And here it was: the eastern end of the hall at last... The access to the medical wing was most likely the door up ahead on the left, but-
A person on the right side of the hall caught his attention long before he reached that door. While there were a few people in this end of the hall, it was the figure near the stairs who had caught Izaya's attention. Or, perhaps more accurately, the boy's clothes caught his attention when the light of Izaya's flashlight fell upon him; he'd seen that jacket's owner wear it often enough that he recognized it immediately.
Ryuugamine Mikado was peering into the stairwell.
Izaya's pace slowed to a stop as he watched Mikado, and in that time, the boy didn't move from his spot, either to go upstairs or turn around and go elsewhere. It seemed he needed a little assistance in a decision, and in that instant, Izaya changed his own plans for the night. He turned towards Mikado, coming up behind him. He laid his hand across the boy's back and gave him a firm push forward into the stairwell.
