“I will not allow this,” he said defiantly, crossing his arms in front of him as he did so. “May THRUSH liquidate me first!”

“Well, you’ve got part of that right,” the nurse said with a grin. “Besides, your partner went through the same thing earlier this morning. I can assure you, he survived.”

“Without his dignity intact, I’ll wager.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Kuryakin, but all enforcement agents are now required to have a sigmoidoscopy as part of their yearly physical exam. No exceptions. Up on the table now; we’ll get this part out of the way.”
