Elephant (Part 2)
The corridor outside Charles' quarters were finally
quiet. There'd been a lot of comotion for the past
half hour. Initially two technicians had been having a
minor row over who was going to weld the wall panel,
that had mysteriously fallen off, back on. Soon the
argument had grown into a full-blown punch-up between
the two rather well-built men. The whole thing had
ended rather abruptly. One of the men said "Look, this
is getting us nowhere. Let me buy you a drink" and so
they wandered off down the corridor.
Charlie got up and walked, rather shakily, over to
the sink. He cleaned his teeth, had a wash, and
climbed into his bed. Soon after he fell asleep a
message arrived on the vid screen. "I need that money
by tomorrow" is what it said. Charles needed carming
down. He reached under his pillow and pulled out his
emergency supply of G.O.D and snorted the entire 3kg -
enough to kill 20 elephants, had they not been
extinct.
