[from here]While Pierson worked on the second door, Indy went back to playing lookout and wondering why the hell Landel had left the first office so easy to get into. Even if they were confident that the patients wouldn't get anything useful out of that computer, the flimsy lock and the unguarded room still left it open to damage. It didn't look ( Read more... )

[from here]The office was as dark as the rest of the place, and Indy kept the pipe clenched in his right fist while he did a careful sweep with the light. He couldn't see anything moving here either, and there weren't a lot of places to hide. Probably safe ( Read more... )

It didn't take him long to find the door and it took a few hard kicks to the knob before it was finally weak enough to push open.  When he opened it, however, he almost walked back out to be sure it was the right one.  Everything was different from how he remembered it.  Last time it'd been decorated a little differently.  Maybe the ( Read more... )

It'd been almost a week since he'd been down this way, though it felt like much longer.  Allen was pretty sure he remembered the right office, especially after he'd watched Tyki and that other patient facing off over a package of cigarettes.

His ribs still hurt from last night's injuries, but at least some of the bruises had started to ( Read more... )

Allen hoped to finish the errand as quickly as possible so he could get on with the important things and mentally kicked himself for getting into this mess in the first place.  Of all the wagers he might've made, this was probably the easiest to fulfill, but it was still a pain.  And who knew if Sora would be waiting for him?  He ( Read more... )

[from here]No, really, where the fuck was everyone? Shit, someone needed to be out and about. The rescue-mission post had had a dozen or so eager-beaver volunteers, so where were they? He hoped they were around when he got back with the gear, because he wasn't planning to spend the night as a poor man's on-call EMT ( Read more... )

[from here]The main hallway was empty, too. The quiet was broken only by squeak of S.T's shoes on the tile floor and tiny creaks of metal as the toolbox swung as he walked ( Read more... )

Endrance sighed just slightly as he got his things together. Those injuries from the night before were still there, and he knew he would need to be careful if they should run into something unexpected that night. With any luck, any exploring they did wouldn't require fighting, but he knew now to be on his toes and prepared for anything that could ( Read more... )

Endrance turned his head to look at the intercom, giving it a look that would wither an entire rose garden in an instant. He would never get used to ending up in his room again from somewhere else in the Institute ( Read more... )

[from here]Itachi proceeded past the center of the main hallway, heading toward the east wing. He had not been over here much, except for that notable night when he had not been acting of his own will. The memory still smarted, a reminder of why he should take his mission here seriously, why he had to defeat Landel and leave this place. With ( Read more... )
