Chapter Eleven

-

Standing in the middle of Agent High T's Office, he continued to talk to someone in his phone

" Yes. Yes. Understood. Yeah..Indeed. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Let me assure you, we will deal with this in the strongest possible terms." While High T was on the call, X looked at M, who had her eyes on the portraits that hang on the wall

DEFEAT OF THE HIVEArmed with only their witsand Series-7 De-Atomizers

When Agent H and Agent High T was assigned to deal with The Hive, you had a mission you needed to be done. When H went back from their mission, you were confused at his change of characteristics.

He began to be reckless and arrogant. It created a ruckus in the relationship. You both didn't have much time to focus on the relationship in hand, but focused more on missions they completed together. Until they began to drift away and eventually broke it off

Months later, she then heard he was in a relationship with An arm-dealer but then heard they split up

Agent X, You, still haven't wrapped it around your head that you started working with H all over again. You managed to fall harder.

' ugh. The audacity of this puny heart '

Your attention went to the beep from High T's phone when the call ended

He faced the Trio

"The Jababian wants your heads. Quite literally. Heads, sent by a diplomatic pouch Not yours, Agent X. The Jababians took a liking for you"

"Uhm, I really wouldn't appreciate having my friend's head cut off. I should thank them, some time for not having my head leave my body" you informed Agent High T

"Oh. Um. Ahem.." M uncomfortably started to loosen her tie. She finds the idea of her head inside a pouch very unlikable

The door opened and in comes Agent C

"Morning, sir" He greeted High T

"I have the forensics report you asked for" Agent C held out the report to High T. With a  'Thanks' from High T, Agent C stood beside High T

Viewing the report, High T commented

"Well, this is troubling. Very troubling. These are our suspects" pinching his fingers from the report and throwing it in the middle of the room, the report enlarged

Looking at two figures walk and many informations on both sides, you hummed

"A species called a Dyadnum. From a binary star system in the constellation Draco" High T began informing the Three

"Draco, that's Hive's Territory. The entire sector fell years ago" H said

"The Dyads' DNA are riddled with Hive Mutations. As we all know, the Hive  doesn't just destroy their enemies, they subsume them. Take them over from within" High T explained

"Whoever these two were, they're now part of The Hive" H nodded

"Yes, but why would the Hive send them all this way to kill a Jababian Royal? You both knew Vungus better than anyone. Did he indicate why he was here? Did he want something from us?" High T bombarded them with questions. The last parts mostly dedicated for Agent X and Agent H

You were now fiddling with the crystal that Vungus gave you. But came to a decision to not reveal it, especially not when you narrowed down your theories, that MIB has a mole

"No. He seemed pretty normal, happy" Agent H said as you nod to agree with his statement

"Sir, this whole thing is a fiasco. It's a Farrago" Agent C countered

"And a failure of this magnitude requires immediate invokement of.." Agent C took his glasses off

"Article 13" he finished his sentence

"Oh, hell no!" You exclaimed

"Uh. What's Article 13?" Agent M muttered, only to be ignored.

" Don't be a dick. Who says 'Farrago'? " H says

"Clearly, only Agent C does" you answered H's question

"What is Article 13?" Agent M repeated but this time louder

"Immediate termination and followed by--"Agent C answered M in a flat voice as he put the black glasses

"..Neuralyzation!" You said in alarm as you quickly opened your jacket suit to grab your own glasses

"Wait" "Wait a second!"

The three started to panic when Agent C powered up the neuralyzer

"You're really gonna do it?!" You said in a rushed panicked voice as you held the glasses firmly on your face

"Wait, No " High T demanded

"Is that your answer to everything?"  M exclaimed as you and H held out a hand for defense

"Put that away" you and H ordered Agent C

"Glasses off" responded, Agent C

"Sir, you can't" H pleaded High T

"Give me one good reason, why not?" High T pointed at them

"Uhm. Because it's.. it's.." H stuttered clearly having a hard time forming a reason" We were..uhm.. talking about" M was also looking for words

M jabbed you in the ribs as you shouted out

"Because if you neuralyze us, you won't be able to know the truth!" you blurted out. H and M nodding fast at High T, wanting for him to spare them

"The truth!""Yes, The truth!"  X and M repeatedly said as you both cooly removed your glasses

"They're stalling. Say the word and I'll do it" Agent C said as he looked at High T with his neuralyzer pointed at the three

"Put it away" High T said, making the three visibly relax

' phew '

"X, Go ahead. Explain yourself" High T gave them the opportunity to save themselves

"Sir, I have a question. How many people knew that Vungus was there?" You started calmly

"The people in this room. And perhaps a dozen high-level agents. Why would you be asking this, Agent?" High T wondered what your excuse would be

"Those would be the only people who knows his location. Vungus obviously wouldn't leak his own whereabouts to the killers, that would only mean one thing, sir" X explained. H could only watch in ' awe ', he had always adored your intelligence

You looked at M and immediately understanding your point, you nod at her to continue your hypothesis

"It means, there is a Mole inside the MIB" you nodded at her proudly as she gave you a smirk

