Secret Agent No More

Secret Agent No More.

Chapter 2: A Rude Awakening

'Isn't this just crazy? Major Monogram only just retired when that Roger fellow took over and disbanded the O.W.C.A. What does he think we are, a bunch of wild animals?'

'I can't wait to give this guy a piece of my mind.'

'You can speak human?'

'... Fine, I'll give him a piece of my mind on paper then!'

Perry the Platypus looked around the room at the other O.W.C.A secret agent animals. Every single agent was there, gathered together in the government secret headquarters to receive their newest and possibly final mission.

'Secret agents of the former O.W.C.A! Thank you for joining me today to mark this momentous occasion,' a voice boomed from the speaker. A flicker of light and suddenly there was a strangely familiar man on the main view screen.

Agent P's eyes bulged. Dr. Doofenshmirtz's brother? That was the Roger everyone was talking about?

'I regret to inform you that your agent services are no longer required. You see, my little friends, there is just no place in a civilized world for thinking animals such as yourselves,' as the man spoke, metal plates locked into place over every exit.

'It's a trap!'

'That crazy human!'

'However, before you get all excited, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that you can still be of some use to your country... as EXPERIMENTS!' Roger Doofenshmirtz laughed loudly, hands clasped behind his back.

Perry stared in shock as animals around him began to sway. Some tried to unlatch the exits, but collapsed on the ground. GAS! That crazy human was pumping knockout gas into the room through tiny vents in the ceiling.

Agent P leapt into the air, reaching for his grappling gun, before remembering that all weapons and tools were confiscated when they entered the room. Gravity took hold and forced him to the ground again.

'Oh, you're not going to get away that easily, Perry the Platypus,' Roger chuckled, watching the teal furred mammal spin around to glare at him. The human could see that the gas was doing just what it was designed to do.

On screen, the little platypus struggled to remain awake, but slowly succumbed to the gas. Finally, after all these years, Roger had complete control of the O.W.C.A. Oh the things he would do to these pathetic animals that believed they were as sentient as humans.

His special team of scientists were just waiting in the wings to start their experiments. Yessss... there was much to learn from these creatures. And he had a very special test subject in mind for his newest experiment. And if he didn't survive, there were more where he came from.
