Nightshift 27: M1-M40 block hallway

[From here]

Recluse turned the corner into the cell block hallway, still internally ranting about Landel. He was used to being the one in control of people like that infuriating doctor. There was a whole recruitment program for 'Mad Scientists' in Arachnos.

The vast majority of them ended up being killed by their on projects. Often in quite amusing, bloody, agonizing ways. That one little thought made everything seem just a little bit better.

Javert nodded. "They can. I would know." He didn't bother elaborating; he'd already done so enough times today.

"I'm sure they had their own reasons for not bringing him back; all I know is that he was gone one day and there was someone else in my room the next. I haven't seen him recently, either." A brief smirk. "I suppose I'm just bad luck to be around.

"At any rate, these halls are dangerous at night - that much is undeniable." Javert looked questioningly at Harry. "Have you found a weapon yet?"

Harry shook his head, his thoughts once again resting on his missing wand. "No, I just arrived this morning. Most of the stuff I've found out I found on on the public notice board. Hawkeye mentioned that the flashlights are pretty sturdy if it comes to that."

Honestly, Harry didn't think a flashlight would be much use against a dementor or some of the other monsters that he had been told about that day.

Javert frowned slightly, recalling the encounter he'd had in the Sun Room two nights ago. "Flashlights aren't much use against ghosts that can lacerate victims with a mere touch," he said darkly, glancing down at the scars that still crisscrossed his arms.

Leaning down, he rummaged through his pillowcase and came up with the box-cutter he'd obtained last night, offering it to Harry. "Neither is this, but I daresay it would work better than breaking your flashlight. Assuming, of course, that the creature you encounter can be hurt. Some of the ones I've read about have weak spots penetrable only by something sharp."

The beam of a flashlight came looming out of the Stygian gloom, a disgruntled 'Englishman' at its source. Yes, there he was. Javert was talking to some teenager, and...giving his box-cutter to him?! Was the Inspector insane? Wait. Stupid question.

"Good evening, Inspector," Trevelyan said, and nodded to the teenager. He hadn't met the boy before, but then again, he hadn't met a large portion of the population here.

His own flashlight was beginning to die - this was what, his fourth night here? The batteries were in the improvised sack slung over his shoulder, as were the rest of the essentials: burn cream and morphine tablets. The steak knife, his only real weapon, was clutched in the same hand as his flashlight.

Harry took the box-cutter with thanks, and was about to ask if Javert was sure he could part with the weapon when the new face appeared. He must have been who the man was waiting for, especially since he greeted Javert in such a way. He nodded back at the man and looked around, spotting a woman that vaguely resembled the description that Hawkeye had given him and Fai on the bulletin board.

"I think we've both found the people we were supposed to meet up with," Harry told Javert. "Thank you again for the box cutter. Good luck tonight." Then with a polite nod of the head he walked over to the woman.

[skipping down a few threads to meet Hawkeye]

Javert nodded briefly as Harry left, then turned to Trevelyan, one eyebrow raised.

"You're late," was all he said as he retrieved his pillowcase and bat from the floor.

"Fashionably late," Trevelyan corrected. "So I suppose we go and retrieve our third member, the young lady, from here? Lead the way."

Javert nodded. It appeared Harry had found his own group nearby; there was nothing else to be accomplished here.
