Elle and the Bug
Kay and Jay were heading back to the crash site when they heard a cracking noise.
"The bug!" Kay muttered as she started to creep silently forward and motioned for Jay to follow him.
A moment later they spotted the bug by the crash site. Jay pulled his noisy cricket and was about to fire when Kay put a hand on his arm and stopped him. He pointed at the bug and Jay saw what his partner had noticed immediately. Elle was held in the creature's claws. She was deathly pale and unmoving. They couldn't use lethal force against the bug as long as he had her. There was too big a risk that she would be caught in the crossfire.
"MiB!" Kay called as he stepped out of the trees with his icer drawn. If necessary, he could freeze both Elle and the bug. The rapid freezing would protect her from perminent injury long enough for them to capture the bug and get her back to headquarters to be thawed. "Release the agent and put your appendages in the air!"
Suddenly the bug threw Elle at the two agents and darted for the trees. Kay fired off a shot as he darted over to Elle but he missed. Jay looked at him questioningly as Kay knelt by Elle.
"Go after him, Slick! I'll take care of Elle!" Kay called as Jay turned and raced for the woods.
Elle had landed face down by a tree. Kay carefully rolled her over onto her back and begin to quickly survey the extent of her injuries. Her left arm was covered with blood and the skin around her lips was a blueish color. He tilted her head back and put his ear by her mouth but he didn't feel or hear any sign of breathing. He pinched her nose closed and quickly blew four times into her mouth before feeling in her neck for a pulse. Again, there was nothing. Kay positioned his hands and started CPR, rapidly pressing down on her breastbone. He hoped more agents returned soon.
