"What's going on?" Jay asked after a quick glance at Elle to make sure that the alarm had nothing to do with her condition. She was just fine, although from the frightened look in her eyes, the sound had spooked her.

"We've got bugs in the building!" Zed cried as he looked up from his communicator.

"One guess as to who they're here for," Kay said as he looked at Elle. "Where are they now?"

"They got in through immigration. They're boxed in down there right now. At least Agent I thinks all of them are still down there. Apparently they were hiding in an Antromite's luggage so it's possible some of them could have got past us." Zed looked worriedly at Elle. "Stay here and keep an eye on Elle. I'm going to go and find out what the situation is."

"It's okay," Jay said as Zed hurried out. "Those bugs aren't going to get anywhere near you. We'll have them on ice in no time."

Suddenly, the lights flickered. "What's going on?" Jay asked Kay as his partner pulled out his communicator and started to talk to the twins.

"Bug in the power grid," Kay said as they were suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Where's the backup power?" Jay called as he reached out and took Elle's hand. He didn't want to get disoriented and loose her in the dark.

A loud explosion echoed throughout the building. "That was the back-up power." Kay said.

Just then the two agents heard a loud frantic gasping sound. "Elle?" Jay cried as Kay pulled out a portable light so they could see what was going on. The blonde agent was struggling frantically clawing at the tube in her throat trying to pull it out. "Kay, what's wrong with her?" Jay demanded as he grabbed her hands to keep her from hurting herself. Her lips were starting to turn blue. Not good.

"The sedatives they gave her paralyzed her diaphragm and chest muscles. She can't breathe on her own." Kay said as he hurried over and started to unhook Elle from the respirator. "This might hurt a bit," he murmured as he pulled the tube out of throat.

Why did you do that for?" Jay asked.

"Wasn't doing her any good without the power." Kay said as he brushed his fingers against Elle's forehead for a moment to try to calm her. "We're going to help you."

Jay stared at Elle in horror. He didn't know how in the world they could help her now.
