upon hearing the familiar buzz of her phone, Leyla felt around for
the device on her nightstand. it was 7.am, and she was still tired.
Nautilus was calling her.
"what?" Leyla answered, still tired. why would she call at this
early hour? it was not like they had duties to do?
"Leyla! morning!" the voice of her octoling friend still wasn't
enough to wake her up. by the background noise she was in inkopolis
square. "didn't we say we were going to do a salmon run shift
together? Griz-"
hanging up, Leyla jumped out of her bed. she had forgotten about
it. if she hurried enough she could make it on time...
*A shrill, screechy beep echoed through the small apartment as
Olivia’s alarm went off, she groaned and slowly opened her eyes,
she rubbed her eyes, stretched, sat up in bed, and turned off her
alarm, she got up to get dressed with a small yawn* too damn
early... *she muttered*

“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
*Olivia checked the time and immediately perked up* but not early
enough! *she said, as she saw she had accidentally set her alarm a
bit too late, she threw on her favorite clothes, pocketed her
phone, and tumbled out of her apartment and into the square*
Your local humanoid arachnid of unidentifiable species
“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
Leyla arrived at the square, panting. She probably looked out of
place because everyone seemed calm while she was panting from all
that running. Now she had to find nautilus. There were a few
Octolings in the square, but none of them was nautilus. Finally she
realised that the only place she could be was Grizzco
*Olivia finally made it to the square, huffing and panting, she
tried to calm herself and blend in, then she noticed another
inkling looking somewhat flustered like she did, she watched them
curiously*
Your local humanoid arachnid of unidentifiable species
“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
Sure enough, the cheerful Octoling was waiting outside Grizzco. She
had no idea how long she's had to wait there, but it didn't
matter.
"You're here!" Nautilus started upon seeing her friend arrive.
"Grizzco is closing soon, so we're the last shift for the day.". It
explained why the building was deserted expect the mysterious
wooden bear statue known as mr Grizz and a male inkling already
getting ready. And putting on the cap.
*Olivia adjusted her hat and continued watching Layla and Nautilus,
she began wandering slowly in their direction*

“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
*Olivia leaned against a wall, she checked the time, then looked up
at the other* “they look real familiar...” *she thought*

“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
Leyla sighed, since they were a three person team right now. She
wished she could meet the agent 3 Nautilus talks about in person.
So far all her agent duties weren't in the same time as him so she
never seen him irl. According to Nautilus.. He's cool and a real
master with Chargers. If only something brought every agent
together-
A surprised scream of inklings and Octolings made her look outside.
Everyone was on their phones panicked, talking to others and some
were having mental breakdowns.
----------------------
"What?!" A male Octoling said to his friends in inkopolis square.
He was looking at his phone while his friends edged closer to see
the news. The words were clear and it wasn't a dream, but the
headline was horrific enough
Breaking news: Idols Callie and Pearl go missing
"We're doomed!" A punk-ish female inkling cried, looking up at the
sky. "What has this ink world come to?!"
*Olivia listened to all the panicked screams of the Inklings and
Octopings in the square, she saw the headlines and knew immediately
why, she didn’t expect it, but almost, in a way, it didn’t surprise
her, she finally made her way all the way to Grizzco*

“Look, all I’m saying is, I’d commit Arson, but if there’s a Spider
in that house, I’m saving it”
-Spyder
"Poor Callie.." Nautilus started, still watching the panicking
inklings outside "Going missing again... and Pearl too."
Leyla nodded, thinking about who it could be. For once the
Octarians were a good suspect but only if dj Octavio escaped his
snowglobe. Nautilus had told her about Tartar, but he was dead so
no. "You think-" Leyla started to speak, before stopping when
Nautilus nodded. Agents keep their identities a secret. And always.
