Chương 40: McJunky’s and a Side of Delusion

"Sir?" Cafferty asked, knocking on the door to Mordak's office.

"What?" Mordak snapped.

"This better be good! Can't you see I'm eating my dinner," he said, pulling the napkin from his neck.

"It's the report from the field agents, sir. You said you wanted it A-SAP," Cafferty replied.

"How dare you call me a sap!" he screamed.

"I'll have you fired, and sent to the camp! What's your name?" Mordak asked, standing up from his desk, knocking food onto the floor.

"No, sir, I did not call you a sap, sir, I said A-SAP. Meaning as soon as possible, sir," Cafferty replied, obviously flustered.

"I would never use such words to describe someone as awesome as you, sir," he said, casting his eyes to the floor.

"Oh, in that case, what's the update?" Mordak asked, seemingly calmer, and plopping down in the chair. Cafferty opened the folder in his hands.

"Would you like me to read it to you sir, or would you care to read it for yourself?" Mordak looked at him blankly.

"Why would I want to read it when I have you to do it for me? I mean I do pay you, right?" he asked sarcastically.

"I have to give you lads something meaningful to do, and reading to me keeps you useful and employed," he quipped.

"Very well then, sir," he said, looking down at the papers.

"Regina, aka, the woman, entered her apartment. Sat on sofa. Read magazine. Looked out window. Returned to sofa. Messaged friend. Friend went to apartment. They ate dinner on the balcony. Watered plant. Went back into apartment. Went in the bathroom to look at some girly thing. Friend left. Regina read book," he said, then took a breath.

"Friend, subject, unknown identity. Lost her after leaving the apartment. Agent entered Regina's home. No sign of said friend or baby, sir." Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Mordak gritted his teeth.

"Where is that stupid baby?" he screamed.

"I need that baby! I want that baby, and if someone does not bring me a baby, I am going to get really angry and then their heads will roll, instead of the baby's."

"Sir?" Cafferty asked meekly.

"There's more. Would you like me to finish?"

"No, I want you to stand there and look stupid," he hissed.

"Why would I want you to stand there and look stupid? Well, that is because you are stupid! Of course, I want to hear the rest of the report. What is wrong with you? Did the stupid bug bite you in the backside?"

"Yes, sir, I am stupid, I should have just…"

"Now, not tomorrow, not next week. Read it now!" Mordak interrupted.

"Yes, of course, sir," Cafferty said, flustered, pulling out the next report.

"Today!"

"Um, Elios reported that he successfully found another agent with Regina's unique abilities. A male agent. The agent successfully infiltrated the fairy's office. He has it on good authority that Seraphina returned and requested a meeting with OPD and Fairy Security." He smiled.

"It appears she has the baby, sir." Mordak looked at him, smiling brightly.

"Well, it's about time someone did their job! I knew all it would take was a man." He stood up, went back to his desk, and looked at his dinner sadly on the floor. He stepped over it, and sat back down, then pressed the buzzer on his desk.

"Yes, sir," a male voice called through the intercom.

"Jackson, get someone in here to clean up a mess and order me my usual from McJunky's," he said flatly, then looked back at Cafferty.

"What are you still doing here? Did I say I wanted to look at you taking up space in my office? Get out!" he screamed, pointing at the door. Finally! Mordak thought to himself. I will have the baby. I will execute the baby. The people will love me more than they already do! Then I will invade this fairy land and take it over and make it part of this one. I will make Falotopia bigger and better than its ever been, then we will take over the entire world, and it will all be mine! Mordak thought giddily.

"There will be no stopping me now!" He chuckled. He pressed the buzzer on the intercom again.

"Jackson, I told you to get someone in here to clean up this mess. I don't see anyone. If someone is not in here in the next thirty seconds, I will have you do it using your tongue," he screamed.

"Cancel my food order. I will eat later. Right now, I need to get to the lab!"
