"That's not happening." Schuldig began moving down the hall - at a slight angle; Artemis looked ready to bolt already, and if he did run, Schuldig would prefer them to dart around him and back in the direction of their room, rather than any closer to the door of the nurses' station. (Besides, it also helped disguise the fact that he was obviously holding an arm behind his back to hide the hatchet.) Though their being so cooperative as to actually go back to their room was giving them far too much credit. That would actually be Artemis making his life simpler. "I'll tell them, if you like, but you just came from your room unescorted, didn't you? You can walk back by yourselves and lock yourselves in however you like until morning - I won't even follow you, if you don't want me to - but you're not touching that door." Grinning, he added, "Besides, shouldn't good patients be staying in their rooms, lock or no lock? Hurry back, before you get in trouble."
