Night 64: West Wing, South Hall 1-A

Still no one. Harvey imagined that before long these areas were going to be flooded with sick people who were going to follow that clue, so he was glad that he'd beaten them to the punch. It wasn't that he thought it was contagious anymore -- by this point, they would have known -- but he didn't need to be surrounded by a bunch of miserable, sniffling people, either.

Relieved that he'd dodged that bullet, at least so far, Harvey reached the end of the hall and took a right toward their regular meeting spot.

It looked like there were a decent number of people out this evening, as opposed to previous nights when he'd been greeted with virtually empty halls.

"Wonder if everyone's trying to get to the medical wing." It seemed like asking for a disaster akin to last nights, to him, but who was he to judge other people's decisions.

Hakkai followed Gren, trying to focus on what was around them rather than the thoughts in his own head. Easier that way. And Gren was right - it seemed like there were far more people out and about than usual. Though as to why... Hakkai raised one eyebrow slightly in confusion. "The Medical Wing?"

"One of our 'friends' hacked the intercom and sent a message. Something about a clue to curing the sick being left in the x-ray room," he replied. "I'm not sure I really buy it."

It might just be him letting his paranoia get the better of him, but he couldn't find it in himself to trust their mysterious benefactors any more than he did the rest of the staff. Maybe if they'd ever done something to help, instead of offering obscure clues and confusion, but so far, they didn't have his support.

"Ah," Hakkai replied, trying not to let the way his heart jumped at that revelation. The lightheadedness and the rash had gotten worse, not better, and he was getting increasingly worried that he was going to be one of the ones to turn. To lose himself to the worst part of him.

But Gren was probably right. The way things were around here, it was hard to trust anyone. Which was probably why he hadn't made any friends who weren't Gren.

They made it to the edge of the side hallway, and he turned the corner into the larger main hall.
