(I do not own T.U.F.F Puppy or any COD references or characters.)
He still had many secrets. If someone found out about this specific one, you would thought he was crazy. In fact he had a secret that HE, himself didn't know he had or could remember. He had a friend, that he can no longer remember, due to the CIA. This is what happens when you try to brainwash a Ghost.(Screen should/does show the Ghost image at the end of Elias T. Walkers ghost story.)
(The episode starts with Snaptrap's giant robot, which also resembles him, terrorizing Petropolis. Snaptrap, Ollie, Larry and Francisco are shown inside.)
Snaptrap is shown laughing. "My new giant robot is the bee's knees! I can terrorize all of Petropolis. Plus, I can see my house from here." He said while controlling the robot. "Hi Mom! Get out of my room!" He ordered, while waving at his house, off screen.
"So, what crime are we gonna commit first boss?" Ollie asked, while holding a cup of tea.
"We're gonna rob a gas station.. 'cause this thing gets like, no mileage." Snaptrap answered, while looking at the gas meter.
"Uh, my dancer outfit is too tight." Larry complained, while trying to loosen it, only for it to start suffocating him.
"For the last time, you're not a dancer! I'm just trying to give us a new look. DEAL WITH IT!" Snaptrap demanded.
"I don't mind the new look, but the new names you gave us are really lame." Francisco commented, while holding a mirror.
"Yeah, I hate being Professor Pink." Larry stated.
"Oh, well, maybe you'd rather be Professor Pavement! Sneeze button!" Snaptrap retaliated, while pressing the sneeze button. Larry is then ejected through robot's nostrils and into the pavement.
(Meanwhile Dudley is charging through highway traffic in the T.U.F.F Mobile, with Kitty attempting to stay in place, with her claws protracted, scratching and tearing in the dash board.)
"Dudley, I know you're trying to catch a giant robot but you have to be more careful!" Kitty told him, worriedly.
"I know. But driving like this is just way too much fun." They both then see the robot start firing lasers at buildings. "I bet that thing gets like no mileage." Dudley commented, while pulling over his mask. "Kitty, take the wheel, and I'll keep the mask.!" Dudley, now Ghost Dog ordered, while ejecting from his seat jetpack. After that, Kitty had taken the wheel and attempted to keep up.
(Ghost Dog then flies into the robot's head.)
"Freeze Snaptrap!" Ghost Dog ordered, while flying around in the head.
"It's not Snaptrap, it's General Periwinkle!" Snaptrap replied.
"And, I generally don't care. Anyway, you and your dancer friends are all under arrest." Ghost Dog shot back.
"We're not dancers it's a look!" Snaptrap stated, annoyed.
Ghost dog then jets off to robot's control panel and pulls switches causing robot to move. "Sorry I wasn't listening. You know what they say.. in one ear, and out the other!" Ghost Dog said, while pulling a lever, which makes the three bad guys fall out of the robot.
(Snaptrap, Ollie and Francisco then fall out of robot through ear and fall onto Larry, who just managed to scrape his way above the pavement.)
"Yes! Now to park this baby before it can do any more damage." Ghost Dog said, while controlling the robot. "Oh look a nickel!" He said, while using the robot's arm to grab it. "I'm wrong, it was a bottle cap." He stated, while discarding the bottle cap.
(The Chief is shown driving a tiny green car down the street. Then stops for a red light.)
"My first new car in twenty years! Probably should have sprung for that bottle cap insurance, but what are the odds?" The Chief asked himself.
(Then the bottle cap from before crashes down onto The Chief's car, crushing him in the process.)
(The scene cuts to a table meeting in the D.O.O.M. lair. Snaptrap, Francisco, Larry and Ollie are in casts and bandages.)
"Agent Ghost Dog has foiled me for the last time! Do any of you yahoos have a plan for getting rid of him?" Snaptrap questioned. He looks to Ollie. "Doctor Purple, you're raising your hand?" he asked.
"Actually I don't..have a plan, this is just the way they set my cast." Ollie stated.
