The Agency Pt 7 <Doughboy>

Over the next week there had been several more cases where people have died or been injured by the thing they fear most but when authorities arrived at each scene there is no sign of anything. There were no leads at all and no clues. That was until one man faced his fear and survived unharmed.

The agent headed to a Mr. Duncan's house using his F.B.I. disguise. "What can I do for you agent...?" the man asked as the agent flashed his badge.

"Agent Sims," Sims is the name used for all aliases by the agent, "I have a few follow questions about what you reported yesterday to the police yesterday."

"I told them everything I could, not sure they believed any of it though." Mr Duncan answered.

"That's why I am here, now start at the beginning and try to leave anything out."

"Well," the man scratched at his balding head recalling the incident, "I came home from work, I do construction work for a living which isn't easy because I am claustrophobic and I often have to get into tight space. Well as I walked down the hall way and the walls started come in on me.

"Doctors told me it was mind playing tricks on me because of my phobia, but I know it was real, I could feel the walls pressing against my skin," he lifted his shirt sleeve, "You can even some bruising where it pressed up on me. I then took a deep breathe and repeated to myself, wide open spaces, it's a relaxation technique my doctor taught me for if I get nervous in a situation like that.

"Just then the walls pushed back into place and swear I heard a voice, I couldn't tell what it said, perhaps it didn't really say anything or maybe it was in my head I don't know. I went to see my doctor to talk about this but he didn't seem to believe anything I said about,

I also informed the police afterward about the possibility of an intruder in my house but after mentioning what happened they shunned me away as if I were a nut, so how did you know about this any how?"

"Thank you for all the information Mr Duncan," the agent said as he walked out the door. He called up his boss in the car, "I have a lead, I think we might be dealing with a super mutant but until we can actually find him we can't stop him."

"This is good news," his boss replied, "Now that he knows we are onto him he might slip up allowing us to catch him."

"Or even better," the agent replied, "He might come for me."

"How are you going to fight something that attacks people with their biggest fears?"

"You forget, I fear nothing."
