Moreau Compound
Story by Gever on SoFurry
This is based on the Island of Dr Moreau
The New Ranger
Sarah tidied up the cabin, 'nearly done' she thought 'now where's that pesky Annabelle got to?' she wondered. Taking out a metal whistle Sarah blew it and a brown bipedal fur came bounding into the cabin sitting room.
“Yes?" the fur yipped, “You're supposed to be helping me clean this place up for the new ranger not playing with those squirrels"
“Aw… but that's boring, plus why can't you stay as the ranger, everyone's used to you." Anna replied.
“It maybe boring but it has to be done and as for me staying the ranger it's not my decision to make" The blond ex-ranger answered.
“But why… everyone's going to be upset… some will be angry…" the dog girl respond.
“I have my orders, and as for the other's being upset, I'm allowed to visit from tíme to time, they'll just have to learn to accept the change… as will you…" Sarah retorted.
“It's not fair…" Annabelle pouted.
“Life's not fair Anna, you learn to accept it." Sarah quoted… “Now you going to help me or not?"
The dog girl sighed “Fine…"
Some time later…
“There… it's goes quicker with help" Sarah said… Now the whole cabin was tidy…
“Yeah…" Annabelle whined…
“Now don't start that, I told you I can come back to visit…" Sarah quipped
“It's not the same… but I'm glad you're not gone for good… I still want you to stay" Annabelle responded
“I know… you never know… you might like the new Ranger…" Sarah
“Doubtful…" the dog girl huffed
Just then Sarah's pager beeped, she unhooked it and looked at the display “They've arrived…. time to meet my replacement" turns to Anna “You want to meet them?" Sarah asks
“No…" Anna spat
“Too bad, cause I'll be bringing them here…" Sarah retorted
Sarah walked out of the cabin, strolled to the jeep and drove to the compound entrance, stopped got out and went inside… she would be in for a shock…
Later at the waiting area...
“Tara, are they here?" Sarah asked the secretary
Tara the brunette look up “They're here alright… yet they're not what I was expecting" she answered.
“What does that mean?" Sarah queried
“You'll see…" Tara replied
Sarah quirked an eyebrow, shrugged and head towards the waiting room, grasping the door handle, depressing it and pushed the door open…
She stopped… she blinked… There sat waiting... was a guy… and no one else
'There must some mistake here' she thought…
“Ranger Fisk?" the man queried.
He knew her surname… this seemed like some sort of sick joke or prank…
All Sarah could do was nod...
“Carl Perkins…" the man introduced himself
“You're the new Ranger?" Sarah queried
“Correct" He answered.
'Someone, somewhere had made a big error or there had been a mix-up' she thought
“You're not what I was expecting…" Sarah finally stated
“Really?" Carl quipped
“I was expecting… a Female Ranger…" Sarah bluntly stated
“Oh?... Well this is Moreau Compound, section GF right?" Carl asked
"That's right" Sarah answered
"Well, then I have the right place then" Carl stated
“Can I see your transfer papers? Just to make sure…" Sarah asked hesitantly
“Sure" Carl answered handing the documents over to the blonde.
Scanning the papers Sarah saw that everything was in order… but that was nuts… this guy should be in the GM section…
“I need to make a phone call" Sarah said handing the paper back
“I'll wait" Carl responded
Walking back to the security see took one look at Tara… “Phone… now!"
Tara handed the phone to Sarah, who dialed up a number quickly “Mike… what the hell is going on?!" she spat down the phone.
“That's Mr Richards to you Sarah and what are you talking about?" the voice at the other end answered
“I'm talking about my replacement and the fact that it's a GUY!" Sarah spat down the phone
“This was put together by the board… even though a female ranger was promised, they choose to have the GM replacement be moved to the GF section" Mr Richard nonchalantly replied.
Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing… “Are they Insane?! GM has Male Rangers and GF has Female Rangers… that's how it's been for almost 9 years!"
“Don't worry about the Female replacement she was given another job elsewhere…" Mr Richards replied
A little relieved by that… however that didn't help the current situation.
“This is highly irregular!" Sarah retorted
“The decision has been made…" Mr Richards said
“This will end badly for him… and think of the girls… they've never seen a male for 9 years!" Sarah shot back.
“Then it's about time… don't you think?" Mr Richards calmly retorted…
“Sir…" Sarah began
“No… the matter is closed, goodbye!" Mr Richard snapped back and hung up
Sarah stared blankly at the disconnected phone… “This is unbelievable!" she spat
“Guess we're stuck with him…" Tara murmured..
Sarah gave her an icy stare… sighed handed back the phone.
“This will end badly… mark my words…" Sarah said vehemently
She walk back to the waiting room… took another look at the guy… pinched the bridge of her nose 'I can't believe this!" she thought.
“Anything the matter?" Carl asked
Sarah composed herself… “No… it seems you're our… guy" she gritted her teeth on the last word.
He stood up, at full height Carl was 6ft5 a lean to muscular, Sarah paused… “I hope you're not wearing deodorant"
That was a first “I am… why?" Carl asked
Sarah rubbed her eyes… “Animals are sensitive to smells… you need to smell neutral…"
She went into a nearby office and came back with scent neutralizer spray… handed to him “Here… spray this… It should help" Sarah piped
Carl looked bemused “They're just animals…"
'Oh, big mistake bub, you have no idea…' she thought “Use… it…" she hissed
“Okay, okay… whatever you say…" Carl retorted… he uncapped the sprayer… and sprayed over his clothes… and under them.
“Right… now… please follow me…" Sarah scowled...
Carl walked behind her.