"Well.. maybe a nice bowl of Evil O's will give me an idea." Snaptrap said while pouring cereal into bowl. But then a hypnotism device falls out. "Oh goodie, I got a prize! It's a hypnotizing thingy. That's it. I'll hypnotize Agent Ghost Dog to act so cuckoo crazy, he'll get fired from T.U.F.F. Yes Doctor Purple?" Snaptrap said and asked.
"Cast, boss." Ollie answered.
"Right.. sorry." Snaptrap apologized.
(We have a transition to the Chief in his office at the T.U.F.F. headquarters.)
"Agent Puppy, I'd like to give you a medal for foiling Snaptrap.. but I can't because I'm still trapped in my car!" The Chief exclaimed.
"Sorry Chief... I'll replace the car, and your tiny CDs." Dudley replied nervously, while holding broken tiny CDs in his hand.
(We have a quick cut to Dudley at his desk in his office cubicle. The hear a beep.)
"I got an e-mail?" He said, in a questioning voice. "Hmm, every part of me says don't answer it, but it could be important. I know I'll wear the mask." He said, while putting on his mask and playing the video. A video of a hypnosis spiral appears on computer screen, Dudley is shown, being hypnotized.
Snaptrap is in the video. He rings a bell while music is played and enunciates his words. "Agent Ghost Dog, whenever you hear the sound of a bell, you will obey my command. Only the sound of a second bell, will snap you out of it." Snaptrap stated normally. "Can it Professor Pink! That music is giving me the heebie-jeebies." Snaptrap ordered.
(The video ends, 'Ghost Dog shakes his head. But not without seeing an old/old friend wolf figure a few feet away from him. Giving him a smirk and disappears.)
"Attention T.U.F.F. agents, report to my office for an emergency meeting." The Chief said, via the PA system. Then a red alert sounds off.
(All the agents then bust into his office.)
"What's the emergency Chief?" Kitty asked.
"I'm entering the bake-off at the county fair.. and I need your opinion on these pies." The Chief said atop his desk, while he was wearing a apron the read 'Top Chief'.
"That's the emergency?" Kitty questioned annoyed.
"Hey, first prize is a gift certificate to the tiny CD store!" The Chief replied.
Then they here as Dudley's phone rings. "Hang on, it's the bone phone." He then answers it. "Hellooo."
"Agent Puppy, you're a hungry woodpecker and you think everything you see is made of wood." Snaptrap said, via the phone as a bell rings.
"Must... peck... wood! HI-GEE-GEE!" Dudley said, in a hypnotizing voice.
(Dudley then pecks Kitty, Keswick and all of the Chief's pies into smithereens. But then the kitchen timer rings, snapping Dudley out of his hypnosis. He is shocked by the mess he caused. Everyone is covered in pie. But then he sees the wolf figure again, laughing and leaning against the door frame. But then disappears as Dudley looked away.)
"Agent Puppy, have you lost your mind?! I was up all night baking those pies!" The Chief asked and stated.
"He.. kinda did you a favor Chief. Who puts m-m-m-mustard in a cherry pie? I mean seriously people!" Keswick said and questioned, as he tasted a pie that was on his head.
"I don't know what came over me. Guess I went a little crazy huh?" Dudley asked.
"Look, maybe you've been working too hard.. why don't you.. go take a break?" Kitty told him. But before anyone could talk Dudley heard a voice, it sounded low and far away, as if it was a flashback.
"Dudley me friend, it has been a long time. It's good to see you again." Said the voice, in a Russian accent.
"Who said that?" Dudley questioned in a low whisper, then he walks back to his desk.
(We cut to Dudley as he is sitting at his cubicle.)
Dudley is shown with his head leaning on his paws. "Kitty's right.. Maybe I am working too hard. She's always right, most of the time." He said to himself with a small frown/smirk, then his phone rings, answers it. "Hello!" He said, while answering.
"Agent Ghost Dog, you're a pretty princess and you're late for the ball." Snaptrap said, via the phone, with a bell ringing in the background.
"Must.. get.. to the ball! Aaaah, HI-GEE-GEEEE! Dudley said in a hypnotizing voice.
(We have a transition to The Chief wiping cherry pie filling off his desk's nameplate. Kitty and Keswick are standing with cleaning equipment.)
"There, that's good as new." The Chief said proudly.
(Dudley then breaks into office, riding a jackhammer.)
