Night 49: Main Hallway, 1-Center.

[thatdamnedninja]

[From here]As far as Yuffie could remember, the journey was a straight shot over to the central section of the main hallway; that'd put 'em directly across from the sun room, and then it'd be a quick right turn into the only door. Easy peasy. With her shuriken and the two SOLDIER dudes-Cloud totally still counted, only not-in tow, the little ninja

Carter was already composing his goodbye note by the time he approached the Sun Room's door. A special note to ZEX regarding the book and a more blatant one about how he'd successfully broken out of Stalag Landel. It would really take too long to list everyone, so he'd have to make the goodbye very general. The people who knew him would get it.

It said a lot about Carter that he spent more time thinking up his note than he did planning his escape. Wasn't that the easy part?

[Waiting for Kairi]

When Kairi entered this hallway, she stopped and looked around, trying to see if she could find anyone alone. Perhaps she could be of assistance to them? She hated to see other patients wandering around alone, especially because of the horrors that stalked the hallways once the shadows began to fall. At least she had a sword!

It was at that point that the redhead spotted a man who appeared to be alone, standing close to the Sun Room door.

... Hm, she could help him! Hopefully just because she was young wouldn't make him choose to decline her help.

"Excuse me," she began, moving towards the man with a curious look on her face. "Are you alone?"

"Oh!" said Carter, one hand already on the Sun Room door. What was she doing here? It was a lousy kind of prison camp that put little girls in it, they weren't old enough to do anything wrong. "Hi there! Yeah, I'm alone, but you can come with me if you like." He grinned mischievously. "I'm going over the wall and getting out of here. Could use someone to talk to, walking alone in the woods is always a little dull."

Well. For given values of dull, walking in the German woods was either an exercise in gleeful excitement (post explosion) or quivering fear (pre explosion). But Carter had traversed enemy territory before, in American uniform and in a foreign country, and this would surely be much easier.

Kairi smiled. Aha! "I'd love to." And the outer wall ... she had never been over the wall before, so that was an exciting thought. However ... "But ... have you ever been through the Sun Room at night before?" she asked, frowning. She could only imagine what was lurking in the darkness.

Looking the man up and down, her grasp on her sword tightened. No weapon ... maybe she could help him in that way. "I'm Kairi, by the way."

It was at that point she flashed the man a bright smile, hoping he believed that she could at least try and protect him. "I'll help you out the best that I can!"

And hey, if she got outside the walls ... well, she could tell Sora and Riku about what lay outside. Surely they couldn't be too upset with her for going off and helping someone. Wasn't that what they did all the time?

Carter laughed and beckoned to the girl to follow him. Kai-ree, what a funny name, maybe she was from space. "Sergeant Andrew Carter. But just Andrew's all right. Don't worry, I'm an expert at escaping from prison camps, you just follow me and it'll all be okay." The only thing in the Sun Room before had been a weird little kid and a cat, and the cat was obviously not a threat to anyone. But it was understandable that a girl would be scared, escaping from prisons was a job left to men--except for Tiger and all the other underground girls, but they were different from little girls who picked up swords and tried to fight with them.

With nary a care in the world Carter shouldered his way through the Sun Room doors.
