The White Sheep and The Black Wolf Part15
"Hey, you said that you would let me go free with my loot after
helping you," the Zulian said as they tied him into one of the
cockpit chairs.
"Oh I did, didn't I?" Elle said. But she gave him a sly grin. "But I
didn't say help me with what."
"This is not fair! I want my money! I want..."
"You'll want to close that mouth before I knock you senseless, lizard-
lips," X muttered.
"The name is Hutak, ya creep."
X raised his arm in a mock hit. That shut Hutak up. "Why do we even
keep him?" he muttered.
Elle shrugged. "Hey, it's not a bad idea to keep a Zulian hostage
until he can prove he's not really tricking us."
"Well I think we just ought to beat it out of him."
"X , stop fooling around and come here. We need to contact MIB and..."
"Why!?! X asked rather loudly.
Elle frowned at him. "You still think that running away would solve
your problems? You are so stubborn. I mean Zed was hard on you but he
will be like that only for a while and..."
X turned away. "You don't understand, Elle. When I first came here,
I've hop to start over again, especially after those 6 suspensions.
But for the past few months I've found that I didn't fit in. I was no
better off than when I first set foot on this planet."
"X , it's your fault that no one likes you. What with that obnoxious
behavior and prejudice against humans, you deserved to get the cold
shoulder!" Elle practically shouted at him. The frustration she had
for the past few months of tolerating his smugness boiled up from
inside her.
X turned on her, so sharply that Elle feared that he would strike
her. But instead he stared at her, his large eyes baring a look that
she knew all too well, the pain of loneliness.
For a few seconds they just stared at each other. Then X pulled away,
exiting the cockpit.
"X, wait," Elle spoke softly. But he was already gone.
Hutak, who had watched the confrontation looked at her. "Is this a
bad time to ask for a raise on my reward?"
"Hey, you said that you would let me go free with my loot after

cockpit chairs.
