Next day

The Phoenix Foundation HQ

Next morning P.T. came early to the Phoenix HQ so i came along with her. She told me to stay at home but i didn't listen to her....as always. She got to her work and i was just roaming around.

And as i walking to the War room, i found Mac already sitting alone on the couch inside. He was sitting with his feet up on the table in front of him, doing something with a paperclip in his hands. The first thing that came to my mind to see him was..
How could she do that to him!
I stood there observing him through the glass for a second when suddenly...

"Are you planing to stand there all day or you're gonna come in?"
Mac suddenly spoke up without even looking my way.

Surprised, for a second i thought how did he know about my presence when i didn't even make a noise.

"Oh come on Addi, he's an agent! He's supposed be aware of his surroundings."
I told myself in my head.

I cleared my throat before entering the room. And as i did Mac put his feet off the table, sitting straight. My eyes went on the bowl full of paperclips on the table which i didn't notice before.

"Hey!" I greeted him with a smile.
"Hey!" Mac smiled back.

"What are you doing here alone?" I asked taking a seat beside him after placing my side bag on the table.

"Uh.. just waiting for everybody. Thornton called everyone early so. "

I nodded at his answer.

"And you? What are you doing here so early?" I gazed up at Mac again at his question.

"P.T. was coming so. I didn't want to be alone at home. Though, there were alot of armed guards for my company but I'd rather be with humans than guns." Mac laughed a little at that. And so did i.

"I thought you'd want to take rest after what happened yesterday. I mean, it was quite a long day." Mac continued.

"Yeah, it was. But i slept well last night. The water you gave me still had some effects on me. "
I said making Mac freeze completely in his seat. Then he slowly lifted his gaze at me. Probably trying to figure out what to say.

"Yup, i figured it out." I added when Mac couldn't say anything.

"Uh..Look, I'm sorry..okay. I know i shouldn't have done that but you were so scared and I couldn't think of anything better than this. But don't worry, it was only a sleeping pill kind of effect. Nothing harmful." Mac explained.