"I'm a pretty princess and I'm going to the ball!" Dudley said, while wearing a dress.
(He then chases The Chief and Keswick with jackhammer, causing destruction in the process. Kitty luckily dodges the 'attack'. Then a alarm bell rings, snapping Dudley out of his spell.)
"Agent Puppy, what in the world are you doing?!" The Chief questioned.
"Well apparently he's riding that jackhammer to some sort of b-b-b-ball." Keswick stated.
"What's going on, Dudley?!" Kitty asked.
"I don't know! One minute I was fine and the next I thought I was a woodpecker and a pretty princess and a I don't know." Dudley replied.
"Look Agent Puppy, maybe you just need a little R&R. Why don't we all go to the county fair? You can watch me win a blue ribbon in the bake-off!" The Chief stated.
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen." Keswick, and then whispers to Kitty. "His pies taste like sh-sh-sh-shoes."
Then Dudley hears the voice again.
"I see you are the same crazy bastard, as you were in Vorkuta. Huh Dudley." The voice said with a small laugh. Dudley sees the figure again but it disappears. Dudley just dismissed it.
(We have a transition to Dudley, The Chief, Kitty and Keswick at the county fair. With a rendition of "Entrance of the Gladiators" plays)
Dudley is shown, pulling Chief and his pies in a Radio Flyer-esque wagon. "Ah, you were right, Chief! I'm feeling better already. Good luck in the contest." Dudley said.
(Everyone walks into the Pavilion of Pie tent. But then Dudley's bone phone rings again.)
"Hellooo." Dudley answered, only to hear a bell ring.
"Ghost Dog, you're an angry pirate... pillaging everything you see."
"Okaaay. Can I be a handsome one? Dudley asked.
"Sure you're drop dead handsome... NOW PIPE DOWN AND PILLAGE!" Snaptrap ordered.
Dudley then puts on hat and eye patch. "AARGH! YO-HO-HO! AAARRRRR-HI-GEE-GEE!" Dudley said.
(Dudley then grabs a wooden pole supporting tent, causing it to collapse, and brandishes it like a lance, wreaking havoc in the process.)
"Yo-ho me hearties!" Pirate Dudley said, while flying through the air.
(Then he accidentally launches himself onto the Ferris wheel controls, causing it to spin out of control and roll into the roller coaster, destroying it. The roller coaster cars land on the high striker, ringing its bell and snapping Dudley out of his trance.)
"That's it, Agent Ghost Dog! You destroyed my car, my pies, T.U.F.F. HQ.. and the country fair! I'm sorry son, but you've given me no choice. You're fired." The Chief ordered.
(Dudley whimpers, and howls; Snaptrap observes him from a distance with binoculars.)
"Yippee! My plan worked! Agent Ghost Dog is out of my life and I am free to wreak havoc on Petropolis. Fire up the robot Dr. Purple!" Snaptrap ordered. Ollie then gives a thumbs up.
(We gave transition to sunset outside T.U.F.F. headquarters. Dudley is with Kitty at bus stop.)
Dudley is shown holding briefcases. "I can't believe this is happening to me Kitty. I'm not happy without T.U.F.F. If I can't be a secret agent for here, I'm gonna live out the rest of my days in solitude." He said, with a dramatic sad face
(Then the bus arrives)
"All aboard for Solitude." The Driver said, while a violin plays depressing music.
"Goodbye Kitty." Dudley said.
"Goodbye Dudley.. and for what it's worth I did think you were handsome." Kitty stated. They both hugged and then Dudley boards the bus, teary eyed the whole time. The bus then takes off.
(Bus's inside.)
Dudley is shown in the bus. It was empty and lone, except for him and the driver, but then he heard the voice again.
"You really screwed up that time. Did you not my friend?" The wolf figure said and asked, while sitting next to him.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Dudley asked the figure.
"My friend do you not remember me? I mean we escaped Vorkuta years ago. Remember?" The wolf asked.
Dudley squinted his eyes, trying to remember. Then it clicked and he gasped in remembrance.
"Reznov?" Dudley asked.
(We cut to Kitty at her desk in T.U.F.F. headquarters)
"Agent Katswell, you better clean out Agent Puppy's desk. He was a great agent.. too bad he was also a woodpecker, a pretty princess and a handsome pirate." The Chief said, while having his monitor/robot hand Kitty a box.
