Nurses and orderlies and drugs. He really didn't like the way this was sounding, but he mentally brushed it aside. It would take a lot to knock someone like him out, so he didn't think he needed to be too concerned about a little needle, even if there did end up being too many orderlies to handle coming along with it. Still, he felt a little bad that someone like Roy could end up victim to them; he liked the guy's attitude.

As for nights... The only thing that he could describe as "fun" last night had been that taste of freedom in trying to escape, but he wondered if there was more to it. "Last night the door to my room was unlocked; can I assume that's typical?"

It would explain Howl and Keman (as well as all those other people) being out. But with this tight a watch during the day—another glance at the nurses confirmed that they were still watching—who in their right mind would let their prisoners have free reign once the sun went down?

And if that were the case... "If the nurses aren't keeping watch at night, at least you could get in a good fight then."