"A mole, sir. Inside this very walls" H added

"Sir, they're obviously making this up as they go along. What are you talking about? 'A mole' ? In the history of the company, there's never been a leak

"Are you saying that I am not correct, Agent C?" You intimidated the agent infront of you

"Yes" he said bluntly even though he kinda pissed himself because if your glare

"That's something a mole would say" H pointed at Agent C with his glasses

"Don't be absurd" Agent C defended himself

"Classic mole talk. Am I right, ladies?" H looked at X and M, who nodded at him

"Definitely" you answered

"Sounds like Mole 101" M answered

"Enough" High T ordered"If we've been compromised, it puts every citizen of this planet, both human and alien, at risk" he added

" C, track down theses killers" High T commanded Agent C"Find the killers, we find the mole."

"Will do, sir" Agent C obeyed

"Dismissed" H whispered to Agent C

You hit his side

"Ow, what is with women and their problems with hitting people" H groaned out

"What did you say?" You looked straight to his eyes. Shit, wrong move. Those eyes.

Widening his eyes, he shook his head left to right

"Nothing" he squeaked out

"X, always as sharp as a knife" High T complimented X and receiving a nod"And M, you're smart as advertised"

"Thank you, sir" M said with a small smile

"M, Work the case with C. Get weapons department started on something that can neutralize these Dyads. You as well, X" with a last look at H, you followed M out of the office

You and M look at the device that was used for Vungus

"I think that is not a blade" You shared your thoughts

" Yeah, It looks like it carries some kind of poison"

"I know what you're talking about" H suddenly took the device that was being checked"Sorry, mate, High T wants me to run point on this one" H informed Agent C

"What? I don't believe you" Agent C said

"I don't like it any better than you, but he kept going on about relying on me, needing our top agent, No offense, X. And that sort of thing" H explained

" I don't make the rules. Take it up with him" H said

"M, he's keen of you to shadow us" H pointed at him and to me

"I think she already overshadowed you but, go on" you lowly muttered, recieving a glare from H but didn't make any comment

"Little on the job-training, if you will. Hmm? Yeah? Come on" he waved at You and M to follow him

"Are you going or staying?" Agent C asked M. Didn't even bother to ask you because he knows you would go where H is, considering he's your partner

"Yeah. I'll go"

"Hurry" you urged M"Come on" said H as he walked away

M struggled to catch up with You and H. With tall heights and long legs, you both walk some long strides.

A perfect match M thought

"Okay" M started"What's the actual truth, H?"

You walked quietly, except for your boots that made a noise whenever making contact with the tiles. Oh and it's a new pair, not the one that the ugly green slug ruined before you got into this mess

"You tell me. For someone who, hates lying, that was incredible" H said

"Hey! M wasn't lying and either am I, H" you scowled at his accusation

"It was electric up there, we played off each other, back and forth"

"We were riffing" M answered for the both of you

"A mole inside MIB. It's genius, I wish I thought of it" H said

"And because of that we were able to discover a possible truth" you exclaimed at H, the three of you stopping in the middle of the hall, right on top of the MIB Logo

"X is right. Think about it. It would explain a lot" M defended our case

"It's hard working with women" H groaned

"Well if only you men, could understand, it would be easier" you argued back "Plus, you've been with me for a long time and stick all your whines up  your ass, understood?" You pointed at H's face

"Ooh" M smirked at H. She liked how bossy you were over H and how obedient H is.

You threatening him will not end well for his side. There was a time he challenged you, and let's just say he ended up sitting on his desk with alien goo covering his head to toe

"Yes! Alright, I understood" he raised both his hands up in surrender"What do you have so far?" H cautiously asked

"I was about to run a molecular deconstruction on the substance" you three faced each other

"Let's not forget having to cross-reference with all the toxins that substance has" you reminded

"Yes, that too" M pointed out

"Good idea" H complimented

"Don't inha--" H already inhaled it

"I wouldn't do that" M said causing you to look at her

" Too late for that warning" you slapped H's back to help him breath. He basically inhaled the substance that was given to Vungus

"Whoo! I'm okay. I know what that is" H yelled out, pointing at the substance

"That killed a 300-pound Jababian"

"Zephos, pure grade. The wrong amount would kill you instantly" 

" If you don't want to die too soon, I suggest for you to not inhale it" you said

" And the right amount will keep you dancing shirtless on a nightclub in Monaco for 17 hours" H educated the two

"Always so much information" M shook her head

" I love extra information " you said you H with your iconic wink

"Thank you, sweet" H thanked you"There's only one place in the world where they know to  mix it. Let's go" H and X walked off

X halted and turned around to see M not following them. Which resulted for H to also turn around when he heard X's boots stop from clanking

"You coming? The world's not gonna save itself, ya' know?" X offered M

"Are you saying that you need me to save the world?" M questioned

"Uh-huh" H answered, X nodded at that

"We make a pretty good team, might as well have you working with us. Plus, I need someone to irritate H with" you winked at her causing her to laugh when she heard H sigh

"Hm. Thought so."
