The hollow void was back in Zora's belly, a churning black hole of emotion that sucked everything inside. Her face was blank as he turned and walked away, save for a single tear that made its way down her left cheek an inch before being roughly swiped away by the back of her hand. It was just as she had feared. He was still married to his job, the only thing that had changed between them was the location of their agony.

After he left she lay on the bed they had shared for a long while, crying softly to herself. Having seen him again and lost him so quickly had opened all the old wounds that had started to heal in Iron Horse. As quickly as she'd gone numb, emotions rushed out of her core again. Yearning, fear, anger, it was all raw and fresh. Her turbulent emotions made her want to act out and hurt someone. But who could she hurt?

Her mind soon settled on the only target that could possibly be blamed for her predicament. Tex. He knew damn well how much it meant to her to have Savage around and he had sent him away almost immediately. Well, if he wanted to hurt her, he'd soon learn that he'd made an enemy.

Determined to give him notice of his new-found status as arch-nemesis, she stormed through to the reception desk where the pretty receptionist was ensconced as usual. Zora had a theory that she was actually a robot who sank into a trapdoor in the floor every night and was pushed up again every morning. There was something cold and almost mechanical about her demeanor that wasn't quite human.

“Where's Tex?” Zora inquired.

“He's in his office, he's not to be dist... hey you can't...”

Zora barged past the receptionist towards the door marked 'offices'. Tex's office was the last one at the far end of the hall. She discovered that by barging into every other office along the way, disturbing the occupants without anything resembling an apology. Having located the right room, she pushed Tex's door open hard enough to make it slam against the wall. The glass in the wooden frame vibrated so hard she thought it might break, but disappointingly it held up.

“You need a door stop,” she said dourly.

Tex had jumped when she entered, but he quickly settled into composed irritation. “How can I help you, Ms Matthews?”

“You,” she said, pointing a finger at him just in case he couldn't work out who the 'you' in question was. “You sent him away. Why would you do that?”

He gave her a dour look. “It's called work, Ms Matthews. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the concept.”

“Perhaps I should familiarize my foot with your ass.”

He made an irritated, hissing sound through his teeth. “You're being rude. I don't have any time for rudeness.”

Zora glared at him. “I don't have any time for... you.” It was lamer than she'd intended it to be, but there was really little coherent to say.
