Something fishy.

thump! thump! thump! CRASH!

The door to the left of the desk shot open with a bang slamming against the side of the desk. A black booted foot protruded from the open door. A woman (to whom the foot belonged) lept threw the doorway, and landed in on both booted feet with a thump. She was a monster that resembled a fish with blue-green scales. She had electric red hair tied in a tight ponytail, and a large fringed fin on each side of her head. Her right eye was a bright golden yellow with a black slit for a pupil, like a cat. The other was covered with an eye-patch. She wore a manic grin of razor shark teeth on her face that dropped instantly when she saw me. Her stance slackened. She trembled only a moment before catching herself and squaring her shoulders. She crossed her arms, muscles rippling. "SANS?" Her voice was deep, and raspy.

I drew a blank as two security guards tread cautiously through the door, pistols at the ready. They tensed at the sight of our stand off, and pointed their pistols at me. I slipped my hands into the pockets of my jacket, eye-lights returning to my eyes. "Tha's my name, no need tuna wear it out. But I can see that my presence here may seem a bit fishy. How ya been, Undyne?" Undyne pinched the bridge of her nose. "Good. Grief. Ya haven't changed even a little. WHAT'RE YA DO'N HERE?" "Avoiding questions, I see." The two guards looked stiff and dumbfounded. I couldn't blame them. Here I was, the threat, cracking jokes and looking overall chill in the presents of Undyne, who was probably the most intimidating person they have ever met. And the how I was acting, they were wondering how I hadn't gotten impaled yet.

"I'M FINE! NOW ANSWER YA LAZY NERD!" I couldn't help but chuckle. "Ya haven't changed much either." Undyne growled, and started pacing "THIS IS WHY I HATE YA." I snored. "I was look'n for information 'bout Frisk." I felt my shoulders slump. Undyne stopped. "I-I heard. Sorry." I jabbed a thumb at the desk lady, who was now practically curled into a ball in her chair, wide eyed. "Can't get anyth'n 'bout my pipsqueak." Undyne shifted her gaze to the desk lady, and smirked. I calmed myself slightly. "Really dunno what yer so scared 'bout, kid. just said I'd do anyth'n to prove myself, and blacked my eyes out to say I was serious." I said, looking the lady in the eye. The guards turned their pistols down. Undyne swatted at the back of my head, and I ducked on instinct.

The desk lady relaxed. "YA THOUGHT THAT WAS SCARY? YA SHOULD SEE 'IM WHEN HE'S MAD!" I cocked a brow at Undyne. "I was the least threaten'n monster in the whole underground. Well, 'sides Alph." Undyne snorted. "COME ON NERD. MY SHIFT DON'T END FOR A WHILE." I saluted her. "Yes ma'am!" She chuckled, and gave another failed attempt at swatting me. We walked back through the door that Undyne kicked open, guards in toe.

"So, where're we taking short stack here?" One of the guards asked. He was Tall, not as tall as Papyrus though, with light skin, dirty blond hair, and green eyes. The other was dark skinned, with straight black hair, and black eyes. He was close in height, but a couple inches taller. "WE'RE GONNA HELP 'IM FIND HIS KID, OFFICER HARP."Undyne replied sourly.

I couldn't help but wince. "He is a potential threat. Why would you take his word, when he clearly Threatened Kate. And why did he call you Undyne?" The other officer questioned. "KATE WAS UNHARMED, SHE'S JUS' A WIMP. SANS WAS JUS' MAKE'N A POINT, AND SHE MISUNDERSTOOD 'IS CUE'S. AND AS FOR MY NAME, IT'S UNDYNE. WE HAD TO CHANGE 'RE NAMES WHEN WE GOT TO THE SURFACE. YA KNOW HOW THAT GOES." Undyne's tone made it sound obvious. "How are you so sure?" Officer Harp asked. " 'Cause she knows I'm to lazy ta cause trouble." I cut in. This earned me a smirk from Undyne. "SURE NERD."

Undyne Took me into a side room with a table of computers. She searched for information about my wife, daughter, and the incident itself, but we didn't find anything that we didn't already know. Undyne suggested that the information was wiped from the database. We did, however, find a picture of Emily. She looked so much like her mother, I wanted to cry.

At the end of Undyne's shift, we left. As we neared the door to the lobby, (which I opened,) I heard voices coming from the front desk. "...AND THAT IS HOW YOU TELL THAT THE PASTA IS READY. ANY QUESTIONS?" I poked my head in the direction of the voices. Sure enough, there was Papyrus, leading the Desk lady, Kate, in a serious conversation about the proper ways to cook spaghetti.

"Hey bro." "SANS! THERE YOU ARE, I WAS GETTING WORRIED! WHERE WERE-" "HEYA PAP." Undyne interrupted him. "HOW'S MA FAVORITE ROYAL GUARDSMAN?" At the sight of Undyne, Papyrus somehow straightened up more than he already was, and saluted her. "CAPTAIN UNDYNE! A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU. I AM DOING FINE! BUT MAY I REMIND YOU THAT I NEVER MADE IT INTO THE ROYAL GUARD. AND ALAS, NOW IT IS NO MORE. I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR MY BROTHER, BUT IT SEEMS YOU HAVE FOUND HIM! I THANK YOU FOR THAT. TELL ME, HOW IS ALPHYS?" As we started walking out of the police station, Papyrus waved at Kate, who waved back, eyeing me uncertainly. I flashed her a smile. "ALPH 'AS BEEN GOOD, SHE'S A MOTHER OF THREE NOW. TWO BOYS AND A GIRL." "Sorry to interrupt, but where are we going?" I asked. "OH! I WAS HOPPING WE COULD WALK AROUND FOR A BIT, IF THAT IS OKAY WITH YOU UNDYNE?" Papyrus asked, turning to his former mentor. "AS LONG AS SANS IS GONNA GET OFF HIS LAZY BUTT AND COME WITH, I'M DOWN." "Oh." I remarked. Hello darkness my old friend.
