The Spy that Loves Me

Chapter 22

Huey picked at his food, no longer hungry, he couldn't believe that this was happening to him.

He just had to step foot in Tokyolk again, just to get a stupid bounty on his head. He couldn't even contact Uncle Donald or anyone else for that matter so they wouldn't worry.

Inspector Tezuka had confiscated both his and Violet's cell phones.

Uncle Donald was going to be so worried about him, as if worrying about Dewey all these years hadn't been bad enough.

"You'll get a burner phone that is only used one way once we get you two settled into your place." Inspector Tezuka told Huey seeing that he looked a bit troubled with the fact that she had asked for their phones and have disconnected them. 

"Our...Place?" Violet asked. 

She had finished off her rice and shrimp before Huey and was looking through desserts now. He glanced up and looked over at her. She didn't look at him and continued to study the menu. Huey knew she was trying to put on a brave act for Huey's sake, and he adored her for that but Huey could also tell that this was eating her up inside and he knew that wasn't good for her health, not now. Huey knew that fact that she wasn't looking at him was so that he wouldn't see the tears he knew were prickling the corner of her eyes. 

Huey's stomach twisted into guilt at that. 

"Yes. Your place will be provided through S.H.U.S.H itself, with the latest security." Inspector Tezuka added. "You will be provided a body guard if you wish to travel in the city but only for emergencies and necessitates." She added. 

Huey blinked. 

"Why not just lock me up in a cell?" Huey snapped, suddenly making Violet finally look over at him sharply and Inspector Tezuka stare at him in bemusement. "Might as well," He continued, gripping the edge of the table so tightly that he thought he'd break it. "It wouldn't be the first time any of us has been in one." He finished. 

Silence. 

Huey kept his eyes glued to the table. 

He couldn't live like that. 

If he had learned anything from being a McDuck over the years was that he shouldn't live his life in fear. A lesson he learned well from Webby. 

"Would you prefer your fiance be put in one too?" Inspector Tezuka asked, in a cool but calm voice making Huey's head snap up and his eyes narrow at her. "I could put her in one right next to yours Huebert if you prefer it that way." 

"Leave her out of this." Huey snarled at her. 

Inspector Tezuka's eyes gleamed brightly and she smirked at him. 

"I would have thought, you, Huebert wouldn't mind the extra security measures considering you are the one Akita is after. You'd want to keep her safe as well, wouldn't you? I just thought a nice lavishing home provided out of the soul kindness of my own heart that you'd prefer that over a cell." Inspector Tezuka told him. "I'd think hard on the offer of the nicer one." She added, raising an eyebrow at him. 

Huey had no doubt that Inspector Tezuka would have followed up on her empty threat. She was at least, giving him a choice. 

"Fine." Huey grumbled in defeat. "We'll take the offer." 

"Good." Inspector Tezuka said, she got out her phone and dialed a number, after the second ring she said, "Yes, send him over." She put her phone away and it took no longer then five minutes before the boy Huey had saw take down his appoint a few hours ago strolled up to them. He bowed to Inspector Tezuka then glanced over at him and Violet. 

"Ma'am." He said. 

"Huey, Violet, meet, Honker Muddlefoot. Also known as Agent 3.14159." Inspector Tezuka said, introducing the young goose. 

Huey stared at him with interest. His agent name alone was enough to spark his curiosity about the boy. He wore glasses, and a light colored green shirt, and wore a backpack. He kind of reminded Huey of a male version of Webby.   

"Nice to meet you both." Honker told them, turning to them, then back at his boss. "Are these two my new assignment?" He asked. 

Inspector Tezuka nodded. 

"After we are done eating, you shall take them to their place, fill them in on the rules, and inform me if anything remotely happens that should cause us to take further actions if necessary." Inspector Tezuka told him.  

Honker nodded. 

Inspector Tezkua's words bothered Violet. 

Take further actions if anything happens to them? 

What did she mean by that? 

Violet was being to dislike this Inspector less and less and didn't understand how or why Huey was going along with whatever she wanted. She and Huey told each other everything, but Huey never once told her about any of this with B.O.Y.D or Akita or the fact that he has been in Tokyolk before. 

She was starting to wonder what else Huey hadn't been telling her.  

"Good, then its settled." Inspector Tezuka stood up. Huey gazed up at her as she did. "I shall inform you two of your first mission for S.H.U.S.H once you've settled in more. Honker here is appointed to your team and will keep watch over you two as you work for us. Consider this an honor, Huey, not as a punishment." She told him. "Consider yourself lucky." 

"How," Huey said, his anger rising in him still not liking the situation he's in, "is any of this considered lucky for us?" He asked. "I have a bounty on my head. We can't never go home. Violet and I can't even explain this to our families! They'll be worried sick! Not to mention we're not allowed to leave our house except for on missions and not without our bodyguard," Huey began, giving Honker an apologetic look before turning back to Inspector Tezuka. "Tell me, how any of that is lucky?" 

Inspector Tezuka and Honker glanced at each other before Tezuka said in a voice that made Huey question everything he had just said. 

"The fact that you are still alive, Huebert," She said making Huey glare at her, "and the fact that Violet won't subject to herself as being a widow at such a young age." She added. 

Huey was trembling with anger now and Violet could see it in his eyes. She sighed deeply, and laid a gentle hand across hand that was still gripping the table edge. She could tell he was doing that so he wouldn't end up punching something, or someone.  

With that Inspector Tezuka glanced at Violet then marched out of the restaurant without a second glance back at him.
