Waiting with Lila, Theodore hears the noises behind the door, shuffling, tapping noises in the distance, and the sound of pattering feet with clacking claws following the tapping noises.
For a few moments, there's nothing, but then, as Theodore listened, he heard a tapping noise at the door once more, in morse, he heard that it's safe for him and Lila.
Grasping the handle with Lila behind him, Theodore braced himself as he slowly opened the door, seeing nothing but the darkness ahead, he didn't feel the threat of the shadowy dogs.
Slowly, with Lila clutching his back, Theodore walked out of the lit room into the darkness once more, this time without the threat.
Glancing around, Theodore didn't see the shadowy child, he attempted to call out to them, but he heard no form of response, and with his torch, he didn't see the child anywhere as he moved it while looking around the empty hallway.
Leaving them in their predicament, it gave Theodore time to ponder, while leading Lila through the empty hallways, no one there, but them.
The shadowy child claimed they didn't know where Johnathan Bradley went or how they even arrived.
Nothing in the research labs, but Theodore suspected there's another part of the building they haven't checked yet, somewhere that has their answers, and going through the darkness with the aid of his torch, he scoured for any rooms they haven't checked yet, something that pointed to where they're meant to go, while on his mind, what happened with his telepathy.
Could've it been the shadow that Lila saw?
They haven't seen other shadows since they began their adventure, but Theodore doubted that this adventure only dealt with a pair of shadowy dogs and two humanoid shaped shadows.
Perhaps the best course for them's turning on the lights in the entire building, if they find the breaker room, maybe they can work their magic, and enshroud themselves in the light, it'll give them a better idea of where everything's located.
Going along the hallway they haven't took, Theodore and Lila searched for anything that came first, a breaker room, Johnathan Bradley, or somewhere there's an explanation on how Johnathan Bradley invoked the shadows.
If they ever find an answer, it still wouldn't satiate the question on Theodore's mind.
Who did he speak with?
On edge, he turned his head numerous times during their search, expecting something slinking around the darkness, anything that looked like a threat, but nothing ever shown itself, and eventually, they came across the breaker room.
It's a mess inside, everything strewn around, the breaker boxes opened, some wiring ripped out, others remained intact, while there's a low hum coming from the live wires.
Carefully, the two went around the room, seeing the debris on the ground, looked like a frenzy broke out, destroying boxes worth of replacement parts for the breakers.
Theodore cautioned Lila as he saw piles of broken bulbs, crunched under several footprints, but there's no sign of blood.
Her chestnut eyes on the exposed breaker boxes, Lila sees how they're ripped open, the hinges on some broken, others completely off, hands torn the innards asunder, in a bid to enshroud the building in darkness.
With how it looked, it'd appear the shadows weren't affected by electricity, either, as the way the breaker boxes looked, whoever done it would've received more than enough electricity to change their outlook on life within moments of their hands touching the exposed wiring.
