The White Sheep and The Black Wolf Part13
"Is this all of them?" Koo'lah asked, though it sounded more like an
order.
Alpha shook his head. "There are a couple of agents still about."
Koo'lah turned to him, with a look of suspicion. "We agreed that you
would get a shipment of Quantum Blasters in return I would receive
all of MIB and a section on Earth for our usage."
"The reservation of Earth is understandable, but what are a couple
agents to you?"
"Months ago, MIB stopped us from a campaign. Let's just say we want
to show them what we do to enemies." He emphasized this by crushing a
metal cup with a fist.
Alpha sighed. "Very well. Just give me a little more time. After all,
you know how clever these MIB can be."
"How could you have let just a couple agents get away?"
"They had manage to evade my control by leaving their Vid-Links
behind."
Koo'lah stood. "Whatever the reason, catch them. We must succeed.
Then we will get what we both desired. You, the world. Me, revenge
and conquest." He lifted a cup of victorywine.
Alpha lifted his cup. "To our new-found fortunes.
Kay woke up upon a damp, cold floor. He coughed once then rolled unto
his back. Groaning, he rubbed his forehead. He felt as it he had a
long night of drinking and was now suffering the effects of a major
hangover.
"Kay?" He heard voice called.
Immediately he sat up, and wished he hadn't. As he felt his temples
throbbed, he demanded, "Who's there? Identify yourself."
"It's me, Zed." Then he stepped into the light that shown down from
the fixture above. Despite the condition they were in, Zed maintained
his dignity. Though he looked a bit perturbed.
Taking a seat next Kay, he said. "Mind filling me in on what's going
on?"
Kay shrugged. "At night, they boast of what they had done. If you
just listen, they'll tell you all about it. But if you must know,
Alpha has lured us here by using psychic waves. He plans to sell us
to the Hook'tak who plan to extract a little revenge by making us
slaves."
Zed face paled. He cleared his throat. "That's all?"
"But that's not all. Though Alpha would be in charge of Earth, he
agreed to set aside a piece of Earth to support their war campaigns."
Zed realized that if the Hook'tak managed to establish an outpost on
Earth, they would have an advantage in conquering Earth's allies. The
whole United Intergalactic Federation would fall to the Hook'tak.
Zed shuddered at the thought.
"Is everyone here?" he asked Kay.
"There are a couple."
"And who are they?"
"X and Elle."
Zed groaned. "I had thought that if they had been different agents,
there may be hope for us yet. But with those two, I'm not so certain."
Kay thought about this. Zed had an uncanny knack about being right.
Kay just hoped that X and Elle would pull together. Otherwise, MIB
would just be a lost memory to the Federation.
