Sanitization Lab 00,001 Sewers

Agent 4's Pov

Yeah, well, even if  you're at rank 200 Profreshinal, I don't think even you could ever make it this far. Have you ever been stuck in a sewer that's indoors, running from an army of sanitized Octolings? Oh, and I forgot to add this to the 'stuck in sewer that's indoors' part. It's actually meant to be 'stuck in a sewer that's indoors fighting a ton of salmonids and Goldies - And when I mean tons, I mean billions. No, seriously! Probably 99 percent of Goldies and Salmonids were down here. Sure, I think that the sewers in The Square was horrible, but 

1. Who puts sewers indoors?!

2. Why do they even have SALMONIDS down here?

3. I thought they were meant to be like, NEAT and TIDY? At least sewers at The Square were better than these!

There's the exit! Finally, after hours, no, days of fighting salmonids, even though I thought a I'd never see the daylight again -

Slimy, scaled hands grabbed me from behind. Or, I should say, fins grabbed me from behind. Actually, I was really lucky (I never thought I'd use that word again!) because I threw a bomb at the last second. Turns out it was just a Cohawk that I hadn't fully covered with ink yet.

I climbed out of the goddamned sewer. I'm actually pretty lucky tha- actually, nevermind. I'm not jinxing myself anymore. Callie and Marie were still standing at the exit, Callie hysterically laughing. Marie said something, and Callie responded half screaming, and the other half speaking gibberish. "MaRiE, dO yOu NoT uNdErStAnD?!! wE'vE aLrEaDy LoSt 7! I wOn'T lEt ThIs HaPpEn AgAiN!"Callie started banging on the glass door. Well, it used to be a glass door. Now it was a metal door due to umm, you know, defence systems? Is that what you call them? Anyway, when Marie spotted me, at first she looked dumbfounded. Then she caught my troubled gaze and understood. Obviously if Callie saw me, I would b- 

OOF! 

"Ow..." Finishing my sentence now. Obviously, if Callie saw me, then I would be killed with one of her bear-hugs. 

"4, Don't you know how scared I was?! You could have been captured killed, or-"

She whispered the last bit. Uhm, I don't know, maybe just leaving me out again? Uh... how do I get myself out of this situation again?Oh, yeah.

"Callie, if you let go of me now then I'll buy you a lifetime supply of french fries."

As expected. Seriously, it works every time! Well, because Callie just simply loves french fries. And seaweed fries. Well, tell you what, it can cheer Callie up to her normal self n the middle of battle. Even if she or a friend is about to die. That's the point. Now, she just let go of me immediately and sat, giving me doggy eyes. 

Marie looked like this 🤦🏻‍♀️ and she was like ℋƠ𝒲 𝕯𝕴𝕯 𝓨Ơ𝖀 ℰ𝓥ℰ𝓝 𝓢𝓤𝕽𝓥𝕴𝓥ℰ❔❕😦

My point was, she looked dumbfounded. Even if she tried her hardest not to show it, it was there for everyone to see clearly. And she also facepalmed to not show it. But,  seriously! I'm not joking! I used to think that Marie would almost never show her emotions. Not that this is a good thing, either. I waved my hand in front of her face, like, 16 times and yet she went like 😦.

"Ok, fine. Marie, we're leaving without you!" 

"And I get my fries faster!" squealed Ca- Actually, you probably already guessed who said that.

Only then did Marie snap into focus.. 

"H-hey, wait for me!"
