Coke and Pepsi McDonald are agents for The Genius Files.
They are pretty darn young to be agents for anything but then again, every agent with The Genius Files is pretty darn young so they shouldn't feel too special but then again being determined to have genius IQs is special so ....
How these two youngsters got their unusual first names - and these are their actual names and not nicknames or pet-names or stuff like that - is pretty fun to read - I'll leave it up to you to get the first recorded adventure and do just that - but it starts with their father being a history professor at San Francisco State University and having written a book on the impact of coal in the Industrial Revolution. Trust me, the explanation is short and fun.
Now on to the bit about the organization they are agents for - well, will be if they live long enough.
Dr. Herman Warsaw was an American citizen who had been born in Poland but then moved to the States and he was really rich because he had invented a GPS thingie which you put under the skin of your pet so you always knew where the rascal (pet, not Dr. Warsaw) was. He then decided to spend his time being a consultant at the Pentagon. That is where he was on 9/11, except he had stepped out for a smoke break or else he would have been at his desk when the plane hit and he would have been dead. somehow that gave him the idea of using kid geniuses to, well, fix things - or replace them.
Anyways, it took a few years before his idea got government funding and with that money came the testing of every grad school kid of a certain age to find those who would qualify to be Young Kid Geniuses. That is when the sneakiness started and these kids "were being secretly recruited to carry out some of the government's most important-and dangerous-missions. Their kids would be like unmanned drones, assigned to solve the problems that could not be solved by adults".
Coke and Pepsi McDonald were two of those kids. They just don't know it. Nor do they have any idea why suddenly all sorts of strange people start trying to kidnap them or chase them or even - yep - kill them. Luckily, these two are pretty smart. Heck, they are geniuses!
Good Lines:
- According to the quote before the first adventure, "Do stupid stuff, and even stupider stuff will happen to you." - Nobody said this but somebody should have."
