Team Extreme – Episode 2: McNulty!

If you haven’t yet read episode 1, then please click here. Don’t forget, there are 4 “I *heart* Team Extreme” badges left to be claimed from my personage. Congratulations to Emma for getting the first one.
The atmosphere in the Team Extreme HQ was sticky with anticipation. The nervous energy was palpable, especially from young JLS who didn’t seem to be able to handle the disruption to his usual routine. Big Poppa P kept a watchful eye over his young apprentice, to ensure that he didn’t crumble into gibbering wreck. The arrival of McNulty was playing on all of their minds.
POB supervised as Goot and Webbo carefully hung a “Welcome McNulty!” banner above the fireplace. POB was concerned that they hadn’t taken a copy of the banner, in case anything happened to it.
“You’re only as good as your last backup!” exclaimed the moustachioed leader.
“Actually, you’re only as good as your last verified backup,” retorted Webbo. Nobody present could disagree with the assessment of the situation.
Eed sat and watched from the comfort of the sofa. He was looking painfully thin, bordering on skeletal. He’d managed to avoid any further inquisitions from Big Poppa P about his eating habits. It was all very worrying. Cozzy was on his phone to Derek Acorah, the famous scouse pyschic. He was discussing the possibilty of a ghost invading the Team’s Angelsey retreat. He was worried that the ghost was going to get stuck in his kayak. I won’t go into details of the conversation, but you can only imagine that Team Extreme will go and investigate the ghostly goings on in a subsequent episode, so don’t worry.
The doorbell rang. Everybody froze. This wasn’t particularly conducive to the door being answered, so Big Poppa P pulled himself together and went to see who was there. Could it be the mysterious McNulty?
Yes, it could.
Yes, it was!
McNulty strode into the parlour like a angry lion being forced to watch the Chuckle Brothers. His eyes immediately locked onto the welcome banner that T.E. had taken so long to create. JLS shed a little tear of happiness that their hard work was being appreciated. The happiness wasn’t to last long.
“That banner is blue,” exploded McNulty. ”Everybody knows that banners should be red! You people are pathetic. I can’t believe you had a blue banner. It’s not even hung straight.”
JLS openly wept. This time, his tears were full of sorrow.
“Anyway, I’m outta here,” continued the ranting McNulty. ”I’ve already been seconded to the same mission as Hitchers and Theo. You’re going to need a sub-sub.”
With that, he left the HQ, with the entire team shaken to their very core. What on earth would they do now?
To be continued…

What a twist to the tale. Does this mean what I think it means and McNulty is now a resident of the East Annexe headquarters. What a loss to team extreme. How will they recover from this latest blow. Make sure you look after JLS I don’t think he is strong enough to handle this downslide of events. Good luck team I am right behind you in your impossible mission to survive the turmoils of the restructuring WBC.
I’m not really at liberty to disclose the full details of McNulty’s departure, other than to say that, yes, you’re right. It’s going to be tough without him, but Team Extreme always manage to find a way. Stay tuned to find out exactly what happens next (hint – I think they’ll be investigating Cozzy’s caravan: http://poursomegravyonme.co.uk/2010/06/02/theres-a-ghost-in-my-caravan/ )
I keep a watchful eye on poor JLS on a permanent basis. His young heart is so fragile.
