Night 66: Greenhouse Yard

"Just my luck," Rita murmured upon stepping outside.

The greenhouse loomed over them in the center of the yard, rain rattling against its glass ceiling and streaming down the walls. Lightning flashed somewhere in the distant sky, and a heavy rumble of thunder followed. It figured that the one night Rita needed to go outside, it would be pouring rain. Fortunately, they didn't need to be out for long.

"Let's try not to waste any time out here," she suggested as she started towards the greenhouse doors. She'd only just gotten her real clothing back - the last thing she wanted was for it to get soaked through. Not to mention the few paper notes and talismans she'd stuffed in her pockets. While they wouldn't be too hard to replace, Rita just didn't want to have to go to the trouble.

Taura's nose wrinkled at the rain, and she agreed with Rita. The rain would cover their tracks, but she was less worried about monsters -- or people, or people who were temporarily monsters following them out there than what they'd find inside. Or had brought with them. Goku's little legs were still tiny under her hands, barely bigger around than the cross-pieces of Cissnei's throwing star, resting right next to his left leg.

She tightened her grip on him, and dashed across the grass. "Hang on, here we go," she said. She leaned over, hoping he'd realized what she was going to do, as she broke the door open with one swift kick.
