OK...if he swallowed it...can we still tune into it?

-- Xenobia

[Matt O'S oo4]

Yes, but we'll lose the signal in about 24 hours. After that the acids in the stomach will render the tracer usless.

004

[Xenobia]

So, since it hasn't been 24 hours yet, let's try to find him.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: "Okay... we need to split up... AGAIN. Team 1: Trans Alaska pipeline and Team 2: pet groomer. Volunteers?"

[Matt O'S oo4]

Sigh

That bastard owes me one for this. I'm with you, 009.

004

[Joyce Carrington]

009: "Okay. Then maybe Xen should hook up with G."

*002 frowns*

009: That was not what I meant. But you're very welcome to since 007 isn't around...

*002 growls*

009: No?

[Matt O'S oo4]

Now what?

Is 002 infected by the cat?

004

[Joyce Carrington]

*009 ducks so Xen's shoe doesn't hit her*

009: No, she's just angry.

*grabs 004's hand*

009: C'mon we'll check out the pipeline.

[Genrewriter]

*002 coughs, clearing her throat.*

002: sorry, had something in my throat. Shall we, 008?

*008 smiles nervously.*

008: Yeah, let's shall while the...shalling is good.

*He leaves with 002, stopping by 004.*

008: If she snaps and I end up a bloody pile of dead secret agent, I'll haunt you till you die.

004: Fair enough.

*008 glares and leaves.*

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 looks at 009: She actually threw a shoe at you. *shakes head* q would be pissed, I think.

009: why?

004: with all the high tech gadgetry he work with, that like throwing you P99 off of a cliff without fiiring it once.

009: Why didn't I get a pair of shoe like that?

004, surprised: Really? Well, its off to Q branch we will go at the first opportunity.

009: Oooo. I love shopping.

004: And, my favorite store, too.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Well, off to the pipeline first... The cat was standing at a sign that said '562', so we know which part of the pipeline.

004: Very good. You driving?

009: You didn't think I'd let you drive my car TOO often, did you?

[Matt O'S oo4]

004, smiles: Perphaps. *looking her up and down* Then again - ah....no worries my lady. After you of course. *checks beretta* I be a good boy. We need to find out if Bryce is still -

009 looks at him: I know - he's fine - I'm sure of it.

004 nods and holsters his weapon: Better be, or there be hell to pay.

[Joyce Carrington]

*they get into car*

009: Matt? *leans in*

004: Hmmm? *also leaning in*

009: Hold tight.

*car takes off at maximum speed*

[Matt O'S oo4]

NEVER thought I'd say this....thank GOD for seat belts. Espceially in a car that does this.

I Love it. *looks over at her* AND -

009 holds up her hand, smiling: Same here

Where is are heading? Do we have 003's SAS tarcking signal locked in?

[Joyce Carrington]

*009 smiles*

009: Darling... 002 and 008 are going to the pet groomer to find 003. WE are going to check out the pipeline.

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 pulls out and looks at his flask.

NO wonder. He takes a sizable drink.

004: Its just as well....we'll proably get a little deeper into this. *hands 009 his flask* Maybe find our cat. I wouldn't mind that - not at all.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: You can say that again.

004: I wouldn't mind that - not at all.

009: You can say that again.

004: I wouldn't mind that - not at all.

009: You can say that again.

004: I wouldn't mind that - not at all.

009: You can- *004 kisses her*

009: Oh, that was nice.

[Matt O'S oo4]

009: You can- *004 kisses her*

009: Oh, that was nice.

009: You can- *004 kisses her*

009: Oh, that was nice.

009: You can- *004 kisses her for a long time, the car veers a bit*

009: Oh, that WAS nice. *ahem.* Uh- maybe we should -

004: No, you're rtght. Its time to on our game mode.

[Joyce Carrington]

Ten minutes later, the BMW Z3 lands at the Trans-Alaska pipeline, right next to the sign that says '562'.

*004 and 009 give each other a look*

*then grab their guns and get out of the car*

[Xenobia]

Meantime, back at the grooming place, 002 and 008 have arrived.

008: This looks like the place.

002: Smells like it too. *holds nose* Have these people ever heard of health codes?

008: No, but I bet they know a few things about its violations, which tells me they don't care about running a safe business.

002: But they care an awful lot about using the smell to cover something up.

(008 starts moving toward the back of the building)

008: Shall we?

002: Oh yeah, but I think this calls for the direct approach.

(002 heads straight in the the shoppe, to the cash register, and 008 follows behind her, reluctantly. Behind the cash register is an attendant)

002: Excuse me, do you groom cats here?

ATT: Of course we do.

002: All kinds of cats....

ATT: As long as they are trained to respond well around humans, and will sit still during the process...sure.

002: Even disabled cats....ones with patches?

*The entire room falls silent*

008: (through clentched teeth) Now you've done it Xen.

ATT: Slowly. Yes, we take care of cats that you describe. We have special facilities for them. Would you like to see them?

002: Absolutely.

ATT: This way please.

(002 and 008 follow the attendant. The agents speak quietly to themselves)

008: If this turns out to be another fine mess you have gotten me into...

002: Don't worry. Just keep your hand on your piece, and all will be well.

