L was confident that he'd gotten an early start, and there had been no indication via the toy radios that Lana had arrived even earlier and decided to move on without him. In any case, even if he understood the impulse, it wouldn't be safe; moving around alone might offer a scant advantage of stealth, but not enough to outweigh the risks.
As he waited, he rested his hand near the holster on his hip. Landel rarely seemed able to resist gloating, and he hadn't sounded like he had anything novel planned for his prisoners tonight. Even so, and even though L wasn't the kind to jump at shadows, he still didn't like waiting alone like this.
Not technically alone, however. There was one other person in the hallway--a very tall woman, someone he knew by sight as one of the other patients. He nodded in her direction, acknowledging her presence, then leaned back against the wall.
