[QUOTE="talien, post: 3953942, member: 3285"] [b]Welcome to the Show - Part 1e – Kurt and Jim’s Story[/b] Grange struggled to open his eyes. They were crusted over. A man in a USAF uniform swam into a view. "How long…" he swallowed. His throat felt as scratched as it sounded. "How long have I been out?" "Over a day," said the man. "I'm Colonel Robert Coffey. Nice to meet you." Grange looked over. Agent Baxter was on a bed on the other side of the room. It was hard to tell if he was awake. "I've read the report about what happened at the U.S. embassy. But I'd like your version of the story." "About the bug, you mean?" The man's eyes betrayed no hint of emotion. "What bug, Mr. Grange?" "You know bloody well what we're talking about," croaked Baxter. "The brain flea that was hopping from body to body." "Brain spider," said Grange. "Whatever," said Baxter. "Can we see it?" "That depends on the answer to your next question," said Coffey. "Your IVs have been injected with a mild sedative, so please, don't try to get up." Grange tried to lift one hand and found he couldn't. "I belong to an organization dedicated to dealing with these…anomalies you experienced." "Anomalies?" asked Baxter. "There were dozens of witnesses!" "According to the papers that was a terrorist attack by the Irish Nationalist Republic," said Coffey calmly. He fished a newspaper clipping out of the folder he was holding his hands and placed it on Baxter's chest. "You can read it when we're finished here." "A cover up," said Grange. "I didn't say that," replied Coffey. "If you wish to learn more, I will be happy to recruit both of you into a new organization, an organization of the highest level of secrecy. It’s a clandestine taskforce that deals with the elimination and obscuration of preternatural phenomena that pose a threat to our citizens and their country." "And if we decline?" asked Baxter. "Then we'll up your dosage, you will fall asleep, and in another day you will wake up with no knowledge of this event except perhaps a hazy dream of some fellow that doesn't exist." "Why don't I believe we'd wake up?" asked Baxter. Coffey said nothing. "I'm in," said Grange. "Those things killed my partners." "Mine too," said Baxter. "'sides, I don't think I want to go back home, all things being equal." Coffey nodded. "Good choice. As soon as you recover from your wounds, you'll begin training." He started to leave and then paused at the door. "Oh, one other thing. You two are under a loose form of quarantine, because we don't know how far the alien contagion might spread. Since you were both exposed, we can't risk other agents being infected. You two are now partners for the foreseeable future." "Bloody hell," muttered Baxter. "Yeah, great," said Grange.
