It was a lovely spring day when the robins returned, the flowers bloomed and Bennet went crazy.

Oh, not crazy in the sense that you obsess over something for a bit. No, I'm talking about stark raving mad. So crazy that the attendants from Ponoka are waiting out back for you with straight jackets.

It had been a perfectly normal day. They had tracked Zeta and his accomplice to a perfectly normal town, AGAIN. They had trapped them in one certain area, AGAIN. Agent Lee had doubted Zeta's killer instincts, AGAIN. Agent West had messed up, AGAIN. The fugitive pair had escaped, AGAIN.

But something about this time had completely knocked Agent Bennet off his rocker. Agent Lee had suspected he was heading for a breakdown eventually, but neither she nor West had expected it to come so soon.

They had finally succeeded at tying him into a chair in the back room of the gorilla exhibit. Agent Lee leaned in worriedly. "Uh, sir? Are you *sure* you don't want us to bring in a doctor?"

"Agent Lee, I am perfectly fine." His serious expression broke into a crazy grin. "But I think I'm a clone now. And I can stay at home while I'm out of town!"

Agent Lee looked over at Agent West, who was sitting in a corner pouring over a worn up copy of 'Of Mice and Men'. "I could use a little help here West."

"Can't help. Busy reading."

She yanked up his book to reveal a lovely McDonalds Barbie Toy. You know the kind with the sparkling dress, poseable arms and real brushable hair? They were just so pretty that West had skipped to the nearest fast food court just to pick one up.

Placing the pointless, yet editor-attracting items, West took a long look at Bennet. "Truth is I have no idea what to do. I'm used to him being the one who thinks around here. When do you think his problems started?"

"Way back when I was just a little bitty boy," answered Bennet pensively. He paused, considered and continued. "Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop... You know the place... Well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was juuuuust peachy!!! Except of course for the undeniable fact that every single morning my mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast."

"Sauerkraut for breakfast?" questioned Agent Lee, raising an eyebrow.

"Sauerkraut for breakfast?" questioned Agent West, raising an eyebrow.

Bennet nodded. "Big bowl of sauerkraut! Every single mornin'! It was driving me crazy."

"Well now we know where he gets it from." Agent Lee stared at the clock. Only 7 more minutes until the Asylum people got there. Only 7 minutes and 14 seconds until the Asylum people got there. She would have remarked that it was also 7 minutes, 14 seconds and 12 milliseconds until the Asylum people got there, but only crazy people stare at clocks.

West banged his fist on the table. "This is insane! Here we are, stuck in the off limits area inside a zoo, while our fearless commanding officer rants in lyrics from some 90s polka artist, and Infiltration Unit Zeta is STILL out there!!"

West was indeed right. At that very moment, Zeta and Ro were caught up in another crazy adventure which ultimately resulted in many lovely moments for ZeeRo shippers. But since this has no effect whatsoever on this story, I won't mention it.

There was a knock at the door. Lee opened it. The attendants from the Holy Ponoka House of Crazy People quickly scooped up Bennet and dragged him off to the land of happy Popsicle.

Agent West leaned over to Agent Lee. "So..." he said slowly, "What now?"

Agent Lee shrugged. "There's always Oktober Fest."
