Agent Vamoose ran down the sidewalk towards the nearest pay phone, her hand clutched tightly against her side. She somehow lost her cellphone during the recent activity and she didn't have time to search for it. She reached the glass box and leaned forward against it, using her free hand for support. She almost doubled over in pain. She probably didn't have much time left. She needed to contact the agency.
The wounded agent stepped into the booth and leaned against the inside wall as she picked up the receiver and punched in a sixteen digit code. A voice on the other end picked up almost immediately. "Hello, Norbert's Icecream shop. Do you know the flavor of the day?"
"Rum Raisin."
"One moment please." There was a short pause that took only a couple seconds, but felt like hours. Agent Vamoose looked down at the floor where a sizable dark red puddle was forming. "Hello?" a new voice asked.
"This is Agent Vamoose. ID number 8173Q9P14-sigma. We have a problem on our hands. The Arbella group, some of them have gone rogue. They killed the ones who refused to change sides. I went in and I know I took out two for sure before they escaped, but the others... I definitely missed at least one. Sarah. I am requesting a search and destroy squad be sent immediately."
There was a brief moment of silence then the voice spoke up once more. "Two squads are on their way. When they arrive you will lead these squads, tell them everything you-"
"Negative," she said, cutting him off. "I won't make it that long. I sustained an injury when I confronted them. It is fatal." Agent Vamoose was surprised at how calm she was staying. But then again, she was highly trained for situations such as this. "I'll likely pass out any moment now."
She heard a string of curse words on the other end of the line. At least they care, she thought to herself with a sarcastic smile. As her brain began to fog up, a realization came to her. She slid to the floor as she spoke. "Send in some cats to catch the rats. You can't use sharks for catching larks..." She was beginning to trail off and wasn't sure she was even making sense, but she hoped her message got across.
They needed an animorph to catch an animorph. Agents just wouldn't cut it. And with one last smile at that thought, Agent Vamoose went vamoose.
