At Eddie's insistence that there was nothing wrong (which was obviously a lie, but Peter wasn't going to push it), Peter headed up the stairs, taking the lead now. He was pretty sure the other man didn't have much of an idea where he was going, anyway, if their progress so far was any indication, so better that he, the uninjured one, stay in front.
There was no immediate danger when they got to the top - in fact, the only thing nearby was a group of four patients chatting. Maybe all the monsters had already been fought up here. It had been a while since night had started, so that wasn't such a ridiculous theory.
A long hallway was in front of them, with a smaller, narrower one to the right. He figured it would take less time to explore the shorter one, so he turned in that direction next.
And back down the hall that didn't look at all familiar to Brock. Parker wasn't moving that fast, but it still felt like he had to struggle to keep up. While he could get a general sense that the symbiote was putting in major overtime to keep them on their feet, the fact was that humans generally weren't meant for falls from any height, much less the shit he'd been through and that'd of course slowed him down a bit. The only thing keeping him from taking the rest he probably did need was this competitive edge to one-up Parker and show him that dammit, he wasn't going to pussy out just because of something like this.
Where to next? It would probably be best if they tried every door, since there was no way they could know where the pharmacy was going to be. Searching each and every room was going to prove tedious, but there was no other way to go about it if Eddie wasn't familiar with the second floor.
That just made Peter all the more pressed to commit where he had been to memory. He wasn't sure if he would be able to recall everything in perfect detail, but he had always been pretty good at memorization, if his grades were any indication.
As there was another door directly across from them, the logical thing would be to go there next.
