They test to see if he is in fact affected by the strength of the sunlight – while he was outside at dawn, it did in fact feel less strong, but he was partially buried in sand and the pain ramped up over the time he was out, so it wasn't a particularly good indicator. It turns out he is in fact affected differently by different strengths of sunlight; weaker sunlight is confirmed to feel less painful and he loses his senses less quickly this time than when he went outside earlier.

After a short while, they go back inside and he cools off – it's not yet sunset, it's just slightly dimmer, so the sun still has quite strong effects on him. They have food, or rather Matt and Sadde do, though Theo cooks it because he hasn't lost that ability despite becoming a vampire, and it gradually gets towards sunset.

And by the time they reach the hospital it is a bit darker!

"Can probably go now without much issue," comments Theo. "Be back in a mo?"

"Sure."

So he goes to check around the front of the hospital, see if reception is still manned.

He's guessing yes. He's not sure if there's any security around it, though.

The reception is in fact manned, with a single security officer, looking bored.

What type of door is it? Automatic, revolving, regular? Open or closed, if applicable?

Regular, open.

Does the security guard seem liable to glance away for a moment?

Probably.

Then Theo will check the corridors leading out of the reception area are not currently heavily populated and he will run through when the guard glances away, provided it takes less than three minutes.

Yep, it does.

Then he's into the corridors and he's running quickly past a junction and making sure nobody's visible around it and looking whereabouts the blood bank might possibly be.

Superspeed is fun.

It's in that one room, electronically locked.

Ugh, okay – if there's anything distinguishing around it such as signs for when it potentially gets restocked or information on where this might possibly occur, he'll take note, but presumably not?

Not.

Okay well. Is there an ICU in this hospital? Maybe an ER, actually, less so intensive-care-unit and probably more smallish triage center.

Yes ER, no ICU, it's a small hospital.

Anybody in there? It probably services quite a few nearby towns, such as his own, the current one…

Yeah, actually, a handful of people.

Any curtains that he can possibly sneak behind to people he can hear breathing quietly such that he can assess them to see if they're practically dying and feed them his blood?

… Unfortunately – or possibly fortunately – there are unlikely to be any major trauma victims here. So they might have to go elsewhere or try on someone less critical.
