The LTD pulled to a stop in the garage and Zed and Jay got out. Jay had been so diappointed that he hadn't been allowed to drive back. He was surprised to see that the garage was filled with agents, even the worms had turned out for Elle's safe return. "I hope they're ready for this," Jay murmured to Zed as he looked towards the backseat of the car.
"Looks like we have quiet the audience," Kay whispered as he and Elle looked out the windows. They had spent a week relaxing at the cabin, with Elle slowly regaining her strength as they explored the pleasures of married life. Now they were back in their normal world once more and they weren't quiet prepared for the shock.
"Are you sure you want to go out there?" Elle said. "You know this backseat seat is nice and comfy. Plenty of room for two."
As much as I want to, I don't want to risk giving Zed a heart attack when he guesses why we aren't getting out," Kay said as he leaned over and kissed his wife's soft lips before taking her hand and reaching for the door handle. "Come on. Let's make our announcement and then I believe there's a nice bed just waiting for us."
The crowd of agents quietened as Kay emerged from the car, followed a second later by Elle, clinging to his hand.
"Everyone, thank you for coming down here," Elle said as they faced the crowd. "You won't believe how happy I am to know that so many people were concerned about me. Jay and Kay told me how many people went out of their way to help me, donating blood to save my life. I want to thank you so much for that, for your helping me get a second chance at life."
"And we have a reason to be even happier. While we were away, Elle and I were married," Kay said as he reached out, pulling her against him and softly kissing her on the lips. The room was totally silent at the sight of this, except for a shocked gasp and muttering about how this must be against the rules from Agent U. Then one agent begin to applaud followed quickly by another and another until the entire garage begin to thunder with the sound of clapping.
