The Life Of Normal-Taro

Chapter 211: The task



Chapter 211: The task

"This is risky business. And when I say risky, I mean real risky! Think about it. I can't even remember the number of times we flashed it in John. And now you want to do it again. What do you think will happen, huh?" Lonappan asked.

"As I said before, I'm curious. I wonder how many times can he take it. I know it's not ethical to do such shit, but I don't know man." Ponnappan shrugged.

"You know how curiosity killed the cat, right?" Lonappan asked.

"I don't think that's the right way to use that phrase." Ponnappan replied.

"Ah, I know how the phrase goes. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back, right? And I do know how to use it. However, this time, I just meant it literally. Your curiosity might just fuck things up for everyone. What do you think will happen when John actually gains some sort of resistance to the flashes? We're all dead. And I'm not kidding about that." Lonappan spoke with a grim tone.

"Hmm, what do you think they're gonna do once he regains the memories, huh?" Ponnappan asked.

"Well, to begin with, we'll be fired and a detailed investigation will be done against us, upon which they'll for sure learn about our transactions with aliens and hiding of fugitives and a lot other stuff. That would give us plenty of jail time. And with the added human experimentation without proper permission and being secretive about a potential calamity level threat Ha, a long time inside the prison would be the thing that awaits us. I don't want that to happen, man I got a wife and a kid who waits for me to come back home every night. I love them I just don't wanna part away from them." Lonappan sounded a bit weak as he said it.

The commanding officer stayed silent for a few seconds. "I love my wife. More than anyone or anything in this world. I don't have a kid yet, but I understand how you feel about yours. I know what is going through your mind. But let me tell you this, I'm willing to flash the neuralyzer on John a hundred times over if it's gonna save the world. I know it sounds melodramatic and you might think that we could always reason with Taro since he's such a chill guy, but we can't bank on that. Who knows when he'll snap. Maybe me rejecting his request might be the final straw towards it." The commanding officer sighed. "As for the John side of things, the most that could happen is that we get fired for what we did and a jail time. And if I'm to take all the blame, I can save all of the people here, including you. My wife knows what we're going through, so she'll understand if it ends up like that. So yea Don't worry about it." He spoke.

"Ah, fuck you, bruv. You do know that if you're going down, we're all going down, right? We're just not gonna let you take the fall alone, whether it's me or anyone else in this base." Lonappan spoke.

"Wait, weren't you the one who said that you got a wife and kid waiting for you?" Ponnappan asked.

"Yea, but that doesn't mean that I can ditch the one person who's been by my side for an eternity now." Lonappan replied.

"What? You forgot the years we were together as well?" The commanding officer chuckled.

"Nah, I just don't want you to know about that without spending effort into finding it." Lonappan answered.

"There's no shame on telling that you forgot something. I mean, I forgot it as well, didn't I? Well maybe, I'll make a bit of a fuzz about it like you did when I said that." Ponnappan replied.

"I'm not kidding when I said that I'm hiding it!" Lonappan argued.

"Whatever, man If that excuse makes you happy, then you do that." Ponnappan shrugged.

"I'm not Nah, screw it. Think what you wanna think. I don't think I can change how you think stuff, so" Lonappan shrugged back. "Anyhow, we are all good with the neuralyzer plan, right?" Lonappan asked.

"You're the one who has the doubts, not me. So, tell me. Are you good with it? Still worried about the jail time and stuff?" Ponnappan asked.

"Nah, man. You were right. We took this role to protect this planet. And if I don't do this, I just might not be able to do so. Also, it's not like we know if John has already gained immunity to the flash and he's acting as if he don't remember shit to gain all sorts of evidence." Lonappan answered.

"Hmm, that could be a possibility as well." The commanding officer nodded his head in agreement.

"Well, if that's the case, then you can't do the sacrificing thing you said before. He might have gained enough evidence against all of us at this point. So, all we could do is to hope for the best, I guess." Lonappan replied.

"Yea, good luck with your mission? Activity? Request? Action? What is it?" Ponnappan asked.

"Call it whatever the hell you want to. Bye! I'm leaving." Lonappan got up and waved his hand.

"Hey, wait!" Ponnappan called him out from behind.

"What?" Lonappan looked slightly irked by what his superior did.

"You know what I was doing when you were coming in? Or at least what I was planning to do after this conversation ends?" He asked.

"Well, I was concerned about what you'd think about Taro's request when I was coming in, so I really didn't notice what you were doing back then. And as for what you're planning to do, how am I even supposed to know that shit, huh? I'm not clairvoyant or something like that." Lonappan replied.

"Oh, I didn't mean like that. I thought that I might have made a mention of it or something. Ah, no worries. Go do your task." Ponnappan waved him goodbye.

"Finally decided with fix, huh?" Lonappan asked.

"Yea, it made a bit of sense, I believe." Ponnappan replied.

"Cool, see you later, chief!" Lonappan walked off without turning back.

"Ha! He did the thing!" Ponnappan almost screamed with a bright smile on his face.

"What happened?" Thankappan rushed towards the returning Lonappan and asked.

"I'm going to meet up with John. Where is he?" Lonappan asked.

"Ah, he's inside. He's been crying about you not informing him that you're gonna be away for the day. Honestly, it's getting a bit annoying at this point and I'm not even kidding about that." Thankappan sighed as he said that.

"Cool. I'm gonna meet him now. You coming? I might need your help." Lonappan spoke as he continued walking.

"What? My help? Why? And what about the other thing?" Thankappan asked a plethora of questions as he kept his pace with his senior's.

"Look, I'll give you all the answers that you seek for in due time. But before that, just lend me a hand, will ya?" Lonappan asked.

"Sure. But what are we gonna do?" Thankappan asked back. He was confused by the events happening.

"You'll see. Just follow me for now." Lonappan commanded.

"Jeez, you know I don't like secrets like this, right?" The junior MIB agent looked frustrated as he asked.

"And you are not good at keeping secrets either. So, what's your point?" Lonappan countered.

Thankappan looked as if he was offended by this statement of his senior's. "That's not fair. I'm pretty great at keeping secrets! Of course, there are occasional blunders, but that happens to any human, right?"

"Well, you're supposed to be an MIB agent, dude. We're the biggest secret keepers. We're unlike others in that scenario. So, you are ineligible to make that comparison." Lonappan replied.

"I guess you're right about that." Thankappan lightly nodded his head. He really didn't want his senior's words to be proven true.

"John's here, right?" Lonappan asked as he pointed towards the American's room in the Holy Land.

"Yup."

"Great. Get ready now." Lonappan warned before bursting through the door.

The sudden crash at his door made John alert. He picked his gun and pointed towards the door, but quickly withdrew it once he saw the people there.

"Lonappan! Where the hell were you, man? Wherever you were, you could've sent me a message, couldn't you? I waited for a long time for you to come." John spoke.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Wait, can you show me that gun?" Lonappan asked as he gently grabbed on to the gun.

"Oh, you noticed the new gun! It's the latest model S6-95 laser gun. Your chief gifted it to me. How is it?" John asked.

"Is that so?" Lonappan spoke as he tossed the gun towards Thankappan instead of John.

"Hey, what are you!" John was about to complaint about the way he handled the gun, but stopped himself when he saw Lonappan wearing sunglasses.
