Secretive Doughnut

Chapter 5: Back

      Spear knocked on the door to Boss' office while Xeno leaned up against a wall.

             "Come in." a deep voice said from the other side of the door.

                   Spear and Xeno did as they were told as Boss spun in his chair towards them.

                          "Did you get any information on the target?" Boss asked, in his usual deep voice.

                                Spear nodded. "Apparently, she's working with your and Topaz' girlfriends. on some sort of 'secret project'. They were talking to Topaz' girlfriend while she was working at the diner."

                         "Hmm." Boss mused as Xeno thought about something. He turned to Xeno. "Something on your mind?"

                                 Xeno shook himself from his thoughts and nodded. "The target was also with a green girl who Spear said was the target's bestie."

                                   "Xeno, could step out for a moment." Boss said, much to Xeno's confusion. "I need to speak with Spear alone, real quick."

                                      "Alright." Xeno said as he shrugged his shoulders and left the office.

                                             Spear approached Boss' desk. "Everything ok?"

                                Boss shook his head. "Am I crazy or did Xeno say 'bestie' and not best friend?"

                                                   "Oh, that." Popsicle said in realization. "Yeah. Ya see, I know Xeno. And he's kinda, sorta, weird."

                                           "Weird, how?" Boss asked as he leaned towards his Spear.

                                                 "Ya know, how guys who really like guys other act?" Spear asked in reply as Boss nodded. "That's how he is."

                                                     "He like guys?" Boss asked as he raised an eyebrow.

                        "Oh. No, no, no." Spear quickly replied as he shook his head. "He's just flamboyant."

                                                        As soon as the words left Spear's mouth, Xeno reentered the office.

                                                                   "I can't believe you ordered me out of your office just so you could talk about me behind my back." Xeno said as he glared at Boss. "I'm taking an early leave. Good day." He then slammed the office door shut behind him and stomped out of HQ.

                                                            Boss slunk down into his chair. "What have I done?"

                                                             "Ya screwed up." Spear replied.

                                                              "I was being rhetorical." Boss said. "You may go as well, Spear."

                                                                  Spear tilted his head. "Huh?"

                                                   "I wanna be alone." Boss said as he pointed to the door. "Just go."

                                                                     Spear shrugged and left the room.

                                                                  ~Time Skip~

             As soon as Spear was outside of HQ, he saw someone approach him. "Who are you?"

                 "Trust me, that's the last thing you should be concerned about." the mysterious person replied in a familiar yet sinister voice.

                                    Spear tried to get a better look at them. "Shimmer, is that you?"

                                                 "Oh. So close." the person teased as they pulled out a hammer and smacked him on the head with it.

                                   Spear shook his head as he began to stumble. "Ugh, what was that for?"

                                                  The person's eyes widened. "How are you still conscious?"

                                                           "I'm not what one would consider normal." Spear replied.

                                                                   The person scoffed. "You're a party planner, aren't you?"

                                                                    Spear shook his head. "Not quite."

                                                                       "No matter." the person said. "I'll just hit you, again." They hit Spear on the head with the hammer a few more times until he collapsed on the ground. "Much better." the person said with a sinister smile. "Look out, Shimmer. Cause I'm back." They then dragged Spear away.
