Could the Head Doctor go just one night without saying something creepy and cryptic on the intercom? Anise started to wonder what he meant about seeing visitors sooner than tomorrow, but she quickly decided it was best not to think too much about anything that old bastard said.
The girl began to gather her supplies for the night, retrieving her flashlight, her meat tenderizer, and a pillowcase that was rolled into a tiny ball and crammed into the sack on Tokunaga's back. Anise had to remove the maps inside to make space, but she figured that was okay. If they went outside tonight, those maps would just get ruined in the rain.
Come to think of it, she never managed to find Guy today to tell him what she and Luke planned. Maybe Luke caught him during the field trip? If not, then she could just surprise him!
With the weather like it was, though, she had to wonder if they'd have to change their plans. Climbing the wall and running across the grass was going to be a bit harder with everything all wet and slippery. Just to be on the safe side, though, Anise took the outdoor sneakers from her closet and tied those on her feet. They could probably still tough out the rain if they wanted to.
As soon as she was ready, Anise waved goodbye to her roommate and darted out the door and down the hall.
