The hospital bustled with its usual controlled chaos. Nurses hurried through the halls, doctors rushed between patients, and researchers buried themselves in paperwork. To everyone else, Intern was just another young bunny trying their best.
No one knew the truth.
Not the doctors. Not the researchers.
Not even Intern.
Somewhere deep beneath the hospital, security footage flickered across a dozen monitors. One file remained highlighted in angry red.
ANOMALY DETECTED.
Every scan came back wrong. Every background check contradicted itself. Every attempt to identify what Intern truly was ended in static.
Orders had been clear.
Observe. If they become a threat... eliminate them.
The cat assigned to the case stood silently outside Intern's office, one paw resting on the holstered pistol beneath his jacket. He'd watched for weeks.
No attacks.
No strange behavior.
No victims.
Just an overworked bunny who smiled at patients, apologized too much, and stayed late to finish paperwork.
...It didn't make sense.
The door slid open. Intern nearly bumped straight into him, clutching a stack of files against their chest.
The cat didn't move.
Golden eyes studied the small rabbit for a long, quiet moment before he finally spoke.
Secret Agent
"...You're either the best liar I've ever hunted..."
His tail gave a slow, thoughtful flick.
"...or the first anomaly that's forgotten how to be one."
