"So, could anyone explain to me how in the hell this could've happened!?"
Augustus' sudden raise in his voice was unsettling to the 3 border guards that he was questioning, as was the sarcasm detected in his voice. They were at a small clearing in the woods just to the east of Celadon City, only a short distance away from the electric fence which was supposed to keep each and every illegal immigrant from entering Celadon City. Key words 'supposed to.' The issue in this case was right at their feet. A small hole had recently been dug, it was just barely large enough for a human to fit inside. Just on the other side of the fence a similarly sized hole could be seen. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that these holes were opposite ends of a small tunnel, which at least one person had used to crawl underneath the fence, and slip past the border guards, and into Celadon City proper. What had happened was so infuriating to Augustus that he now went on a loud rant, with venom practically dripping from his mouth, "I scour the world, looking for people who are the best at what they do to work in this city, because our way of life is something that I will stop at nothing to preserve. All I ask for, is some semblance of competence from the guards who patrol our border. BUT NO! Somehow, someone digs a tunnel under the fence without anyone seeing, and gets past what is supposed to be the best security force IN THE WORLD!! What? Were all of you taking an hour long bathroom break at the same time? Were you lollygagging in dream land? I can't think of any other ways that this could've happened!!" Augustus was practically yelling now as the three guards stood still as lumps formed in their throats. "This border is supposed to be unbreachable! If word of this gets out, more people will try something like this, and based on what I've seen so far, they shouldn't have a hard time getting in!"
Seeing the sight of the intimidating guards staring at him with a look of fear in their eyes, Augustus felt that he had made his point and decided to finish up with an ultimatum, "Cover those holes up right now." The Celadon Administrator paused for a moment before saying, "I'll be issuing a statement to you, and the rest of the guards who patrol this border when I get back to HQ. If any more holes are found, I'll have the guards responsible deported." Some people would find such terms harsh and cruel, but when it came to the protection of Celadon City, complacency was not an option, nor was it something to be tolerated. Augustus then walked along a path, away from the border fence, and towards the residential district of the city. He walked for about 10 minutes before the many estates and mansions of the district came into sight.
