A day or so after the human was brought to the secret meeting place, unrest seemed to have been multiplied indefinitely. The officer Carbine was really rattled to find an Agent of the MIB in their wakes. From the start of the peaceful and diplomatic arrangements between planet Earth and Mars, she always knew it was a bad idea.

Right in the heat of battle the MIB retreated, the work of the Plutarkians no doubt. Humans couldn't be trusted, and the only people she seemed to only rely upon was herself, her boy Throttle and his crew. The resistance seemed to be the only ones making a difference, contridictry to the army she served, as she was constantly given orders to patrol or guard locations that have long been destroyed.

How was she to know that this human hadn't gone under the Mind Bender beam like Stoker did? It was only too easy that the girl would just 'coincidentally' wake up and meet up with the guys. The human was a liability in the making! Who knows how much longer they all could stay free with her running loose!?

"How's she doing?" came Modo's concerned lyrics breaking into the officer's thoughts.

Harley just bowed her head and shook it feeling discouraged, "She seems to have stabilized, but she's really tired and is running a fever."

"Poor thing, who knows how long she'd been locked up down there.." Taking a deep sigh, Modo looked over his shoulder to find Carbine with Throttle sitting in the back as Vinnie was walking towards him.

"Any news sweet heart?" The masked Martian quizzed as his eyes lit on the attractive mechanic.

"Not since yesterday hot shot," came the flirtatious yet playful response of Harley.

Grinning sheepishly, Vinnie read the frown upon the female's features and asked, "What's wrong sweet heart?"

"It doesn't make sense..what is a human doing on Mars?" The mechanic's frown formed a deep thinking crease between her eyebrows, arms folded in thought.

Vinnie really didn't think about it until then, and just as he opened his mouth to speak Carbine cut in, "It's because she was working with the government."

"Don't tell me the government that sold us out- that government?" Vinnie's eyes widened as he saw the nod in the other's face and whipped round to Modo. "And you rescued her!" He stated dramatically as he  paced a step back in disbelief and utter betrayal.

Modo felt a heavy weight in his chest, what was he to do? His momma always taught him to help others in need, and to treat ladies with respect..was it such a bad idea to help this girl? Keeping a steady eye on the trio who seemed to have ganged up on him, flicked his vision towards Throttle who cut in, "Guys guys guys.. now is not the time."