(Kitty starts to clean out Dudley's desk, and looks at framed picture of the two together.)
Kitty then sighed and said. "Oh Dudley, you're crazy, handsome, and a amazing agent, but you're not that crazy. You're my partner. Well I'm gonna figure out what's really going on. Wait a minute." She said, and then checks Dudley's computer. "An e-mail from om?" She opens the video, and then closes it immediately. And gasps. "Dudley was hypnotized by Snaptrap! I've gotta find him." Kitty stated.
(We cut to a bearded Dudley playing the harmonica, and seems to be talking to thin air. But Kitty manages to find him, and talks through window.)
"Dudley!" Kitty exclaimed.
"Kitty, is that you? It's strange to see a familiar face after living in solitude for so long." Dudley stated.
Kitty then narrows her eyes. "It's been twenty minutes and you're in a crowded coffee shop... Is that a real beard?" Kitty asked.
Dudley then pulls beard off. "Can't I be dramatic? And, actually it came with my latte.. with a cappuccino you get a mustache." Dudley asked and stated.
(The we show a gag of a frog with mustache.)
"Listen Dudley, I've figured out what's happened to you. You've been hypnotized by Snaptrap." Kitty said, but then a bell rings.
"I'm a woodpecker princess pirate! Hi-gee-gee!" Dudley stated, but then the bell rings again. Dudley returns to normal.
"That's it! You go crazy whenever you hear a bell. We've gotta get you back to T.U.F.F. so Keswick can unhypnotize you." Kitty said, but then Snaptrap's robot emerges. "Oh no, it's Snaptrap! Changes of plans. C'mon." Kitty ordered.
"But I'm still hypnotized and I could go crazy at any minute." Dudley complained.
"That's what I'm counting on." Kitty said.
"Ok. Come one Reznov your with me." Dudley said, while pulling his mask over his face. Kitty looked on, confused but dismissed it. For now.
(We have a smooth transition to Dudley and Kitty driving off in the T.U.F.F. mobile. Dudley then ejects from the car with the jetpack seat.)
(Snaptrap and co. are shown, inside the robot, and eating takeout food from Taco Town.)
"These tacos are delicious! I'd go back to that place again if we hadn't accidentally crushed it." Snaptrap stated.
(Ghost Dog lands inside robot, still wearing his beard.)
"Hey look, it's Santa wearing a mask! Can I have a pony this year?" Larry said and asked.
"It's former Agent Ghost Dog, sporting a ruff n' tumble grunge look!" Snaptrap said.
"That's right Snaptrap! And now it's time for a taste of your own crazy medicine!" Dudley replied, bodily.
Snaptrap's cellphone rings. "Helloo?" He answered. Then he hands over to Ghost Dog. "It's for you." Ghost Dog grabs it and then a bell rings.
"Ghost Dog, you are a karate chopping super dog!" Kitty stated, via the phone.
"Hhhhiiiii-gee-gee!" Dudley said, hypnotized voice.
(Ollie, Snaptrap, Larry and Francisco scream in fear. As Dudley karate chops and beats them up - plunging Larry into a shark tank. Kitty then rings the bell again.)
"Sneeze button!" Ghost said and then presses the button. Snaptrap is ejected through the robot's nostrils and onto the pavement. Kitty and Ghost Dog then strike a pose over the dizzy Snaptrap.)
(The photo is used to transition to next scene, by the means of a picture frame, Kitty is at her cubicle in TUFF headquarters looking at the new picture.)
"Good news, Agent Katswell. I s-s-successfully unhypnotized Agent Puppy." Keswick said, while walking towards her with Dudley and The Chief.
"Of course, after being in isolation for so long, he'll need some time to re-integrate into society." The Chief stated.
"He was in a crowded coffee shop for twenty minutes!" Kitty stated, annoyed.
"Thanks for believing in me, Kitty! I missed you so much!" Dudley said, teary-eyed, and hugs Kitty. Much to her delight.
"It was only twenty.. ohhh, I missed you too." Kitty said, while embracing Dudley.
