I got up for work today, and was a bit excited. We had a possible lead on the case! If that doesn't make someone a little happy, I don't know what does.
I got dressed for work and braided my hair. I even stopped by the Coffee Shop to get a drink while I walked to the Everyday Phoning Facility.
While I paid for my frappucino, my phone buzzed.
I looked at my pocket. I thought, Meh, it can wait a minute, right?
"That will be 10 coins," the barista told me.
"'Kay," I said as I looked in my pocket for change.
My phone buzzed again.
I grabbed some coins and handed them to her. "Here," I said, as I put them in her flippers. "Keep the change."
I ran out and checked my phone.
Director: Teleport to HQ immediately.
I immediately teleported to the HQ, like the message said.
The crew was standing there, staring at the screen with surprise etched onto their faces.
"Guys, I'm super sorry I'm late," I started to say, but then I noticed the huge pile of... Something... on the Command Room table. "I hate to interrupt, but what the heck is that?"
The Director sighed. "Agent, I was just getting to that. We are going to set a trap for whoever is causing all of these kidnappings."
"Oh," I replied, feeling a little stupid.
"Unfortunately, this trap is now needed, as another penguin has been captured. This time, at the Cove."
"Are you serious?" I blurted out. The other agents, like myself, were dumbfounded.
"This is not something I would joke about, agent," the Director told me.
I felt my face turn even redder than my puffle. Boy, I knew how to make an idiot of myself. That one time at that amusement park, Ultimate Adventure, I went on that fast roller coaster and I- wait, that's a story for another time. "Of course, I just can't believe it."
"The trap is to be set in the Forest, agents. You will all patrol the area."
"So that's what the tin can on the table is for!" Rookie exclaimed.
Gary looked highly offended. "It's the Tripatrap 3000. It can catch anyone or anything and track them," Gary explained.
Dot snickered. Oh, Rookie. I'll admit I smiled a little.
"When should we set it up?" Jet Pack Guy asked.
"At 7:00 you will go out to set it up and patrol the area. You will be paired up with partners. G, you will be paired up with Dot. Jet Pack Guy with Rookie, and CC with Emerald," the Director informed us.
I fist pumped, at least in my mind. Emerald was a friend of mine, another great agent. She was a Stealth agent while I was a Tech agent, but she was cool to hang out with. She has dark green feathers, long, dark ebony locks, and this pair of emerald eyes that, like her name, was mesmerizing.
Emerald walked into the room and waved at me. Today, she wore her EPF uniform but held a white hoodie in her flippers. I waved back.
"Agents, you have your instructions. Come up with plans and find out who is behind this. Be resourceful, be remarkable, be ready," the Director said as the screen went black.
We all discussed ideas for about 20 minutes. Then we went home to rest before 7:00 came because we had no idea how long we'd be out. Everyone walked out separately. I was about to leave when I saw Emerald, still sitting at the table. "Coming?" I asked.
"Yeah. Head out, I'll be out in a little bit. Just got some paperwork to look at," she told me.
I nodded and walked out. As soon as I walked into my igloo, I realized something was missing.
"Oh, poo."
The drink I'd bought this morning was still sitting on the counter in the Coffee Shop.
What do you guys think of Emerald? How was the chapter? You earn a cupcake if you made it down here, and you get another cupcake if you review! *hands out cupcakes*
Bai!
