Mumbo ran around Xisuma's base frantically. The scream had echoed off the walls, and it felt impossible to locate where it had come from. Dead silence returned. Mumbo started to open all of the doors, hoping that maybe one of them could lead him to X. He got to the last door and something unexpected happened. The door flew open and slammed right into his outstretched arm.
Mumbo cried out, half from pain and half from surprise. Staring from the doorway was Xisuma.
"ARE YOU OK? I HEARD YOU SCREAM," Mumbo basically yelled.
"I'm alright now. I have a bit of a zombie problem downstairs and one got a lucky hit in. I fell and hit a wall. Dislocated my shoulder too. I just put it back into place." X just shrugged it off like it was no big deal.
"You sounded like you were in such genuine pain, do you need a healing potion?" Mumbo hurriedly pulled out a healing potion. He would often do stupid things so he liked to keep one on hand at all times.
Xisuma accepted it with a nod and pulled out a straw. He stuck it in the potion and drank it with his helmet still on. Mumbo raised a questioning eyebrow.
"I've been having breathing problems today," X explained once he had downed the potion.
Mumbo nodded. "So, new suit?"
"It's my first time wearing it, but I've had a spare for a while. Being prepared can never hurt."
A voice came from the hallway, "Preparation is important. Sometimes people can rush into things before they truly know their circumstances." He turned to see Joe, leaning against a doorway.
"Hey Joe!" Mumbo called out.
"Howdy Mumbo," Joe said without his usual enthusiasm. "Can I talk to... X... for a moment?"
Looking over at Xisuma it was hard to tell through the glass, but he looked startled. "Uhhh, sure. I'm going to go find Doc. He was worried about you Xisuma."
There was an air of awkwardness that shrouded the hallway. Mumbo couldn't help but feel relieved to leave.
Shutting the door behind him, Mumbo could have sworn he heard Joe say, "Who are you?" but surely he was just hearing things.

Oh no. What have I done?
Sorry for the short chapter.
