Don't Forget The Little People

Chapter 1- Partners

Jed's POV

I watched the tiny doorway between the Roman and Western displays. If Toga-Boy invades with his army of skirt wearin' sissies, I'll tie them up to the railroad and make sure they aren't back to their exhibit by sunrise!

The door slowly opened and I pulled my guns from their holsters. Octavius put his hands up. I put my guns down slowly, keeping my finger on the trigger. Octavius slowly walked towards me.

"Where are all your catapult launchin, skirt-wearin sissies?" I asked the Roman General.

"I don't know. Where are your rope-slinging, drunken 'Manly-men'?" The Roman shot back.

"Ugh, what are you doing on MY turf, bub?" I asked him.

"I need to talk to you. Alone." Octavius replied.

Octavius's POV

I wanted to talk to this tiny cowboy alone. "I know that Romans work alone but I really wanted to ask you if we could stop this fighting, and become partners." I told Jedediah.

"Did Gigantor make you do this?" He asked suspiciously.

"No. Actually, I haven't seen Larry at all this evening. It's his shift and he should be here by now." I said.

"Ugh. I guess this is our first mission. Partner." Jed stuck out his hand awkwardly for me to shake.

I took his hand and shook it firmly. We climbed down a rope that Larry had put for us. We wandered the museum looking for Larry. We stopped in front of the Egyptian exhibit. Where we heard screams.

"Gigantor is probably in trouble. Jackles, hah, more like Jack-Asses. They probably have him hostage." Jed supplied, chuckling.

"Let's not rush to that... Um maybe he's... Y'know what, lets just go check." I said, trying not to imagine the worst.

But what we walked into, was worse then either Jed or I could imagine.
