Place: Toronto, Ontario
GM Note: I decided to set up a MiB Branch Office situated in the Duncan Station building in Toronto Ontario. Basically, MiB Canada. 🙂
Agent C & H are sitting in a restaurant sipping coffee and eating pie, when C’s phone chimes in. It’s Q, he has an assignment for them. C & H pay there tab and head out to their vehicle where H slides behind the wheel. They zip through the city streets towards Duncan Station.
H is C’s new partner. A rookie in the MiB and getting a trail by fire as well. C knows the drill and wants to see how the rookie holds up. They arrive at Duncan Station and pull into the back lot, they head through the main doors and greet an elderly woman sitting there knitting (she too is dressed in black). Her name is D. They enter the elevator and proceed down to the MiB offices.
Once in the elevator H asks about D. C just tells him “it’s best not to poke a sleeping tiger with a stick, H”. H is left perplexed.
In the main reception area of the Duncan Station branch, C&H walk through the lobby, they are heading to meet up with Q. C bumps into a slug-like beast, he notices the creature leaving an acidy trail behind it. C calls for the janitorial services to clean up and warns the creature to cover it’s feet.
Q is a huge man with salt and pepper hair and a big bushy moustache (imagine Sam Elliot here).
Once up in Q’s office he greets them and then tells them not to get to cozy since they are heading right out to an assignment. Q tells them that there is something amiss in Honesdale, ON. It seems their is an unofficial landing near the town that must be looked into. Should be nothing but a cake walk he tells them.
The info about Honesdale, ON is that it’s a small town nestled along the show of Lake Simon. It is a picturesque burg with a population of 2,190.
C starts to put up a fight because it’s not the typical assignment, but Q tells him that it’s to see how H handles the situation as well. Q tells them that a mini-van has been equipped and ready to go and that a clean up team will be on standby if needed, Begrudgingly, C accepts the assignment and they head down to the parking garage.
On the way there they bump into G, he doesn’t look to healthy. He tells him he tried this new Oriental foods place in Chinatown and he thinks he’s got an gastronomical infection. He’s going to see Dr. N to see if he can neutralize the acid reflux.
They get in the mini-van and then head out of the city and to the great white north. Not wanting to draw attention to their vehicle, they drive the speed limit. C doesn’t want the vehicle to be splashed all over the hot-sheets because he wouldn’t want to be seen caught dead in a mini-van.
When they arrive in Honesdale, they can see that it’s a really quiet town. There is no sign of anyone on the street and the only thing that the lights have on is a roadside diner with a few cars parked in front. The only sound they here in town is an old blues songs that seems to be playing from the jukebox at the diner.
Kelly’s Roadside Cafe, as a old fashioned railway car shaped diner.
They pull into the lot, C decides to head through the front door and asks H to go around back.
C enters the diner, there is a jingle of bells as the door opens. Though, no one is in the room. The song on the jukebox continues to play. He approaches the counter and he sees a service bell and he reaches over and dings that.
H is going around the building, he draws his weapon and he is looking on the ground to see if there is any footprints in the fresh falling snow. There is a weird set of tracks that go to the back door of the diner. It looks like a weird shape foot imprint, definitely not made by a human that’s for sure. He sees the door to the diner partially open and he proceeds.
C is surprised to see a beautiful lady emerge out of the kitchen, she looks like a playboy model wearing a serving apron. She asks him if he is hungry and wants something to eat. Today’s special is a “Juicy Morsel Burger” that will leave your tastebuds tingling for a long while after you eat. C tells her he just wants a coffee, and that’s when he realizes that all she is wearing is just the serving apron.
H pushes the door open just a little wider, he can see the kitchen. He spots blood all over the floors, walls and ceiling and he hears the sound of chopping from one side. He pokes his head to see a huge 3 meter four armed alien with meat cleavers hacking away at a torso on a counter. It only takes him a second to realize that the torso is human.
