Ghost of a Chance

Part 1: Haunting Sightings

'They may be the MIB…but can they fight, what they can't see?'

"He's making a run for that old house on the corner!" Agent Y shouted to his partner as she rounded the block with Agents Chase and Di close behind.

"Don't let him get away!" She shouted, struggling to get her Blaster to work.

Di turned to see Chase leap over the fence and make a mad dash to the rotting house where the perp had just entered through the hole in the porch.

"Why does he have to do everything the hard way?" Agent Di complained to no one in particular.

The agents surrounded the front porch. Staring at the small hole A inquired, "How in the name of Neptune did he fit through there?"

"How else," Y sneered swishing some of the goo away from the hole, "he liquefied himself."

"Well we'd better hurry and catch him," Di exclaimed, pulling some of the old boards away from the door, "Zed's gonna liquefy us all if we let this guy get away again."

Di reached forward to pull another board loose and found herself being pulled against instead. "AAAHHH!!!!!"

"What?" Chase asked looking at his partner as she was pressed firmly against the entrance.

"Something's got me genuis!"

"I don't see anything." Y shrugged as A tugged against the trapped agent.

"Whatever's got her isn't letting go." A announced.

Before another agent could speak there was a blood curdling scream from somewhere inside the house.

"Whoa…" Chase gasped, "spooky."

"Get. Me. Outta. Here!" Di demanded.

"Alright, alright." Y conceded, shoving A aside, "Weak little humans need my help with everything."

A was about to smack him when he and Agent Di were blow back on her. "HEY!"

A barrage of alien guts and slime rained down on the three agents. "Gross!" A snarled, pushing her partner off of her.

Agent Di glanced up at Chase to find him laughing, "Looks like we'll have to scoop up what's left of the perp and take him back to Zed," he snickered some more, "or you could just walk in there and wring your hair out!"

Di leapt to her feet, "Chase, I swear---and I MEAN IT THIS TIME---I'm gonna KILL YOU!"

Before she could lunge at him A grabbed her collar, "We're missing the point here," she said flatly, peering into the opening that Di had created by ripping off a few boards, "Something in that house just did this to our perp." she held out her gut drenched jacket for emphasis.

Y was about to comment on how she was overreacting and getting scared over nothing when strange noises started emanating from inside the house. "W-what was that?" Chase muttered.

Inhuman cries echoed through the opening, "Whatever it is--" Agent Di stated, backing away, "--I'm not stickin' around here to find out!"

"Oh c'mon Halloween Girl," Chase smirked, snatching her arm, "I thought you were into ghouls and goblins."

Di glanced over her shoulder at him, wearing her trademark mischievous smile, "I guess a ghoul lover like me has no choice but to enjoy herself when she gets stuck with a goblin like you."

A snickered, "You two do look like goblins when you're not wearing your human suits."

Y huffed, "Well you two look like ghouls 37-7."

He got elbowed in the ribs for that.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"What's that noise." A jerked her head around. All the agents watched in horror as something beat against the wooden boards that were keeping the door closed.

"This is like something out of a late night horror flick." Di squeaked.

"But-" Chase gazed at the opening in puzzlement, "-there's nothing there."

The other agents followed his gaze and noted that there was literally nothing behind the boards. Yet…there HAD TO BE SOMETHING…the boards were being pounded against before their very eyes!

"This is too weird for me." Agent A stated, taking out her communicator. "Zed?"

"Agent A," Zed's image appeared, but something was wrong, something was interfering with the signal. Zeds image blurred and it was all A could do to keep in contact, "Zed, I think there's something down here that you should know about."

"What's that?" he questioned, his voice cracking a bit.

"We chased our renegade alien to this abandoned house and something inside literally chewed him up and spit him back at us." A replied.

"Odd," Zed said thoughtfully, the connection was getting worse. "What does this 'thing' look like?"

"Uh well Sir," A stammered, looking up at everyone for an answer, her only response was a unanimous shrug , "that's the strange part, whatever it is, we can't see it."

Zed lifted an eyebrow, "Then go take a look."

"We are looking," A murmured, "there's just nothing there. It's like it's invisible."

This got Zed's attention. "Hmm…there are only a few alien races that I can think of off the top of my head with the ability to become invisible. Let me contact Zeeltor and see what he can tell us."

BANG!!!

A and Di screamed, Y and Chase jumped back. "Whoa, Sir," Agent Di peered over A's shoulder, "can we come back to HQ in the meantime. I mean, not to sound cowardly and all but these things want out." With a nervous laugh she added, "We may be the MIB, but we can't fight what we can't see."

"Ever the poet ay, Agent Di?" Zed's image mused, "Fine. I don't like the sounds of all that banging, whatever those things are they're either really big or really strong, or worse…both. Get back to HQ before you wind up like that Tiquilaz."

Another bang knocked three of the six boards off, revealing nearly all of the entrance. "You don't gotta tell me twice!" Chase blurted out. The four agents took off running for their vehicles three blocks down just as the last three boards were knocked off.
