Just a Tourist: Part 3
*******************
"So what's the word on our tourist, Elle?" Kay asked.
Jay and Zed were there as well. They were in a room separate to another, which could be seen through a thick glass-like window. Inside the adjacent room was Katra on the middle of the floor.
"Well, first we patched him up as best we could. The weapon used on his shoulder appears to have been a Tekaerian plasma blaster. According to our diagnostics, he is a bug. However, his suit doesn't appear to be taken from a human. Instead, it comes from the pendant he wears around his neck."
"Some new form of technology?" asked Zed.
"Maybe. It was a bit odd to study. We couldn't take it off him. When we tried, it would emit some kind of energy pulse and render the equipment around it useless. Not to mention it didn't feel good either," Elle paused and then continued, "Its technology is advanced. We couldn't fully evaluate how it works exactly. It has certain properties that which we cannot identify at all. Another thing that is a bit peculiar is that although it's a suit, it seems to be a part of him."
"What do you mean a part of him?"
"You two noticed his wound when you brought him in right?"
Kay and Jay nodded.
"He bled red blood," noted Kay.
"Exactly. His suit seems to almost give him a true human quality. My theory is that this was done so that he could blend in easier with the public. If he got a cut or scrape, it would be a bit conspicuous if he were to bleed greenish goo. It is some very advanced and smart technology."
"What about the other object that was found?"
"Ah yes, the object. It was found not to far from the body. It is oval in shape. Smooth, metallic, and shiny. It is still under study."
"What? You mean you haven't come up with anything yet?" asked Zed, a bit irately.
"Seems like Elle's loosing her edge," commented Jay with grin.
Elle gave him a look that quickly made him retreat back a step.
"Hey, hey, no offense of course, I mean I'm sure you're doing your best," and then quickly looked back at the large window, evading her angry glare.
Elle quickly regained her sense of calm and turned to Kay and Zed.
"So what about the woman that was tied up in the back of the car?"
"That was Kassandra Henderson, adopted daughter of a Candrethian of royal descent. No doubt whoever was trying to kidnap her wanted to do so for ransom. She's human and has no idea of her fathers true identity," Zed answered.
"What does she think about everything that's going on now?" Elle asked.
"Right now she's clueless. She believes we are with the FBI and saved her from a kidnapper. We are going too keep her here a little bit longer for us to ask her more questions on what she saw. If she saw nothing we will let her go, and have her put under surveillance incase the kidnapper comes back."
"So where do you think the bug falls into this?" Elle said as she turned to the window.
"We aren't sure yet."
"Hey, I think he's waking up," Jay interrupted.
Katra woke up with a groan. "I feel like I was hit by a truck. Oh wait, I was," he mumbled quietly to himself. He looked at his wrist, and then got up and looked around quickly, starting to panic.
"Mira? MIRA!"
*****************
Else where, a couple doors down the hall.
"I'll be right back Gee, I need to go get something." said Agent Em.
"Alright," responded Gee
Agent Em left and Agent Gee was left alone in the room with the silvery object that was on the middle of the table. He was jotting down some notes.
"Voice pattern confirmed and located," a voice interrupted the silence.
Gee looked around baffled.
"You are Agent Gee, correct?" came the voice again.
"Uh-uh yeah…" he answered slowly as he got up and looked around, and then realized the voice was coming from the object.
"Is Master Katra well?"
"Who? Uhmm…" before he could say anything else the object started to levitate, and then change shape. It's sized stayed roughly the same, however its saucer like round shape changed into something more like a sleek and silvery, miniature stealth bomber.
Gee gasped and quickly pulled out a communicator.
************
Back to Elle and the rest of the gang.
They all watched curiously as Katra got up and starting calling out a name or word. Which, they did not know.
Kay's communicator started to beep. He quickly answered it.
"Sir, I don't know what happened, but I think the object is coming to you right now!" said an alarmed Gee.
Kay put away the communicator and pulled out his gun, as did Jay. The others became alert. Suddenly in the adjacent room a flat triangular object burst in, making a flat whole in the metal wall. Everyone blinked.
Katra put his right hand in a fist and held out his arm outward.
"Mira!" he called out again.
Instantly the object flew at his arm; as it did it changed shape. It seemed to wrap and mold around his wrist and went down toward his elbow but stopped half way.
"Glad you're back and OK," he told Mira in another language.
His attention was brought to a door, which suddenly opened, and two agents came in, armed. Katra would see that there were more waiting outside, ready for anything.
"Where are we Mira?" he whispered, again in another language, as he backed up slowly, tensing up in a fighting stance.
"We are in a maximum prison cell located at MiB headquarters," she answered in plain English.
"Aw crap," he said in English as well.
"We could do this the easy way, or the hard way," Kay warned.
Katra sighed as he relaxed and stood up straight, waiting for the agents to ask him questions. There was no point in making them fear him even more, and it was to late to try to escape. The damage was done. He'd have to contact home about this.
"Good. Now who are you, and what are you doing on earth?" asked Kay.
"My name is Katra, and believe it or not, I was just visiting."
Elle and Zed watched from the other room.
"His English is pretty good," commented Elle. This was an odd occurrence, since it appeared that most bugs that came to earth all had a thick slurring voice that was very distinguishable.
Kay raised an eyebrow as he looked at the person before him.
"Visiting? Then what were you doing in the alley along with Miss Henderson and her assailant," asked Jay.
Katra blinked. "Did it ever occur to anyone that I was trying to help?" he asked, a bit angrily. He understood why they mistrusted him, but that didn't mean he had to like it. He winced as he felt his shoulder throb, and reached for it.
"If you wish to have proper treatment for your shoulder you are going to have to take off the suit," stated Kay.
Katra nodded. The suit was in fact causing more trouble then it was suppose to. It wasn't allowing his body to heal properly. He slowly reached for his pendant, and squeezed it. There was a bright flash of light.
Jay took a step back and shielded his eyes a bit. Kay, in contrast, didn't move at all.
The light left as quickly as it came.
Jay finally looked. He took in a large breath of air as his jaw dropped.
Kay blinked and his eyes widened slightly. For Kay, this was a big show of expression.
Elle gasped.
Zed looked at her. "What is it?" he asked, demanding to know.
"He-he looks just like…Edgar."

Note: Think of how Edgar looked like in the movie, not the animated series version. That's one thing I don't like about the animated series versions of bugs. I don't care for their bug designs much.