In the dining room, C asks the waitress her name and how long she’s been employed her. She says her name is C’ndii and that she’s been working her for the past 14 Trytellikz. C summarizes that 14 Trytellikz is roughly two human hours. She pours more coffee just as a car begins to pull into the lot. C’nidii says that here in Bor’Iss just started working here. C sees that they are business folk stopping to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back on the road.
H enters the kitchen with blaster in his hands and he orders the “chef” to stop and put the cleavers down. The chef, Bor’Iss, looks surprised as he sees H with his blaster drawn. Bor’Iss puts down the cleavers and tells H that he has a permit and if it’s okay if he shows it. H complies while keeping the blaster on the chef. H does a quick scan of the kitchen and sees the meat locker open and sees several bodies hanging from hooks as Bor’Iss reaches into his pockets and pulls out four small blasters. H fires a shot.
As the four travellers enter the restaurant and take a seat, C’ndii tells C that she has to go back to work and grabs some coffee and cups. C advisors her that maybe she should put on a little be more items on than the smock. She grabs a long coat and puts it on and heads over to the table to pour the coffee. C hears the sound of combat in the kitchen and he goes in to investigate.
Bor’Iss has drawn his weapons but H has the drop on him and fires off his blaster. The shot catches Bor’Iss in the left shoulder, hitting him so hard that he spins around and he fires off his blasters. H isn’t hit but C takes a shot as he steps into the kitchen.
There’s an all out battle in the kitchen as C’ndii enters with four orders of todays special. Agents C & H finally take down Bor’Iss in one pile of gooey entrails adding another coat to the already bloody kitchen. H is about to fire at her when C tells him that C’ndii has the IQ of a turnip. C’ndii is sadden that her new job didn’t pan out that long.
C tells H to take her to the mini-van as he calls in for a clean up crew to arrive, and he goes back into the diner putting on his sunglasses and taking out the neuralyzer . He flashes the four diners and tells them to continue on down the road and make a stop there, since this place is currently closed for renovations. The diners leave and on their way and C rejoins H and C’ndii by the mini-van.
C’nidi tells them that there was three groups of them that arrived and decided to split up and start a “Juicy Morsel Burger” franchise. Fur’Edd and Sell’Een went up to North Lake, ON to start working there at a truck stop called The Loose Wheel. While Wing’Arr and Chadd went to start working in Tranna, ON in a All U Can Eat Chinese Buffet place. C informs Q of the development and Q says he’ll send a team to the Chinese Buffett and tells C to head to North Lake to put a wrap on this “franchise”. C agrees and says they will leave soon as the clean up crew arrives. C tells Q that C’ndii will be there as well, she knows nothing of the earth customs only what she read in soap opera digest guides.
As the clean up crew arrives, C&H leave C’ndii with them and proceed to head up north. They activate the drive to arrive at North Lake in a hurry now they know what the Juicy Morsel Burgers are made from.
C&H realize the horror of the whole situation and hope to reach the Loose Wheel Roadstop before Fur’Edd and Sell’Een have a chance to set up.
But as they arrive at the truck stop they see that there is a line up as far as the eye can see as people are waiting to enter this divvy truck stop. They hear that the Juicy Morsel Burgers are to die for.
C&H both decided that going through the front door would be a futile one since people are pushing and shoving to get into the place. They see the clear alternative to go through the kitchen. With blasters armed, they enter the kitchen of the Loose Wheel to a horrific sight. Fur’Edd in his alien form with six arms and armed with butcher knives, meat cleavers is hacking away at the remains of something on the counter. Sell’Een is in human guise and looking stunning except for her elongated nails and razor sharp teeth she keeps the waitstaff in the corner corralled.
And it’s a big boss battle that’s for sure. Which lasted a lot longer than I thought due to Fur’Edd’s viciousness and Sell’Een’s combative prowess as well. But eventually, C&H take a licking but still ended up ticking… barely. C cals in for a clean up crew and he neutralizes the waitstaff wiping the memories of this evening and they earned a vacation as a belated X-Mas bonus from their boss, Freddy Fencer.
Q compliments the team on a job well done and that the situation in Toronto has been dealt with as well.
It’s time to come home.