"Come on! I baked some new pies to celebrate Agent Puppy's return" The Chief stated.
"Aah, gee thanks. Ooh, look at the time I need to delete that hypnotizing e-mail from Agent P-Puppy's computer." Keswick said, and then shows up at Dudley's computer typing, and wipes sweat from his forehead. "Woo, dodged a bullet there."
"Careful Keswick." Dudley warned him.
"No worries Agent Puppy, my mind is too powerful to succumb to hypnosis." Keswick then plays the video.
(We cut to Kitty, Dudley and The Chief. The Chief is attempting to eat his horrible tasting pie in his office.)
(But then Keswick breaks in riding a jackhammer)
"I'm a pretty pirate princess who's late for woodpecker ball! Hi-gee-gee!" Keswick stated.
(The episode/chapter is supposed to end there. But not today.)
(It was a few hours later. Keswick got unhypnotized and the four were back in The Chief's office trying his new batch of horrible pies. The three sat there annoyed, and sick of these pies. Dudley had enough when the new batch came in.)
"I would love to try some more of your 'lovely' pies, Chief but I got to catch up with a old friend of mine at my cubical." Dudley stated while getting up from his seat.
"Which friend would that be, Dudley?" Kitty asked, suspicious.
"A old friend, Kitty." Dudley answered.
"What's this friends name?" Keswick asked.
"Viktor Reznov." Dudley said. "Lets go chat, Viktor." Dudley said, while waving his hand to someone, as if they were in the room and opens the door. This confused the three, they thought he thought that someone was in the room.
"That's strange." Keswick stated.
"Yeah I know. When I was the coffee shop, he was talking to himself, he then said 'Reznov your with me' before we attacked Snaptrap's robot." Kitty explained.
"And, the weird thing is. I think I heard that name before." The Chief said, and then began jumping on his key board in order to type. After a few seconds he started talking. "Found it, lets see. Viktor Reznov was a Sergeant of the red army for Russia in WWII. He was there at the top of the Reichstag in Berlin. They say he was one of the reasons why the Russians won the battle, he along with his best friend Private Dimitri Perenko and who was also the third flag carrier had planted the flag on top of the Reichstag, after getting shot almost point blank range, and having Reznov save him. Months later they were apart of some Russian op, but Dimitri was killed, and Reznov was captured and sent to Vorkuta, due to suppose treason. A long time later there was a prison riot and break in Vorkuta. All the prisoners were either killed or captured, except for one. Reznov sacrificed himself so that the prisoner could escape." The Chief told them and explained. Much to there surprise and shock.
"But that leaves two question still unanswered." Kitty stated, looking at a surprised and shocked Keswick and Chief. "Did Dudley know him? And, if so how?" Kitty asked.
"I don't know Kitty. Lets call the President. He should know." The Chief said, and then used the monitor/robot to call, after a few seconds the President picked up.
"Ah Chief, Keswick, and Ms. Katswell. For what do I owe for the pleasure of you three calling?" The President asked, now just finishing some documents and handing them to someone off screen.
"Actually, Mr. President, we have a question that we would like to ask." The Chief told him.
"Ask away lad." The President replied, while taking a sip of coffee.
"Well we were wondering, did Agent Ghost Dog a man by the name of Viktor Reznov? And, if so how?" The Chief questioned. After he asked that the president had done a spit take and had a shocked look on his face.
"How'd you know about him and Ghost Dog?" President asked.
"Well Agent Ghost Dog was hypnotized today by one of our villains today, and he started talking about him and as if he was talking to him." The Chief explained, and only for the three to receive a annoyed, shocked, and upset look from the president.
"DAMMIT" The President yelled, and startling the three agents in the process. "I thought we beat this thing along time ago. I'm sending a few of my people over there ASAP, keep Ghost Dog there at T.U.F.F until they get there. When they say challenge word Ice Pick, countersign is Phoenix. Understand" The President ordered.
"What's going on sir?" Kitty asked.
"Something that should've been permanently dealt with years ago Ms. Katswell. My guys should be there in a hour or two. Remember keep Ghost Dog there." The President ordered, and with that he had discounted the call. Leaving the three agents stunned, confused, and worried.
