Day 30: West Rooftop
The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, though all aspects of the good weather didn't fit the Head Doctor's current mood. His arms were crossed and his face was creased into a scowl; his eyes were sharp and although he wore his usual brown suit and tie, both were wrinkled as if he'd slept in them. His hair, usually combed and slicked back, was mussed up from neglect and stress.
On the whole, he didn't look too happy.
He glanced at his gold watch again, muttering out a curse and turning his gaze to the sky. The recent glitches in the security system's mainframe hadn't been enough to allow the patients free reign of the place, but it had been enough to dampen all of the powers within the Institute's Walls rather than just those of the prisoners.
It meant that he and Doyle would be on equal ground.
Dr. Landel usually wasn't the kind to take reckless risks, but he was far too angry to think rationally at the moment. His old partner was the one responsible for all of this - his old partner who had betrayed their cause and now sought to sabotage it, who didn't understand the true importance of this work...
The Head Doctor looked at his watch again. He should have expected this from someone who had already proved himself to be both a traitor and a coward.
