Nightshift 62: Main Hallway, 1-West
[from here]
Taura took up station midway between the two halls leading back into the dormitories. Alone with her thoughts; the hall was quiet. Too quiet. Dead quiet, a little voice hissed in the back of her mind.
This was no time to be getting superstitious. It was unavoidable, really, in a profession with so much risk involved in daily operations, that those who survived found things to credit. Beyond their own skill, because they'd all seen better men/women/herms when their luck ran out, and skill only improved your odds.
Her luck was holding, tonight. Was Rita and Goku's?

HUZZAH
"H-hey, hey!" Niikura played as if he'd been caught in the act, stumbling back a step as Shiina mock-shoved him and waving his hands at her as if asking her to stop. "It wasn't like that! Geez, you're makin' me look bad here, Nagasawa." She did have him pegged, though, although, it was as if he liked making people nervous...okay, maybe a little.
And then, in the nick of time, Mike showed up. Niikura nearly sighed aloud in relief; he wasn't sure how much more he could've stood waiting. "Ya better be sorry," he told Mike with a grin and then punched him solidly in the arm. (Two...sheesh...he was still on that?) "We've been waitin' here for half the night already, y'know.
"Anyway, okay, quick introductions: Badd-san, Mike-san; Mike-san, Badd-san--he's volunteered to help us out tonight, by the way. Evens out the age disparity pretty nicely, huh? Thank me later." Yup, he was ready and pumped now. "Let's get goin'!"
