Chap 18
The news that Sass had been poisoned had left every one frazzled.
Kurumi has had him for a while now....I hope every things okay.Jackie thought. Not long after Jackie had thought of how things were Kurumi came out of her office. She looked exhausted. She threw some gloves in the trash can beside her office.
" I've got good news. And I've got bad news." She said with her hands behind her back untying an apron stained with blood from her several years of service.
" Let's here the good news first.." Jackie said.
" Ok. He's going to be fine. He's a lot stronger than he looks. Than again it some times takes hours before symptoms will show." She said and hung threw the apron on the ground.
" The bad news?" Greasy asked with an edge of worry.
" He's in a coma right now. And I don't know the extent of the damage the cyanide caused." Kurumi adjusted her studded belt.
" What did you do to him?" Greasy asked again.
" Well...I increased his body's ability to excrete cyanide. It will leave him a little groggy..." Kurumi sighed.
" I am really tired. I think I'm going to bed. Oh you should thank Destiny. She told me what happened. Had she not said anything he would be dead." Every one watched as Kurumi walked to her room.
The morning brought more shocks and twists. Sass was still not up. This bothered Jackie. But it was forgotten because Aden had come in through the door.
" Hey! Why is every one so down?" He said when he opened the door.
Biscuit told him everything that had happened that week. He listened.
" Wow. How long has he been asleep?" Aden asked.
" Oh... for maybe a day and half."
Everyone looked at the living room entrance. There stood Sass. He looked like pale. His amber eyes looked dusted.
" Who are you?" Sass asked in a bad tone.
" I'm Aden nice to meet you." Aden put up his hand. Smarty shook it weakly.
" I almost forgot! I have the chemical analysis done for you. I think you should take a real good look at it.
" Aden! Your already leaving?" Biscuit made a sad face.
" Yeah sorry. I have to be back at the lab in 30 minutes." He said. " but your still pretty every time I see you." He winked a Biscuit.
" ADEN! GO!" Biscuit blushed.
" Destiny is it?" Sass had found her hiding in kitchen.
" Look I'm sorry! I didn't want to! I had to! " She threw her hands up with a knife. He said nothing. He just grabbed on apple from the fruit bowl. Destiny lowered her hands but didn't put down the knife.
" I just thought I should say thank you. I'm not mad. I owe you." He said as he used his dagger to cut a piece of the apple off.
" Well your welcome. I just thought it was common since." She tried to act normal.
Was there a wall or something she could smack herself with?
" If you need anything or want anything I'll do what I can do." He said. He ate the apple piece.
" I am really sorry about the whole thing..." She said she put the knife back but she kept it on the counter.
" Not your fault. Or at least I hope not." He looked at her with second thoughts.
" I don't mean that I mean...this.." She pulled at her blue vest.
" Ah... no worries. I know you did it because you had to. " He left the kitchen.
" Greasy if you think your the king of sleuth. Your not." Sass said.
" Ahh...how sweet." Greasy said as he popped up from behind a potted plant.
" What?" Smarty thought he knew where Greasy's head was going.
" Boss...she saved your life. You said yourself ' if you ever need anything or want anything I'll do what I can do' " Greasy said trying to imitate Sass's voice. It didn't work well with his accent.
" So? I owe her a favor." He shrugged.
" Boss, that's practically an invite! I think you are going to owe her more than a 'favor' " Greasy chuckled at his thought of what was forming. Smarty slapped Greasy in the back of his head.
The idiot. I don't like her. He's just stuck in the gutter as always....Ahh....This is so fun...
