165. A Dose of Confusion

Bookmark had a look of uncertainty in her eyes. "I...I don't know. I love my Mimi...I don't want them to hurt themself."

Thread transferred back into her wheelchair from Bookmark's bed. "You probably don't know the answer to this, but...do you know where your Mimi keeps the shots?"

Bookmark nodded. "I actually do, it's on their nightstand in their room."

Flare had a bold idea. "Maybe we can steal them from their room, that way they don't have to take them anymore!"

"Wait!" Thread whispered. "Didn't your Mom say that she and your Mimi would be in her room?"

Bookmark shook her head, still uncertain about the whole idea. "Well...my moms room is actually on the other side of the hall; they each have their own rooms. My Mimi's room is down the hall, next to the bathroom. We might be able to sneak in if we're quiet."

Flare felt mischievous, like she was about to commit some kind of robbery. "Alrighty then, let's do this!"

The three girls exited Bookmark's room and made their way to Price Tag's room. Upon opening the door, the girls saw it; a box, containing a bunch of needles and dosages of medicine. Bookmark swiftly ran in, grabbed the box, and ran out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Nice work!" Thread exclaimed. The three girls headed back into Bookmark's room, relieved that her Mimi was no longer in danger of developing an addiction to whatever drug they were taking. Bookmark took the box, and slipped it under her bed, hoping that it was a good enough spot where Price Tag couldn't find it.

"Glad we took care of that!" Bookmark said with a smile. "Thanks for the help you two, you know how much I love my Mimi!"

Thread gave Bookmark a hug, "Of course, that's what friends are for. I think your Mimi's pretty cool, I don't want them doing something they shouldn't either."

Flare took out her phone again, opening the episode they were in the middle of watching. "Now, let's get back to this, shall we?"

The girls all nodded, and got back on Bookmark's bed to continue their episode watching.

A little while later, Price Tag headed back to their room, hoping to get back to catching up on some work stuff. However, upon opening the door, they quickly realized that the box that contained their shots was missing.

"Book!" Price Tag shouted across the hall.

Book exited her room. "Yeah Taggy, what's up."

Price Tag was a little bit worried, but tried to keep calm. "You didn't happen to do anything with my shots, did you?"

Book shook her head. "No, why? Did you misplace them?"

Price Tag was growing visibly frustrated. "I could have sworn the last time I was in my room they were right on my nightstand, like they always were, but the box just disappeared somehow!"

Book followed Price Tag into their room. "That's strange, I'm sure they're here somewhere."

Book and Price Tag thoroughly examined Price Tag's room, lifting up every piece of furniture, looking under the bed, and searching just about every nook and cranny. But no matter how hard they looked, the box was still nowhere to be found.

"Where in the world could they be!" Taggy exclaimed, clearly growing anxious.

Book took a hold of their string, "Taggy, calm down, it's gonna be okay!" After exiting the bedroom and heading back down the hall, Book's eyes focused on the door to Bookmark's room.
