Chapter 3

As it was pass noon, a Bug exterminator pulled up to the farm after getting the call last week about cockroaches in the barn. When he went in with his bug killing gear, the alien in disguise followed him in without the exterminator noticing.

"Welp, it looks like you guys are trying to create a new colony. Too bad that I have to give you the notice." said the Exterminator with a grin. Suddenly the door behind him was closed shut by the alien farmer who was mad. "And, just what the heck do you think you're doing?." he asked with a bit of anger.

"Oh, good morning Joe. You call me to take care of your pest problem." said Exterminator who was friends with the farmer, but doesn't know that this wasn't the farmer. "Pest problem?!. Oh, I have seen plenty of pests since I came down here and let tell you something." as the alien farmer came face to face with the Exterminator, and said "They are very pesky and ignoring."

The Exterminator gave him a smile and said "So, do you want me to get rid of them?. Yes?." The Alien farmer just chuckled and said "Sure allow me." as he grabbed his face with brute strength making him open his mouth, and then took his tube that was connected to poison tank, and put in his mouth killing him in the process.

After that the alien farmer went back outside to push his spaceship into the exterminators truck with force, and then got in an drive off. Meanwhile, April was looking at the building and then looked at the card in her hand saying the same address. "Well, this must be the place then." she said to herself as walked towards the white building.

When she entered in she saw a man in a black suite seating in a chair reading magazine, and so she walked up and ask "Um, good morning. I have a twelve o'clock appointment." giving him a nervous smile. The guy looked up at April and said "Good morning to you too little girl. Just call the elevator and get in." as he pointed at the only elevator. She then went up to the elevator and press the call button, as the door went open she went in as the door closed.

As the elevator made to a complete stop the door behind her opened without noticing, as the guy spoke "Your late." April turned around seeing the guy an couple of JROTC cadets who standing at parade rest. "Sorry about that sir, I had trouble with the city bus." said April coming out of the elevator. The guy just shake his head and said "Please everyone have seat." After saying that everyone took a seat on the comforable white pod chairs.

"Welcome, my name is Zed. You're all here is because you are the best of the best. JROTC's Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine, and Police Junior Academy." then April and the cadets were looking at one another, as the cadets were in their uniforms while April was wearing just her plain old yellow t-shirt and blue shorts. Then Zed continue saying.

"We are only looking for one you, just one. We will follow a simple test, that will consist of mathematics, english, social studies, and automotives." April raised her hand to ask a question. "Oh, good you have question. What is it?." Zed asked. "I'm sorry to ask this silly question that is already answered but, why are we here?."

A female Air Force cadet raised her hand to answer her question. "Ah, yes. you." said Zed pointing at her to speak. She then got up at attention and said "Sir!, cadet lieutenant Houston with great honors, Sir. You have selected us because you're looking for the best of the best Sir!." "Exactly. Thank you." said Zed. As she did her solute to Zed and put her hand down, she looked at April like she just a joke.

But then April started laughing her butt off after seeing and hearing what she said. "Is there something funny that you like to share with the rest of us, O'Neill?." Zed asked with his eyebrow raise. Wiping a tear away, April said "I'm so sorry. It just that Captain Marvel over here was saying that Best of the best Sir, with honors thing, and she just so excited to be here and she don't why we're even here." as April imitating her and doing the solute, while everyone didn't find it funny.

Zed just gave a unamuse face expression as he looked at the black mirror, where Karai was behind the glass laughing at the joke that April made. "Any who, if you could take out the test booklet that is beside you along with a number two pencil, and you may begin. Good luck." as Zed walked out of the room leaving the teenagers to start testing.

They were having a very difficult time trying to write on the booklet, as it was floppy and didn't have any backbone. April was trying to answer one of the questions until her pencil snapped, letting her know that it was cheap. Then she put the broken pencil together an resume answering but still it was a challenge to write on the booklet.

Behind the black glass, Zed came in with Karai to watch them take the test. "I don't know why you selected her as a worthy employer?." he asked. "That's simple Zed, she ran down a high runner alien without struggling to catch up with it. And, she never had NIB training at all." said Karai locking at April struggling to write on the booklet. "Well, your right about that. She's a keeper." said Zed.

Back in the room, April just had enough of trying to write on the booklet on her lap as she got from her seat and pulled table that was in the middle of room, making squeaky noise causing everyone to stop working and looking at April. When she pulled to where her chair was she smile, as she put her booklet on the table an then at everyone. "You guys want in?." she asked.

A few hours later after taking the test, they were at the automatic target range course as they picked up the guns that were piled up on the table and went to shooting. April was trying to find a target that was the main target but can't tell, since most of the targets were monsters. Eventually she found it and took her shot, causing the practice test to stop.

"O'Neill what was that?." asked Zed pushing the button on the remote in his hand, as the target that April shot in the head was a little four year old girl. Zed then ask "Tell me why Lucy have to die?." April looked at the target an then looked back at Zed an answered.

"To be honest with you I was going to shoot that ugly monster but, then I saw he was on the lamp pole doing pull ups. And I was thinking what I would feel some type of way, if someone come to the gym pointing the gun at me while I'm on the treadmill." then said April pointed at the other monster that was holding a tissue. "And, the guy his not doing anything wrong he was just sneezing. Now, for Lucy how ever well, what kind of a girl would go out at night by herself?. It seems to me that she's up to something, since she's carrying some college level books that's way too advance for a four year old."

