Agent 003

Chapter 7: bye bye, Carson

Okay, so maybe I was a LITTLE harsh on Carson yesterday.... Haha! Just kidding! He got exactly what he deserved.
I skipped through the front doors of the agency, and I was in a REALLY good mood! I skipped right to my desk and sat down in my chair. After spinning for a few minutes, I decided to ask Commander for an assignment. I hadn't seen Carson yet today, so maybe Commander will let me go on my mission alone. Hopefully...
I walked to Commander's office, and paused before going inside.
"She's just not the kind of partner I can work with." I heard a voice say.
"What do you mean?" Another voice said.
"I don't know... I just feel like I'd work better alone..." The voice said. Is that... Carson? I listened closer.
"Well... If that's how you feel..." I heard another voice say, who I guessed was Commander.
"Yes sir. Thank you." It was definitely Carson! That little... Wait. I don't have to work with him anymore....
"YAY!" I shouted, before I could stop myself.
"Who's out there?" I heard Commander say. Oh crap. I quickly ran to the agency's bathroom, and locked the door. Why am I so STUPID?! Just kidding. I'm extremely intelligent... Except for the common sense part. I'd never get away with half of my mischief if I didn't have my brains.
I slowly opened the door, and peeked my head outside. The coast was clear. I tip toed back to my desk and sat down. I did a small happy dance, and spun around in my chair. "I'm FREEEEEE!" I said, throwing my hands in the air. After I regained my composure, I calmly walked to Commander's office. I knocked three times, and then entered.
"Aubrey, I was actually just looking for you." Commander said. He looks for me a lot...
"Oh, were you?" I said, innocently.
"Yes. Please sit." He said. I sat down eagerly. I didn't feel like I would be completely free, until Commander said.
"Well, Carson came to see me today..." Commander said.
"Oh. He did?" I said, trying my best to contain my happiness.
"Yes. And he said you weren't a good partner." Commander said, giving me an angry look. Uh oh. This is NOT how I expected this conversation to go.
"Wh-what?" I stuttered.
"Aubrey, I gave you a simple task! Be a nice partner to Carson!" Commander said, shaking his head. Okay... He's ruining my happy moment... And making me feel guilty... darn you, Commander!
"I was a good partner!" I said. Hehe! I lied. I was actually a terrible partner... But it's Commander's fault! He knew that I don't like working as a team!
"Not according to Carson. You're no longer partners." Commander said. "You're dismissed."
"But...." I started.
"You're dismissed, Agent Coleson!" Commander said. I frowned, but got up and left the room. Well someone's crabby... He'll get over it.
In the mean time, I'm going to get a celebratory cookie from the employees lounge. I skipped towards the lounge to get my cookie.
"Follow the yellow brick road! Follow the yellow brick road! Because because because because because! Because who wants a cookie? Aubrey does!" I sang, as I skipped. I saw a few of my colleagues laughing at me, but I didn't care. I was a free woman.
When I entered the lounge, I stopped dead in my tracks. Carson was by the table with the cookies. Get away, fatty! Save some for me!
I walked straight to the table and snatched a cookie.
"Oh... Uh.... Aubrey...." Carson said, awkwardly.
"What?" I snapped.
"No hard feelings, right?" He asked. He looked genuinely scared. I laughed.
"Bye." I said, as I left the room.
"Agent 003 to Commander Ross's office. Agent 003 to Commander Ross's office." I heard Ms. Loman say over the intercom. Uh oh.... I walked to Commander's office, munching nervously on my cookie. I entered the office, and immediately knew something was wrong. I didn't wait for him to say anything, and just sat down.
"Aubrey..." Commander said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"yeah?" I asked, nervously. This has got to be pretty bad. Commander normally doesn't show his emotions.
"You're brother has been kidnapped."

(A/n: dun dun dun! Dramatic ending!)
