The moment they were both inside, however, their radios blared to life again, although with less grating force than before. Kirk carefully set his flashlight on Kisugi's desk before taking out his out to listen to the message.
Finally, some real information, without cryptic riddles framing it. Of course, 'the dense part of the forest

He swallowed more smoke and headed for her desk. He'd messed it up often enough. He should know mostly what was there, and how it was arranged exactly so. There wasn't much to remember. Her CD player was, of course, gone and as much as he might like the thought of beheading her with a CD, he wasn't...well, Mihai.

Artemis' doctor was just insane too, but he was pretty sure Makiko would want to be around for any traps she decided to spring so it was probably safe. "Office supplies.

The numerous books on the shelves provided blunt objects, but getting to them could put Badou in a precarious position. "Don't sit down when you come in, and don't put your back against a wall.
