It had all sounded so strange and unreal, though he didn't think the other man had any reason to lie to him. He couldn't help but to be a little skeptical,

Harvey didn't really know what to make of the conversation he'd just had with Grell. All he could really say was that it had been more interesting than most conversations that he'd had in this place, though it hadn't been anywhere approaching helpful. Granted, it wasn't like he needed much in the way of direction at this point. He already had his plans settled for the coming night or so.

"Oh, aren't you excited? I'm sure your friend or family member will be thrilled to see you."

Immediately he started trying to figure out who it could even be, but he was probably going to drive himself nuts just speculating. He realized that he could just refuse to go if he really didn't want to, but he was curious enough just to see that he already realized that wouldn't happen.

Either way, he was going to have to mentally prepare for it, and so Harvey made the only choice that had really been on the list in the first place: he headed for the library. It might actually be quiet here and he could always flip through a book to get his mind off of what was coming. This was the last thing he needed when he already had the basement's mysteries weighing on his mind.

Filled with nervous energy, Harvey started to pace down the aisles in the small library.
