Life's Second Chance

Dumb Breaks!

All that went through the young man's head was the story of how his father had taken on Jeffry after his stupid partner provoked the worm. Of course Agent Jay had to leave out the important parts.

Scowling the moment he landed atop the mushy membrane of a head, bounced and was slammed into the roof of the tunnel making him yelp at random intervals , "OW OW! -UMF- OW! YOU SERIOUS! UMF!-" his line of words were cut off the moment he had to dock under a sign, and another, and then.
"PING!" came the light metallic echo as his head connected with a low laying pipe forcing his whole upper half to fall backwards.

His body seemed to rock and jiggle due to all the accumulated blubber. Seeing stars for the first time in his life, rubbed his head feeling dizziness sink in. All he could literally see was bulbs of blinking lights every ten seconds as they passed under light panels. The walls surrounding them were all a blurry mesh of black and earthy reddish brown.

Knowing better then to sit up to be struck again, J pulled out the worm tranquilizer gun and loaded the syringe before sitting up and stabbing the hunk of jigglyness, injecting the drought. To his surprise the worm stopped all at once making him fling comically forward, his body twisting and turning in a rag-doll like fashion as he landed on the ground with a hard tumble.

After about five minutes he sat up, dazed and covered in dirt. "Gotta fix the breaks on that thing.." he commented to himself. Tasting metal, frowned as he wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand as he spat the dusty mix and looked around.

Not ten feet away lay the sleeping Jeffry, and as he called in to headquarters, summoned a cleanup crew and just plopped his now bruised back against the ground and huffed. "I'm getting to old for this!"

As if karma heard his call the thundering vibrations emitted by the metal rail made him sit up and gasp yelling. "NOT AGAIN!"
