The next morning, Steve woke up sick. He walked downstairs and grumbled.

"Oh, sweetie, what's wrong?" Francine asked.

"Mommy, I'm sick." He complained.

"Do you need to stay home from school today?" Francine asked.

"Weelllllll, I suppose I could..." Steve said, "I'll be on the couch." He walked into the other room and sat on the couch, grabbing the clicker.

"Aren't you going to school?" Klaus asked.

"Nope." Steve said, sounding a lot better.

"Pretending to be sick?" Klaus asked.

"Yep," Steve said, "We have to watch the next season of Criminal Minds! I'll go to school tomorrow."

"Ooh, someone's being deceitful." Klaus said, sounding very amused.

**Meanwhile**

Stan walked into work the next morning like any other day. He had noticed the crooked flag pole, but didn't bother to question it. He clearly didn't know where or what Roger was doing last night. He started to walk over to his desk when he was stopped by his boss.

"Smith!" Bullock said as he walked over to him.

"Yes, sir?" Stan asked.

"Remember that alien that escaped from Area 51 a couple years ago and then we found it again later?" Bullock asked.

Stan was on edge, "Umm... no, I mean, yes, I remember, but umm... maybe, sure why not, what about it?" He asked swiftly.

"It seems as though it has returned yet again." Bullock said.

"That's crazy. Are you sure it's not some sort of mistake?" Stan asked.

"No. Last night we found it lurking by the CIA. We tried to capture it, but it escaped. But this time, we'll catch it for sure. That's why I called in a professional alien hunter. Smith, meet Ally." Bullock said as Ally walked in.

"Nice to meet you." Ally greeted Stan in a friendly manner, reaching out to shake his hand.

"...I don't know, sir. She seems pretty young to me." Stan said to Bullock.

"Nonsense. Ally, how many aliens have you caught?" Bullock asked.

"Multiple." She responded.

"Works for me. And look at her anti-alien tattoo," Bullock noted, "why would she get that if she weren't serious about her job?"

Ally stood there looking proud of herself. She almost seemed like a dog to some extent, ready to do what she was told and fed off the praise. But still, she seemed independent as if she only worked for herself.

"Ok, but it still seems like a bit much to call in an alien hunter. I'm sure we can catch him- I mean, 'it' - this time." Stan said.

"I'm not willing to take that chance," Bullock said, then handed Ally a couple pictures of Roger, "Here, Ally, this is the alien you'll be hunting."

Upon looking at the pictures, Ally seemed a little shocked as if she had recognized Roger from somewhere, "Oh my God... it's him." She said quietly.

"What was that?" Bullock asked.

"Oh, nothing," Ally said.

"You know that alien?" Bullock repeated what he thought he heard.

"Oh- oh, I've dealt with this one before," she said quickly, "he's a slippery one, but I've been tracking him down for awhile now and I'm close to catching him. I'll have him for you in no time." It sounded almost as if she were lying.

Stan caught on to this and became suspicious. He narrowed his eyes.

**Later**

"Roger!" Stan yelled once he walked in the front door.

"Shh!" Steve hushed, "We're in the middle of learning about Emily Prentiss's backstory- I mean... oww, you're making my headache worse."

"What, Stan?" Roger asked as he walked downstairs.

"Where exactly were you last night?" Stan asked.

"Well, first I went to a bar and met this girl who's apparently an alien hunter, then I got drunk and drove by the CIA. Then they saw me and I ran away," Roger said.

"Why would you do that?" Stan asked.

"Relax, I got away, it's not a big deal." Roger said.

"It's a huge deal!" Stan exclaimed, "the CIA hired an alien hunter and now she's after you!"

"She? ...did she have tattoos and go by Ally?" Roger asked.

"Yes." Stan said, "The girl you met at the bar?" Roger nodded. "Roger, when Bullock gave her nude pictures of you, she seemed to recognize you."

"I told you we met at the bar, but I was wearing a disguise. I don't see how she could have seen through it, she didn't even seem to notice that I wasn't human which is strange since she's a professional alien hunter. Then again, she was a little tipsy." Roger said.

"She said she had been tracking you down for awhile, but I think she may have been lying. Roger, do you know her from somewhere else?" Stan asked.

"She did seem familiar, but I can't remember where I know her from." Roger said.

"Well, you'll have a lot of time to think about it. You're not leaving this house until this blows over." Stan said.

"I can't go out even in disguises?" Roger asked.

"No, it's too dangerous,"

"But I need to see Ally again!" Roger said, "I could probably just figure out a way to ask her if she knows me,"

"That's out of the question." Stan said, "You'll be putting yourself, and more importantly, this entire family in jeopardy." He then walked out of the room as if to end the discussion.

Roger wasn't going to let that be the end of it. He was determined to see Ally again. He looked up, Steve was crying at the episode of Criminal Minds. Klaus was watching attentively.

"Are you crying?" Roger asked.

"I'm sick and my eyes are running!" Steve retorted.