-- Xenobia

[Genrewriter]

*008 smiles wryly.*

008: The very words I live by.

*002 gives 008 an incredibly dirty look and follows the attendant. The attendant leads the agents down a hallway to a waiting room.*

ATT: If you two will wait here, I will see you in a moment.

*008 nods as the man leaves.*

002: I don't like this.

008: It's your plan, I just do what I'm told.

*They turn as a panel in the wall opens to reveal a room with cats watching video screens of Disney films An ominous voice comes over a speaker in the wall.*

OV: Good afternoon. I trust you are pleased to have found your fellow agent, yes?

This post corrected by Mr. Clue.

[Genrewriter]

*008 and 002 approach the panel.*

OV: Do not bother to attempt entry, that glass is quite impervious. My name is LeChat, Bumfles LeChat And you have interfered with FELINE's plans for the last time.

*Suddenly, the room shifts slightly and begins to shudder. The cats watching Disney films all look back at 008 in unison*

002: What the hell?

*008 runs to the window looks down. The entire room is moving down towards an enormous ice lake. The room suddenly begins to heat up.*

008: Ever get that sinking feeling?

*002 grabs a chair and smashes it into the glass partition, nothing.*

008: Keep trying.

*002 looks down and noptices the ice lake is beginning to melt. Suddenly, the floor begins to split apart.*

002: Our situation is not improving.

*008 fires his gun at the glass but the bullets barely penetrate.*

008: Damn. Give me your watch.

*002 hands 008 her watch and takes off her belt. pulling out a long strand of prima core and attaching it to the watch.*

008: Put it on the wall, quickly!

*002 places it on the wall and 008 blasts a huge hole through it. The two agents climb out of the hole and onto the top of the elevator.

They look up and see a small ledge a few yards above. 008 aims his watch and shoots a grapple into the ledge.*

008: Hang on.

*002 holds onto 008's neck and they shoot up onto the ledge, scrambling up. There is a door which 002 quickly opens with a nail file*

002: Always figured I'd get a rise out of you some day.

*They go through the door and come out in a dark laboratory.*

[Bond111]

Meanwhile....

*111 secludes himself in a small room. He takes out his cell phone and presses '111*284'. He waits a moment. On the other end he hears Rex's phone calls of the last few days:

Rex [aparrently to his boss]: The agents haven't made much progress yet. I will report again tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rex: We met up with the other agents today. They found a clue leading them to the Alaskan pipeline. No plans have been made yet, but I will update you in a few hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rex: The agents have now formed two teams, one went to the groomer's shop, and the other is going to the Alaskan pipeline. 111 and I are just waiting here.

Boss: You have done well.

Rex: I've gotten enough information now. I'll kill 111 tonight and then go after the others.

Boss: Good. Do not fail me.

Rex: I won't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Joyce Carrington]

009 and 004 are standing next to the pipeline. There is no one in sight. A bird sings its lonely song.

004: So... tad quiet here, isn't it? What do we do now?

009: Ssshhh... I'm listening.

004: Sorry.

*another minute passes*

004: I'm sorry, but I don't hear anything.

009: Sssshhh... it's inside the pipeline.

004: Inside? You mean - oh! *takes watch* Step aside.

*004 activates the laser beam option on his watch and starts cutting through the pipe*

[Matt O'S oo4]

As soon as the pip is breached it becomes evident that THIS pipeline a missing something. OIL.

004 stops cutting for a moment and realizes and the incision he has mande would normall be leaking crude oil and a lot ot it. There just seems to be a movement of air and possibly....

[Xenobia]

*just then 009's phone rings*

009: Hello.

002: It's time for good news and bad news. What do you want first?

009: The bad news.

002: G and I almost drowned in an ice lake that collapsed around us.

009: I thought you were going to a pet grooming store.

002: We did, and their grooming section for one eyed cats rests on an ice lake.

009: Lovely. But you two are OK?

002: Yes, we are fine...

[Genrewriter]

*008 and 002 sit tight, waiting.*

[Joyce Carrington]

009: I guess they need our help.

004: But... the pipeline?

009: Maybe one of us should stay here.

004: That could be dangerous. You know what happened to everyone else who went and did something alone.

*009 sighs*

009: I still think we can't leave this pipe open like this. What if the cat's in there?

004: Okay. You go. I'll stay.

009: I appreciate you trying to protect me, but that is not necessary. (to herself: Liar)

004: Okay. We'll flip a coin. Call it.

009: Tails.

*004 flips coin*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Cathes coin and still has it concealed under his hand on his wrist.

Right.

Heads I stay.

Tails you go.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Okay. *catches on* Wait a minute... Be serious or I'll kick you in the head ten times.

004: Oh, great! Means you'll be kissing me ten times after that.

009: Not this time - you're getting spoiled.

004: Oh. Okay. Heads I stay. Tails you stay. Agree?

009: Agree.

*004 shows her coin*

009: It's tails.

004: Nooo! You're kidding me!

009: (to herself: Indeed I am) But I thought you wanted to help 003!

004: That's true. AND I get to fly your car now.

009: See? It's all good.

*004 kisses her deeply*

004: Take care of yourself.
