Nightshift 60: Main Hallway, 1-West

[from here]Even the main hall was deserted. S.T. switched on his flashlight and took a look around. Yeah, it was empty. No roadkill, no other patients. If he ever made it home, he was never bitching at any of the girls who didn't want to do night ops alone again. It was different when you knew there were things out there in the darkness.

Daemon stepped out into the main hallway, pausing to make sure the area was clear and that there were no predators looming in the immediate vicinity. His senses weren't as good tonight as they should be - last night had spoiled him more than he'd realized - but he could sense nothing beyond himself and the man at his side.

"Looks like it's much quieter tonight," he observed idly as he turned in the direction of the stairs.

"Yeah, I'm no fucking expert at running away either. But least I can back it up." Renji smirked. "And you can, you know, almost back it up. What you lack in skill you make up for in prettiness."

He paused, listening for a moment, and nodded. "I got the impression that they kind of shit themselves and pulled out all the stops last night. Probably for the best we're not getting everything thrown at us right now. I'm all for stabbing eyeballs, but it'd take forever to get anywhere."

Daemon snorted, then broke into a quiet chuckle as amusement glinted in golden eyes. "I'm flattered to know you think my prettiness makes up for my otherwise useless skills," he shot back, shaking his head at the redhead, lips twitching as he suppressed a smile. "And here I'd worried you'd lost all confidence in me."

He motioned to the staircase, leading the way across the hall.
