Anarchy Inc ... Illustriously presents ...
|
|||
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Anarchy Incorporated takes Fort Point" (Another Fictional Presentation...)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-Part One of Two.- (ooh!)
|
|||
|
"Shit! Not another Anarchy File... I'd be leaving... G'ba."
|
|||
|
"Shut up, Ron."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The dark figure walked up the marble steps towards the towering building. The
|
|||
|
doorman looked at him, for just a second, as he slinked on by. Beads of sweat
|
|||
|
poured from his forehead, as he was handed a tip from this person. The security
|
|||
|
guard, a rent-a-cop said nothing, as the figure stalked over to the elevator,
|
|||
|
and pressed a red button on the wall. The buttons read from 1 to 42, but the
|
|||
|
top-most one had an "A" on it. He pressed it in, and the elevator shook, and
|
|||
|
rose. The doorman, who did not enjoy his job all that much, came inside and
|
|||
|
approached the security guard. "Should we have let him in?" he began. "That
|
|||
|
was an awfully big knife he had on his side." The security guard sighed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Would we have had a choice? 'sides, his credit's good 'ere." The guard took
|
|||
|
another puff of his menthol cigarette, and put it out. The ashtray was already
|
|||
|
too full. "They may be a bit weird, but if'in they can afford a place like
|
|||
|
'his, well, let's just not think about it." He leaned back in his chair. The
|
|||
|
doorman liked that idea, and went back to standing by the door, like a good
|
|||
|
doorman. Outside, it began to rain.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The elevator was slow. The figure adjusted his hat, and kicked the side of
|
|||
|
the elevator. It lurched to a stop, and a electronic female voice thanked him
|
|||
|
for making a simple machine happy. Couldn't the group stop stealing lines from
|
|||
|
Douglas Adams? He pondered over this thought for a bit, then stepped out of the
|
|||
|
elevator. His boots made a resounding thud on the floor in the dark hall, and
|
|||
|
he began walking. The elevator slid down back to the 31st floor, where a
|
|||
|
aspiring lawyer was waiting for a ride down to the first floor.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
He knew where he was going. He went in a small set of doors, to a room that
|
|||
|
was covered from wall to wall with lush carpeting. There was supposed to be a
|
|||
|
receptionist around, but things had been slow lately. A scratching came from
|
|||
|
under the desk. Looking over the desk, Eric C. Thompson was under there,
|
|||
|
struggling to get a large ball and chain off his leg. He had given up trying up
|
|||
|
to get it off of his leg, and was now trying to break the table instead. He
|
|||
|
looked up, in surprise, and stuttered a series of words. "Uhm-- I, you see, Mr.
|
|||
|
Flagg, I was only...I mean..." The figure laughed, and walked on., Eric sighed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
He strode into a smaller room, off to the side, where the words "MEN" had been
|
|||
|
crossed out, and "OFFICE" had been neatly penciled in over it. Kicking the door
|
|||
|
open, he stepped inside. An odd person wearing red tights was surprised by this
|
|||
|
action, and he dropped his copy of "National Enquirer", and sat up in his chair.
|
|||
|
Randall Flagg stood before him.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Dare..." Randall grunted. "I want ACTION!" To make his point clear, he
|
|||
|
revealed a large knife, and stabbed it into the table, through a 1984 calender.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I.." began Daredevil. He smiled weakly. "You.." he continued. He did not
|
|||
|
like knives, except when he had one. "You want...action?" he finally said.
|
|||
|
Randall sighed and held up his arms.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Those Dungeonwriters have been doing most of the writing lately!" He yelled.
|
|||
|
"We haven't done anything!" He held his hands higher. "NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE!"
|
|||
|
He yelled. He quickly sat down in a smaller chair next to the desk, and smiled.
|
|||
|
Daredevil rolled his eyes heavenward.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Okay, so we have been a bit lazy." he admitted. He struggled with getting
|
|||
|
the knife out of his year-old calender. "Grunt...but, we do have things lined
|
|||
|
up in the -ummph- future." The knife wouldn't budge. Randall hit his fist
|
|||
|
against the over-stuffed chair, and dust flew. He sneezed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"What do we have lined up?" he said with mock eagerness. Randall sneezed, and
|
|||
|
the knife fell out of the calender. "Fuck! volume 17? How to Rule the World?
|
|||
|
Or maybe something about hijacking the space shuttle? Huh?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daredevil sighed. "Well, I was thinking about..."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"No." said Randall.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"...actually..." continued Daredevil.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"No."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Going out and getting research?" finished Daredevil. Randall knotted his
|
|||
|
brow. This was an interesting concept. "Now, I know what you're thinking..."
|
|||
|
he said. "When we went out to get research on the ancient K-Mart series? Well
|
|||
|
that was an accident. We paid them for the damages."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Do we still pay for the cashier that the Moon Roach --"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Yes, we do." interrupted Daredevil. "Moon Roach didn't mean to do that...
|
|||
|
Well, maybe he did. But, still...At least no charges were pressed."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"True." said Randall. "What would you like to do?" he asked.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"I don't know yet...I really don't know..." Daredevil muttered.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
From the other room, Eric had finally gotten the ball and chain from the
|
|||
|
table. But, freeing it from his leg was another story. "Maybe if I could carry
|
|||
|
the ball for the rest of life, I could...No." thought Eric. He picked the ball
|
|||
|
up with some effort, and walked over to the telephone. Before he could pick it
|
|||
|
up, it rang. This was a very uncommon occurance these days, and it was not
|
|||
|
something Eric expected. He jumped back, and the office answering machine took
|
|||
|
the call for him.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
buzz...click...--- "Hello, you've reached the offices of Anarchy incorporated
|
|||
|
located in beautiful New York City. However, nobody is around at the moment.
|
|||
|
If you would like to leave a message, please do at the sound of the tone. Thank
|
|||
|
you, and Mow loves you." The machine beeped, and a voice began to talk quickly
|
|||
|
in worried tones.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"uhm...hey, Dare...I know you're there...You busy?" said the voice. Eric
|
|||
|
recognized it as Alexander of Atlantis. It sounded long-distance.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Ohhhh no..." thought Eric. Daredevil came walking through his doors, and
|
|||
|
didn't seem to notice the fact that Eric had freed himself. He picked up the
|
|||
|
phone and began to speak. "Yeah, Alex...Whadda you want?" he said. Randall
|
|||
|
poked his head from the office, and laughed at Eric. He went back to making
|
|||
|
designs on the wall with his knife. Daredevil nodded his head several times,
|
|||
|
and sighed again. He was one to sigh a lot.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Yes...no...Well, I -- No. Yes. No. You serious? Why? Really? Oh gwad."
|
|||
|
he finished. He hung the phone up, and went to search for his jacket. Eric
|
|||
|
struggled over to Randall.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"What is going on?" asked Eric rather innocently.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"You got me." said Randall. He didn't seem to care, as much.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daredevil walked into the office. "We're going to San Francisco."

|||

|||
