Although Tony had been told in advance what the nights held, he had not truly expected the doors to open. It just didn't make sense to allow captives to roam under cover of darkness. Pitch darkness, he realized irritably. He wouldn't even be able to see his hand if he held it before his face. The first order of business would be to find a light source, one that wouldn't expose him as a walking target with a lit-up bullseye for anyone with ill intentions. He recalled Logan mentioning a flashlight. It had to be somewhere in the room, easily accessible.
He was nearly ready to give up searching and head out in the dark by the time he finally found it, hidden, of all places, snugly beneath the pillow on his bed. "It's official," he muttered under his breath to the now-empty room. "The inmates are running the asylum."
He hadn't had much chance to search the room, and he did so now. There was nothing of immediate interest, though he earmarked the radio for later inspection. The second order of business would be to find tools. And, he decided, weaponry. He still didn't believe in monsters, but there was definitely something strange going on, and violent mental patients would be no more fun to deal with unarmed. With that vague plan of action in mind, he crept out of the room and headed toward the halls that would take him away from the rooming block.
