The War

Chapter 13

Breakfast was consumed rather quickly. Artie spoke up. "Get ready to go to the Warehouse." He announced. "Do we have pings today?" Asked an excited Claudia. Artie nodded and Claudia shouted her praise. "Hallelujah! It has been 4 days without a ping! Finally no more laziness." And she ran off to get her things. Steve smiled and said "someone's on drugs." Pete laughed and Myka shoved the rest of her muffin in her mouth before getting up. "Wow did you guys switch personalities or something?" Steve asked. Pete and Myka looked at each other and smiled before answering at the same time. "Yes!" They laughed with each other and then walked off.

Pete draped an arm around Myka's shoulder and smiled at her. "How does your head feel Mykes?" Pete asked. "What do you mean?" Myka replied. "Do you not remember?" Pete questioned and Myka shrugged her shoulders. "Well my head is kinda throbbing but otherwise I'm fine." Myka said after a moment.

In 20 minutes, every Warehouse agent was ready to go and at the the warehouse. Artie sat at his desk and turned around. "So Claudia and Steve are going to China. There has been reports of people going delirious so you need to see if there's an artifact involved." and Claudia and Steve high dived each other. "Are we A team?" Steve and Claudia asked at the same time. Artie shrugged his shoulders. "Why do I care what team is what? I only want the artifact snagged, bagged, and tagged." He responded. "So what are me and Mykes doing, Artie?" Pete chimed into the conversation. "Oh right you two are going to Baltimore. A series of bank robberies that no one can remember happening." Artie said. All his agents left to go complete their jobs.

"So Jinksy, Myka and Pete are going to be in a hotel room. They might have sex." Claudia said. Steve smiled and nodded. "Hey Claud, when does our flight leave?" Claudia looked at the tickets Artie handed them. "Um at like 2 in the afternoon we have time so don't worry." Claudia replied.

Pete and Myka drove quietly to Baltimore. Myka turned on the radio and listened to some soft jazz. "Myka!" Pete shouted to get her attention. She had been in her own little world just thinking. "Hmmm?" She said while turning to face Pete. "I asked if you need to stop for food or the bathroom." Pete said. "Are you sure it's not you wanting food?" Myka teased. Pete smiled and shook his head. "I need food Mykes. Do you want me to stop?" Pete replied to her snarky comment. "Um I geuss I need to pee but I don't need food." Myka said.

Claudia and Steve were asleep on their plane. Claudia's Farnsworth woke them both up. "Hello Artie." Claudia answered. "Not Artie!" Myka replied. "Oh sorry Myka I thought you were Artie. Anyways, what do you need?" Steve looked to Claudia to see who she was talking to. "Pete and I were just checking up on you guys." Myka said. "Okay well we are tired so we are going to sleep." Steve said. Before they hung up, they heard Pete shout me too through the Farnsworth.
