A Little Mouse

Chapter 58

With Dabi following her, Rin made her way down into a small laboratory area of the villa. Walking into the lab though as the pair exited the elevator they stood among a bright room, an empty chair at a computer along one wall and a clear metal examination table sat among the other side of the room. But it was empty, no Doctor in sight. How annoying, he had not left in days, if not weeks, and now that they needed him he was gone. If he was not at the Villa then he must have been at Jaku hospital. She should not have been surprised to see that he was not at the Villa. Since Shigaraki had gone off for his power up or whatever they had wanted to call it when he informed the league he would be gone for a while, it meant there was no need for the Doctor to stick around. If he was not there then they needed to head to the hospital. So annoying.

"Seems the Doc ain't here," came from beside her and she struggled hard not to roll her eyes at Dabi and tell him no duh she could see that herself. Instead he asked a question to her, "What shall we do then?"

"Let's split up. I will go look for the Doctor. You go and tell Skeptic what we learned," She said simply as she looked over at Dabi who was frowning at her. He clearly did not like her plan.

"Nah I ain't dealing with that asshole alone," Dabi said clearly, having no desire to part ways and make her job easier. She sighed softly, it was no use in arguing with him over it.

"Fine, let's grab another car and head to Jaku Hospital. Skeptic can still wait," She said as she turned to head back into the elevator as they headed back to the main ground floor where they had just come from. Leading the way the pair back tracked and made their way out of the villa. Once again a dark black car with some unnamed driver was waiting after Dabi had sent a quick text during their elevator ride back to the ground floor.

The drive to Jaku hospital was long and boring. Rin ended up falling asleep with her head on Dabi's shoulder. It was not till the car stopped and she was being rather roughly shaken awake That she blinked her eyes open. She let out a groan as she sat up. Her neck felt stiff from sleeping in such an odd position. She was gonna harass the doctor for a way to contact him after this. She hated that she did not always know where he was going to be.

With Dabi slipping out of the car she slowly followed him out. She couldn't help but stretch out her stiff feeling body. Leading the way she walked towards the hospital, she easily walked like someone who belonged. Then again hospitals were not a foreign place to her, or they had not been after her few months working in Hosu's primary hospital. She led the way through the front of the hospital. The nurses at the desk were too busy with their own jobs to pay two people who did not look lost any attention.

Dabi was a bit amazed it was so easy. No one paid them any attention. And even though he was completely lost it seemed the woman he let lead the way was confident in where she was heading. Dabi almost asked if she had ever been there before. But he had a feeling that the answer would be no.

She may have looked like she knew where she was going but honestly she did not have a clue. She had never been to Jaku Hospital. But Rin knew that if someone just stood around and looked lost people would notice. If you walked like you knew where you were going and like you belonged then no one would notice a stranger walking among the crowd. Once the halls grew less congested with people Rin paused and glanced around.

"Ugh I hate large hospitals. Now what was it again the Doctor had told us about his secret lab," Rin was talking to herself as Dabi looked down at her as she glanced around.

"You mean to tell me you do not even know where we are in the hospital?" He asked with a growl down at her. She just waved him off.

"Not all hospitals are built the same, so no. But I do know how to maneuver around. I just need to remember what the Doc told me about finding his secret hidden area," she said as she started walking again, this time looking at the walls. She walked till she could find what she was looking for.
