Cooper made his way down the hall and entered ElleÕs room. Elle had heard him coming and immediately played dead. She really hated him because he could be such a hassle. She had one of her eyes slightly open. It wasnÕt enough for him to tell, but she could see. He quietly walked in and stood there. It was as if he expected her to move. He leaned closer for a better look at her face and to prevent herself from being startled and giving herself away, she closed her eyes and waited for him to leave. He stood there for a moment. He hoped this would work. He placed the communicator on the table next to the bed and carefully walked out.
Elle waited until she was sure he was gone. She carefully opened her eyes and looked and found the MIB communicator on the table.
ÒExcellentÉ now I can tell Zed what happened before they storm the place looking for me and X.Ó she quietly said to herself to reassure herself that they could fix this entire thing with the quick flash of a neuralyzer. She tried to turn the device on and realized it didnÕt work. ÒNO! This canÕt be!Ó she yelled. ÒWe just put a new power cell in it!Ó she said as she unlocked the back panel and found the power cell gone. It had been removed.
ÒOkayÉ If we waitÉ theyÕre as good as dead, as Zealtor said. If we go inÉ we risk letting a LOT of people find out about us. Great. Stuck between a rock and a hard place!Ó said Jay.
ÒNot exactlyÉÓ said Kay. ÒIf we go in with neuralyzers drawnÉ we can get them out.Ó
ÒYeahÉ and what if we erase the memory of the person that knows where they are??Ó asked Jay. ÒThereÕs a LOT of rooms in that place!Ó
ÒFineÉÓ said Kay. ÒWhat would you suggest?Ó
ÒA disguise and a keen plan. Super mission impossible stuff.Ó He said. Zed spoke up.
ÒAnd thatÕs fine if the goal is to goof off and get caught.Ó Said Zed. He sighed. ÒAll of this because of some chocolate. I canÕt believe this happened.Ó
ÒI CANÕT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!Ó she said. She now had no way of contacting them and getting out of there with X in one piece. She started to think when she heard the door that had been open and against the wallÉ creak. Doctor Cooper stepped from behind it. He held the power cell in his hand.
ÒThis what youÕre looking for? I know about the alien guy.Ó he said as he waved the power cell. Elle knew she had lost this round.
ÒJust give me the damn power cell!Ó she said with a temper equivalent of EllisÕ temper. Cooper thought that to be kind of creepy.
ÒNot until you tell me who you areÉ where HE came from, and who is this ÔZedÕ.Ó He said. He thought he had the upper hand.
ÒNo way, buster!Ó she said as she turned over and faced the wall and tried to get back to sleep. She was going to play CooperÕs need for attention. She sat there for a few minutes before he gave in.
ÒFine!Ó he yelled. ÒBe that way!Ó he said. She turned.
ÒIf you donÕt give me that communicator cell, some people will be down on this hospital and tear it apart if and when they learn thereÕs something not of this world here! And to top it offÉ they arenÕt even MY people!Ó she said. He stood there thinking about what she said. ÒTheyÕll destroy this place and most likely you too for knowing about this.Ó
ÒAnd what can YOU do to stop it?Ó he asked.
ÒMy people will come in and take care of it with as little disturbance as possible. WeÕll leave everything as we found it.Ó
ÒAnd of course IÕll lose my discoveryÉÓ
ÒItÕs NOT your discovery. IÕm not supposed to say, but weÕve known about it for some time now. We try to keep the world safe from problems caused by this. One of those problems are the bad people that will come after you guys.Ó She said. HE paused. ÒIf you let them comeÉ theyÕll take you all to their place and destroy you for knowingÉ as WELL as the alien. If you let our people come in, we can clean this all up and take care of it without incident. You wonÕt even remember any of itÉÓ she said.
ÒEither way, I lose out.Ó
ÒBetter you lose this discovery than your lifeÉÓ she said. ÒNow give me that stupid power cell!Ó she yelled. He thought again. Coy and Ellis would NOT be happy. He handed it over to Elle. She stuck the cell in the back and turned the communicator over. She pressed some buttons and waited to see if it would do any good.
