Night 66: Main Hallway, 1-West

[From here.]

That hadn't taken long. So much so that it looked like he was the first person to make it this far. Harvey took a moment to scan the hall with his flashlight, including near the stairs, but he didn't see (or hear) much of anything. It was the sort of thing that set him on edge.

Since he couldn't do much else, he leaned himself against the wall by the stairs and then grabbed for his gun, holding it near his side as he waited. Normally he didn't take the weapon out unless he planned to shoot it, but when there was a possibility that some transformed patient might come barreling down the halls in the next few seconds, he wanted to take precaution.

Hopefully Scott and Sangamon would haul ass over here before all hell started to break loose. If things got too hairy, Harvey was ready to make a run for it on his own. That was the logical thing to do.

[Waiting for S.T.]

"It could probably already be hurt, too," she whispered, on the heels of Tsubaki's observation. "That's good for us, right?" The tightness in her chest loosened just a little at the thought, though she still didn't dare to move more than was absolutely necessary. Whatever had been done to it, it could very help them make their escape. But it wouldn't do to get too confident either, not after what had happened the night before.

"If... If we're careful, I think we can get past it now. It might not even be able to follow us for long if it sees us." They were getting closer and closer to the creature by then, closer to where they could finally move past it. "We can do this..."

"Yeah." Nightshift was a time to slip into an assassin mode, and that meant treating others' injuries as potential advantages. If the figure was dangerous and was slowly recovering from someone else's assault, that worked in their favor.

She turned and nodded, encouraging the other girl along. With luck, they wouldn't have to find out just how far an Institute monster could follow someone.
