[Coming from

Daemon glided out into the wider corridor and paused for a moment, letting Renji join him, taking a moment to probe the shadows with his senses, looking for anything out of the norm. There was a tingle down his spine, the sensation of being watched, though he couldn't find its exact location, just the knowledge that it was

Snow quickened his pace as he moved through the door and hurried down the hallway. He didn't like this. Not at all. Normally, the monsters here weren't all that active. So what the hell was going on? Was this actually what Code Red was supposed to be? Flood a bunch of monsters into the building to kill everyone? That was the plan? What the hell were they thinking ( ... )

The wet spot on the back of his shirt was making the fabric stick to his skin unpleasantly now; he touched a hand to it and then checked his fingers when the light from someone's flashlight fell across him. As he'd expected, the puddle had been blood.
When another familiar-sounding voice called out, Izaya looked up-and straight at the light. He winced, and then lifted a hand to block it out as he tried to make out the person beyond it. He could make out a form more than a face, and that form was large. ( ... )
