She is worried about her burden, always is when she is away from him. But they have to find out what is going on here.
"This way?"

He scented the air, an unpleasant task in this environment, but found the outcome inconclusive.
"No reason why not," he agreed. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The lower level was full of closed rooms. It stank of horrid chemical smells that burned their sensitive noses. Though they met no burdens nor other spirits in thus corridor.
Upstairs Jayden saw more people being brought in. The majority were older as near as he could tell. A nurse walked past him and asked "you look lost. Can I help you?" | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
"Well, I don't know," he replied to the nurse.
"I came in... I followed the ambulance which carried in three old people. I had intended... to help."
He shrugged and smiled apologetically.
"But I'm afraid I might just get in the way. Can you tell me what has been happening?" | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The nurse nodded in sympathy. "There seems to be some kind of a gas leak as near as we can tell. Several people have collapsed on the west side of town. They are being brought here and we are doing what we can for them. Do you have a loved one that has been affected?" | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
He frowned at the mention of gas leak as he certainly had not smelled anything like that, but didn't want to argue with the nurse.
"No... not a loved one. A couple of neighbors, though." | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The nurse nodded sympathetically. "Have a seat and we can see what we can find out for you. What were their names?" She grabbed a pen and made as if she would jot the names down on the pad she had pulled from her pocket as well. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
He sat down where the nurse indicated as an embarrassed look came across his face.
"I honestly don't know their names." Jayden grimaced and shrugged.
"I guess I'm not a very good neighbor. I think one of the old ladies' names was Johnson, but I'm not really sure." | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The nurse said "this has caught us all by surprise. No need to worry. What street are you on?" | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
He told her his address and that the 'Johnson' lady had lived diagonally across the street from him. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | "I will look into it and see what I can learn. We have a coffee pot over there, help yourself." | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
"Thanks," he said and got up from the chair, glanced at the coffee pot and decided, instead, to head back to his car for a brief check on his feline companions.
They weren't there. Jayden stood, hands on hips, frowning as he looked around the parking lot. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | No sign of them as near as Jayden could tell.
Inside the pair had reached the end of the dark area. Several doors were still closed to their paws. There was several more floors in this edifice. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 46,267 | Jayden
He didn't think they would've just left, although he wasn't quite sure why he was so sure.
Jayden turned and looked back toward the hospital entrance. He was pretty sure they were inside there somewhere.
Shaking his head, he rolled his eyes, went back inside and started looking for the two felines.
"Stupid, damned cats," he muttered. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | TIGER-LILY/DIZZY
She looks around as they seem to have reached a dead end.
"I think we should try up these steps?" | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 | Shadow
The cat with no solidity nodded its shadowy head in assent to the mew of the cat with no visibility, then proceeded to flow up in sinuous, eyewatering ascent. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The stairs were quiet even amidst the chaos they had seen earlier. Each floor had a closed heavy door with a window in it. The travel four floors before they see a burden opening one.

Almost by instinct she heads for the open door.
"This way.."
She is not sure what they are looking for, just thinks that they will recognise it when they see it.

Doors are no barrier to him, but splitting up is a shoddy idea. He trails along the wall after the voice of his compatriot. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The floor was so similar to the others, that it was difficult for the felines to see it as a different one. But their noses told them it was indeed different. The harsh chemicals were not as omnipresent as they had been downstairs. However there was some other smell, sickly sweet. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | Tiger-Lily/Dizzy
She wrinkles her nose, unsure as to whether this smell is preferable to the harsher smell downstairs. Although it smells better, she likes it less for some reason.
Moving in through the open door, she looks around. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,064 Likes: 10 | The area revealed is much like the others they had visited in this structure. Though the smaller rooms had doors that stood open. Inside were multiple beds with burdens lying in them. The burdens were unconscious like Shadow's had been when they took her away. They seemed to be sleeping. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 | Shadow
As tempting as it was to walk upon the sleepers and paw at their faces for attention, that would detract from what they came here to do. The Shadow listened for its invisible counterpart. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | Tiger-Lily/Dizzy
"Let's take a look around, see if there is anything untoward here."
She moves further into the room, using her ears, eyes and nose to see if she can detect anything. She will be glad to get out of here though as the smells and the feel of the place makes her uncomfortable. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,613 | Shadow
Two-dimensional ears twitched and triangulated, keeping track of the invisible one even as he surveyed this probably-never-His territory. | | |
