You can't help but wonder if it's too lucky these mystic lights were right dead center in the Party Room tonight.
Though you suppose you're not too lucky. The Party Room is still the most exposed location in your Pizzeria.
You try to be as stealthy as you can, hoping the brutal storm masked the noise of you crawling into the hole that once housed a very small Kitchen window. A very shattered Kitchen window as of earlier today.
Frankly you're amazed you fit through it at all. Leaving the Kitchen, shovel in hand... The Vacuum is spewing acid again, further ensuring that massive hole in the floor. It stares glossy eyed dead ahead. Like it isn’t even aware it exists any more.
Great.
You hear nothing around you, but on the upside, are not jumped by anything right off the bat.
You notice various deep scratches in the floorboard in various criss-crosses... The Canine is restless, and unless it ran outside there is no way you aren't less than twenty feet from it...
The Shadow detaches from you, a feeling that seems to freeze the Souls of the entire Hive briefly. If only you could shiver... The Stardust is consumed, and the Shadow is gone like it were never there to begin with.
You aren't sure what happens if you fail to find the Stardust in time. You're pretty sure you do not want to find out.
Just before you can plan to move to the Office...
In the restroom, back turned from you, you see the Canine, just barely.
It appears to be scratching against the wall as you sneak a little closer.
The wall to your Office.
