The White Sheep and The Black Wolf Part16
For the next 15 minutes, Elle tried to call someone from MIB by the
ship communications systems, but with no success. What's going on?
she thought.
After what seemed to be the 12th call, Elle gave up. Something was
definitely wrong. She had to go back and check, even if it did mean
facing Zed for breaking the rules.
She strode into the corridor that lead to the cabins. Stepping up to
X's door, she knocked. Elle really wished she didn't have to talk to
him. After upsetting him, she didn't want to confront him. But since
she decided to investigate what was happening at MIB, she needed to
inform him of it and ask whether he wanted to join her or not.
Elle wondered why see felt so light-headed as she waited at the door.
There was also a strange fluttering feeling in the pit of her
stomach. Elle wished these feelings would go away since she already
had other problems to deal with. Such as her heavy conscience.
Why should I feel so guilty for telling X the truth of his behavior?
Why did he had to take it so hard? She should've felt triumphant that
she brought his ego down. But why didn't she?
Thinking that X didn't hear her knock, she entered.
Elle found him laying on the floor of the ship upon some bed sheets,
staring absently at the digital clock before him.
She cleared her throat and waited for him to turn and look at her.
Yet he did not, and continued to gaze vacantly at space.
At first Elle thought he was ignoring her. But something in the back
of her mind told her something was definitely wrong.
Rolling X over to face her, she noticed that his pupils were dilated.
Glancing at his hand her suspicions were confirmed.
In his hand, laid an empty medicine bottle.
