The first thing that Sam thought when his eyes blinked open was that it had been a dream, seeing Noah shot, seeing his dead brother, and most certainly seeing the strange blue alien, although he had to admit, aliens being real would explain a whole lot, at least about Cosmo. Where was he, if he had been dreaming, though? It wasn't the hotel, wasn't his place or Catherine's. He slowly sat up, trying to get oriented. There was music playing softly, on the stereo, something by Elvis, he thought. Elvis, that reminded him of Kevin and... Before Sam could think further, though, his eyes fell on something on the bedside table. A picture, his brother, but not the boy that Sam had known, but the man he had thought his brother had never had the chance to become. Then there was the woman standing beside him. Pretty, reminded him a bit of Cath, probably due to the height, but... She looked basically human, unlike the alien Sam had hoped he had dreamed, but her skin was a light blue-gray color.

"Kevin, what in the world have you got yourself into?" Sam murmured as he pulled himself to his feet, frowning when he realized that he had been stripped to undershirt and boxers. What in the world happened to his clothes? And his gun? The aliens were real. His brother was real. Sam had a bad feeling that meant that Noah being shot was real too. Panic washed over him, as he remembered Noah's injuries and the blood, too much blood. He dropped back onto the bed, closing his eyes and burying his head in his hands for a moment. Another son, he was going to lose another son, and once more there was nothing that he could do about it.

No, there was something, though. He could be there for that boy, could make sure that Noah didn't die alone like Patrick had. Sam finally noticed the note his brother had left, telling him to help himself to clothes. He pulled himself to his feet, and headed for the closet to find something. He had to get out of there and to Noah, even if he only got there in time to say goodbye.

"Hey, Kay, how's your nephew?" Jay said as he poked his head into Noah's room, grinning slightly when he saw that Aileen was leaning against Kay's shoulder, tendrils intertwined with his fingers. Edie was going to love that, when he got a chance to tell her. "You need any tips on being an uncle, you know I've got you covered."

"Appreciate the thought, Slick. They find those records yet?"

"Oh, yeah. Guess U's good for something after all, because he got hold of those records, no problem." Jay told his partner. "Zed sent out a team to collect some of the hospital records that are warehoused, and the full adoption record from the agency, but with the partials from the hospital, and the court records... He's definitely your brother's kid, even if we didn't already have DNA to prove it. Zed's going over the legal stuff, and Elle and Zara divided up the medicals. Not sure what was in there, but Zara was saying, evil, evil and even Zealtor's brother would know better than to do whatever was in those records. Seeing how she feels about that family, I think it's saying something."

"Yeah, Zara or Elle free to come down here with an update?" He probably ought to go and wake Sam up, but his brother needed the rest. Kay was sure that he wouldn't be getting any, once he got the news that Noah was his son, that someone had snatched that baby away, and had they done something to Catherine as well, something that had caused the complications that had nearly killed her? He couldn't see another explanation, with how young and healthy she had been at the time. Sam was going to... He would have to check with Zed, see about how to go about arranging to deport humans. He knew a few backwater worlds that would offer more than appropriate punishments.

Wait. Sam. He had noticed the wrappings around his brother's chest when he was getting him into bed. "Before they come down here, can you have one of them go by my room? Need someone to take a look at my brother." Sam's cooperation with medical personnel had never been the greatest, even with their kids. He had actually been a bit glad when Richard Kimble had been cleared of murder, so at least one doctor his brother might listen to would be around. When Sam found out about Noah, though, and if her family had done something that nearly killed Catherine, at the same time that they took their baby... Better get someone to take a look while Sam was still asleep. Might be safer. "Probably ought to ask Zara." At least she would be big enough to deal with Sam if he decided to pitch a fit.

"Yeah, I think she was heading that way anyway, to help Zoe with something in X's room. I'll call her and get her to drop by on her way back." Jay said before heading out again.

"Kay, could I ask if there's a little... what do you humans call it, sibling rivalry, with your brother?" Aileen asked as soon as Jay was gone.

"What makes you think that?"

"You just turned Zara and I'm sure Zoe loose on him." Not that the two weren't perfectly nice, And Zoe... Well, Kay actually relaxed with her a bit, and Aileen knew how few beings who were able to make him do that. Still, and then there was the fact that his brother didn't know everything about aliens yet.

"They'll manage." Kay's lips turned up slightly as he pictured his brother, being confronted with the pair, and especially Zoe's tendency to mother anyone she could get her hands on. "Might do Sam some good, to have someone who isn't going to let him be the big dog for a change."

"I hope whatever idiot who was impersonating a doctor and did this was demoted to janitor." Zara grumbled as she looked down at the half of the medical records she was carrying, while following her aunt down the hallway towards Agent Kay's room. When she had first started reading the files she had been shocked at what had been done to that poor woman, but now she was so far beyond shocked she couldn't even put words to her feelings. How could a doctor, nurses, who knows how many other medical personal, people who were supposed to help, do something like that?

"It's that bad?" Zoe asked.

"More than bad. If that poor woman really is as small as this says..." Zara shook her head as she thought about it. How those idiots hadn't managed to kill the poor thing or end up causing brain damage... "I would suggest checking that Zealtor's family tree for a relative that might have dropped by Earth back then, but not even that family would be crazy enough to do this, and I'm pretty sure that the majority of them belong in asylums. Is that Agent U?"

