Nightshift 25: Hallway between the F & M blocks

It felt like no time at all before he reached the hallway. He was paying half an ear to the radio the whole time, and if he was weary of it before, he was just plain suspicious now. No one said the guy had to be a saint, but he played with them like pieces in some royally fucked up chess game.

Remember this, my caged songbirds, he

The map from Naminé would come in handy in figuring out where M91 was.

If there were no patient rooms on the second floor, then it would stand to reason that her destination lay somewhere in the area she was already in. Seeing as how she had only one unmarked area on her map as far as patient rooms were concerned, it was rather easy for Larxene to figure out where to go.

The first step was to get out of the female block and head left…

The winged doll was fortunate that the halls were large enough to let her move without any trouble. Gone were the rooms designed to keep the other humans. She was now faced with a choice. Would she go one way, or the other?

Suigintou had no map, no directions, and therefore, had no idea what to expect. She did, however, know that going down the hall would lead her to the cafeteria.

With that minimal, but valuable piece of information, she opted for the other direction, wherever it might take her.

MOMO kept up a brisk walk until she reached the hallway. Only there did she pause and allow herself to take a brief rest. Considering there weren't many people there, it also seemed like a decent place as any to figure out what her next move would be.

There was no need for her to return to the female block. And the male block... There was only one reason she would go there, but she hadn't heard from or seen him for a couple days...

The realian shook her head. She couldn't let herself think about that now. He was fine. He just had to be! Right now, she had to continue moving forward.

So, taking a deep breath, MOMO picked her direction and started walking once more.

Relena didn't pay much attention when her radio clicked on, more intent on watching out for any dangers.

This was where Wesker said to meet him, but, in looking around, she saw no sign of the older man. Maybe she could ask around the few people milling around to see if Claire had beat him here too.

Relena had made it to the meeting spot before Wesker, but it looked like Claire had yet to make an appearance. He approached her from the darkness, still wearing his sunglasses and holding both knives.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting very long."

Startled a bit, Relena turned to face Wesker and was a bit wary when she noticed he carried two, very sharp-looking knives. She hadn't expected this, but there wasn't much she could do now.

"No, not at all." She kept her greeting polite and, hopefully, free of any negative emotions. "Does your friend know I'll join you two tonight?"

"I am not entirely sure, but I do know that she won't mind the extra company. She is quite friendly," Perhaps a bit too much, but he could deal with that if it became a problem. A little paranoia would help things along if she began to over-socialize.

Wesker examined the knives carefully to make sure there were no problems with the blades.

...He was really starting to believe he was going in circles. If he had not followed that wall to the left for so long Naoya would have been sure of it. So... the hallways all looked the same?

For some reason that thought worried Naoya less than going around in circles. It was still aggravating though, where was he now? Stopping in the middle of the hall, Naoya pulled out the map once more and frowned thoughtfully as he studied it, tracing his finger along what may have been the possible path he had taken. Where was he going to go now?

Hokuto was perfectly confident that she could find her way to the Sun Room... until they got to the main hallway and she realized she didn't know if she should go left or right. Looking around, she spotted a boy who seemed to be in the same boat, judging from the map he was puzzling over. "Hi," she greeted. "Are you new here too?" She was sure she'd learn her way around eventually, but in the black of night it was hard to figure out much. She wondered how well she would be navigating the walls in a week, in a month... in a year, if she lasted that long. Will I age here? Do I get that eighteenth birthday after all?

For the moment, she settled on peeking over his shoulder to see if she could figure out where they were and which way she and Usagi should go. On the other hand, three wasn't too bad a group; if he had a destination in mind, maybe they could help. A martial artist and a Sailor Senshi made for some pretty kickass bodyguards, after all... she tried not to giggle.

Usagi was so concerned with being ambushed by a monster in their travels that she nearly bumped into Hokuto who had stopped and addressed someone up ahead. Looking around the taller girl she spotted the person, a young man around Mamoru's age.

"Hey look! Is that a map?" she blurted out, stepping out from behind Hokuto to get a closer look at what the man was holding.

Waiting took a lot longer than he would have liked and standing around in a dark hallway was, well, boring as hell. It was no use worrying about Nel. She was a big girl, and she'd show up in her own time.

There were a few people hanging around the hallway now, none of which he recognized. The girl at least was new, judging from what she asked. Cliff moved away from the wall and approached the three teens.

"Hey, you guys lost?"
