Nightshift 23 -- Hallway Outside Sun Room/Entry Room

[from here]

Zabuza left the M-Block and continued down the wide open hallway towards the other end of the hospital. This was the path they took every morning to get to breakfast so it was familiar enough for him to do in the dark. It was whatever lie further down that was a mystery. Zabuza couldn't help but like it that way.

He was leading Haku into the unknown.

She continued to listen for anything beyond the two separate rhythms of their footsteps, muffled in slippers but still audible in the echoing halls.

To their left was the sun room, where she had been given the guns she needed now only to use them on fellow patients, future friends. She'd had nearly an arsenal that night, though she'd kept to the rifle. It was a very good thing no one had come to the second floor where she'd been. Point-blank range would have left them with far less chance of surviving.

But now was not the time to be distracted by that. To their right, just up ahead, was the room they were headed for. She expected this to be the most guarded, though it seemed as though no one knew what to expect from room to room. And as the door was locked, perhaps this was not as popular a location as it would otherwise be.

She was calmer to be with him than she would have been alone. It helped to put her faith in him. It helped to worry about him rather than herself.

The fact that it was so quiet was unnerving. While the alchemist understood the reasoning behind it (he didn't want to think about the mayhem that would be caused by everyone rushing to the second floor, but it wasn't his problem), the emptiness was still strange.

It was so quiet, however, that if something did come after them, they should be able to anticipate it. Or so Roy hoped. They were both sharp, alert soldiers with years of training under their belts. It shouldn't be a problem, and yet if that was the case, why did he keep having to reassure himself?

If only Havoc had been added to their party. With three of them, he probably wouldn't have been worried at all. Exhaling quietly, he stepped toward the door and opened it, just as he had two nights before. He didn't hesitate to enter. If something was in there and waiting for them, he'd be ready.
