SCP 1471 [A one of a kind friend.]

XXIII

One funny coment or remark would have been enough to try and make the situation a little less tense, but I had nothing.

How to convince an extremely dangerous anomaly that the people who had been torturing them all this time were not evil.

There was an uncomfortable silence, full of tension.

The sound of a phone notification was what broke the silence.

-[We have searched the archives and are happy to tell you that we have found a result].

(Are happy to tell you...?)

-[I would send you the report of the scp in question..]
-[But you don't have access...]

-[I don't have access to know if that anomaly is going to want to kill me?]

-[Don't worry..]
-[The doctor has never tried to harm anyone..]

-[The doctor?]

-[Thank you very much for using our messenger service!]

The option to send a message was now grayed out and disabled.

-It seems... -I said putting my phone back in my pocket.
-I have an appointment with a doctor who is crazy about cures...?

-A doctor? -Mal0 asked in her usual glitchy tone.
-Those who do surgery?

-Y-Yeah...-I added, shaking as I imagined it.

-I should make lunch, it's almost time. -She said, walking to the kitchen while balancing the teacups and plates.

-Try not to make omelets for the tenth time... I added accompanying her to the kitchen and leaving 682 behind.

-I wasn't going to!

I was lying down in my new room, bored out of my mind.

My room was completely empty, except for a bed and a nightstand.
I missed my posters and my book collection.
But I missed my computer even more.

At that moment Mal0 entered the room and sat right besides me.

-You miss your old room, don't you?

-Yeah..

-It is my fault that you are here...
-I'm sorry.

-Don't say that. -I said sitting up.

-But it's true, I...

-It's like I'm taking a vacation from my everyday life.

The anomaly took a deep sigh and just looked at me.

-If you say so...

At that moment the bell rang at the main door.
It never brought any good news.

We both went downstairs to open the door, but 682 had beaten us to it.
There was a man on the doorframe saying something to the lizard.

-N-No request was received... -The man stuttered.

-In case they can't grant it... I'll have to go myself. -It said, showing its shark-like teeth.

-I'll do what I can! -Said the man, almost running from the entrance.

-What happened?

-I simply asked for something. -The lizard replied.

(I didn't even want to imagine what this lizard could have asked for...)
(Human sacrifices, the souls of the innocent?)

-What did you ask for? -Mal0 asked without hesitation.

-It doesn't concern you.

Swiftly defeated Mal0 laid down on the couch and sighed.

-To tell you the truth, I'm a little bored. -She said, fiddling with her claws.
-The only fun I've had since we arrived was disabling the cameras in the bathroom.

-Cameras in the bathroom...?

-Yes, I didn't like being seen there.

-Now I remember that one of the scientists had complimented me in my dog washing skills.

-I'm not a dog! -Sh exclaimed, jumping from the sofa.

-You're not a dog, Mal0 -I said, patting her fluffy head.

-Of course not ! -She said, wagging her tail around.
-...
-Hey! -She exclaimed as she realized what i was doing.

Laughing, I laid down next to her, her fur soft as ever.
Although it still had that distinctive smell of ash.

I received a message at the same time I took my phone out of my pocket.

[Hello Quentin.]

[Hello?]

(I was about to ask "how do you know my name, but by now everyone knows everything about me).

[This works!]
[＼(°o°)／]

[I'm glad it works, but who are you?]

[I can't tell you my name]

[Why not?]

[For my safety.]

[I see.]

[Just...]
[Be cautious tomorrow..]

(Who do you think you are by being so mysterious...)
(I was not afraid of the "unknown messenger" much of my fear for them was gone thanks to Mal0.)

-I tried locating the messager, but i couldn't do anything. -She said while lowering her ears.

-Don't worry about it Mal0..

(Does this thing even have a SIM card?)
