Nightshift 36: M81-M90 Hallway

Third time was the charm, as they said. Ken was not about let the old axiom fall by the wayside if he could help it. Alita may have sounded reasonable regarding his end of the bargain, but the child hated leaving things undone, especially after multiple tries and the addition of another request. Come Hell or high water, he had to retrieve his

M86 for now

[for_marian]

Leon gave his roommate a bit of an odd look at the slight trace of nervousness in his voice. Well, maybe there was a good reason for it, maybe he was thinking back on some bad experience or something. Certainly Leon's own chest seized up painfully for a moment every time he thought of that thing biting down on and through his hand, and the sick wet sound of his fingers hitting the floor. Whatever the cause, Leon chose to ignore Clark's uncertainty for now--his hope was still that it wouldn't come to a fight in the first place, anyway.

As soon as he was done with his meal--and the tasty dessert!--Leon started gathering his weapons and supplies out of hiding. He didn't think he had any need of the medical supplies--better to leave them here and come back if they ended up needing them--so he took only the makeshift spear and the knife Seiya had given him on their last outing. The latter he bound to his thigh with strips torn from the bedsheets, so that he wouldn't have to have both hands occupied unless it actually did come to a fight. "We might as well try the nearest bathroom first, unless it's been picked over already."

Clark looked surprised when Leon produced something that looked awfully like a spear and a knife out of nowhere. He hadn't even seen them around the room before.

"Where did you get those?" he couldn't help asking, trailing after his shorter roommate and glancing from the weapons to the other boy. He watched as Leon armed himself like he knew what he was doing, which Clark found a little alarming - it implied this wasn't new for Leon and he had experience with this sorta thing.

"Mostly upstairs. The good knife came from the staff kitchen, and the broom handle from one of the storage closets. The knife I used for the 'spear tip' came from a restaurant in town." Leon seriously doubted that it would last more than one good hit, since it was meant for nothing more than cutting steak, but even one would be a help, and the broom stick could be used as a staff after the knife-end broke off.

One more thing was needed, so Leon grabbed the pillowcase off his bed, to carry metal in. Tucking that into his waistband, he figured they were good to go, so with a brief gesture to Clark he headed on out.
