Jack Jeebs
It's nearly lunchtime and Agent W is getting hungry. She used to be able to go for hours without as much as a slice of bread striving off cigarettes and coffee alone but too many years spent in an institution have made her cling to the schedule of three meals a day.
"You alright Agent?" Kay asks getting the door to his old reliable LTD, Jay can keep the flash car as long as Kay gets to drive his baby.
W looks at him, "You know me sugar I'm never not alright." She smiles trying to be all big and brave. She couldn't even dream of telling Kay how she really felt it would make his head explode. "Hungry," she admits giving him a little to wet his tongue. She slides into the car glad she went with the pants and not the skirt.
"We can get something to eat on the way."
"And the world will end when we are in the queue?" She jokes but neither smiles, as it was too close to the truth. "When people say I'll die for a dog they rarely mean it." She adds.
Kay wants to be serious tough agent guy but he can't stop recalling the taste of her in his mouth or that the last time they were alone in the car together he had her on the back seat.
"Kay?" She asks dragging him back to the moment at hand.
"Mmm?" He asks.
"Drive!"
Kay nods feeling like an idiot and springs the car into life. There is still one hell of an awkward silence between them as the car races down the street. At least if Jay was here he would provide a distraction with his endless jabbering. Kay's mind is searching for a way out of this some sort of diversion technique. The tape, big chunky A track full of the king. He reaches for it and shoves it in the player.
The familiarly of the music works taking their minds off the fact that they could both die any minute and how much they want to screw each other. Finally Kay feels like he is in control. After all they have work to do.
The LTD screeches to a halt outside of Jeebs' Pawnshop, Kay opens the door for the lady. "Still playing the gentleman sugar?" W smiles.
Kay nods, "Yes ma'mm."
They enter the shop together just like old times, despite the fact they were never partners they used to work together a lot. Jeebs near enough has a heart attack, Kay on his own is one thing but with the agent affectionately known as the bull crusher is quite an other.
"Howdy Jeebs," she smiles making him very nervous.
"But your dead!"
She smiles again, "And you're a stool pigeon so be a good little birdie and sing for momma." She says reaching for her gun.
"I don't know nothin' I swear," Jeebs answers.
"Of course you don't because you don't know what song we want you to sing," W answers.
"Listen carefully Jeebs I'll only say this once, Pandora's box, what do you know?" Kay asks wondering who Jeebs finds more intimidating him or W.
"I can't tell you Kay, they'll kill me."
"That means you do know something," W says. "You know how trigger happy he is, I would love to help you keep your latest attempt of a human face but even I can't stop him when he gets that twinkle in his eye." She warns taking the role of good cop, "Give him something, a name, a time or I'll be washing green goo out of my hair for ages."
To illustrate this point Kay takes out his gun aiming right at the alien's head.
"Please sugar, we can help you if you help us." W urges, "Should Kay shoot you any way to cover you? Then you can tell them that he shot you, yeah there's a thought." She loves it when a plan comes together; she looks at her fellow agent. "Shoot him Kay."
Kay is all too happy to oblige. An explosion of green goo is all that is left of his head. It doesn't take him too long to grow it back complaining that Kay's an insensitive jerk. W laughs.
"I had it in here years back when Alpha was still in black and you two were making googly eyes at each other," Jeebs answers and the agents exchange looks. "Like that," he adds.
Kay's hand reaches for his gun again but W shakes her head, "You sold it, an illegal alien artefact? To who?"
"A human," he answers and W knows all of this its old news.
"You sold it to Alpha but that was a long time ago I need something a bit more recent," W snaps losing her temper.
"He's going to open it, he set it on some kinda time lock."
"Why now Jackie-boy?" She asks.
"Because he wants a diversion," he answers.
W whips her gun out pointing it under his chin, "Why?"
"I don't know!" Jeebs yells.
"He's lying, shoot him." Kay glares, "Or I will."
"I swear to god, I don't know!"
"Why are you lying Jeebs?" Kay asks, "I hate it when you lie it really upsets me."
W is getting whiplash listening to these two, "I don't like it when you feed me a lot of crap either, now please tell me why he wants a diversion or it will be more than your head that you lose."
