The Other O'Reilly Factor

This is Frémont Memorial Hospital. It's where the First Lady's being cared for.

It's nighttime. A light rain falls. Every now and then, cars pass. Uncle Sam pays good money to make sure no one goes upstairs just to get the First Lady's autograph.

Inside, she's still catatonic. She blinks now...but that's about all she does better...

Through the south entrance, Aaron O'Reilly enters. At the desk, he IDs himself, and asks them about Mellie.

While they're at work, Aaron siezes the opportunity. He sprays them, with gas from a can. They all yawn, and collapse. Aaron joins them, gathers what he needs to visit Mellie, and takes an elevator upstairs. An armed android marches past the elevator door, as it closes.

In a tank down the hall, an electric eel swims. Its elevator opens. Aaron steps out, and slithers towards the tank. The knifefish senses Aaron's neurotic signals, and swims to the tank's glass.

"I'm here to see Mellie," he says, in a subtle Vietnamese accent. "Make sure no one bothers us."

YES, MR. O'REILLY, the knifefish says.

Aaron sighs, and proceeds towards Mellie's room. He doesn't know how he feels, when people call him "Mr. O'Reilly..."

As any fool can see, Aaron isn't nearly as ticklish when he goes to the hospital. But then, he doesn't really have anything funny on his mind right now...

He slips into Mellie's room. He closes the door behind him. He's hung a DO NOT DISTURB sign on the handle. Now, the First Lady is all his...

From outside, one can hear a boy and girl moaning...or rather, a boy and a woman. With the electric eel's help, none of the nurses who're on duty tonight will hear anything, or see any fog, coming out of the First Lady's hospital room...
