Night 41: Recreational Field
[From here]Just as in the hallways inside the building, the field looked completely deserted. von Karma saw not a single person nor creature upon it. Far to the northwest was his destination: an old supply shed that contained items that he would find marginally useful to defend himself -- at least until he could acquire something better. As much

At this point, Sora wasn't too surprised to see that the field was completely empty. It hadn't looked like many patients had been coming this direction, though the fact that he was out here on his own was still pretty eerie.
He strained his ears, trying to detect the sound of any monsters that might be moving around beyond his field of vision, but there was nothing.
Allen also wasn't here yet, obviously. Sora really hoped that the boy would show up. Even if Allen was mad at him, Sora still wanted the chance to say he was sorry and try to explain himself.
Still, all he could do was wait, and so Sora leaned himself against the side of the building, taking as much strain off of his wounds as he could.

It was a straight shot from the hall outside, so he ran the rest of the way, pausing only when he got to the door. There was a lot of noise, but then, that was quickly becoming the usual. He opened the door and crept outside, looking up to see the giant robot on the field.
As he turned to see who else was already outside though, at least it looked like he hadn't missed Sora. Though Allen had no desire to mess with anything that looked like one of Komui's inventions. The last giant robot that man had created had been a disaster and he'd nearly been operated on!
"Sora!" he called out as he ran over. Hopefully they could make it over the wall while that thing was still talking with the other people. Then again... maybe it would be better to take a different route.

"You too?" he asked. "I was um... about to say the same thing actually." The bruises were kind of hard to see in the darkness, but they were there, much as he hated to admit it. His fight hadn't gone so well; he could only hope Sora's had gone a little better. "I didn't make it to the meeting spot last night either."
He did his best to look apologetic and still keep an eye on that giant robot. "So don't worry about it, okay? As long as... you're not upset with me either." Allen did a quick check on the distance between them, the robot, and the wall. Maybe they could make it in time.
"We should probably hurry. I don't think this guy's got much mind to wait for

Lockdown transformed back into his car mode and sped towards the young brown-haired human and his companion, who had recently entered the field while the bounty hunter had been taking care of the previous two inmates.
The muscle car flashed his red lights threateningly at the two of them, and revved his engine. Hopefully these two weren't as fast as the others he had dealt with, and he might just hit one of them.

"I... guess that works out, then?" It wasn't good that they'd both had rough nights, but at least this meant they hadn't ended up disappointing each other without meaning to. He thought it was strange that it had turned out that way - it almost seemed too neat - but he might as well not question it ( ... )

"U-uh..." Allen managed without squeaking as he took a step back toward the door, "maybe it would be better to find another way out."

After circling around the boys, the green and black muscle car drove himself into a position so that he was directly facing them, washing them in a bright, red glow from his headlights.
"I'll give you boys ten nanokliks to go right back to where you came from," Lockdown threatened, his voice dripping with menace. "Unless you want to end up as smears on my tires." The muscle car let out a sadistic chuckle to punctuate his threat.
