The New Agent

Summary:

Colby gets a surprise visitor at work.

Work Text:

The New Agent—

Colby stared at the computer and willed the suspect’s name to appear on his search.

“Granger,” someone called. “Look what I found!”

Colby looked up to see Monte, the security guard from the lobby, and …

“Daddy!” Nena ran toward him.

Colby grabbed her in a hug. “What are you doing here?”

“I found her on Floor Two,” Monte said. “Good thing you showed me pictures last week, because I couldn’t find ‘Daddy’ in my directory.”

“What were you doing on the second floor?” Colby asked in confusion.

“Mommy pressed the button for Daddy’s office. But I pressed all the other buttons and then didn’t remember which was Daddy’s button.” Nena said, looking embarassed.

“But it’s just Thursday. Where’s Mommy?”

“Mommy went to lossvegus.”

Colby grumbled at Jenny’s high-handedness. What if he hadn’t been here or the security guard hadn’t recognized Nena?

“Thanks, Monte,” Colby said. “I owe ya.”

“You bet you do.” Monte grinned, then departed.

“Mommy said,” Nena continued, “‘I’m gonna turn your Daddy’s check into a forchun.’”

Colby groaned. Jenny must think FBI agents got paid in gold bars.

“Was I not ‘sposed to tell you that?” Nena asked, her smile impish.

“Probably not,” Colby had to laugh.

“Unka Don!” Nena cried, demanding a hug.

Don picked Nena up. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah,” Colby said. “Jenny decided to go to Vegas.”

“Well, more Nena for us,” Don grinned.

“The man downstairs didn’t know Unka Don or Daddy or David or Meg’n or Charlie or Unka Wiw or Grannpa Alan or Larry-in-Space. I tried everybody!”

“It sounds like it,” Don laughed. “Next time just say ‘FBI.’”

“Ooh, can I have a badge?”

Don looked at Colby. Colby shrugged and said, “Do we have any of those toy badges left?”

“I’ll get one.” Don grinned. “But Dad’s gonna kill me.”
