Jay turned his head from the window as he saw Kay heading for the door. He quickly followed him with a frown. How could his partner just walk away when Elle was fighting for her life? Jay didn't want to be there either but they couldn't just leave and let her die alone.
Kay pushed the door to the medical lab open and hurried in. The doctor looked up in surprise when he saw the agent but quickly turned his attention back to Elle. The heart monitor was flatline again. Three fifty. Time was running out as he injected another round of drugs and shocked her heart again. He sadly shook his head. Nothing. His hand moved to the blanket that she was covered with and he started to pull it up over her face. "I'm sorry," he said.
"Elle!" Kay called as he hurried over to her side and pushed the docor's hand down so he couldn't cover her face. He leaned down close to her ear so she was sure to hear him if any life remained. "Elle, it's time to come back now." His fingers gently brushed her face, pushing back a lock of hair that had slipped across her icy cold forehead. "I know you can hear me. Come back." He looked up at his partner who was standing there with a confused expression on his face. "Slick, say something to her."
"Elle?" Jay said as he approached the table. He didn't know what Kay was doing. She was.... Jay shook his head as he forced himself not to think about that. Kay hadn't given up on her yet. Maybe there was some hope. "Elle, come on. Don't quit on us now. Come back."
Kay looked up at the doctor. "Try again," he said as he motioned towards the defibrilator.
The doctor shook his head but he picked up the paddles anyway and pressed them against her chest. He didn't want to argue with Kay. No one in the MiB with the possible exception of Zed wanted to argue with Kay.
"Kay, Jay?" Zed said as he came into the lab. He didn't know what those two thought they were doing. He stared sadly at Elle for a moment. He couldn't believe that she was gone.
Elle's body twitched again as the doctor shocked her heart. As her body slumped back lifelessly onto the table after the third jolt, it looked like it hadn't worked.
"Elle, come on! Come back! This isn't your time and you know it!" Jay whispered as Kay moved to her side again and took her hand. Suddenly, there was a beep and the three agents as well as the doctor jerked their heads around to stare at the heart monitor. The flatline weakly peaked and flattened out for a second. Peaked and flattened out.
"Come on. Time to come back now," Kay whispered into Elle's ear as the monitor continued its erratic motions, flickering between life and death.