Zed just sat there with amazement after hearing what April, was very true in fact cause the shooting test was about don't judge the book by its cover and she passed it with flying colors. "And, also I would appreciate it if you ease off back about it. Cause you're not getting on one the want to be commandos." said April having a little attitude problem with authority. Zed looked at her with seriousness.

"Or should I owe the little an apology?." she said smiling knowing she just stepped out of line. Zed left the room after telling them to wait for six minutes, to talk to Karai who was watching the whole thing behind the glass window. "She's good but she has a rebel attitude against authority." said Zed.

"So, do I Zed. That's how I became your top agent." Karai said smirking. "I just hope you what you're doing." as Zed headed back to where April and others were. "Kids you're are truly the best of the best. You pasted every test with no issues, and now we will begin our last test. An eye exam, now if you will follow me to the other please."

As everyone followed Zed to other room, Karai was up against the wall with her arms crossed while holding a folder and waiting for April to come out. And when she did came out last, Karai stopped her. "Hey, where are you going?." "Oh, I was going to take my eye exam." said April. Then Karai gave her the folder and gave her the run down of the NIB organization while walking.

"Follow me. Back in the summer of 1954 the first aliens crash landed in the farm field in the middle of the night. No one knew of it expect a local scientist, a newspaper boy, the farmers neighbor, a community college student, and a retired ninja teacher. Those were the very first NIB agents, and please look forward." Karai said as they passing by the other room, where Zed was about to neutralize the JROTC cadets. April was looking at one of the pictures an saw a photo of one of the original agents giving the tall alien a peace offering.

"Ah, how cute. The guy is giving the tall alien some flowers, his tall enough to play basketball." said April. "I was thinking the same thing too. And, so with agreement to keep them a secret we allow them all other aliens to come live on earth. Our job is to help them who don't have a home to go to, help them fit into society, and protect our planet from alien terrorist who brakes the law of the Universe, and what not." said Karai with smile.

"So, it's like ET phone home type thing?." asked April who was not believing it at all. "Mmmm, it's sorta like that but it's the other way around. Like the Kranng who came Dimension X, since they home was blown up due to peace treaty issues with the Triceratons and now live with us under cover. That and due to the mutagen spill that they accidentally released on New York, but I was a baby when that happened."

April was thinking that Karai talking crazy and being crazy, and also thinking that this place a nut house. With e weak friendly smile she said "When was the last time that you got your brain scanned?." Karai then said "Oh, I had mines done about last month." Then Karai was given the folder back as April said "Ok, then I strongly suggest that you set another appointment this week, and as much as I like to hang out with you but I want to leave. Now."

With a sigh knowing that April was having doubts about what she said about aliens and secret organizantions. "Alright, I'll take you to the door but first, let's grab a snack. Your hungry?." she asked going to the door beside her. "Sure, I could eat." said April. When they entered in the snack lobby, April was shocked to see four Mutant Ninja Turtles just seating at the table drinking coffee and eating pizzas.

As they looked up they their sister coming to get some treats. "Karai what's up sis?!." said a turtle wearing an orange bandana. "Karai give me four!." said a turtle wearing a red bandana as the other turtles were wearing blue and purple. "What's up bros. What's the special today for pizza?. I hope it's not anchovies." "Nah, it's ultimate supreme." said a turtle named Leo, as gave her sister a slice.

Then one of the turtles looked at April with a smile and ask "You want a slice too?." She shook her head no since she still in shock, as Karai walked out of snack room and gave her a honey bun. "You said those were your brothers right?." asked April with a still shocked look on her face. "Yelp. It's very complicated. But I tell you later. Come on." Karai said taking a bite of her pizza.

After exiting the building and went walking, they took a seat at the bench near the water to have a talk about the job and the catch that went with it. "So, you're telling me that everyone is a alien?." April asked now believing in aliens and mutants. Nodded her head, Karai said "Some are human, alien, and mutants. Aliens come to earth to have a fresh start and make a living like you and me in disguise. Some have a planet but want to live a better and move down here."

"What's the benefits and catch of joining this organization, Karai?." April asked eating her honey bun. "The benefits are knowing everything about the Universe itself, having great pay, and job is easy. For the catch is that when you join, you will no longer be on government record and won't see the people you know anymore. You be nothing less than a memory, a walking ghost."

Karai looked at April, knowing that this was a big decision to make and the hardest. "I'm going to let you think about it. You got the whole day to decide." she said getting up from the bench and going back to the HQ. Before she was almost gone, April called her back and ask "Is it worth it?." With a smile she said "Oh, yeah its definitely worth it. That's if you're strong for it."

April just looked at the ocean with the decision that she have to make, knowing if she join then she won't exist to the world no more and can no longer see people she know. But then again she will get an awesome job, and be a cool agent. Like Karai have told her that she has the whole day to think about it, and April was giving a good thought on it until the sun went down.

Meanwhile driving in the exterminator truck, the alien farmer has his eyes set on New York City and ready to get his hands/claws on Orion's belt. "Ah, New York. It's so great that they named twice." said the Alien farmer as scoffed a whole box of donuts and washed down with a jug of suger water. "Mmmm, refreshing!." he said with a laugh.
