Nightshift 27: M51-M60 hallway

[tsunagari]

Though the taunts of the man on the radio offered new places to be searching that night, Sai already had plans in mind. Unless Usopp was up for changing them on his own, the ninja wasn't going to do so himself

Now with the collection of odds and ends in his possession beginning to grow, Aidou had no choice but to freeze the door to M52 shut behind him, encasing the frame in thick, unyielding ice. It would hold, so long as no one came along and made it their life's ambition to enter that particular cell.

A bright new headache was what he received in return, and when he took a minute to examine his throbbing shoulder... Aidou should have expected the tattoo to return. Nothing had stayed the same between day and night so far, and a missing tattoo that reappeared on a whim seemed the least of it.

He tried (as much as that ever worked) to ignore everything and concentrate.

Today, he brought two extra items with him: the objects he had originally given to Bella Swan, but had taken back in temporary custody when he'd overestimated her human endurance. And to think she had asked him, of all people, to act as a gopher and run them back to her personally. Had he really fallen so far that he was being construed as just an average guy now? One you asked favours of, right after he'd saved your life?

And she hadn't even bothered to give her room number. Probably too busy mooning with her boyfriend.
