?" The first agent snorted. "There is no bomb. That was just a front to get Maxwell Smart and his partner here. But since CONTROL doesn't know that, we don't have to tell them, do we?"
