Kay glanced at the clock on the LTD's dash. 4:30. He put the x-ray goggles back on and glanced up at Elle and X's room again. No activity, a very good thing considering what they had suspected had happened a few hours before.
Suddenly, the communicator beeped and a moment later Zed's face appeared on the screen. "How are things?" he asked, silently crossing his fingers that Kay would tell him all was quiet. He never should have went along with this stupid charade, should have made X face his mom and tell her the truth. If anything happened because of this, it would be his fault.
"Everything seems quiet so far." Kay suddenly frowned as he dectected movement in the room. Now what was X up to? He saw the alien raising his arm, bringing it down towards Elle's throat. Kay reached for the door handle as he watched. Was X trying to strangle her or.... He let out a sigh when he suddenly realized what X was doing, a sigh that quickly turned into a sound of puzzlement. X was snuggling up to Elle, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. What in the world were those two up to?
"Kay? What's going on?" Zed demanded when Kay stopped speaking. They were killing each other. He just knew it.
"Nothing. Just X moving in his sleep," Kay muttered with a shake of his head as he sank back into his seat. That had to be what was going on. He couldn't think of any other reason for X to snuggle up to a human unless he was unaware of what he was doing.
"Good," Zed murmured. "Kay, I'm going to make a reservation at the hotel for you. I don't think it's safe for Elle and X to be alone together right now."
"Probably a good idea," Kay said with a nod of agreement.
"I'll send Jay up first thing with some clothes," Zed told him. "Keep an eye on them but don't let them see you."
