Chapter Eight: Before I’m Dead

“Well then wise up
Broken up, really such a shame
But why not?
Take a chance, everything’s a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up, nothing’s gonna change”

“Greetings agent Mothman, what is it this time?”
“An alien’s trying to kill me!!! He said he would kill me because I was sticking my nose where I shouldn’t and because I had something he wanted and he already tried twice and this last one…wait a minute, who are you!?”

The female figure on the screen of Dib’s laptop shook her head slowly a bit before answering…

“I was wondering when would you stop with the rambling and finally ask…I’m agent Alien Doll…”

Dib stared for a minute…how very convenient…

“Oh…you must be new…”

The woman pressed her palm to her forehead, sighing…

“No…I’m actually one of the founders, agent Darkbootie and agent Nessie told me about you…apparently this is the 14th time you call today…”

Dib’s eye twitched…

“A-ah, I’m sorry, but I’m in a terrible danger right now, an alien’s trying to kill me and stuff!! He already tried twice!! And he almost succeeded in the last one!!”
“You already said that earlier…is it Zim this alien you’re talking about??”
“Yeah…there aren’t really THAT many aliens that want to kill me…”
“Ok…and what exactly, do you want agent Mothman??”

Dib thought about it for a while…

“Protection…I guess…or some way in which I can protect myself…I didn’t know he could be so…so…”

Dib squirmed a bit…

“I see…agent Mothman…we’re an information network…I’m afraid there’s nothing completely tangible we can offer, but I’m sure I can give you the location of several places where the alien won’t be able to find you and that can provide security while we find a more effective way in which you can defend yourself…and of course, that can’t be tracked back neither to you or us…”
“That’s perfect…thank you agent Alien Doll…”
“You’re welcome agent Mothman…I’m sending the data of various safe locations right now…”

Six floating screens opened in front of Dib, each of them showing the maps of different locations, within and outside the city limits, all of them seemed really inconspicuous…it was perfect…

“Mmm…I know where most of these places are…”
“I sent the nearest ones…but in case the situation becomes severely life-threatening, as you already make it sound…I’m sending you also the data of other locations which are pretty far away…”

Four screens saved the previous maps and displayed 2 more maps each, those locations were quite far away, and Dib only knew one of them…

“Interesting…I always thought that was a simple book-store…”
“You never know where we can be…you should know that by now agent Mothman…”
“Yeah…you’re right…”

Dib downloaded all the maps to his laptop and saved them…

“Agent Mothman…I’m curious…why is this alien trying to kill you?”

Dib typed some more on his laptop and then thought of it a bit…

“…I’m not really sure…of course, I always ruined his plans for destroying Earth and stuff, but recently I found he’s been spying my dad…it’d never been personal before…”
“Oh…professor Membrane??”
“Yeah…and, I can’t seem to understand why is it that he’s so interested in him…even if my disjointed mind does have a hypothesis that’s becoming a bit prominent lately, but I don’t quite like it…it makes me edgy…”

Dib paused to reboot his laptop for no apparent reason…

“Do go on…”
“Ah yes…first I thought it was only because of the technology, just another stupid way of destroying Earth…but then I found the spying cameras in my house, well, only the links, all the same…and it was rather spooky…”

The woman’s eyes widened for a few seconds…

“He’s been spying you and your father so closely??”

Dib shook his head, staring at his hands…

“No…not me…or my sister…only my dad…that’s the spookiest part of all…and I don’t understand why, and he wouldn’t tell me either…then he said I was sticking my nose where I shouldn’t…and then he tries to kill me, twice already!! So I don’t think I can hide here any longer…he might even be watching this conversation…”
“Don’t worry about that agent Mothman…we have our own ways of blocking Spyware…agent Mothman…I wish you luck, we wouldn’t want to lose such an active agent as yourself…I’ll send further information soon…”

Dib looked up to the screen once again…

“Thanks agent Alien Doll…good-bye…”
“Good-bye agent Mothman…”

-.-

Zim grinned, Dib was stupider than he thought if the feeble human thought he could escape so easily from the Irken, so much stupider…the last time had only been luck, and a lot of it, but this time, it was mandatory, Dib needed to die…

Zim’s chair turned around to face the large window from which the Earth was visible in his space station…he already knew how to end the human’s miserable existence…the only background sound was the humming of a particle accelerator stored in one of the dimensional cabinets…

After programming the station to maintain the accelerator active and producing positrons non-stop until further notice, Zim went for his cruiser and flew back to Earth, it was night already anyway, no one would notice if even during daytime they were stupid enough to not acknowledge it…

