Night 69: Patient's Library
[from here]
The library smelled more strongly of dust, old leather, and dry rot when it was pitch-dark. Or maybe that was just Taura's imagination kicking into overdrive. Katherine would be at home here; Taura found it quaint, and confining. She juggled the star into her clawed hand without a sound, and pulled out her flashlight, pressing the little button to turn it on.
She could see enough for most things, but a secret passage generally meant a hidden trick, and unless Rita asked her not to look, she wanted to know how it worked.
This was possibly their last safe ground, too. "The healing stone's in my bag, along with the stunner. You just point it and push the trigger. Just in case, you know?"
