A New Agent. (Rewritten!)

Ch. 31

Grif exits the Red Base, only to find Carolina standing by the door.

"Hey, you. Orange one. Where's the rest of your team?"

"How should I know?"

"You don't report in to each other?"

"Oh yeah. I mean, I get reports."

"You might be the worst soldiers I've ever met."

"Hey! I take offense at that! What do you mean, 'might be?'"

Simmons and Sarge come walking up the river towards them.

"Here they come. Let's move out."
She turns and leaves.

"Hey, guys! Did you find Lopez?"

"Yeah. Donut nailed him into a board. He's staying here."

"I thought Donut was dead."

"Yeah, we really need to stop saying that." Sarge sighed.

"He almost was. But Doc fixed him up, and now they live together. They say hi, by the way. Oh, and they baked us this banana bread."

Cut to a plate holding a loaf of banana bread, with a card reading, 'Hope you like nuts! -Donut & Doc.'

"How nice! I'm gonna have to forget to send them a thank-you card. Hey, Simmons, when you said Donut nailed Lopez to a board..."

"I mean with nails."

"Okay, had to ask."

"No, no, I understand. I-I should have been clearer. It's my fault."

——Blues——

Cut to Tucker and Caboose approaching Carolina.

"Hey, what's the deal? We're leaving already?"
Carolina turns to Tucker.

Washington is seen walking towards the other Warthog in the background.

"That's right. You got a problem with that?"
Epsilon appears next to Carolina.

"Uh, hey, Carolina, why don't you let me handle this? You need to find Tennessee."

——Red base——

Cut to the exterior of Red Base. A pulse shoots into the sky.

"Tucker, what do you want?"

"I wanna know what you found out about Carolina! Is she evil? Is she crazy? Is she crazy-evil?"

"Is she pretty?" Caboose asked.

"Oh, yeah, is she hot? Ohohoh or is he a dude?"

"Guys! I've got more important things to do right now."

"What are you talking about?! You're supposed to be spying on her! She's the enemy, remember?! Us against them!"

"Hey, you don't know anything about her, Tucker! You have no idea what's she's been through!"

"Since when did-"

"Look! Would you guys just get in the fucking car so we can leave already? Thank you."

Epsilon disappears. Tucker and Caboose glance at each other.

——Carolina——

Cut back to Carolina as Epsilon reappears next to her.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing. I need to talk to you."

——Red base——
