(This is bonus chapter #2 for September for meeting Patreon goal. Enjoy!)
(TL note: The title is a reference to a Chinese idiom: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.)
Shortly after, the exclusive ride of the Men in Black - a new but old-fashioned Cadillac - stopped around the corner. A man wearing a black suit and a poker face strode into the store.
This was Agent G of the Men in Black.
Every Man in Black must cut ties with their previous life before joining the agency. They must say farewell to their fingerprints, their personal information, their friends and family, and even their significant others. Like they said in the movie, they were the faceless shadows, they were everywhere yet no one could see them.