"Yes. Young man, what in the world do you think you're doing?" Zoe demanded as they turned a corner, and spotted the agent in question, right outside Kay's door, making an attempt to force Sam back inside that looked like it was going to end with him getting decked.

"I didn't mean to let him out!" U exclaimed. This was just perfect. Not only had he let the brother of MIB's top agent escape, but he had managed to do it in front of X's mother, the alien pretty much everyone knew was interested in Zed, a feeling that seemed to be mutual. Could he be demoted to a lower position than playing Oxy the Centipede? "I thought I heard my name being called, so I opened the door and... I wasn't going to let him loose in headquarters, I swear!"

"I'm sure you wouldn't, dear. Now why don't you run along?" Zoe said as she patted U on the shoulder. "I'm sure that Zed needs your help with that research he had you handling. He was very pleased with what you were able to find so far, and so quickly too."

"Zed was happy about it?" U asked, sounding as if he didn't believe he might have done something right for a change.

"Oh, course, dear. Why don't you run along and talk to him? I'm sure there's something else that he could use your help with. Some of the other agents have to be back with the rest of the records by now, and I'm sure that they'll need your help putting everything in order, so those horrible, horrible people can be punished appropriately." Zoe said.

"If Zed, needs me... But..." U looked suspiciously at Sam. He couldn't just leave Agent Kay's brother running loose.

"We'll deal with him." Zara said as she came over and joined her aunt. "Believe me, he won't get away." She ran her eyes over Sam, frowning as she noticed the slight hitch as he breathed. Had that been there before, and she had missed it due to having to tend that poor boy? "What did you do to your ribs?"

"Well, if you're sure." And the way Zara was looking at him, it didn't look like Agent Kay's brother was going to get away from her. With a nod, U turned and headed down the hallway as fast as he could. Better to leave things to the ladies before he made a mistake and messed up again.

"Well? What did you do?" Zara asked Sam again. "Broken?"

"They're just cracked." Sam said. It was the girl who had tended to Noah at the nursing home. There was no way he could fail to recognize that voice or the height but... An alien. He had let an alien... His brother trusted aliens, he tried to remind himself. From the look his brother was giving that blue skinned girl in the photo in his room, he wouldn't be surprised if his brother was sleeping with an alien. And the girl had seemed to know what she was doing when she had tended to Noah but still... No, he could worry about the entire alien issue later. Right now, the only thing he needed to worry about was finding that boy. What if he was already too late?

"And where do you think you're going?" Zara demanded as Sam tried to get around her. She reached out and caught hold of him. Cracked ribs indeed. More likely a complete fracture, although she wouldn't be surprised to find that they had just started out cracked. "And I don't suppose a doctor actually told you that it would be a wonderful idea to run around chasing poor innocent people with ribs like that? Because I would like to know if any of that Zealtor's relatives are in the area."

"Young man, are you wanting to worry your brother?" Zoe asked. "I'm sure he would be very upset if you went wandering around the building on your own. Where in the world did you think you were going? And really, tricking Agent U into letting you out like that."

Normally Sam would argue, but now, with Noah somewhere, likely on his deathbed... "Noah, all I want is..."

"Oh, that poor dear? Now don't you worry about him." Zoe said as she looked closely at Sam. Agent Kay said his brother didn't know that poor boy was his son, but looking at the expression on Sam's face, Zoe wasn't so sure. He looked for all the world like a frantic father to her. "He's fast asleep, and your brother's right there keeping an eye on him. I'm sure he would have sent someone to get you in just a little bit, if you would have been patient. He was very worried about you. Such a sweet boy."

"Noah's..." Sam wanted to believe what he was being told, that Noah was fine, but the sight of him, on the floor, and all of that blood... How in the world could he be fine with an injury like that?

"I said I had fixed much worse than that, before." Zara said as she slowly moved around Sam, looking for other signs of injury as she ran her scanner in his direction. "Hemothorax, pneumothorax, tamponade. It actually took longer to get that rib the bullet shattered back together than it did to fix the rest. That little human of my cousin's wants to keep him in the medical lab for awhile, to make sure that we didn't miss anything with the rib, but he's going to be fine. Which is more than I can say for you, running around like that. I'm assuming you saw a doctor about those ribs. Did you make sure it was a sane doctor? One not related to Zealtor?" She frowned at the readings on the scanner. There was the beginning of an infection on the side with the damaged ribs, and something on the other side as well. "What in the world did you do?"

"I'm fine. Noah, where..."

"No, you aren't fine, and if you aren't careful, you're going to end up a whole lot more than not fine." Zara told him.

"Dear, he's just worried about that boy of his." Zoe said. "You could finish looking at him down in the medical lab, couldn't you? I'm sure that he would be perfectly cooperative as long as he got to see that poor boy, now wouldn't you, sweetie?"

"Lab probably would be the best." Zara said with a sigh. And the man did look frantic, still. That couldn't be good for him. Better to do whatever was necessary to calm him down. "But I expect cooperation!"

"Oh, I'm sure he'll do whatever you say, now won't you?" Zoe said as she took Sam's arm. "And your brother will be so happy to see you. And that poor boy when he wakes up, of course."

Sam didn't trust himself to speak, but just nodded. Waking up. Please, he started to pray as he let the two aliens lead him down the hallway, just let him get a miracle, and let Noah be okay, and actually able to wake up
