Nightshift 33: M21-M30 Hallway

[from dinner post]

... the doctor sounded tired. Shawn wasn't sure if he preferred that voice or the more youthful one in the second announcement but either way, he figured, this guy's still fucking nuts.

Talk about Sci-Fi gone wrong. Gus would've loved this, even if Shawn knew the other wouldn't have been able to stop shaking in his slippers long enough to go into full dweeb mode. Shawn committed both announcements to memory-- just because authenticity sounded verified, it didn't mean he could trust anything that was being said especially when it involved so-called advanced technology, a "shield", and some kind of super hacker. Hackers, honestly. If the act didn't involve Angelina Jolie in any way Shawn just wasn't interested.

He held pushed at the prematurely opened door, looking out into the dark hallway warily. Pulling back in, he cast an almost-cautious grin at Peter. "After you...?"

Like he was going to go out there first. Yeah. Right.

It didn't take Valyn long to come to the same conclusion. He knew all about taking people at night, and what was done to them. And he knew where they were taken, as he'd done escort missions those nights.

And now they'd taken Shadow.

His face hardening and steeling into a blank mask, Valyn shoved himself off the bed and grabbed his dagger.

"The second floor," he said, voice cold. "There's a spare knife in my closet, one of you take it."

He didn't even bother putting on a shirt as he headed for the door.

"Keman, you take it," Shana added, mind quickly guessing what had happened. Had it really been over an hour? Fire and Rain, she should have been paying attention! Shadow could be in trouble and where had they been?

She grabbed her jagged-ended pole from the floor beside the bed, scrambling to her feet and straightening her clothes as she hurried after Valyn. Her quartz was in her robe pocket still and she had several days' worth of magic stored up in it, as well as tonight's still. If Shadow was harmed, someone would pay.

It took a little rooting around in the closet to find the knife, but eventually Keman located it under a pile of yellow-faced shirts. It was the same broad, lethal-looking knife that Valyn had said he was going to return...apparently he hadn't, but the rightful owner's loss was their gain at the moment. He felt a little awkward handling it, but he did have some experience with weapons. It wouldn't be too hard.

Once he was ready, he turned to the others.

"Shall we?"

Valyn just nodded tightly and headed out into the hall, determined to get to his cousin as quickly as possible.
