Agent Arizona: Season 15

Grif Does a Rescue

Back at the Blues and Reds underwater base, Sarge walks into Temple's office. 

"You uh...wanted to see me sir?" 

"Just one second...goddang freakin' pop-ups.. If I find out Buckey's been downloading porn again I'm going to flush him out the pressure lock." Temple then shuts down his computer and looks at the Red Colonel. "Sarge. I thought we should catch up." 

"If it's about Simmons, sir, I've-I've already given him a stern talking to. Perhaps in a few days, we can give him another chance." Sarge suggests. 

"Yeah, that's not happening. There's...there's just no time! You understand. Our machine is finished, and it's time to see if it works." 

"Mmph...understood." Sarge says sadly. 

"Sarge, I really called you in here because...I wanted to see how you were holding up." Temple says sympathetically. "I-I can only imagine, this must be a...really difficult time for you."

Sarge merely grunts in response.  

Temple places a hand on Sarge's shoulder. "Speak freely, Sarge, please!" 

"Well, it ain't been no cakewalk!" Sarge admits. "But I didn't reach the rank of Colonel by only following the orders I liked." 

"Gah, you're an inspiration to us all. Which brings me to my point: I'm promoting you!" 

Sarge looks up in surprise. "Oh, really?" 

"The warhead will need loyal and capable leaders. If I had a dozen like you, Sarge, the UNSC wouldn't stand a chance!" 

Sarge salutes him. "You can count on me, sir! Does that mean...am I a..?" 

"That's right! Super Colonel!" 

"Super Colonel Sarge! Ha-ha! Boy, that rings like a bell, don't it?" Sarge laughs. 

"Sure does." Temple agrees chuckling. 

Surge and Shadow walk up to the two as they laugh. 

"Temple! You need to come see this." Shadow says. 

"What is it?" 

"We have an intruder." 

"What?! Why haven't you sounded the alarm?!" Temple cried. 

Surge laughs. "It's not that kind of situation, sir." He leads them into the security room with Buckey and Gene, where they see footage of Grif running around the base. 

"Biff?" Temple whispers. 

"Nah, I'd know that pudgy, out-of-breath waddle anywhere! That's Grif!" Sarge states. 

"How long has he been at it?" Temple inquires. 

"A while. He's been goin' 'round in circles." Surge laughs heartily. 

"The heck is he thinking?" Buckey says confused. 

Grif continues to run around while murmuring to himself. "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfreakers! Dun-dun-dun-dunnana. Kssh. Uh, this is Snake to Big Boss. No sign of surveillance. Kssh." Grif walks next to a table with Fish on it, a Metal Gear Solid noise plays as an exclamation mark appears above his head and he turns to it. 

"Hello there!" 

"What the heck is he doing now?" Gene asks. 

"Snacking. It's amazing he's made it this long!" Sarge says shocked. 

"Some rescue." Temple scoffs. 

"He's going for the vent! (Shudders) That's gonna be a tight fit." Cronut says uneasily.
