Jay sat on the couch in the living room debating what he should do for the rest of the night. He really wanted to try to go back to sleep but somehow he doubted he would get much rest with knowing what was going on in the other bedroom. He winced as he heard Elle giggle and then let out a soft moan. He really wasn't old enough for this!
Just then the communicator beeped and he snatched it up before the sound could disturb the happy couple in the bedroom. "Hi, Zed. What's up?" he said as the head of MiB appeared.
"We finally caught the last bug so it's safe for Elle to come home now," Zed informed him. "Where's Kay? I need to talk to him."
"Uh, Kay? He's....uh...." How in the world was he going to get out of this? He couldn't tell Zed what Kay was up to, what it was becoming very obvious that Kay was up to! Zed would have a heart attack! "He's taking care of Elle right now. Can't come be disturbed."
"How is she? Feeling any better?" Zed asked.
"Oh, I think she's feeling a whole lot better," Jay said. "She's in bed right now."
"Good. After what happened, she needs her rest. So, when can you get back here?" Just then Zed noticed a funny noise in the background of the call. "What's that sound?"
"The babbling brook? Nature's so noisy!" Jay said as he quickly hurried onto the porch before Zed could hear anything else. "Now about coming home. Could we wait on that for a few days? Elle seems pretty comfortable here, after all and I'm sure that all of this nice fresh country air is good for her."
"Maybe," Zed murmured. He supposed that the three agents could use a break and being in a different setting might help Elle recover faster. If only he was sure that her condition was stable. He didn't want to take any chances with her. "Are you sure that she's alright?"
"Just fine. She just needs a lot of rest," Jay assured him. "So, do you mind if we stay up her for awhile?"
"I suppose it will be alright. Just tell Kay to call when he has the chance," Zed said as he cut off the transmission.
