Girls from UNCLE Episode 8t

"I can't believe you let him get away." Sheppard grumbled a few minutes later as Elizabeth was tying an improvised bandage around his arm. She had to do so as Dr. Jennifer Keller was extracting the wooden shrapnel from Lorn's backside while Hornetta held his hand and smiled at him warmly.

"And you capture the bad guys every time I guess?" Ethel replied with the slightest tinge of sarcasm in her voice.

"Yes, stop complaining, we worked well together and even got your buddy a date." Piper said and gestured at Lorne who managed a smile in spite of having a sharp piece of wood eased from his buttocks.

"Anyway, we need to get these Wraith agents in jail, Starbuck back to the institute so I can finish deprogramming her and most of us girls need a change of clothes." Dr Weir said.

"Somebody managed to not even get dirty." Lexi said and looked grumpily at Ethel.

GFU-1 smiled and said, "If you have to fall down do it in an office with a nice clean floor, besides you look fine."

The redhead pointed to a tear in her dress and Marie observed, "I told you that dress was too tight."

"Could we stop talking about women's' clothes, you are all wearing too much anyway." McKay said then as eight women glared at him added, "I didn't mean to say that last part out loud."

"Maybe you should check out Michael's equipment." Evan suggested as Sheppard tried to control his laughter while smirking at his friend. Rodney nodded his head at the suggestion and turned away red faced.

Three days later back in NYC the Girls from UNCLE reported to their boss. "Michael managed to avoid the search for him and got clean away for the fourth time."

"But Dr. Weir managed to deprogram Kate and she is only half crazy as usual." Piper added cheerfully.

Kate sighed and said, "I have apologized to all of you multiple times and I resent this whole half crazy joke certain people have been making."

With a totally straight face Lexi said, "We are totally serious."

The blonde glared at her and said, "After I take Ethel in our sparring match you are going to be next. What are you laughing about?"

"At least Hornetta got a date with a nice man for a change." Marie said and added, "He is so honest and earnest, and he might make her go straight."

"We cannot have that," The Iron Bitch said and added, "it is a good thing he is in Canada."

Hornetta just smiled and then asked, "What will you call this boss, the Wraith Affair?"

Ethel Queen had been about to say just that. However just to be disagreeable she replied, "No we will call this the Atlantis Affair. You are all dismissed so Ethel can beat up Kate again."

GFU-3 looked around her and demanded, "So nobody thinks I am going to win?" When everyone shook their heads in negation she stormed out angrily.

An hour later the blonde slipped her aching body into the hottest water she could stand and thought, 'Oh well at least getting beat up by Ethel is better than being a brainwashed bimbo from Thrush! Maybe I will beat her one day.' Then she let the hot water soak her pains away and drifted off to sleep.
