Made It

"Um...." Tao droned on for a really long time.

"Tao," Suho called impatiently.

"Hold on!" Tao complained. "I'm trying to figure this out."

"Just move the arrow around." Suho instructed. "I'm in the lobby."

"So where do you want to go?"

Suho wanted to roll his eyes and scream in irritation. "Just anywhere! Make sure there are no shooters in the way."

"I'll be able to see them?" Tao asked surprised.

"No, you won't, so choose wisely."

"Wh...are you crazy?! Why are you making me do this?!" Tao complained loudly.

Suho swore he could feel his eardrums in pain.

"Hurry Tao, we don't have a lot of time," Suho indicated calmly, but with authority. "I don't know the floor plan of this building, so I need you to guide me toward the most efficient routes; no dead ends. Losing time right now is dangerous."

He heard a long sigh from Tao, "There are three hallways on the right. Two on the left and another one far up ahead. The first on the left seems to be an end, maybe it leads to the storage room."

"Got it, what about the second one?" Suho asked.

"Um...it intersects into another hallway along the way," Tao explained.

"Good," Suho commented, "don't hang up."

Pulling out a handy dagger from inside his jacket he turned to his partner. Chorong's eyes widened when she spotted it.

Smugly smirking in reply Suho whispered, "My secret weapon. I have extra ammo, so don't hold back if you have to shoot. Stay close. We shouldn't split up in here. Although it seems like a small place, but there are probably a lot of dead ends so it could get pretty dirty in here."

Chorong nodded.

"Is the coast clear?"

"Clear," Chorong nodded after peeking around.

Even though it was daylight outside, windows were only built alongside the exterior of the building. Light was limited. Along the hallways they would be drenched into utter complete darkness; a total blackout, which meant lots of danger. Suho wouldn't know how many men were waiting to attack if there were any at all, but he wouldn't doubt it. If Victoria was here, there would surely be many awaiting them.

"Lets go." Suho sprang up into position, hurrying toward the second hallway.

An anxiousness swallowed him up when they passed the darkening first hall. A fear that something would jump out at them increased within him, so training his eyes on it as they passed confirmed nothing. At least his was lucky this time around.

They easily passed on before he found himself staring into the darkness of the second hallway. This would serve as a good haunted house; the kind of thing Suho wasn't good with. Easily paranoid he never watched any sort of horror movies now that he lived on his own.

Suho gulped and forced himself forward. His first step was cautious and hesitant. As the sole of his foot touched the ground he felt shivers spring up and down his spine. He hated this. Why was he and Chorong the first to reach this place? He hoped the others were doing well.

Framed pictures hung about the hallway. They had been meant to make the nursing home welcoming and lively, but they looked nothing of that sort right now. The persons in the pictures seemed to be staring at him as he moved by and it creeped him out hysterically. It was difficult to hide the scare, so he strengthened his grip on the dagger. Very shortly they reached the first room. As if it had been left that way on purpose, Suho paused in step unable to help himself from gulping loudly.
