MIB Solar System Agents: Chapter 13

   " Hey, NE! Look!", UR said and he was so excited for his amazing discovery in the Archives room. 

   " UR, What are you holding?", his partner asked.

   " Don't be silly!", he laughed. " It's a box! I wonder what's inside it?"

   " Oh, come on!", NE replied. " It's P's files. Don't you know it's too confidential?"

   " What do you mean confidential?", the Uranian asked with disbelief. " I'm so freaking curious. I wanna open it!"

   " NO-NO! STOP THE PRANKS!", NE exclaimed as he warned his companion. " P's going to be mad at us. He's gonna blow his gasket again. UR, Can't you see why he has an evaluation meeting with the others? If he finds out that we're too insane in MIB, then he's gonna neuralyze us for good and deport us back into our homes."

   Agent P came instantly and heard their conversation. Yup, he made a usual grimace to the Methane Boys. They were very surprised as he stood up sternly in front of them. For them, he was like an ordinary strict supervisor in the office. Both of them became so nervous.

   " He started it.", NE said and pointed at his partner.

   " Oh, Hi P!", UR greeted while he was still holding the personal file box. " I'm supposed to open it, but he stopped me from doing it. Is it okay if you can open your box? Please, I wanna see everything inside. "

   " Alright.", P sighed and opened his box. 

   " YAAY! HE'S OPENING IT!.", the Methane Boys exclaimed in unison like happy children on a magic show. Presto! The Personal File box was uncovered. They would discover something from their mentor who had kept his secrets. It seemed like a personal revelation from him. There were photos inside the box. Agent P took them individually.

   " This is my first year in this agency.", he said. " J took me a picture with Frank wearing his black suit. We were finished at the incident with some Baltians in Manhattan. K treated us dinner afterwards."

   " Hey, you looked handsome before." NE replied. " You were playing with his head."

   " P, I think you should shave your face!", UR added.

   " Yeah, that's great.", P said. " I became so busy when the years went by."

   " J and K surprised me on my birthday with some Annelids in my house. They baked me a huge chocolate cake for me and prepared some party decorations.", he added. " I just arrived from the grocery store and I never expected some visitors to come."

   " Cool! By the way, When is your birthday coming?", the Uranian asked. 

   " It's on the fourth of July. .", P replied with a smile. " I'm turning 37 on the American Independence Day."

   " Wow! That's awesome!", the Neptunian exclaimed. " I can't wait to greet you on that date."

   " Hey, What's this?", the Methane boys asked.

   " It's a diplomatic encounter with Lady Elsa the Arendellan 2 years ago , before I moved to the Archives department. She landed in Vermont in winter. We escorted her and some companions to the MIB headquarters. J told me that her planet was about to be extinct. We made a treaty that Earth will be her new home.", P continued as he took another picture. " Frankly, she's the one who caused strong winds and heavy snowfall in North America. We discovered her gift and recruited her to be an MIB extraterrestrial agent."

   " Oh, that's why she froze the pole on the other day.", NE said. " She rescued you and turned your hands into ice."

   " So, What's up with you and Elsa? ", UR asked and laughed as he noticed his mentor's face turned red.

   " Me and her?", P repeated his trainee's question.

   " Yeah, you and Elsa.", the Neptunian replied.

   " She was a trainee just like you, two.", he answered sardonically. " Guys, this is professional stuff. I was assigned to work with her as a partner. According to MIB regulations, an agent should not be emotionally involved to any individual."

   " Okay, you said it so.", they added.

   Suddenly the fourth photo rang a bell into P's memory. It was nearly 7 years before he became a member of this secret organization. His eyes were gloomy as he saw his late wife. It was a happy memory when this newly wed couple went on a honeymoon to Hawaii. The lady was laughing as she buried her husband on the beach sand. The man was hardly smiling when he could not move. 

   " P, what's wrong?", they asked.

   " Now, that's why I never allowed you to bother my personal stuff.", he replied in a low and sad tone. " It's a picture of me and my wife in Hawaii which I kept secretly for years. I don't want to mention everything about my past life."

