Nightshift 30: Main Hallway 1-Center

[ Coming from here.]Luckily, they were at the far end of the hall and could back away from the fight now taking place in the hallway outside the patient blocks. Tyler kept casting backwards glances over his shoulder as he and Reid fled. As they dashed to a safe distance down into the main stretch of hall, he finally had to slow and stop, feeling

She had arrived first.

Beatrix chuckled to herself, finding it amusing that even after she'd spent more time than she should with Mion that she still arrived at the meeting place before SubZero and HK-47 had. There was another in the hall, but the Bride did not recognize him.

Nor did she feel like acknowledging him.

Taking up a place against the wall on the other side of the doors to the Sun Room, Beatrix had a good view of both directions of the hall, the entry way and that man that was waiting. She wondered what had been keeping the other assassins. They had asked her to join them and she doubted SubZero would have let HK talk him into leaving her behind even if she had taken a little more time than intended with her future apprentice.

So, she'd wait. It's not like she knew where Martin Landel was supposed to be.

"Greeting: Hello, meatbag," HK's cheerful voice rang out from the darkness approached the third member of their bizarre little group, relying on his night vision capabilities to find the female without the aid of any light. He didn't actually feel as cheerful as he sounded, even though irritating SubZero was usually enough to make him happy. He just wanted to get going and not give the meatbags a chance to start threatening to kiss.

SubZero followed along behind HK, wondering if he was actually getting sick. He had never been sick enough to have an actual fever like this, sure there had been times where he had felt less cold, but this was an entirely new experience for him.

"Arlene," Was all the greeting that the female assassin got from him. He was tired, and just wanted to get on with what they needed to do.

It was a little disconcerting to hear the cheerfulness of the robot killer's greeting, but Beatrix supposed that with the death of Martin Landel looming in the near future her would be cheerful. Well, as cheerful as he could get. She looked over and soon found both men when they were close enough for her to see.

She didn't say anything, but her eyes narrowed a bit as she looked the two over; SubZero looked like shit. Joy. He better not hinder them any or she'd be more than inclined to leave him behind. Hopefully, HK knew where their target was as well.

"Let's go," she said, her voice cold and professional. "Brief me of our target's location and potential capabilities along the way."

HK suddenly liked Arlene more than he previously had. She sounded so much like his Master for a moment that it was hard not to form a more positive impression of the meatbag. "Statement: The only known entrance to the basement where Landel is supposed to reside is in the cold storage room found in the kitchen. The entrance is hidden under a discolored floor tile." Because SubZero probably wouldn't even begin to remember all the important details of this. Sometimes he really did feel like a protocol droid...

"I don't know his exact location, only that he's in the basement, and HK's right about the entrance. He'll go first, though, since he can see better in the dark," SubZero would take the back, just because he didn't want to deal with Arlene complain about having to do that job.

He didn't like the way Arlene had looked at him just now, though, was it that obvious that he wasn't at his best?

Noting the location of the basement entrance, Beatrix nodded. So they'd have to track their target down in the basement. She had few qualms about what order they moved in as she rarely worked with others, but it made sense that HK go first if he had superb night vision. SubZero being behind her didn't bother her at all; with the way he looked, she had no doubt she'd be able to handle him should he decide to do something fatal like betray her.

Regardless, they had a mission to accomplish and a man to kill. Other thoughts can be dealt with later.

"Good," she replied, twirling the blood and gore encrusted wicked shard of glass she'd fashioned into a knife, before settling it back to run along her forearm. "Point is yours then," she said to HK, then addressed both. "Let's stop wasting time."
