A lifeless body lay on the ground, surrounded by silence.
"..."
Eli broke the silence as he commented, "Five more minutes, and he will be fine" His pondering expression didn't match the situation.
Hearing that, Arlyne and her group snapped out of their stupor and looked at Eli, who wore an innocent smile.
Veins popped on their foreheads.
What happened was simple:
Eli put the antidote into Oliver's mouth and forc--ahem, well, helped him drink it, resulting in something that no one had expected.
Oliver had screamed in pain as if he were being burned from the inside, and then he had wriggled and rolled on the ground. In his distress, he tried to vomit but to no avail. Instead, a disgusting smell emanated from his body, causing everyone to cover their noses. Unable to tolerate the smell....Oliver lost consciousness.
"Fine?" Arlyne snapped, grabbing Eli's collar once again.
