Agent Gray, Red with Love

Shadow Disses ACME

  He was in a red lit room, standing on a bamboo rug, the face of an ancient Japanese demon to his right, his roommates to his left, and an old dude in front of him. 

  But this wasn't just any old dude... that was Shadowsan.

  Shadowsan dramatically wrapped a large black robe over his arms and shoulders. Graham straightened. The ninja looked him straight in the eyes, narrowing them slightly. 

  "Inside my coat is a single dollar bill..." Shadowsan began. Graham could sense that his past self had heard the same speech over and over again, but it was no less mesmerizing. He felt himself tremble in his boots slightly. He hoped no one noticed. 

  Why was he trembling? No clue.

  In his defense however, Shadowsan was pretty scary. 

  Also worth noting, Graham had some sweet boots on! Like, those babies were ACME shades level epic. Why didn't he always get these types of boots?

  Hmph. He felt robbed.

  Robbed...

  Wait—

  Something odd happened to Graham that had never happened before. A voice started speaking in his head. It sounded just like him, but younger. 

  Graham had always had random ideas pop into his head during his de ja vu memory returns, but never like this.

  Okay Crackle, he heard the voice say to himself, you can do this. Grab the authentic, normal, run of the mill dollar bill. Simple! You've done this a million times in Sydney, and you've been practicing for this the entire year! Besides, you'll never hear the end of it from BlackSheep if you goof this up.

  BlackSheep again. Shadowsan again. He figured this was probably V.I.L.E. related again. Great, they just loved popping up everywhere, didn't they?

  At the moment he was working with the theory that Carmen had defected from V.I.L.E., proceeded to start up a rival villain gang with Shadowsan, which he was apart of before she left him in the dust with amnesia. So far, stuff seemed to check out. 

  "The coat has many pockets. Find the bill before time is up," the ninja took out a 2:00 minute stop watch, "And you will pass. Your time starts *beep* now."

  Graham dug his toe into the ground to give himself a good foundation. Narrowing his eyes, he briefly scanned for any weak points in Shadowsan's coat. First thing he saw was the large sleeves.

  Using his toe as a support to fling off of, he lunged towards Shadowsan putting his other foot in ahead of him to stop himself from face-planting, and dug his gloved hands into both sleeves. He sifted around mercilessly in the four seconds he had, but found nothing before Shadowsan moved and his arms were slapped away. 

  Okay, not there.

  With Shadowsan's position change, it gave him a chance to reach into the inner flaps of the coat, but when he did so, he once again came up with nothing. 90 seconds left. No need to panic yet.... Panicking would be bad, especially in front of Shadowsan, and especially in front of BlackSheep.

  And of course Sheena would be a jerk about it too, though he wasn't sure if she'd have a right to be, sense she had ripped the darn coat and cheated.

  He started to groom the sewn in pockets.

   No, no, no, ow! 

  Shadowsan had punched him in the shoulder.
