Max was reading Naruto when Salwa burst into his room. They both stared at each other, wondering who should speak first. An awkward silence slowly began to fall as both didn't look away, they were daring each other to speak.
"What?" Max asked finally, breaking the silence. When Salwa didn't answer, he went back to reading. He watched her out of his peripheral vision, but eventually gave up reading when he saw her shoulders slump.
"WHAT?!" he yelled, louder this time. He stood up, dropping the book in the process, and started pacing. "Is this about how someone is killing everyone? How someone is sneaking into our rooms? Or, about who's going to die next? Spit it out, will you!"
Salwa started, staring wide eyed at Max.
"What the hell happened to you now?" Max sighed and cradled his head on his knees as Salwa slowly started to explain what had happened before they went down to breakfast. The complete story of who she suspected to be behind the deaths.
