Jay stared down at the paperwork while Kay moved off to a corner and started to contact Zed on his communicator. He didn't even know where to start on the forms. The nurse who had shoved the papers at him was back and glaring at him so he pulled out a pen and started to at least look like he was filling them out.
Age? Weight? What was he supposed to put for those? Elle would kill him if he put the wrong thing down. Didn't these people know that there were certain things you were absolutely not supposed to ask ladies, at least if you had plans to live to your next birthday. He skipped those questions for now and flipped to the next page. Definately not a better page! He stared in horror at the personal nature of the questions for a moment before jumping up and hurrying over to his partner. Kay could handle this!
"You're where?!" Zed demanded as Jay came over. The MiB head definately didn't sound happy and he hadn't even seen the paperwork yet, never mind the bill.
"Gravestown," Jay supplied as he glanced at the address on the paperwork and then frowned. "Gravestown? Kay, couldn't you have found, I don't know, a little more upbeat town?"
"Well, how is she?" Zed asked. He couldn't believe that he had sent three agents to handle a simple arrest and confiscation and something like this had happened. Sure, agents had be injured in the field before but never by something as ordinary as a snake and they had never been forced to take one to a civilian hospital before. He trusted Kay's judgement that it had been necessary but it was definately going to complicate things.
"They're working on her," Kay said as he glanced towards the treatment room. "She had one bite on her arm and another three on her face. It isn't very good."
"I have agents in route to take care of the Denubian situation. I'll dispatch a medical team as well. As soon as she's stable, I want Elle back here." Zed said.
"Better tell them to bring money and lots of it," Jay said. "These people are going to expect some sort of payment."
Just then the air in the waiting room was filled with a shrill electronic whine. Jay knew he had heard that sound before but he couldn't quiet place it.
"What's that?" Zed asked.
Suddenly, Jay realized what the sound was, a heart monitor going flatline. "Oh, no," he muttered as he frantically looked around the room but it was empty. Elle was the only patient the ER had at the moment apparently. "Oh, no!"
