There's Frank's car!

"Are you also going to run to the hospital?"

"Why does anyone think this is a good idea?"

Permalink

"Lack of any better ideas. You say that's where everyone else went?"

Permalink

"Honestly because -- yeah, that, if we're at the hospital at least we have any idea what's going on."

Permalink

"Anita ran in there about an hour ago to try to rescue the kids, then Oswald joined her."

"If you all die I'm going to tell the new team to make better choices."

Permalink

"If that happens you will be so right to tell them that."

Permalink

"If we all die that will be so incredibly fair of you and I will not blame you in the slightest," Mordred agrees, "and not even just because I'd be too dead to blame anyone for anything."

Permalink

"Okay, do we want to go in the front, or try to... be sneaky somehow?"

Permalink

"You should go in the front, because you have a job working as a guard and therefore have a reason to be there, and I should stay here, because everyone else who has a job working as a guard is potentially someone who has seen my face and knows I'm supposed to be dead."

Permalink

"I don't exactly have a job as a guard here but fair enough."

"I will tell them... they didn't need me at the party anymore... and I was sent here where I could be more useful."

Permalink

"I'd keep it low on details and just say you got suddenly reassigned, the more detail you give the more there is that someone might call you on?"

Permalink

"...yeah, that makes sense."

Permalink

"And -- you know, the normal stuff, be polite, act like this is normal and you're supposed to be here."

Permalink

Zoe nods. "Yeah, I can do that part."

Then she heads in the front door and tells anyone who asks that she was suddenly reassigned to guard duty here and looks for Lela Donovan's room or any sign of Anita or Oswald.

Permalink

"Oh, good," a nurse says, "they need you upstairs, someone tried to kill Lela Donovan."

Permalink

Meanwhile--

When Oswald hears the scream he stands up abruptly and heads for the way upstairs. Is anyone else moving, surely everybody else heard that--

Permalink

Several people are running and shouting medical jargon at each other!

In the chaos, no one keeps track of one more person.

"Aren't you one of the guards?" one of the guards says. "At the warehouse?"

Permalink

"--I am. Looks like your position's seeing a lot more action, I heard a scream and ran up--"

Permalink

"This woman came in to kidnap Lela and then something happened," the guard said, "she collapsed. I think the woman did something."

Permalink

Solazzio looks incredibly stressed.

Permalink

"Lela collapsed? Was that the scream?" Is Lela here? Is Tereza here, for that matter?

Permalink

"Yes."

Lela's in the room, surrounded by stressed-looking nurses and doctors. Tereza is back in her room, alone.

Permalink

"Is there anything I can do to help." The whole place is still in an uproar, it feels like a safe assumption. Also maybe he can signal Tereza with his eyes or something.

Permalink

"Keep an eye out for other sorcerers doing weird magic, I guess?

Do you think this is Walker or Savitree?"

Permalink

"I'm not really sure what Walker would gain from this but I don't exactly know enough about Savitree to speculate about her."

Is Tereza awake. If so he can maybe station himself by her door in such a way that she can see him. Does he have a plan? God, he really doesn't have a plan. He just feels like he has to do something, and is kind of constrained on what that something can be

Permalink

Tereza is awake and crying.
