Nightshift 24: Hallway outside entry room
The giggling and the stinging scent of pepper faded as Gin and Jack changed their route to the second set of stairs near the doctors offices.

Stopping his intense perusal of their surroundings, he turned to look at Sephiroth just in time to watch the other silver haired man start walking away. He cocked his eyebrow in confusion and turned to Kadaj with a, “What’s gotten into him?” look on his face.
He gave Sephiroth’s retreating back one last glance before sighing and shrugging slightly. “What should we do now?” he asked Kadaj curiously, tilting his head.

He continued to look at Kadaj that way for a second longer before chuckling quietly and reaching out to muss up the other’s hair. “All right then. What do you say we check out the doctors’ offices?”