"What's going on Chief?" Keswick questioned, staring to worry now. All the while The Chief hopped on the ledge of his window that that separated his room and the agents cubical's. He looked out and at Dudley, only to see him laughing and talking, as if someone was there and replied.
"I don't know Keswick, but were about to find out." Chief stated, with a sigh.
(1 hour later. Give or take a few minutes.)
The three agents stood in the Chief office, waiting for the three of the presidents people to show up. Luckily the Chief had at least an hours work to do and gave it to Dudley. Now they didn't have to wait long, because on the Chief's monitor, which showed the front of the building, shown as three figures they had never seen before. One was an Eagle, with actual hands, he was bald, of course and wore black tinted sunglasses. The one to his left was a different looking German shepherd, wearing a blue suit. And the one to his left of the eagle was a greyhound wearing a different type of army outfit and a bandanna.
The three looked around and the Eagle had found a camera that was on the wall. He then walked up to it.
"Ice Pick." He stated. And, with that The Chief replied, via the console on his desk, that was also connected to the one outside.
"Phoenix." He replied, and with that he had opened the door and the three walked in. They could see them walk out the elevator, try and succeed at sneaking past Dudley, got to the door, opened it, walked in, shut it, and looked at the three T.U.F.F Agents.
"Who's in charge here." The eagle had asked.
"I am. I'm Chief Herbert Dumbrowski, but call me Chief. This is T.U.F.F's top scientist Keswick, and tied for best agent Kitty Katswell. Who are you?" The Chief introduced and asked.
"CIA Jason Hudson(eagle), SOG Frank Woods(greyhound), and CIA/SOG Alex Mason(German shepherd). Now explain to me how Agent Ghost Dog remembered Viktor Reznov?" Hudson asked, as he and the other two sat down.
"He was hypnotized by one of the villains in Petropolis, after that he started talking as if Reznov was next to him." The Chief explained.
"Hmm. Damn it, I thought we took care of this in Washington." Hudson said with a sigh.
"What's going on. How does Dudley know Viktor Reznov?" Kitty questioned, nervous.
"Have any of you ever heard of Operation 40?" Mason asked.
"Yeah it was the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro in Cuba. A small team of Americans were got there and killed him. But it turns out the one they killed was a double. They escaped, but one was captured." Chief answered
"Well that 'one' is sitting outside this room right." Woods told them, also speaking up the first time they've been there.
"WHAT?" The three T.U.F.F Agents asked, yelled in shock.
"There's not much to say. We got in, fought to the compound, made to Castro's room, I was the shield and Ghost Dog took the shot, he shot the double square in the forehead, and we fought our way out, as Mason gave us cover from the plane. The airway was blocked off by trucks so Ghost Dog left the plane, used a spare ZPU, cleared the runway, got captured, was sent to Vorkuta, and broke out months later." Woods explained. Shocking Kitty, Keswick, and Chief.
"But why does Dudley think he sees Reznov." Kitty questioned, coming out from her shock.
"It was a dramatic time for Ghost Dog. Reznov made him think that he had no friends or allies besides him. And, we believe there is another reason." Mason explained. Everyone waited for a minute or two before Chief spoke up.
"You gonna tell us the other reason or do have to guess?" Chief asked.
"Oh. Well you see two Russians named Kravchenko and Dragovich and a German named Steiner thought that they could brainwash or control Ghost Dog by using numbers in order for him to become a sleeper cell, help unleash a toxic nerve gas across the U.S, and try to assassinate the president of that time. But Reznov interrupted the process and made Dudley want to kill Kravchenko, Dragovich, and Steiner. Along the way after the break out and death of Reznov his subconscious made him think Reznov was with him on every mission. But after some unfortunate torture methods and killing Dragovich he went away. That is until now." Hudson explained to them.
The three sat there in shocked silence, that was until Kitty asked.
"What types of 'unfortunate torture methods'?" Kitty questioned.
"Just some 'minor' shock therapy, if you will." Mason answered, using air quote marks. Kitty didn't trust or believe the answer, but went along with them.
"Ok. Now that we have that out of the way, how we fix it?" Chief asked.
"Well there are a few ways, none of them are pretty." Hudson replied. "He could go through something far worse dramatic, we could have him go through more shock therapy, or we could knock him out and hope he forgets him." Hudson told them. Much to there un-comfortableness.
