No. No! You KNOW who's in there!

[not_tomorrow]

[Up in the North Wing, there's a pounding on one of the doors. Someone or something wants out. But what's worse is the crying. The sounds of a woman, frightened to the point of tears, pounding on the door, hoping someone will let her out.]

P-please... [She sobs.] Please, Harry, open the door.

[The sobs continue for a while longer, alongside the desperate pounding on the door.]




Please don't leave me alone. Please!




Somebody?



[The weeping begins again.]

Yes, please. [She looks around the abandoned hallway before following after Roy. After a few seconds of walking down the dark halls, the nurse takes his arm.]

This place is really quiet. It's creepy.

[Roy glances at her a moment when she takes his arm but doesn't say anything.

His posture straightens a little.]

It ain't so bad once you get used to it. You're usually pretty safe around here. ["Usually", but not always.] I know it don't change the fact that you were kidnapped 'n all but...

[Small comfort?]

[not_tomorrow]

Usually? Kidnapped?! [She stares up at him in horror.]

[thatcatfrom101]

[Guess not...

He tries to laugh it off, as if that'll make her feel better.]

I mean, that's the word for it. But at least they don't have us chained up or nothin', right?

[Maybe if he ignores the fact that he said "usually" she'll forget all about it, because oops.]

[not_tomorrow]

That's, um, not really a comfort. Why did they take us? Do they want a ransom? I'm just a nurse. It's not like I'm worth anything.

[Roy has failed spectacularly in comforting Lisa. The nurse looks even more nervous.

[thatcatfrom101]

[Shit. He really doesn't know what to say.]

I wish I had an answer for you, doll. No one knows. But lemme tell you, it really ain't as bad as it sounds. [He shrugs.] Sure, this ain't exactly where you wanna be right now, but considerin' how normal kidnappings go, we're pretty lucky.

[He's...really trying, okay.]
