>>5711326You’re just about to contemplate that ‘<span class="mu-i">favor</span>’ again when Pepper departs down the hallway on a mission! Scampering after her, you gently grab her shoulder to get her attention-wait a sec, you stammer, where does she think she’s going?
“If we keep going past the <span class="mu-s">ELEVATOR</span> we’ll get to the <span class="mu-s">GUEST ROOMS,</span> chief,” She answers as she points to the ornate wooden double-doors and the <span class="mu-s">SECURITY CAMERA</span> pointed at them up ahead. “I popped a window open in one of ‘em in case we need a bug-out point.”
Bug-out point, you mutter under your breath, is she serious right now? And what are <span class="mu-i">those</span>, then, you continue as you point at the door on the right side of the end of the hallway.
“<span class="mu-s">BATHROOM.</span>” She answers flatly with a raised eyebrow. “Gotta go?”
No, you reply with a slightly-embarrassed scoff, but shouldn’t we hit the big stuff first in case more people come?
The girl shrugs. “There’s gonna be people in here no matter what, chief, and you never know where you might find something useful!”
Before you can discuss things further, you hear a crash of metal pans down the hall behind you! Turning around, you notice another pair of double doors at the end of the hall… must be a <span class="mu-s">KITCHEN</span>...
“<span class="mu-s">LOBBY’S</span> that way.” Pepper adds as she points to one of the halls parallel to the <span class="mu-s">ELEVATOR,</span> “And the <span class="mu-s">LIVING ROOM’S</span> down the hall past the <span class="mu-s">GUEST ROOMS</span>.”
Good to know, you frown, but what about the <span class="mu-s">SECOND FLOOR?</span>
“Didn’t head up there yet.” Replies Pepper with a twinkle in her eye! “But that can be changed, slick!”
Where to first, then?
