Night 48: Kitchen

[ninelivesonce]

[from here]The kitchen was pitch-dark save for their flashlights; no lingering light from the Sun Room's windows made it in here. Taura did a quick swing, and headed for the sink. The water turned on, clean and fresh, so she rinsed off her claws and went looking for a towel

Logan held the door so the kid could get in with his crutch, and took a quick survey of the room: a few people, nobody dangerous; hopefully knives somewhere. He didn't want to have to test the healing factor with anything blunter than that.

"So is that an every night thing?" he asked.

Scott had been thrown for a loop when the intercom came on and the Head Douchebag started going on about some of the secrets behind his plan. "Started" being the keyword. They barely got any kind of useful information before the voice crackled out again. Project Next-Wave? War? What the- Either Gideon's way older or more sci-fi than I thought, or . . . Scott shook his head. He wasn't going to give up on the Landel = Maybe Gideon theory just yet. That kind of infodump could be just something Gideon wanted to put out there to throw Scott off. Although, maybe, just maybe, he was a little more open now to the idea that Landel could just be some random dude. Disturbing as that idea was

On one hand it wasn't too surprising that a kitchen in a mental hospital would lock up the knives when they weren't in use, but on the other hand, Logan really wasn't keen on stabbing himself with a goddamn butter knife. He tossed one back in the drawer it had come from and looked up as Scott spoke.

Normally he would've been able to catch that - hearing was dead too - but he came up next to the kid and pointed his flashlight beam at the same door. Looked like a freezer, but there wouldn't really be a reason to wander around a meat locker at night, so maybe not. "What's in there?" he asked.

"A basement," Scott repeated, keeping his flashlight trained on the freezer door. "Or at least that's what I'm told. I was asking around about the entrance to the super-secret basement dungeon to this place, and someone said that there was a loose panel or something in the freezer that leads to it."

Confirming what Scott had been told, he watched as some of the others approached the freezer door and jiggered their way into it. "I'm betting that's where those guys are headed. You wanna check it out?" he asked, turning back to Logan. He wasn't sure if they ought to be going in with just the two of them (really one-and-a-half of them, considering Scott still had two limbs not in full working condition), but he was really, really curious.

Logan watched the other three go through the door and decided that, beyond a sharp knife and Kurt, a basement was exactly the kind of thing he was looking for. Especially if the only way to get to it was a secret door in the freezer; it practically screamed 'suspicious, investigate.'

Well, either that or it screamed 'trap,' but they were too close and Logan was too interested to worry about where that information had come from.

"Yeah, I do," he said, moving ahead of Scott.
