Soooo this is like my fifth story so check out the others. Hope you enjoy. R and R

It started out to be a typical day for MYTH Inc. Aahz and Guido were duking it out, yelling about something or rather. Skeeve and Nunzio were out getting coffee from the new coffee shop just down the street at the Bazaar. They had gone there every day for the last two weeks so the owner, Barry, gave them their own designated cups. "Look I told you Nunzio was just available at the time so they just left," Aahz yelled into Guido's face.

"Yeah well, maybe I don't appreciate…," and on and on and on.

Bunny sighed as she heard the yelling from her office upstairs. She was doing what Bunny did best, balancing checks and taking care of costs.

Tanada was watching the duo from the upstairs resting her arm on the banister. Suddenly her strong nose caught a whiff of something delicious, something coffee. She chuckled as Skeeve and Nunzio walked in carrying cups of coffee. She walked downstairs and gave Skeeve a peck on the cheek and took her coffee, smiling as he blushed furiously; that was the plan anyway. Until Bunny bounded down the stairs and landed gracefully in front of Skeeve.

He smiled and handed her the coffee, "Your favorite, caramel mocha," he said.

She took it and smiled , " You always know don't you," she giggled and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and bounded up the stairs.

He watched her fondly and felt a pull as Tanda grabbed it rather viciously from his hands and walked away with a small "Hm."

Skeeve stared after her wondering what he did when he felt a more gentle tug and say Massha taking her coffee, "Way to go tiger," she said with a slight wink and hobbled away.

Skeeve shook his head and handed Aahz his coffee, "Thanks," and took a long draught. He looked back up at Skeeve who just seemed to be standing there, " You drink yours already?"

"What? Oh yeah," he said coming back from his imagination. Suddenly he felt dizzy; he wobbled and felt a strong hand grasp his shoulder, steadying him.

"You ok partner?"

Skeeve massaged his temples and nodded, "Got a headache going to bed," he said and walked out of the room.

Aahz tilted his head curiously and shrugged and drank more of his coffee when all of a sudden he heard a load "THUD," echo out of the hallway.

"Skeeve," he yelled as he ran to the stairs, followed by a worried Nunzio and Guido. As he reached the stairs he gasped and knelt by his fallen friend. "Skeeve, Oi, Skeeve," he said shaking him lightly, "Wake up," he said shaking him harder. Panic was in his voice, you had to dig deep but it was there.

"What's wrong with him," Nunzio asked worriedly just as the three girls (well just as girly as Massha could get) ran from the opposite room and to Skeeve.

"What happened to him," Bunny asked horrified.

Aahz shook his head, "Well we can't just leave him on the stairs," he mumbled and he picked him up Bridal style and carried him into his room and set him onto the bed. Skeeve lay limply on the mattress as though he was… drugged! That's it; Aahz snapped his fingers and ran downstairs. The others simply watched him go and turned back to Skeeve.

"Is he going to be alright," Bunny asked, tears in her voice.

"Yeah Bun he'll be fine," Guido said more to reassure himself than her.

"Guys get down here," Aahz called from the living room.

They all reluctantly left Skeeve and went to the living room.

Aahz stood somewhat proudly and held up Skeeve's coffee cup.

"So," Guido said slightly annoyed.

Aahz sighed, "So this is what did it," he said with a growl.

"Did what," Bunny asked.

"Skeeve was drugged with this," he held the cup up higher.

"Why would anyone want to drug Skeeve," Tanda said.

Aahz shook his head, "But if we want answers I suggest we look-," But he was cut off by shuffling upstairs in Skeeve's room.

Everyone stopped listening, then when all was quiet they all ran upstairs.

They all froze as they entered the room and stared at Skeeve's bed because, it was empty.

Aahz was the first to act and he stomped forward and grabbed what looked like a letter and all but tore it open, he read it aloud,

Dear old friend Aahz,

I have missed you so. It has been quite a while since you last visited me at the Kingdom. The last time you stayed you were my honored guest, but then you had to stick your filthy green nose in other's business. You ruined my chances of ever being reelected as Pres., so you now, I'm going to ruin your partner. Why, you may ask, Well here I'll tell you. This Skeeve the great, such a drab name by the way, ugh, is the most important thing in your life, so I'm just going to keep the cute little Khlad here as my pet. Doesn't that sound wonderful, oh I can't wait to play with him in the torture will love it in my castle just as much as you did, won't it,

Your dearest friend

Murleek

Aahz's hands shook and tremble with rage and fear. His eyes trailed off the page barely believing what he was reading.

Tanada sank to the floor, "Oh God," she mumbled, "Oh God no."
