It's The Real Deal: Rebooted 3

Chapter 6: Visions Of Tragity & Carter's Back

(CLASSIFIED)

Outside: Lily's P.O.V.

"So, how did the meeting go?" I ask. I'm so excited for this episode. "It's a little weird interviewing for a new job when you can't actually talk about your old job. Right." Carter states. Oh, yeah. "The government has to protect its secrets, you know, and you've seen a lot since you've come to Eureka." Henry explains. What? "Well, you didn't tell me about it, and compared to this, Homeland Security's gonna be dull." Carter points out. I'm so confused. "Jack, forgive me, but I'm actually hoping you don't get the job." Henry says to him.

"I was kind of hoping that you didn't either because we really do need you here." I state. "I got to go." Henry states. We go into Cafe Diem. "Did they offer you the job?" Zoe asks Carter. "Well, they told me they'd let me know." Carter responds. Poor Zoe. "But, when? When will they let you know? I mean, will we have to move right away, or..." Zoe trails of. Cater laughs. "I don't know, but no more Vinspresso for you. Okay?" Carter asks her. She's worried, I would be too.

"Wow. My life is in complete turmoil, and you think it's hilarious?" Zoe asks. "No. I don't. I mean, in fact, I told them I can't start until you finish the semester. I'm gonna make this as easy on you as I can." Carter states. "Don't worry, Zoe. I moved into a new school in the middle of the year and I made some really great friends. I mean, I wasn't popular but it was still pretty amazing. Just be glad that you're probably going to a school where none of the classes have 12 boys and 6 girls." I state. Zoe's eyes widen. "That happened to you?" She asks. I nod. "Yeah. It was pretty chaotic but I loved that school so much. It was a fun class." I state.

"Thanks for trying to stress me out less." Zoe states, sincerely. "No problem." I respond. "Vince! Can I get a burger?" Carter asks him. "A simple meal for a simple man. It's not gonna be the same without you, Sheriff." Vincent states. Oh, gosh. Vincent, everything's going to be fine. No Carter, no show. "Vince, can you try and hold it together for just, like, one second, please?" Carter asks. Exactly. "Thanks, Vince." He says when he gets his burger. We go over to Joe. "Wow, a coffee and a donut. You're already eating like a sheriff." Carter states.

Oh, brother! "It's a 16-grain protein bagel, and I am not Sheriff." Joe states. I guess you could say that. "All right, "Acting Sheriff," just until the D.O.D. Makes it official. You happy?" He asks. Not one bit. "Carter, you know I've always wanted your job, and I deserve it. And I'll probably do it better than you did." Joe states. "Yeah, you will." Carter states. I guess. "I want it, but not like this." Joe reminds. I wouldn't want it like this either. "I know. I'm proud of you anyway." Carter states.

Oh, I feel so bad for her. "Hey." Allison greets us. "Hey! Hey. Look at you." Carter greets her. She looks so good. "Yeah, it's hard not to. I'm starting to create my own gravitational field." Allison points out. "Yeah, well, it agrees with you, being pregnant." Carter compliments. I agree too. "Actually, I needed to see the three of you. I have news about the sheriff's position." Allison says to us. Mmm...This isn't going to be good. "General Mansfield came around and he is gonna rehire Carter?" Joe asks. I feel so bad for Joe.

"No." Allison answers. I know. "Congratulations, Sheriff Lupo." Carter states. Oh, no! "And it's not Joe, either. Sorry. They have hired a replacement. He will be here any minute." Allison states. We go into the Sheriff's office. "Guess he sent his stuff ahead." Carter states. I really don't like this actor for the new sheriff. Sorry, I just don't. "And he's late on his first day." Joe points out. Little do they know... "Well, they gave me his phone number. Let me give him a call." Allison suggests. You sure about this? We hear his cell phone ring. "He sent his cell phone ahead?" Carter asks. Nope.

"Hello, Dr. Blake, Deputy Lupo. And you must be..." The new sheriff says who looks like a robot. Mmm...Here it comes. "That's very creepy." Joe states. I kind of agree with that statement. "That is the latest in dynamic copolymers." Fargo states. What? Carter groans. "Is this one of your freaky inventions?" He asks. I wish. "No. This is a $2.9 billion D.O.D. Program. I'll have him on duty in two shakes of an artificial lamb's tail." Fargo claims. You sure about that?
