They were all laughing at him. All of them, gossiping about his
latest failure.
If Agent Jay's low score on the V.B.E. wasn't enough to chew on, they
had to bring him into it. Well, he'll show them.
X strode through the Commons Area, keeping his eyes down to avoid eye
contact with those who were laughing at him. He made his way over to
the buffet table.
He glanced at the spread before him and grimace in distaste at the
choice foods. For the majority of the selections, they were human
food, which most species would consider more like trash scraps. He
wouldn't even dream of touching much less eat this garbage.
A male human agent slid next to him. "Sorry X, they're serving only
the good food today."
X frowned and turned to the large man. "Pity. Well, look in the
garbage bin and you might find something to your taste." With that he
picked up a Crudian squash and fruit juice, then started to turn and
leave. Suddenly he felt himself being jerked back by the collar.
"Still a smart mouth aren't you?"
X felt himself being lifted. He tried to keep his balance and he
glared at his opposition. "I'm warning you small ears, back off."
"Small ears? Ha! You're still wearing your human suit. Are you trying
to hide your ugly face from your adoring public?" The human shook him
and laughed.
That did it. X took the lunch tray and smashed it upon the human's
face. Soon after a fight broke out between the two. After several
blows and bouts, the fight stopped when Kay and Jay pulled them apart.
"That's enough you two," Kay said. He had to pin one of X's arms to
make him hold still.
Then Zed came in from around the corner with Elle.
Zed sighed and rolled his eyes. "I should have known." He took a step
forward. "Okay, what happened?"
"He threw his food on me," the agent said quickly. He grimaced at
what the juice did to his suit. It would take at least 3 days of
bleaching for it to come out of the shirt.
Zed turned to X. "Is this true?"
"Yes."
"Then you are to go to your quarters without your evening meal."
"But."
"Now!" Zed commanded with a surprisingly harsh tone. His eyes held a
look of authority, which dared him to say another word.
Dejectedly, X just kept a straight side as he did as he was ordered.
