Light flashed throughout the reddened hallways as officers patrolled the corridors. Areas becoming further restricted with armed guards on high alert with everyone except required personnel segregated to their living quarters during the power outage.
Outside the quiet corridors, the storm raged, and thunder rumbled throughout the base, as officers quietly patrolled, giving status updates via their radios.
Their feet pattering against the gun grey floors, Theodore and Lila followed Commander Ryan towards the command centre where Lieutenant Commander Hoyts paced around the oval table, he stopped once he sees the three walking through the doorway.
"Have you secured the Plague Doctor?" Lieutenant Commander Hoyts sharply asked Commander Ryan as they exchanged looks while the light from the portable lights cast them in a pale hue.
Commander Ryan stated it was the first thing he did the moment the power went out. The Plague Doctor remains comatose and he posted four guards to guard the room and the Plague Doctor.
No one in and out unless he gives command.
If there's so much as a twitch coming from the Plague Doctor, the commander gave them permission to fire on sight.
Expend however much ammunition needed.
"How about Isaac, have we found him yet?" Commander Ryan asked if the lieutenant commander found anything, but he shook his head instead.
No one can find Isaac and they're sure if he left the base, they would've known about it, and Theodore asked where was Isaac last seen before he inexplicably disappeared.
Commander Ryan replied the last they heard of his whereabouts, he was coming back to the lab with the Plague Doctor, but they checked, he wasn't inside.
They double checked everywhere, it's as though he upped and disappeared.
Lieutenant Commander Hoyts spat, "Nobody can just disappear from the base. We've got sensors, cameras, armed guards, officers, nobody can just disappear!"
He argued that Isaac's still in the base somewhere, for whatever reason he's gone radio silent, and that nobody saw him leave or saw him signing out of the base.
The two argued until Theodore stepped in, pulling them apart, he calmed the two as he stated that he and Lila would look for Isaac.
"You two, do what needs doing," Theodore pointed at the commander and lieutenant commander before he and Lila head onward, searching for Isaac.
"Lieu seems certain Isaac didn't leave, but why hadn't nobody found him?" Lila wondered as she followed Theodore through the red lit hallway, looking for Isaac, passing by weary guards and officers, trying to get a handle on their situation.
Rain slammed into the base as the winds picked up, Theodore said if they're wrong and Isaac's outside, there's a slim chance he could've survived the harrowing storm.
"I know one thing for certain," Lila noted their situation as she's walking with Theodore. Turning his head, Theodore asked, "What's that?"
Lila replied as she went with him around a corner, checking every available doorway they're able, "My dad woulda cold cocked him. Never put yourself in the position of danger without reason."
Theodore inquired what he thinks of her adventures and Lila snorted as she said, "I have a reason for being in the position of danger: you."
Since the day they met, they've been adventuring and dealing with dangerous beings and situations that Lila's fortunate that she hadn't gotten critically injured, yet.
