The title of this piece is perhaps a bit misleading as MR SQUEEK (AKA SPECIAL AGENT SQUEEK) is pretty much always doing the town. Well, in this particular adventure, he is leading former Suit, Ms KATIE on a tour of… Let’s just say, SA Squeek has ideas. Read on! —The Gang
Ready For This ??
Let’s begin at the beginning…
INT. KATIE’S HOUSE
It’s early morning and KATIE, the former SUIT, is up early doing her morning routine — JOURNAL writing.
KATIE’S MUSINGS
Had an interesting day Over the Hill. Most notable… Kee-Ra’s human has already filled a Journal and has also requested the next volume of DragonBall – LAYFLAT.
Funny… The versions I’ve been buying USED are 3-in-1s. Once I break them down, they are back to singles.
Sees her eyes…
Anyway, she requested Volume 2, so that’s two things to note. Might need to head over there sooner than scheduled because… Crap! Totally forgot to show her KIMBA’S MAGNETS.
Actually, come to think of it, probably a good thing as I should study them and give her some feedback.
Seemed so spontaneous on her part… SLABBY to STICKERMULE… equals instant gratification. Gotta turn off my Marketer head and circle back to what this PELLY magnet represents (besides the WESTSIDE). It could be… another DING!THING. Investigate, I must as not double an interesting backstory awaits.
Not buying random acts of randomness. Everything happens for a reason…
K-So… There’s more! Allegedly, RC is still over the hill. Tagging along with me, he seemed to be on a mission.
Left me a note … so no worries. I can only guess that he’s wandering about getting ideas for his next “@ TheSea” session — which is rolling up quick…
Makes me think… RISE OR RUN? Gotta love Pitbull which also reminds me– his Station no longer on my preset. Did Sirius quit him out or just move him?
I was shocked my ears to hear what’s on #13 instead — a SWIFT takeover.
She reaches for her phone to do a Google Search.
KATIE’S MUSINGS
And there you have it. Born on the 13th. First album went gold in 13 weeks and … according to the AI overview 13 is Easter Egged all over her performances. Pitbull didn’t stand a chance!!
So follow up Google AI…
She taps some more on her phone and then smiles.
KATIE
That’s better… a better answer. Not gone… Just relocated to #15. Gotta change my presets for sure!
A familiar voice replies…
MR SQUEEK
Gotcha covered. Let’s roll into town. I’ll fix it on the way. Essential research, we need to do.
KATIE
Oh, hey there Special Agent. Research you said?
MR SQUEEK
Yup! So… Ride into town?
KATIE
Hold on…
She picks up her phone again and checks the calendar.
KATIE
GEAR GUY mentioned we were… Oh, it’s tomorrow. No worries then. For sure. Gotcha like after the lunch rush and before school gets out?
MR SQUEEK
Sure. I’ll be back with my PAK.
He laughs and bounds away.
KATIE
Strange but hashtag whatevs, right?
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. DOWNTOWN SANTA CRUZ
Katie and Special Agent Squeek have pulled into an parking lot and are on foot.
KATIE
Lead on!
MR SQUEEK
Let’s hit the bird place.
KATIE
Berdels? Really? There’s one on the Westside…
MR SQUEEK
Hardly ever open. I can tell you that for certain. If it was zoned for food, a Bagelry would be ideal in that spot.
KATIE
Now you’re talkin!
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. BERDELS
They enter the Berdels lifestyle store on Pacific and Katie starts browsing around.
KATIE INTERNAL
Uroko’s stuff is so cool. The online pushes… don’t cut it. His stuff needs to be experienced…
She is in her own zone, admiring the different t-shirts when she gets paw-tapped.
MR SQUEEK
This way, Sista.
Special Agent Squeek walks her to the front counter.
KATIE
O-k-a-y… So…?
MR SQUEEK
Get that phone out and … snap away.
He points to the display of stickers. Mostly fish and some branded one’s with the store’s signature pelican.
MR SQUEEK
No worries. Cleared it with BIRDel-Man here…
Now if you’d kindly reach inside the PAK of mine you’re carrying, you should feel an envelope. Please to…
Katie hands it to him. After removing a crisp ten dollar bill, he hands it back to her.
MR SQUEEK
Picking up a few… For research.
The “birds” of Berdels…
KATIE
Ah! Gotcha…
MR SQUEEK
Burnin’ Daylight! Let’s get a move on shall we? Next stop. No delay!
He points.
MR SQUEEK
3 minutes that way. Other side of the street.
KATIE
Oh… The Bookshop? For books?
MR SQUEEK
As fun as that would be, today the focus is on… Stickers!
They’ve got a SLUG SHOP within the bookstore… and it allegedly has these…
Stickers & More…
He shows a printout that he grabbed from the PAK when they were tucking away the Berdel stickers.
KATIE
The going price seems to be $6. That Berdel Bundle — they only charged us as an offset.
MR SQUEEK
And to keep them away from random placement… as in stuck places that muck with the branding.
KATIE
I know. I know.
So they enter and scope out the SHOP. Katie crinkle’s her nose.
MR SQUEEK
What?
KATIE
Where’s the SLUG? Patch only? So lame. Otters? Talk about mucking with branding. Otterland is down the coast… CSU Monterey Bay. UC can’t claim otter. Nor should they as their SLUG is way better!
MR SQUEEK
Okay. Settle down, you. In fact, your work here is done.
KATIE
Huh? Really?
MR SQUEEK
For now, yeah. Let what you saw kick around in the back of your mind. Will circle back soon.
KATIE
Okay. So…?
MR SQUEEK
I’ve got some more stops, so you can head on back without me…
She holds up his PAK.
KATIE
You need this?
MR SQUEEK
Traveling light… Please stow it for me.
KATIE
Will do! Guess I’ll see you when I see you.
MR SQUEEK
Not if I see you first!
Katie and PAK disappear down the street, while Special Agent Squeek moves onto his next stop.
FADE OUT
WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT.?
Stay tuned as Special Agent Squeek bumps into someone unexpected (and out of context) during one of his stops. — The Gang