"Is there any other way?" Kitty asked, hoping for better news.
"Well unless you have a 'forget me' ray or whatever, no those are our only options." Mason told them. Kitty and Chief then looked towards Keswick, who had a look of pride on his face.
"Keswick, you have one right?" Chief questioned, his top scientist.
"Of course Chief. All we need to do is get Agent P-Pu-Puppy in the seat, asleep or knocked out and I can b-be-begin the process. If we want erase his whole day it'll take an hour." Keswick told and informed them.
"Is this fine with everybody?" The Chief questioned them. Everyone gave a nod, but Kitty seemed hesitant but nodded anyway. "Ok, good. Agent Katswell as the only Agent I know to have successfully knock handout I'm sending you in to do so." The Chief ordered. And, with that Kitty walked and was ready to get the old Dudley back. She walked towards his cubical, with him unaware of her presence and seemingly talking to Reznov in the process.
"Your feline friend is coming towards us my friend." 'Reznov' told him, while leaning again the wall of Dudley's cubical.
"I know Reznov. I also know Hudson, Woods, and Mason are here. The question is why?" Dudley asked himself and 'Reznov'. He then finished the report Chief had given him and turned around to face Kitty.
"Hey Kitty. What's up?" He asked as he faced her. By the time he asked she was already next to him.
"Sorry Dudley." She stated as she pinched a specific spot on his neck, knocking him out. She then gave a thumbs up towards the window. Then the scientist, two agents, soldiers, and soldier/spy had walked out and towards them. Woods and Mason had carried Dudley while Keswick lead and the rest followed.
(Keswick's lab. Minutes later.)
The five stood in front of the machine, as Dudley was knocked out and sitting in the chair, with Keswick at the control panel, getting the controls together.
"Ok, now I think I got it. When I press this button Agent Puppy should for get this day ever happened. The machine should keep him in a coma induced trance until this whole day is erased, including the memory of Viktor Reznov, or at least keep it locked up. Any questions?" Keswick asked, to make sure no one had any doubts, only for everyone to shake there heads in a 'no' fashion.
And, with that Keswick had pushed the button, the machine had acted up, and started to delete the memory of today, successfully locking up the memory of Reznov along with it. On the side of the machine, had a screen that showed everything Dudley had done that day, from his POV. After an hour the screen and the machine had died down, indicating that it was a success. Everyone than heard a groan and ran to Dudley, only to find him waking up.
"Uh, guys. A few questions. Why am I hooked up to a machine, why am I drawing a blank, and why are Hudson, Woods, and Mason here?" Dudley questioned, while Keswick unhooked him.
"Uh, well. You got knocked out in a fight today, and this machine was able to wake you up, but couldn't let you remember. And, the reason why were here is because the President ordered us to come check on you." Hudson explained.
"Ok. Well that's obviously a pile of bullshit, but I can't remember anything, so I'll go along with it for now." Dudley replied, while getting up from the chair, and felling a little bit dizzy.
"You ok Ghost Dog." Woods asked.
"Yeah. Just dizzy, but I'll be fine." Dudley replied.
"Good. Well the three of us have got to go back to Washington. Take care of your self Ghost Dog." Mason told him. And, with that the three had left. Leaving the four T.U.F.F Agents alone.
"Well, I think I'm going to t-tu-turn in. Goodnight everyone." Keswick stated and left, leaving the three alone.
"Yeah me too. Are you fit to drive Agent Puppy?" Chief asked him.
"Yeah, I think so." Dudley replied.
"Ok, good. Goodnight you two." And, with that said The Chief had left, leaving the two alone.
"Kitty, I have no clue what happened today. But uh, thanks for being by my side, I think." Dudley said, confusion hinted in his voice.
"No problem Dudley." Kitty replied.
"Ok, well goodnight Kitty." Dudley said, and with that he left, leaving her alone, feeling a little bit guilty. I mean what's more important? The memory of your friend/best friend, who also sacrificed his life for you? Or, your sanity? Kitty had asked herself this, but dismissed it. And, with that she left. All four of them thinking and dreaming of the events ahead.
"The End. For Now.
