Nightshift 38: Entry Room

[scarletspeedstr]

[from here]The Entry Room was a lot like he remembered it, or at least, a lot like what he remembered from when he'd run into Clark here on his first night. Admittedly most of what he remembered was dark, blurred from speed, and full of argument but this was a lot like that. Just without the blurring and the arguments

Or so she thought. Juri briefly noted two men in the room and the woman who'd appeared out of the gloom to try to ward them off. Go back to their rooms? Was there a curfew in place? There'd been a similar measure in place at Ohtori, except for the Student Council, of course. Was it dangerous here? Then the broader man broke down the entire door to one of the closet-like rooms and the other shouted to her to leave. Well, she assumed it was the other man. Her eyes wouldn't focus properly on him as he moved far too quickly toward the woman.

That more than anything drove Juri to her feet, her hands clenching into tense fists. What was going on here? She didn't waste her time trying to work it out though. If they were going to fight, she'd have to get out of here. In her mind, retreat was not an option, so she returned to the doors she assumed led outside or at least closer to it.

She looked down at the flimsy slippers on her feet and decided against trying to kick the lock. She didn't have the strength just to batter down a door like the huge man had, so she resorted to the only weapon she had, her flashlight. She reversed it and swung decisively at the door knob.

Juri had a strong upper body compared to most girls her age. She was a skilled fencer, which didn't take brute strength itself, but swinging an epeé and striking an opponent worked out arm, chest and back muscles that some people never even knew they had. So after three firm strikes, the knob fell to pieces and she was able to reach her fingers into the hole and unlock the door.

She pushed it open and was rewarded by a rush of fresh, night air. Juri took one last glance behind herself and then hurried out into freedom.
