Edward hadn't been as attentive on Night Watch as he usually was. He and Jasper had agreed to patrol the opposite ends of the Science Division building, neither of them wanting to actually venture inside. There were some smells and memories that were not so easily forgotten. It irritated him that they had to be here at all, but the AMC was not known for its sympathy and, in the end, orders were orders.

As it had turned out, Night Watch was as uneventful and pointless as the constant following of low-level drug addicts that he had been assigned to do for the past few months. A few days in to their week-long assignment, the buildings they were guarding had yet to be breached by so much as a stray cat. This being the case, Edward had barely been paying attention tonight.

He had contracted a headache from lack of sleep, as always happened nearing the week-long point, not that that ever helped him actually fall asleep, and had been leaning against a wall, eyes closed for just a few minutes in an attempt to soothe it away.

When the blackout occurred, it wasn't the absence of lights that Edward missed, eyes being closed as they were; it was the absence of the constant sounds that accompanied electrical workings. All of the whirring, constant buzzing white noises that were ever present in the background suddenly died and that, more than anything, put Edward's hair on end.

His eyes snapped open immediately and, frowning, he scanned the area to see what the source of this sudden power outage was.

When nothing came on nearly ten minutes later, Edward pushed himself off from his position in the wall. Walking quietly through the shadows, he slipped inside the building, looking for the other guards on watch.
