Chapter 3
McFlipper's Perspective
I deemed this too normal. The Cogs weren't even bothering themselves to take over even a couple buildings. I suspected they were looking for blood and probably they were looking for Dr. Gates's blood. And this time, I was right about it. Because a couple minutes after that thought crossed my mind, I heard a loud crash through the roof and all the workers at the agency (counting me) rushed to where it was located and then we saw the office of Dr. Gates. It was all messed up with crumpled paper; his desk and computer monitors all on the floor with the screen broken. We were suddenly surprised that Gates was captured and we all know that the CJ planned it all. Sadly, we couldn't do anything about it. We all then gathered to the conference room to plan something out. We sat there and argued what to do for one straight hour, which was a mess. We finally completed the arguments and then settled to a decision that we have to confront the CJ face-to-face no matter what the price. We got a little shifty about it and arguments started a bit again. But the arguments cooled out after a few moments because we realized there was no other way to get Gates back. We had to do this precisely and if we even choked up on one simple thing; we would all wound up to be screwed. Twilight (who was the female black cat that kissed Gates during the last story) was deciding who would go and try to get Gates out of the CJ's area. I bit my lip nervously as she said this. I knew that Twilight was worried the most and she was literally on the verge of breaking into pieces, but she was definitely in no shape to save Dr. Gates. So I decided to take the life-threatening decision to save him from the CJ. "Look.. I-" I hesitated for a second but carried on after that. "I think I should do the part of saving Dr. Gates because⦠well.. Twilight is my best friend and I want to help her right now as much as I can. We can't just let Twilight do this because she's obviously stricken with shock and she's in no shape to do that part of the mission." Everyone took a moment to think about what I said, and they then realized Twilight should probably not take that part of the mission.
"Actually, I don't think I can even do this mission. It- It's just too much r-right now." she said with a tear or two dropping from her eye. She stood up considerably slow and walked out of the room with no goodbye or anything. I felt really bad for her and for what she had to go through right now and she wanted to see Gates now more than ever. I mean, just think about it. What has Dr. Gates done to deserve this capturing and perhaps torturing after that? And God knows what they were going to do to him. But what I knew was I had to save him as soon as possible. And that's what we planned out for the next few hours: saving Dr. Gates.
