Finally something replaced the black nothing: pain. A steady throb of pain pierced the absence of all and Elliea realized she was not smashed yet. She groaned loudly but couldn’t really hear anything. Someone touched her shoulder and she jerked in shock and pain before slowly opening her eyes. A strange man was peering down at her and she instinctively struck out at his throat and eyes regardless of her blurry vision. She tried to shout but just pathetic gibberish came out. The man gripped her wrists and stuck her with a needle. Elliea felt her arms slowly go numb. She immediately started crying because of the overwhelming feeling of helplessness and frustration. At last a familiar face leaned over her, it was Katie wearing a lovely infinity scarf and she looked sympathetic. She gently wiped Elliea’s face clean and then adjusted something on her head, finally Elliea could hear once again. “Hey just relax, you’re safe now. Here….let me help you sit up.” Katie pushed the pillows behind the injured girl up. Elliea swallowed painfully, “Ouch” Katie moved to pour a glass of water and helped her friend to drink. “It will feel better little by little. You might even be able to hobble around with help by tonight.” Elliea frowned, “Tonight?” Katie nodded, “Yes, our personal physician was tending to you during the night. I’m so sorry, When I saw you coming over the fence through the window I ran as fast as I could to call the dogs off. But…” She bit her lip and swept her eyes up and down Ellie before cringing. Elliea’s head wobbled from side to side as she propped herself up on an elbow. “Ow….what are my injuries?” Katie tipped her head, “Lots and lots of stitches. Take it easy okay.” Elliea gently felt around her head and neck, “Why did you have my ears covered?” Katie pointed at the back of her friend’s neck, “You wanna try and get up slowly? If you can sit at the table I’ll get you some food and meds.” Elliea grimaces as she slowly moved to perch on the edge of the bed, “Right, perfect.”
Katie nodded, “Yes, our personal physician was tending to you during the night. I’m so sorry, When I saw you coming over the fence through the window I ran as fast as I could to call the dogs off.

Ugh. Looks like Elliea's going to be out of commission for a while. OxO

Indeed....hopefully this doesn't mess up anything in the mission. O.O
Conner looked around the small seafood shop while Landon spoke to the kiwi in charge of the place. In this small place he could almost forget the state of their world. There were a few small pockets like this left in the world. He reached up and gently touched one of the many curiosities hanging from the roof. Windchimes jangled merrily and shells tapped against everything. Landon snapped his fingers to catch Conner’s attention so the latter joined his friend at the counter. The man behind it peered at them both in a manner that was neither particularly friendly or unfriendly. Landon nodded his head towards the counter man. “This fellow says that a guy by our description of Alex came in two weeks ago and got milk, batteries, lemons, and exactly seven pieces of bread….” Con blinked twice in rapid succession, “Seven.....ok paranoia is weeeeeird.” Landon shrugged, “Whatever we just need to find the man.” The guy behind the counter leaned over, “Ey he headed towards the center of the island. That’s all I know.” It was a dismissal, not an unkind one at all though but clearly a goodbye. The two agents set out once again in the general direction that the Alex had taken. This was proving to be difficult just as they had expected. The city was pretty much just as bad as everywhere else, crime was rampant all over the globe in the cities. The villages were less so ridden but usually extremely poor. Both of the boys were tense and on edge as they traversed the town streets. They paused on a street corner and Landon squinted into the sun, “You know...to be honest I’m not sure how to find Alex. They basically threw us out here with nothing to go on except random chance on the hope you will find him in passing among thousands of people.” Con glanced sideways at him, “We could call Cypher…” Landon just kind of glared at his friend. Con took out his phone and edged away, “I’ll just call over here then..”

I'm trying quite hard not to crack myself up by mentally picturing a fat kiwi fruit standing behind the counter of the shop. x3
I have a feeling Alex probably isn't going to be found unless he wants to be found.
