Zed took one look in the closet and slammed the door again. He couldn't have seen what he thought that he had seen. He reached out and opened the door again. Things would be normal this time. There they were though, Elle and X, the two agents voted most likely to kill each other in an informal betting pool. Elle was cradled in his arms and they were kissing, seriously kissing, Zed noted in shock. He quickly slammed the door shut again before he could see anymore.
"Did you see what I saw?" he asked Kay. Maybe it had all been an hallucination.v "I definately saw it," Kay said as he stared at the closed door. He couldn't believe that he saw it but he had definately seen it.
"Should have known she was going to snap sooner or later. I mean, she used to cut dead bodies up for a living. A person can't be too stable to do that," Jay muttered. "I think I better go and have a little talk with Zeeltor." With that he turned and pushed his way through the crowd heading towards the medical lab. Poor Elle. She was so young to have lost her mind too.
"I can't believe this," Zed grumbled as he pounded on the closet door. "I want to see both of you in my office, pronto!"
"I told you so," X's mother said as she followed Zed down the hall towards Zed's office. "So, who do I have to speak to to start arranging the wedding?"
*******
"Let me go!" Elle hissed as she squirmed out of X's arms. "What in the world do you think you were doing?! Exactly where did you learn to kiss like that?"
"I saw it on television. I hit the wrong button and there were these two hideous humans doing that and....." X tried to explain.
"Well, don't do it again! Humans don't kiss like that unless they actually like each other, which we don't! I can't believe this! Zed is going to fire both of us over this. Unless he has a heart attack first, that is! I wonder what the penalty is for killing your boss?"
"Twenty years of hard labor, the last time I checked," X said earning him a glare from Elle. "I was just curious!"
"I don't even want to know," Elle murmured as she pushed the closet door open and stepped out, pushing her way through the crowd without even glancing at her fellow agents. Five minutes of faking being engaged to X and her life was in shambles. How was she ever going to last until his mom left?
