Night 70: Patient Library
[From here.]
Castiel hadn't ever had a reason to go to the library at night, so this was his first time. As he pointed his flashlight forward, he saw the rows of shelves standing there, stalwart and solemn. If the library was quiet during the day, then it was deathly silent now. Castiel would have never imagined there was something dangerous waiting for them deeper inside, but that was likely the point.
He glanced over his shoulder at Kratos and then found himself speaking under his breath. Just in case. "I was told that the switch for the hidden passage is activated by pulling out the Oxford Book of English Verse. It should be somewhere in the center aisle." It was going to take them some time to find it when they had to search in complete darkness like this, but at least both of them had flashlights.
Without any further delay, he started down the middle aisle. "You check the right side, I'll check the left," he said as he started to scan the books with his light, reading over them as quickly as he could.
