Chapter Five
Foreseen
Kay had gotten a call about a couple juvenile aliens getting into fights. He drove along, humming a song that had come on the radio. Ember quietly sat in the passenger seat. She watched the people walking by on the sidewalk. She knew quite a bit about the sixties, but living in the past fascinated her. Just one simple action could change the course of history.
They pulled up to an alley where two young men were putting graffiti on the walls.
"Hey, boys," Kay said casually. "Been in any trouble lately?"
"Kay!" the first man said, trying to hide the paint behind his back.
"How are you?" the second man asked.
"Look, there's a girl!" The first elbowed his friend and pointed to Ember.
Kay stepped in front of her. "I heard you've been getting in some fights lately."
"Of course not...! Right, Paul?" the second replied. He looked to his friend, Paul, for help.
"Uh, yeah!"
"Sure. So that's why I got all these complaints?" Agent K looked at them with an expression of contempt.
"I couldn't say. Could you, Johnny?" Paul said.
Johnny shook his head. Ember had to stifle a laugh at the act these two aliens in disguise were trying to pull.
"C'mon, fellas. We're gonna ship you off this rock, back to whatever planet you come from," the agent ordered. He rounded them up, putting them in the backseat of the car.
After that little adventure, Kay and Ember had the two men dropped off at MIB headquarters, and started to drive home.
"Well, that was fun," Ember laughed.
"It's not always that easy, Slick. Like with the Sarlokians; they're still approaching, and fast."
Dark clouds started to fill the once bright sky. A gentle rain fell down upon the city.
"What else have Sarlokians done?" Ember asked curiously.
"Destroyed a couple alien races. Human murders. Threats. They're pretty much a violent species," Kay explained. "Not you, though, Ace."
Kay braked suddenly as a man purposely stepped out in front of the car.
"Agent Kay! It's me!" the man shouted, smiling mischievously.
The agent looked at Ember. "Stay here."
What was familiar about the man? There was something...
It was the man from her vision. Same jacket, same air of bad intentions.
"Kay," she whispered. She started to get out of her seat.
Kay looked back at her and mouthed, 'No, stay back.'
"Kay." She was out of the car now. Ember walked toward him, the raindrops pounding down on her. "You have to get away from him."
The man looked wary. He reached into his jacket like the seer had foreseen and brought out a long silver gun.
"Kay!"
Ember ran towards them. Kay couldn't get hurt. Not him. She was fast enough to get to Kay and block him, right before the man pulled the trigger. It all happened in slow motion for Ember. The man looked defiant and laughed. Kay screamed. Anger replaced the agent's emotion. He shouted something at the stranger, who disappeared with a snap of his fingers.
Ember's vision started to go dark. The man that was her protector kneeled over her. He called for help. Before the seer blacked out, she realized she had just saved the life of the most feared human in the universe.
Sorry for the late updates. I've been kind of busy. I'm going to try my best to keep this steadily updated. - MISS GLOBAL
