"Agent X?" A voice called the next morning, causing the exhausted alien agent to look up. He had shed the rest of the human suit, going for what little comfort he could get. They weren't even halfway through the list of resident aliens who needed to be alerted, with the other branches constantly calling in, and ships having to be warned off. He was honestly surprised that Lyndon from the Alien Rights Commission hadn't called already, trying to file some sort of complaint.

"Hey, Mrs. Redgick!" one of the worms called from where he was fluffing Agent Jay's pillows. "Shouldn't you be locked up at home?"

"We're still calling the H's." the worm who had been helping X said. "They're Rs."

"What happened?" Mrs. Redgick asked, her eyes going wide under her human suit as she spotted the human one of the worms was fussing over. "Agent Jay?" Ever since he had helped, when little Reggie was born, she had been fond of the young agent. "Never mind what happened. What can we do to help?"

"Check with Elle's mother." X told her, waving a clawed hand in Rose's direction. Help, that was just what they could really use at the moment, and right behind the Redgicks he could see Agent Kay's Blastulan friend, his human wife and daughter, a group of Alcidian cabbies and at least one Arquillian. Maybe things were looking up if they had a few more people to tend to the rest of the sick agents. Elle's father had been at Kay's side all night, trying to keeping him alive and halfway stable, leabing the rest of the agents for Rose, three worms and a reluctant Frank to try to tend. They could definitely use all of the help that they could get.

"I'm sure that I can find something for them to do." Rose said. All of those poor people, most of them moaning in pain now, but she didn't dare ask George to try medicating any of them, not even their own daughter, without more people to help. "When did you say that cousin of yours is going to be here?"

"Hopefully soon." Regular travel would take at least a standard day, but in an emergency, X knew that time could be shortened. The only question was how far his cousin was willing to push things to get there faster, and how much Agent Kay's girlfriend was willing to go along with. X pulled out his communicator again to try to reach Zara and Rose started to direct the other aliens in how to tend to the sick humans.

Nothing, though. The ship had to be in an area of space without reception still. Just his luck. If Zara was still out of communications range, who knows how long it would take for them to make it the rest of the way there. Had Chief Zeredon actually made Zara follow the interstellar traffic laws? He didn't think she had bothered with those since she was…. Well, he couldn't actually remember the his cousin had bothered with those, honestly. What in the world was he going to do until she could get there, though? He couldn't do anything about the alien criminals running wild and he couldn't do anything for the ill humans beyond pillow fluffing. He could see about getting the investigation into the poisoning stated, though, now that it looked like none of the humans were in serious danger of death. Well, there was Kay, but he had a doctor right there to deal with him. Surely that would be enough.

"Come on. I need someone to get the security footage pulled." X growled as he grabbed a worm. And anyway, maybe going over the footage would help with the Kay situation. There had to be a reason that he was so much sicker than the other agents. If he could figure that out, surely it would help Elle's father, and Zara when she got there, work out how to treat him.

Before X could get to the equipment needed to see the footage from the party, there was a clattering in the hallway, and a second later, Jeebs came running in.

"Do you know how crazy things are out there?" Jeebs demanded. Normally, he had no problem with law breakers, but he sure did when the laws they were breaking were being smashed in the middle of his shop. He had been robbed three times already and where were the agents? Kay had never gone this long without dropping in to accuse him of something, and to blast his head. "I've been robbed, and even worse, my brother's in town! And what are you going to do about it?"

"I'm expecting my entire family, hopefully any time now. One relative, count yourself lucky. We can help you with that, though." X said as he went over to a console and quickly printed a form before handing it to Jeebs. "Here you go."

"Change of Address form? What good is this going to do?"

"If that doesn't work, try this." X said as he passed him another form.

"Last Will and Testament?"

"Remember us fondly." X said with a smirk.

"Are you crazy?" Jeebs shouted. "Where's Kay?" And then suddenly he noticed the blanket covered heaps covering the floor, that he had managed to miss entirely in his panic over his brother's arrival. "What happened to all of them?" Was that Kay with someone who looked suspiciously like a human doctor hovering at his side? Something had taken down the MIB's top agent? Maybe if he shared that news with his brother... "Hey, is he going to die?"

"No!" It was probably a good thing that Jeebs had shown up at headquarters, even if he really didn't want to deal with him. It would save them the trouble of having to send someone out to find and arrest him, though. True, Jeebs was more of a nuisance than anything, but at the moment, they didn't even have the resources to cope with nuisances.

""Are you sure about that?" Jeebs asked as he drifted a bit closer. Kay was the only agent hooked up to equipment, and an amount of it that just shouted dying to him. "Because he doesn't look so good." And all of the used injectors around him couldn't be a good sign. "So, who took out the MIB's best of the best?" This was definitely going to be a valuable piece of information, to the right person.

"That was what I was just on my way to find out, but I can make a stop at the holding cells first. Move it Jeebs." X caught him by the collar and almost pulled him off of his sneakered feet as he started to drag him out.

"You're arresting me? What for? I haven't done anything wrong!" Jeebs protested.

"What am I arresting you for? Breathing, being a general nuisance, and whatever I can come up with later. My cousin's coming, and she's got a good imagination. I'm sure she can help me think up a few more charges. Let's go, Jeebs. You wanted to avoid your brother, didn't you? He isn't likely to look for you in the MIB holding cells, now is he? Let's go!
