When Zee had come to him in the middle of the night, Alcide hadn't even questioned it. If he'd had his wolf senses he would have been able to feel and smell things that he couldn't without them. It was clear that something was upsetting her though. So he just lifted the sheets and reached out to her to invite her to lay with him tonight, and any night she needs it, truthfully. Alcide didn't ask her questions because if and when Zee is ready to talk about it, she'll let him know. He doesn't push or pry. He just holds her because she needs it for whatever reason, and maybe he sometimes needs to hold onto someone too.
By morning she was gone and Alcide had had some really fucked up dreams of his own. Zee was the star. So was Prim, the girl who Zee had been sent on a mission with. Why the hell would he dream about her? Projecting all the worry he'd felt for Zee's being alone with someone he doesn't know onto her? How does he know her face? He's never met Prim. It's obvious this is something else. It's already pissing him off by the time he heads into work, the fact that someone, or something, got inside his head where they shouldn't be.
He stews on it all day long. And all day long, he's itching to find Zee and talk to her about it, see if the Computer got into her head in some way too. Oh what he wouldn't give to destroy a Computer - not just any Computer, but the Computer.
While he'd been looking for Zee so that they could talk, he'd run into Prim. He's glad they had a chance to come face to face, to talk about what they'd both seen and felt in their dreams. Now he's ready to get back to looking for his best friend. She's more than that, really, she's family. She's quite possibly the best friend he's ever had. When she hisses at him, he grins and goes over to her in the darkened corner. First, he wraps her in a big bear hug, holding on as he kisses the top of her head. Then he pulls back and looks her over.
"Over here hidin' in the corner, huh? No wonder I couldn't find you." Normally, he could have tracked her down through scent alone. Not right now though. Someday.
