Nightshift 43: M11-20 Hallway

[oftemptation.livejournal.com]

Endrance was quiet as he gathered his things - flashlight, pipe, long chef's knife from the night before - and slipped out into the hallway. It felt a bit strange to be leaving without saying much to his roommate, but...what was there to say, really? He wasn't sure, and so saying nothing at all had probably been the best course of action.

As he closed the door behind him, he blinked. Had - had the walls just blinked for a moment? It reminded him of what had happened two nights ago, when the false-Kite had changed the entry room into Hulle Granz, and it put him on guard. Was he out again tonight, then?

He managed to pull his stare away from the intercom so he could focus on getting ready for the night. 'Virtual intruder detected'? The first thing he thought of was the LSA, but it didn't take long to push that aside; if they were in Limbo, there was no way the LSA could know about their situation. He had helped them get into the DOD's system that time, anyway, though why Sal had continued to make a big deal out of it even after he'd skipped town, he didn't know; it would only have been a matter of time before the next grade-A chump had been hung out to dry.

Maybe he had been the only one.
