Perry headed back towards Major Monogram's office. When he got there, he saw that the door was ajar. He reached to push it open when he heard Carl's voice from inside. "…but are you going to tell Agent P?"

Perry stepped back in surprise.

"No," Major Monogram's voice replied. "We can't tell him. He can't know anything about this or it'll throw him off."

"Sir, I really think he can handle this."

"Not this, Carl. He can't know about this. I've been trying to help him forget his past but he was in here just a few minutes ago and he told me that he still remembers everything about ARCHANGEL."

Perry let out a muted gasp at the mention of his former organisation. He had avoided talking about, mentioning, or thinking about the organisation for five years, and just the mention of its name brought back memories, both good and bad.

"Surely we don't want him to forget everything about ARCHANGEL?" Carl protested.

"We do when there's a chance he still has some loyalty towards them."

Perry felt a lump rise in his throat. Major Monogram really believed that Perry still had any kind of loyalty towards the people who abused him for years and turned him into a living weapon?

"Sir, I think you're-."

"I can't take any risks, Carl," Major Monogram interrupted. "Not now, when he's our best agent. Imagine what would happen if it turns out that Agent P still does have loyalty to ARCHANGEL."

"There's no proof that he does."

"That's because ARCHANGEL have been off-grid for five years."

There was a pause. "Have you told Agent P that you knew about ARCHANGEL before you found him?"

Perry's hands covered his mouth in shock. When Monty had found him in the woods, Perry had told Major Monogram everything he knew about ARCHANGEL's day-to-day running, though nothing about the experiences Perry himself had had. The major had told Perry that he hadn't known anything about ARCHANGEL. Had Major Monogram…lied to him?

"No I haven't, and I'd like to keep it that way. Like I said, we really can't afford to have him unfocused at the moment. Not when we're so close to finally bringing down LOVEMUFFIN."

"Sir, what if LOVEMUFFIN and ARCHANGEL decide to work together?"

"They won't."

"How can you be so confident about that, sir?"

"Simple, Carl. The two leaders hate each other."

"I guess that makes sense," Carl admitted. "But how do you know that?"

"Kane Kennedy told me."

"What does Kane have to do with anything?"

"The leader of ARCHANGEL is called Kirk Kennedy," Major Monogram said patiently.

Carl apparently realised at the same time as Perry. "Kane is related to Kirk?"

Perry felt a stab of nausea hit his stomach. He turned away and leant against the wall by the side of the door frame, closing his eyes. He wasn't sure how many more surprise revelations he would be able to stand.

"I believe Kane is Kirk's older brother," explained Major Monogram. "That's where I get most of my information about Kirk from. Kane doesn't know much about ARCHANGEL but he does know Kirk. He's provided lots of useful information."

Perry knew he had heard enough. He quickly left the corridor and ran all the way back down to his office, where he collapsed into his chair and tried to make sense of the information he had just overheard.

One: Major Monogram still thinks I'm loyal in some capacity to ARCHANGEL when they are responsible for five years of agony for me.

Two: Major Monogram lied to me about the fact that he didn't know anything about ARCHANGEL when I first came to him five years ago.

Three: Kane Kennedy is the older brother of ARCHANGEL's leader and, having worked with them for equal amounts of time, I didn't realise.

To calm himself down, Perry put on his headphones and turned the radio back on again. The final bars of the song Summer Belongs To You were playing.

"For the folks who have just joined us, that was Summer Belongs To You, by PFT," said his girlfriend's chirpy voice. "But then again, what song about summer isn't sung by PFT?"

Perry let out a chuckle, despite himself.

"That, I'm afraid, concludes my program for today. It is now seven pm and it's time for everyone to go home, including me. If my boyfriend is listening, I'll see you at your house later."

Perry chuckled again.

"This is your pal Pansy signing off for now. Goodnight."

Her usual jingle played, and then the static started. Perry took off his headphones and lay them on the desk. Glancing at the clock, Perry decided to leave early. He punched out with his card and took the air tube back home.

He still lived with the Flynn-Fletchers. Linda and Lawrence were unaware of his secret identity but the kids knew. Candace had actually moved out to go to university last year but Phineas and Ferb, who were only fourteen years old, were always very happy to see Perry and hear about life fighting crime.

When he got home, the door was locked, so that must have meant that the Flynn-Fletchers were still out. Linda and Lawrence were most likely still at work, and Perry suspected that the boys were over at Buford or Isabella's house, as they often were nowadays.

He entered the house through the pet door and spotted his girlfriend just going into the living room.

"Pansy!" called Perry.

Pansy turned round and spotted Perry. "Hey, welcome home!"

Pansy and Perry kissed briefly. "How was your day?" Perry asked, as he always did. "I heard a bit of your show."

"Which bit?"

Perry grabbed his girlfriend's hands and twirled her round the room, singing, "The days are longer, the nights are shorter, the sun is shining, it's noticeably warmer!"

"Oh, that bit," Pansy laughed. "Sorry, I can't stay long. I just wanted to make sure your day was okay."

Perry's face fell as he remembered the conversation he had overheard between Major Monogram and Carl, but he forced a smile. "Just like any other day, really."

Pansy didn't look convinced but she nodded. "Okay, well, I have to go. I'm meeting my brother for dinner."

"Okay. Say hi to him from me."

"Will do."

Patsy picked up her bag and headed back out through the pet door. Perry watched her go, smiling. He felt lucky to have her. Sometimes she reminded him of-

No, he told himself. Don't think about her. Pansy is your present and possibly your future. Focus on her.

But try as he might he couldn't focus on Pansy. All he could think about was the horrible feeling in his stomach that something big was about to happen…

…

Dun duN DUUUN! Poor Perry :(
