Hey guys! What's up?
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in submitting ideas, I appreciate it a lot.
Without further adieu, let's get this story going again.
Two weeks later…
"Hey Shelly, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
Michael was sitting at the living room's table, eating while Shelly read a book.
"Do you think we should try and find that Octoling I saw a few days ago?"
"Maybe, do you think she'd be able to give up information?"
"Well, the funny thing is that during the war Captain Cuttlefish actually taught me how to interrogate someone. I think I could get something out of her."
"Really now?" Shelly chuckled. "I'd like to see that."
"What? You don't think I'd be able to do it?"
"No, I just think Randy would fit that role better."
"Oh come on, who was the one that was in a war?"
"True, true."
The two had a moment of light laughter.
"No, but really, do you think we'd even be able to find her? She's probably skipped to the next city by now."
"I don't think you know how big Inkopolis really is, Michael. If she's going by foot she's not going to be to the next city for at least a few more days."
"Right. But where do you think we should look? I doubt she'd be ballsy enough to come here again."
"Don't know. Have you heard about any crimes recently?"
"I heard about that one huge restaurant down near the plaza being stolen from twice."
"She might've done it."
"You really think so?"
"Maybe, if she's running around digging through trash cans trying to find food she'd probably steal from a big restaurant like that one."
"That's reasonable. Well, when I get the time I guess I'll go with Cuttlefish and try and find her."
"I'm going with you."
"Oh, uh, you sure?"
"I can aim a gun, and I have a gun that fires really far. I can help you guys if someone tries and get you from behind."
"Oh, um, alright then. Thank you."
"It's no problem."
The two sat in a silence, neither of them really feeling the need to continue the conversation any further.
Randy burst into the door soon after.
"Hey, Mike, Cuttlefish is here. He wants to talk with you."
Michael looked to Shelly who had looked up from her book. He got up from his chair and went outside, with Randy and Shelly following him. Angela stood outside with Cuttlefish.
"Captain Cuttlefish?"
"Oh, Michael, my boy, there you are!"
"You wanted to talk with me, sir?"
"Oh, yes. Agents 1 and 2 just reported in, they say they've been hearing some rumors going around the plaza. Apparently some youngsters saw a pair of Octolings leaving the back door to a restaurant a couple of weeks before. Have you heard about this?"
"I can't say I have. What else did they say?"
"Well, 1 and 2 said they investigated and found that the restaurant that they were seen leaving had been robbed before."
Michael had a feeling of Déjà vu for a moment.
"Is there anything else they were able to find out?"
"The two were able to link this to a recent robbery of Ammo Knights, but that's all they were able to find."
Michael took a moment before responding.
"Alright. Tell Agents 1 and 2 that I'll be seeing them shortly, and that I'm bringing company."
Michael turned to his friends.
"Ready your weapons guys, it's Octoling season."
