The walls are always white
and the floors are always bright,
And everything, and everything is spotless shining clean;
Don't fret, and never fight
and be quiet-- mind the light,
You brought this on yourselves, you did, you friends of Mister Green.

Roy and Chainsaw manage to follow the cranes for about three minutes in silence before Roy holds up a hand and stops.

"Somebody comin'," he murmurs, cocking his head as though listening to something.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 15:52:08 UTC

He snorts, but doesn't make the obvious crack.

Any of the obvious cracks.

"Just one guy?"

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nneverwas September 10 2008, 15:53:31 UTC

Mutely, Roy points to a door down the hall.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 15:53:49 UTC

It swings open, disgorging a woman in a lab coat.

Her eyebrows rise sharply, and she opens her mouth to speak.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 15:55:07 UTC

Then she closes it again, and walks slowly and calmly towards Chainsaw and Roy.

Well, calmly except for the expression of rapidly increasing terror on her face.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nneverwas September 10 2008, 16:01:10 UTC

He raises his eyebrows and glances at Chainsaw, mildly impressed.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 16:01:51 UTC

Snort.

Bluntly: "Where's Adiva?"

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 16:15:23 UTC

"Who the hell are you?" she demands, slightly shrill.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 16:18:26 UTC

"I'm asking the questions here, bitch. Tell me where she is or I'll break your fucking arm."

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 16:20:35 UTC

"I don't know who you're talking about."

(She's lying.)

She recovers enough composure to draw herself up a little straighter. "How did you get in here?"

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nneverwas September 10 2008, 16:25:55 UTC

"Through the door, how else?"

Roy smirks.

"Now, I think we asked you a question. Why don't you try not lying, for a change."

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 16:28:26 UTC

"I am not lying -- there's nobody here by that name, now get out of here before I call for help--"

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 16:31:44 UTC

"You can't call for help," Chainsaw interrupts. "And if you don't know her by that name, I'll just bet you know her by another. Now I've been told to play nice, so I'll give you a third chance."

He grabs her wrist and squeezes hard.

"Tell me where she is," he growls.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 16:38:18 UTC

She gasps, and grabs futilely at his arm.

"I don't -- I d--"

It's no use. She was trained to deal with uncooperative test subjects, not outright coercion.

"Lab," she whimpers. "For another rad dose -- down the hall on your left -- please don't hurt me!"

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! nowait_letme September 10 2008, 16:44:39 UTC

"Pathetic," he snorts. "Thanks for all the help. Next time, try not working for kidnappers. Now lead us to the lab and don't say a word on the way."

Control marches her along the crane trail, because Chainsaw has his suspicions about that thing.

Re: Team Norton to the rescue! withoutincident September 10 2008, 16:56:03 UTC

Cradling her wrist and looking sullen, she obeys. She doesn't have a choice.

They round the first corner in silence. When they turn the second--
