Dinner was quiet, but as soon as the nurse took their trays away Armand hurried to inspect his night clothes. Undamaged. Not even bloodstained. He ran his fingers over the coat, which should be ripped across the left shoulder. Strange. Then he dressed in them as best he could. The bandages remained, but he'd forgo the sling for now. It wasn't necessary just for torn muscles so long as he was careful how he moved his arm. The sling would only make it nearly impossible to use his left arm.
He examined his map while there was still light. As best as he could tell, he found that M100 was in the next block over. It would be shorter to risk a short walk outside to find it. Then he pocketed what he had and waited. It would be riskier in an unfamiliar place without light, but perhaps there would be some moon or starlight to use.
Then he sat on his bed and waited until the lights went out. He paid no attention to Dr. Landel's ranting--to him it was only so much noise--and stepped out into the hall. He broke into a jog as he headed for the main corridor.
