As Elle waited to be inspected by Zed, she wondered where was her

partner. As if he wasn't in enough trouble already. He just had to

tick Zed off so soon. Zed had been hard on him lately but X had it

coming. It would be quite awhile before Zed would reinstate him with

any privileges.

Yet she wondered what had really occurred yesterday. Who started the

fight? Agent U was a jerk, but X was even a bigger jerk. Yet she knew

that X wouldn't want to pick fights with a "primitive" species. But

then he was the hot-headed of the two.

"Elle, may I have a word with you?" Zed walked up to her as the

others were dismissed. His brows furrowed in confusion. "Have you

seen X? I've told him to report to my office this morning but he

didn't show up. I sent an agent to search for him but without

success."

Elle shook her head. "I haven't seen him either." She didn't like

what she heard. Their "loose cannon" was loose in MIB.

"Have you tried tracking him by."

Zed nodded hastily as he answered, "We've tried to by com-link and by

witnesses. None of which were useful. X didn't take his car so we're

at a dead end there."

Zed made his way to the twins with Elle in pursuit. "Inform all units

that we are missing an agent. Tell them to interrogate anyone if

needed. People we have a wild goose chase on our hands."
