A/n: Well enough people wanted me to write another chapter, which means here's the second chapter of Agent Patrick Star. This is my Christmas gift to all my faithful and patient readers.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Patrick crept slowly down an alleyway between two buildings, as he followed his next suspect in his search for an enemy spy; Mr Krabs. The owner of the Krusty Krab was several feet ahead of him, whistling a tune and all the while looking as harmless as could be. But Patrick knew better than to underestimate the crab, since he had followed the restaurant owner for the last several days and thus knew what Mr Krabs was up to in his own free time.
He was an Underground Fighter.
Every other day once the Krusty Krab had closed for the day, Mr Krabs headed into the seedier part of Bikini Bottom to compete in these fights for monetary gain. Apparently the considerable income that his restaurant made wasn't enough for the greedy crab, and so he had resorted to fighting for profit.
Clang!
Mr Krabs turned around sharply as he heard the sound of something fall to the ground behind him, which was hard to see as it was rather late at night. "Who goes there?" asked Mr Krabs raising his claws defensively, as he slowly inched himself forward in preparation of a fight. After a couple of feet he reached a trashcan and peered cautiously inside, only to relax almost immediately once he caught sight of the person sleeping without a care in the world.
"Patrick!" bellowed Mr Krabs as he tried to mask his relief, it was only his fry cook's idiot friend. The star fish bolted awake with a gasp and leaped upward, narrowly avoiding hitting Mr Krabs who jumped back in surprise. Patrick bleary rubbed his eyes as he gazed at Mr Krabs, "What's up?" asked Patrick as if he had just awoke from a long slumber. "What are you doing in a trashcan?" asked Mr Krabs with forced patience, Patrick blinked a couple of times and looked at his surroundings as if seeing them for the first time before looking back at Mr Krabs. Patrick simply shrugged and sound that sounded like 'I don't know', Mr Krabs simply huffed in frustration before turning around and continued the path he had been taking previously.
He completely missed the calculative gleam in Patrick's eye.
-A Couple of Days Later-
Spongebob ran laughing through Goo Lagoon with his best friend Patrick Star not far behind, soon they passed by Larry the Lobster who was lifting weights with one hand. Once Patrick was within arms reach of Larry time seemed to slow to a crawl, and he took a piece of paper from his shorts' pockets and placed it in Larry's unoccupied hand. Larry didn't even glance at the paper before quickly placing it into his own pocket, the whole transaction lasted only a second.
The two glanced at each other out of the corner of their eye's and nodded briefly, time sped back up the next moment and the two soon passed by one another.