   " What do you mean?", NE asked again when he was intrigued to the mentor's words. 

   " Okay.", he said. " I'll tell you the story. I was married to an undercover MIB agent named Alpha. She was once known as Alice Peterson-Williams outside this organization. I met her as my co-worker in Silicon Valley, California. We were both software engineers before, but, I never knew that she had some other work. It just happened when she had been so focused about some unfamiliar cases. In fact there were complicated ones. Something to do with paranormal activities which I couldn't fathom."

   " How did you know the things she get?", they asked. " You never asked her anything."

   " I learned them from her files after her sudden death 5 years ago.", he replied. " Those cases were very similar from the current witnesses' testimonies. She made a thorough investigation about a Nemesian from her sources."

   " Had you thought about why did she pass away?", UR asked.

   " Yes, I've been thinking about that until now.", their mentor answered. " Her demise has remained a mystery."

   " I'm sorry to hear that.", the Neptunian said. " It was very hard for you to experience that."

   " Before, it happened, we were expecting to have a child." , P continued. " We're very delighted to have a family. That night, I found her pale and unconscious. She was lying down at the floor. I was supposed to take her to the hospital, but I was so downcast that she left me so unforeseen."

   The Methane boys could not believe their mentor's personal testimony. He became widowed in his early 30's as he also lost a child. For Agent P, He was still grieving and coping his loss. At first, his adjustment was too difficult. Perhaps, he was still looking for some answers from it. For the first time, they felt empathy with him. 

   " Well, this made me join the MIB.", he said. " I met J and K. I  was supposed to be neuralyzed by them since I had violated a regulation. I became emotionally involved to their colleague. They decided to recruit me to replace her. For that matter, It helped to seek every detail and information about my wife."

   " P, we didn't know that you'd faced the toughest part of your life.", UR said. " We learned a lot from you. We know that you can do it!"

   " Yeah, It's sad that you lost Alpha or Alice and even your kid. Besides, you made it surpass the odds.", NE added. " You're the bravest guy we've ever met. We're just right behind you in whatever you do."

   P was so speechless as he heard some encouraging words from his gas giant agents. " Thanks, guys.", he said and smiled. He shifted to give them an errand. " Oh, by the way, UR. Now you've opened my personal file box. I'm giving you twenty dollars to buy something to eat this supper.", he said. " The Mess Room is too crowded at this hour. So you have to go outside and look for a hotdog stand. Don't loose the change."

  " Okay.", the Uranian said as he received the bill. His Neptunian partner laughed beside him.

  " YO! Don't forget the Neptunian french fries for my side dish.", NE said gleefully.

  " I will.", UR answered and left the Archives room. Just outside MIB HQ at Battery Park, There's a strange purple rose planted on the ground that night. It was to eerie as it seemed. There was no such flower specimen on Earth. It could have been from another planet somewhere else in the Galaxy. If some MIB agents could have seen it, they should have examined this plant. But A Uranian agent just came from the building and stared at it. He was like a meddling kid for his own curiosity.

  " Wow! This is such a pretty flower!", he exclaimed and held it. The thorns punctured his hands when the a light blue blood dripped out from his finger. "OUCH!", he cried. " I felt a boo-boo!"

   Suddenly, he saw a hotdog stand across the street. This had diverted his attention from his wound. He said, " Oh boy, A hotdog stand! I can't wait to eat some Earth Food with P and NE." He crossed the street and bought food there. Agent UR didn't notice the flower which he had touched. It grew quickly when the Uranian blood circulated the flower's veins. It began to create a human form like head, hands and feet. It turned into a twin of Agent UR. He was exactly the same from the original Uranian. Behind the bizarre transformation from the flower to a Uranian MIB agent clone was Endorra. As usual, this perfect disguise could make her way to the MIB HQ. She was very prepared to trespass the area without knowing who she really was.

  " Finally,", the False Agent UR said sinisterly. " This will help me to get the perfect spacecraft! But first, I must fulfill to weaken each people working in this building."
