Arc: Level C [Continued]

April 14- Day 14C

    David laughs as he sits back in his chair and relaxes. "Well it's a pill. What do you expect-"

    I shake my head. "My other pill never worked this fast... in fact, it didn't work at all."

    "The pill I gave you stopped working?"

    "A-ah." I slowly nod my head. "Yeah... that's why I stopped taking it."

    "How long have you been dealing with your headaches then? Have they relapsed?"

    I sigh. "The pill was working... before my kidnapping. Though when I started using them again after, they completely lost its effect... And it just kept on getting worse from there..."

    He looks at me for a second before he sighs. "Why didn't you tell me?"

    "A-ah...," I quietly say to myself. "I... guess I never had the chance to? I didn't see you much... after the incident."

    "Ken, you could've come see me. I could've helped."

    I shake my head. "It's over now. At least I'm with you now..." I look over at the pill bottle. "How... how did you know to have it?"

    "I had a feeling," he says as he looks over at the pill bottle as well. He grabs it and hands it to me. "I had a feeling things would've changed. So use this instead. It'll help you much more compared to your past prescription." He begins to reorganize some of the items on his desk.

    "What would you have done... if I never came to you?"

    He stops fidgeting before he looks at me. He then lightly smiles as he rubs my hair. "Then I would've come to you." The light smile escapes as he looks down. "We can cancel today's meeting."

    "Hm?" I look up at him.

    "We were supposed to go to La Ville, remember? But it might be better if you rest."

    I shake my head. "No, I'm okay. Honestly."

    He sighs. "You tend to say you're okay even though you're not. You can rest here on the couch, that way we can still talk."

    I suddenly get up from my chair. "David, I'm fine. We can go."

    He studies me for a couple of seconds before sighing. "Ok." He grabs his keys from his desk and throws it to me. "You can start the car. I'll be right behind you."

    I nod my head as I walk towards the door. Though before I can get a chance to open it myself, Ethan enters through the door.

    "Ah, hey Ken," he says as he looks at me, then David. "If you two are busy, I can come back."

    "Don't worry, Ethan. You can come in. But make it quick. Ken and I are about to leave."

    "I'll go now," I tell David before tapping Ethan on the shoulder. "See you later," I say before finally heading out the door.

    As I head towards David's blue SUV, I notice Stylus walking back from wherever he came from. We both notice each other, causing Stylus to head towards me.

    "What are you doing out here?" he asks as he looks at David's car.

    After I unlock the car and start the engine, I look at him. "I could ask you the same thing."

    "I just finished dealing with Kaiden."

    "Ah," I say as I nod my head. "Is he home now then?"
