Nightshift 40: F-A Block Hallway

Harley clicked on her flashlight and checked back and forth as she usually did. All clear. Alright-e-o! She moved as quickly as she could down the hallway. No monsters and no other people yet. She knew that changed pretty quickly around here so best to get a move on.

"Makes sense," Utena responded, crossing her arms and turning off her flashlight for the moment to save the batteries for when they started moving. "If he's not in his normal room anymore, you think someone who might know where he was moved to might still be around? And if there isn't, would we just have to start opening as many likely doors in the male patient block as we can?"

Ed pushed open the door to female block and looked around for the women he was supposed to be meeting. He spotted Celes fairly quickly, talking with a pink haired girl whom he didn't recognise. He walked over towards them, still looking just a touch grumpy.

Celes looked thoughtfully down the hallway, and realized that Ed was the teeniest, migety thing since Gau adjusted her gaze to look closer to the floor. "There are too many blocks, I say that we comb the first tonight, and if there is any time remaining, try the next. His room was originally in M6; let us hope that he wasn't moved much further from there." Celes stretched and rolled her shoulders. They'd not even gone anywhere and already she was tensing.

Turning to meet Ed, Celes lowered her head a fraction to see him in greeting. "Thank you for coming. Miss Tenjou, this is Edward Elric. Edward, this is Utena Tenjou, she'll be joining us tonight." The boy certainly had a look to him, didn't he?

Utena looked up when Celes turned, but didn't quite see who she was looking at in the darkness until she shifted her gaze down a few inches. The boy looked to be about her age, maybe a year or two older; he didn't seem to be in the best of moods. Regardless, Utena gave him a soft smile, hoping that a little friendliness would help that mood somewhat. "Good to meet you," she said, nodding her head in Elric's direction. She thought it was interesting that all three of them were dressed in their own clothes from home, considering the semi-constant trickle of people still mostly in grey that kept going by them through the hallway. She still wasn't sure what the rhyme or reason was behind who was granted a personal outfit and who wasn't, really.

"Hughes isn't there?" Ed asked, his eyes narrowing and a near savage expression appearing on his face. This was bad. Really really bad. He knew as well as anyone else what it meant when someone wasn't in their room. But no, he couldn't believe that Hughes was gone. Really he couldn't. He folded his arms over his chest and looked at the two women fiercely, expression only softening for a moment when the pink haired woman greeted him. He nodded back, but his attention quickly turned back to Celes.

"He didn't show up at all today, not even to write a missive," Celes replied coolly. "And there were quite a few reports of patients being moved around today. I'm not going to give up hope that he's gone, so let us hurry. We'll look at his room first; if his roommate hasn't gone out for the evening, we'll see what they know." Celes didn't allow that hateful feeling of unknowing that whirled around in her heart show on her face.

They had a job to do, and they would complete it. "We'll start with his block," she said quickly and turned heel to start down the hallway, one bright blue eye taking measure of Ed. "If that's agreeable. Afterwards, I suggest splitting up for maximum efficiency. Tomorrow, if we find nothing..." Celes trailed off. "We'll improvise."
