The rest of Sylar's day was more-or-less uneventful. He tried to avoid anyone who might recognize him (he wanted the jump on them once he had the equipment to make the best of it) and though that gave him time to really think about his plans for tonight, it didn't help him much. It was becoming painfully clear that he didn't have much to offer Eddie in the way of help, and he found that the more he circled his own thoughts and their dead-ends, the more frustrated he became. He found himself remembering the stranger's words from this morning, his saying that Sylar was completely useless here. In a way, those words were true and Sylar would be stupid to deny it, but on the other hand, his current handicap wasn't his fault and he therefore shouldn't have had to deal with it in the first place. Everyone else here with abilities could use theirs, even in the smallest amount, so why should he, the most important, the best adapted, be left at such a disadvantage by those Company bastards?
It made him angry enough that he had to jump through self-made hoops to get to where he wanted to be, and now... he had to figure something out before Eddie found him.
The strange intercom announcement came on, rife with the Head Doctor's fumbling. Sylar smiled slightly, thinking about how he'd make the Head Doctor his final target once he'd gained all the powers he could possibly take. As the announcement degenerated into strangely old recordings, Sylar glanced at the man on the opposite bed; he was still sleeping even now. Sylar considered killing him to appease his potential "ally," but... he had a feeling Eddie wouldn't be impressed by an obviously easy kill. He'd have to head out into the hallway and find someone different, so maybe...
Sylar's eyes wandered towards the flashlight under his pillow. He pulled it out and tested it--it had a good amount of heft, and he'd used things as mundane as paper weights before. If he got one clear shot when no one was around, he could probably take someone down just like he had with Brian Davis, though if he did manage that... the only point of having Eddie around would be for protection from the monsters before he regained his abilities. Maybe he wouldn't need him after that, which would be... gratifying, to say the least. Eddie was pretty difficult to deal with, but Sylar knew he could use him with enough work.
With a new idea in mind, Sylar grabbed his flashlight, a couple of pens, and headed out into the hallway. Luckily, his stalling had paid off; it looked like most people had left the patient block already. They were probably getting themselves distracted by the implications of the hacked announcement, which was fine by Sylar so long as they didn't get themselves killed before he had the chance to do the deed himself. If he could just find one person...