-.-

Membrane entered the hospital and began to walk down the long corridor that would take him to his son’s room, he didn’t know what to expect after those dreams, he didn’t receive any kind of notice about Dib’s condition changing, but he didn’t know if he could trust reality anymore...the blinds were down, he didn’t remember them being like that the last time he’d visited, maybe one of the nurses had lowered them as to not disturb his catatonic son with the constant come and go inside the hospital…his hands were shaking when he grabbed the doorknob and turned it slowly, pushing the door open…

But nothing could compare to his surprise when he saw the room was completely and utterly empty…as soon as his legs could move after the shock he ran to the nurses station and told them his son had disappeared…a nurse went with him to Dib’s room and checked all the devices, they’d all being either disconnected or silenced, and the alarm had been turned off, he’d thought about it beforehand…

Suddenly the words ‘an alien’s been spying you’ rang very symbolically inside Membrane’s head…he told the nurse he wanted to know if Dib got back and to alert the police, his son was obviously still alive and quite conscious, but he was in no condition to be running around aimlessly…he started for the green house of his son’s green foreign friend…no, of the alien…

-.-

“Master, there’s someone at the front door…”
“What? Those useless gnomes!! I’ll have to change them again!! Let the robot-parents handle it…”

The computer was silent for a little while…

“But…master…it’s the scientist that you studied the last time…”

Zim’s antennae perked up…

“What!? Really!?”
“Yes…”

Zim’s lanky fingers drummed a bit over the console…

“How very convenient…computer!! Deactivate the robot-parents, I’ll handle it…”

-.-

Membrane couldn’t believe what he was doing, Dib was right, he never was one to go by his instincts or his feelings at all, but lately he couldn’t believe a lot of things, and lately he’d not been himself…the green, disguised alien that opened the door didn’t seem very pleased with his presence…

“What are you doing here!?”

Membrane hadn’t seen the green kid in some years, apparently he’d grown, but the difference in height was still there...making herself notice only to annoy the Irken…

“I need to know what do you want…if what Dib said is right…you’ve messed up my life more than you can imagine…and I don’t think I can take it anymore…”
“Is that so?”

Zim leaned a bit forward, grabbing Membrane’s lab coat and pulling the human inside only to close the door and slam the scientist against it…he wasn’t as tall as Membrane, but it was enough for him to open Membrane’s lab coat and sneak his hands inside, wounding them around the scientist’s skinny middle…he felt cold to the touch, how unusual, and he was shaking, Zim’s head resting against Membrane’s shoulder…and soon enough Membrane’s hands were pressed against Zim’s hips and slid up to rest on the small of his back and his forehead upon Zim’s shoulder, he was…so doomed…

“You do realize you’ve just lost it, yes?”

Membrane nodded very lightly and as much as he could in that position…a clawed hand crawled its way up over Membrane’s side, making him squirm a bit and latched itself to Membrane’s hair…pulling his head back a bit, but not lifting it completely, Zim kissed his neck, and remained there breathing on his ear, he only wanted to say something…but something very important, so he dug his nails on the back of Membrane’s neck to get his attention…

“I’m going to kill him…and don’t even bother trying to stop me…do you really want to lose him? Won’t you regret it?”

Membrane’s hands clenched on Zim’s clothes…

“…I don’t know…”

Zim smiled, what else could be better than a confused human??? Possessiveness was the easiest way to demonstrate love…

“Then be ready to give absolutely everything up because now you belong to me…”
“You already messed up my life beyond repair…”
“I like the sound of that…”

Zim let his claw scratch their way down to Membrane’s waist before letting go of him…the scientist collapsed to his knees in front of the alien…his hands holding Zim’s legs loosely…

“What am I going to do?”
“Nothing…absolutely nothing…”

Zim petted Membrane’s head…

-.-

“And now, breaking news live from outside of the Membrane Labs, one of the scientists working there tells us that professor Membrane has disappeared, everything is a chaos in here, the scientists have gone crazy…and, well, apparently, the professor just stopped coming altogether, his son, Dib, has disappeared too, the only one left is his daughter, however, she doesn’t know anything of their whereabouts…it’s been 3 weeks already, and it just looks like they vanished into thin air…we’ll keep on informing…back to the studio…”

The boy sitting in a table at the far end at the back of the little restaurant turned to look slowly at the TV screen, his eyes widening a bit, the Membrane Labs did seem like they were falling into chaos…and the words the reporter had spoken only added to his anxiety…everything was happening too fast…Zim had obtained what he wanted, but he’d also lost sight of his mission…and Dib wasn’t willing to stop him…not just yet…

“Damn…I’m running out of time…”
