Chapter Text
Just when Mordecai thought things couldn’t get any worse, they did. He already had to go to Dr. Zed’s clinic due to him re-opening his stitches from falling off his watchtower. And now he’s banned from Moxxi’s? Mordecai made one last stop to Moxxi’s to try to convince her to give him some booze.
“Sorry sugar,” Moxxi taunted. “You’ve been takin’ all my drinks. I’m almost out.” Mordecai looked behind Moxxi to see a full keg of whiskey. “You’re such a bad liar Moxxi.” Her face turned red. “Get the hell out of here before I have you shot,” Moxxi threatened. “You lazy drunk.”
Modecai had asked almost everyone in Sanctuary. First, he tried Dr. Zed. “Sorry Mordecai,” Dr. Zed said. “I have a long surgery comin’ up and I can’t be an alcohol courier.” Marcus couldn’t let him any booze either, he sold the rest he had to Moxxi. Brick was clearing a bandit camp in Sawtooth Cauldron, but Lilith was back from The Dust. Mordecai noticed Maya wasn’t with her, he feared the worst.
“Hey, Lil,” Mordecai asked. “Where’s Maya? Is she okay?” Lilith scoffed in annoyance. “Calm down Mordy, she just went over to Tina’s to talk to Zer0.” Mordecai sighed in relief. He was glad Maya was alive, but that’s when he noticed something. Lilith was holding a small note, it seemed to have Maya’s handwriting.
“What’s that?” asked Mordecai reaching out to grab the note. Lilith smacked his hand back. “It’s nothing,” Lilith said. “It’s just a note from Maya saying that she’s going to Tina’s.” Mordecai chuckled. “Sure it is-” Before he could finish his sentence, Lilith activated her phasewalk. Smooth move, Mordecai, he thought to himself.

Two weeks later
Mordecai barley saw Lilith anymore. It always felt like she was out doing some sort of job, whether it was clearing out skags to doing Tannis’ laundry. Lilith always did the jobs with Maya, something was going on between them.
Mordecai knocked at Lilith’s door, but no one responded. He decided to look through the keyhole. Mordecai could see Lilith’s bed, nothing out of the ordinary so far. On her nightstand was a photo of Tina and Roland.
“You’re just paranoid Mordy,” he thought to himself. Modecai leaned against the door feeling foolish, nothing was going on, right? “I’m so stupid,” He said, talking to himself. “I can’t believe I-” Before Mordecai could finish his self-loathing, the door broke off the hinge. Axton came running.
As Axton got there, his eyes widened. “Dude,” He said. “You. Are. So. Fucked.” Mordecai was fucked indeed. Lilith would kill him for this. He took one last look at her room before booking it to Oasis. On the walls were several pictures of Maya. “Oh, shit,” Mordecai thought to himself. “I. Am. So. Fucked.”
