Disclaimer: I DOn't own Code: Lyoko and its characters. I also own Dan.

In the hallway of Odd's and Ulrich's dorm building---

I made sure that Ulrich was sound asleep before making any kind of move. The fact that he swallowed the pill and the throat medicine he was given by the nurse earlier reassured me that he'd be out for a while. I looked over at him. He looked so peaceful even though he was suffering inside. Slowly arising from Odd's bed trying not to make a sound. As I stood up I saw his cell phone by his clock. 'I should give him my number. Just in case I'm not around.' I thought picking up the cell phone and exiting the room.

Even though I was assigned to look after him I too had to eat. I hate the food that the cafeteria serves though. The way they have their nutrition requirements set up the food can be at least 1/3 saturated fat. It's healthier to eat fruit and other simple foods in the morning not to mention they also taste better too.

As I entered in my number to Ulrich's speed dial my nose caught a whiff of the pungent odor that Odd was taking about earlier. It was vile; like something died. The repulsiveness of the aroma made me cover my nose with my arm. Then it hit me. I recognized the smell.

"No...God, please, no." I said to myself as my body started to shake. I took a few steps backwards until I was against the wall. It's been so long since I smelled that scent. It can't be...

Quickly, I dialed Jimbo's cell phone number. "Hello?" Jimbo Replied.

"Jimbo it's me, Dan. We have a big problem in Dormitory number two. Come over and bring your keys." I replied hanging up. Five minute later I heard the door squeak open. I instantly knew it Jimbo.

"It's in Sissy's room Jimbo." I said knowing that he would hear.

"Huh? Dan where are you?" He replied turning the corner, "Ah, what is that smell?!"

"That is the reason why I called you here." I said coming up form behind him. He turned and looked at me.

"What is it? Do you know?" He asked.

"Unfortunately, yes I do." I replied getting even more nervous, "It's the smell of decaying flesh." My eyes started to tear up from my words. "That is, decaying HUMAN flesh." I felt a streak of water come form my face as I fell to the floor weeping.

"Dan...don't do that. You could be wrong." Jimbo said trying to comfort me.

"Then go into Sissy's room and prove me wrong." I said in a weak voice. Jimbo walked up to Sissy's door, inserted the key and opened it. I knew that I was right. Someone is dead in Sissy's room; there is NO doubt about it in my mind. Once such a scent in smelled you never forget it. Ever.

"Sissy?" He asked with no reply. "Sissy!" He shouted running into her room. I followed him even though I knew the dreadful truth.

As I peered into her room I saw the terrible reality of what had happened. She had been shot in the forehead while she was in bed. Blood was all over her pillow, bed sheets and the floor near her bed. The blood was dried which meant that she had to have been dead for at least 12 hours. I tried to hold back my tear but I couldn't. Sissy's death brought back too many bad memories from my past when my best friends died.
