"I think we're in trouble," Elle whispered with a soft chuckle as Jay hurried out.
"Tell me about it. Who knows what the kid will tell Zed?" Kay said as he slipped out of the bed and headed after Jay, buttoning his shirt and pulling on his jacket as he went. "Be right back."
"Well, how is Elle?" Zed asked as Jay came back into the cabin's living room and picked up the communicator.
"Oh, she's in really good..." Jay started to say as Kay came hurrying in and snatched the communicator from his partner.
"Elle's just fine," Kay told Zed, glaring at Jay all the while so he wouldn't say a word. "She's just resting. So, how's the bug situation? Are they all contained yet?"
"We've got most of them but one or two of the things managed to slip away from us," Zed grumbled. "I've got agents combing headquarters and the city looking for them now. Until they're found, it isn't safe for Elle to be brought back here. Do you think you'll be safe where you are for a few days?"
"We'll be fine. So, do the doctors have any special instructions for taking care of Elle?"
"I know what isn't on their instructions, I'll bet," Jay muttered under his breath, earning him another glare from his partner.
"Nothing special. Just keep her in bed. Keep her warm. Let her rest as much as she can. She's going to be pretty weak since the blood transfusion wasn't completed. I think the medics said she was missing about a fourth of her blood."
"I'll take care of her. Don't worry about that," Kay said as he ended the transmission and then turned to face his partner. "Slick, we need to have a little talk."
