Chapter 1
Hey guys I have another story to put up. I have been thinking about this story for about two days and decided to go ahead and type the first chapter to see if people like it so I hope you guys enjoy. This is a Hey Arnold story and I do not own the characters or the show, also the some of the characters have never met each other so it will be a little OOC bare with me.
In a building in California sat two agents, one was a black man with a faded box cut haircut while the other was a blonde man with a weird shaped head. They were sitting in an office while their boss was looking over some paperwork and typing something on his computer. He looked at the two men and stood up and walked over to the window.
"You two are the best in this agency and I really do hate to see you guys leave but the CIA has asked for you guys specifically after reading your files. Agent Shortman your multilanguage expertise and way with tech is unmatched and they think it will help them on more of their tougher missions. Agent Johansen you are great with negotiations and a real smooth talked, topped with your driving skill will make for a great addition to their company. You guys have brought us some great cases and some great solutions to those cases and from me and all of the company we appreciate you guys "the boss replied.
"Thank you sir, you know we loved working here with everyone but this is our chance to get out and see the world and meet new people" Arnold replied.
"Yeah and use our skills to really do some good in the world instead of just our city" Gerald replied.
"I know, you guys have your flight tickets and all the information and will meet your escort at the airport. The north part of the country can get cold so I hope you guys are ready for that" the boss replied.
"I'm sure it will be fine sir, we should head out and get packed for our flight to Washington" Arnold replied standing up.
"It has been a pleasure working with you gentlemen and stay safe out there. The rest of the world can be a crazy place from what soldiers have told me" the boss replied shaking Arnold's hand
"We aren't worried, we can take care of ourselves pretty well sir" Gerald replied shaking his hand as well.
"I know, Godspeed you guys" the boss replied as they walked out the door.
"Can you believe this man? CIA agents at our age? Never in a million did I think it would happen" Gerald replied.
"Believe it buddy, we're together on this even if they put us in different departments. I trust you with my life and we'll become top agents" Arnold replied.
"Oh yeah we will, we get to see the world now for free really even if it is on a mission" Gerald replied.
"Yeah, I need to go home and pack and settle some expenses but I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow around 8:30 "Arnold replied walking to his car.
"Right see you then" Gerald replied hopping into his car. The next morning at around 8 o'clock Arnold was standing at the terminal after picking up his information and checking in. He looked over a file he was given explaining what the CIA expects and what his main job will entitle once he is through with training. "Hey man, you're here early" Gerald replied meeting up with Arnold.
"Yeah this is California, you know how long it takes to get through security" Arnold replied.
"Well we should be getting to the loading door for the plane, we got a whole country to fly across. Good thing I brought my whole Jazz playlist on my phone so I can sleep the whole way" Gerald replied.
"I also brought music and my laptop for the trip" Arnold replied as he grabbed his suitcase and duffle bag and walked with Gerald to the door when their flight was called. It took about a whole day to get to Washington D.C. and when they got their they were extremely jetlagged and hungry. After going through customs and bag checks they were allowed to walk into the lobby to look for their informant.
"How do we know which person here is our informant?" Gerald replied
"Beats me, there are a couple of people here in suits but there are two people over there in the sunglasses. I can see the clear earpiece that might be them" Arnold replied walking up to them.
"Agent Shortman and Agent Gerald from California I presume?" One of them asked, he was a lanky man who was taller than both of them. The other man was big and he clearly had muscle but he was also a little big in the belly area.
"That's us and you are?" Arnold asked.
"Howard but I go by Agent Stinky and this is Agent Harold, we were told to drive you guy to meet our boss and get you guys settled in" Stinky replied.
"Great lead the way then, I hope we get to rest before any training or work" Gerald replied.
"You'll be pretty much meeting with the boss today to settle your living arrangements and he'll give you the day to rest up" Stinky replied.
"Works for us" Arnold replied as they followed Harold and Stinky our to a black car and placed their things in the trunk getting into the backseat. The windows were tinted and it was a nondescript car to keep everything quiet. They drove for about and hour and then arrived at a tall building with many floors. Stinky and Harold walked in and showed the guards their badges and explained who Arnold and Gerald were since they had no idea yet.
"It's all pretty secure here and you'll get your key cards and IDs when you start. The keycards will get you into some levels of the building while other areas are higher authorization only" Stinky replied using his keycard for the elevator and they hopped in and rode to the top floor. When they got off the elevator they were escorted through a room full of cubicles with people moving around and working on different projects. The walked up to an office door and knocked and opened the door after being told to come in./p
"Welcome to Washington D.C. boys, I'm Director Johnson and I have read your wonderful files and think you two will really be a change for the the whole building" a tall man replied shaking both their hands.
"We're happy to have this opportunity to really use our skills for good and help the country and the world" Arnold replied
"Glad to hear it, we have hotel rooms set up for you two until we get you permanent residences but everything is paid for you have some of the best rooms we could get. I have some files here for you guys to read and then Agent Stinky will drop you off at the hotel and pick you up for tomorrow" the director replied handing them each individual files.
"Thank you sir, we'll be sure to look over them when we settle in" Gerald replied.
"Good, see you guys bright and early tomorrow you two and I look forward to working with you" the director replied watching as they left. After they got to the hotel they settled in, grabbed food and read through their files. The next day they woke up early and dressed into their suits and met Stinky outside and rode to the building. The first three months or so was mostly training and getting introduced to the rest of the agents of their divisions. Arnold was placed into the language and tech division while Gerald was placed into negotiations and also the tech division.
"Agent Shortman I need to see you in my office" the director replied on the phone.
"On my way sir" Arnold replied getting up from his desk and walking to the elevator riding up to his boss's office, he knocked once and entered when told.
"There you are Shortman, I want you meet a friend of mine who works for the international division" the director replied.
"Director Peterson, I am in charge of affairs that happen outside the country that could be affecting the country secretly. I hear you speak a couple of different languages including Russian which is very good seeing as I have a mission that needs someone with your skills" Peterson replied.
"A mission dealing with Russia? What kind of mission?" Arnold asked.
"I have a folder here that explains the mission right here and I hope you can work with others because you will be having a partner on this mission" Director Peterson replied.
"I can work with anyone as long as their intentions are good" Arnold replied.
"Great, read the file and meet at the building specified on the file for the briefing of your mission and to meet your partner for this mission. Now if you'll excuse me I have some other people to discuss some things with. Good day gentlemen" Peterson replied leaving.
"You're dismissed Agent Shortman, hope your mission goes well. Russia can be a pain when the mission covers their criminal affairs so make sure you brush up on you gun and combat skills" the director replied
"Yes sir" Arnold replied leaving the room and opening the file, "huh a gun and drug ring infiltration mission? Interesting" Arnold replied reading the folder.
"Hey man, what did the director want?" Gerald asked at Arnold's desk.
"A mission, they need my Russian language skills" Arnold replied.
"Good thing you learned that while being bored" Gerald replied
"Yeah and I will be having a partner on this one and it isn't you" Arnold replied.
"This is a good opportunity for you man, forget me while you're doing this mission so you can stay focused" Gerald replied.
"Thanks man for being understanding" Arnold replied leaving after cleaning up his desk to go get some rest before his mission briefing.
I hope you like the story, more action will be coming to later chapters but I will be using some references form the movie Triple X since they fit the scenario. The mission is kind of like the start of that but it isn't going to be the nuclear weapon kind of mission unless I decided to make that the final complication who knows. Anyway I will posting the next chapter pretty soon so be ready.
