Nightshift 60: F11-F20 Hallway

[Inside F16]

Now that Ilia had left, there was plenty of room to pace, and Lana took it. It would help keep her muscles loose, too. Ilia had been a help, but the most important point was getting the basics to Ema -- including the part about running away being the best thing to do if she couldn't help. She would hold onto that guilt; Lana knew her sister, and she could admit she would (and had) done the same herself.

But neither of them could let it freeze them up in the future. They had to try, that was the key to the whole thing. Two men were dead; one mourned, one not, and so were many others. This place ground through people, and Lana didn't intend to let their names be the next up.

So this was how the Head Doctor truly was. She shouldn't have been surprised. Her treatment by older men in power in the past had been pretty illuminating. They relished that sense of omnipotence that they felt they had. Toying with the lives of innocents was just as mundane as throwing away a used tissue paper. Shiina burned with indignation.

Well, no matter. She had other things to worry about tonight than the taunting words of an old man who had his just desserts coming. She needed to be there for Shou.

Grabbing her bat from the closet, she wished Tear a better night and ran out into the darkness of the next hallway.
