ELENA
I cast one last glance at Halo as I slip the ball cap that I had found in the hospital lost and found, over my head, tucking the head into a ponytail and looping it through the hole.
“I'll be back my love,” I place a quick kiss on the side of his face and make my way through the quiet corridors toward the east side service entrance.
The third floor is deserted just like I expected. Something about an electrical wiring that could burn the entire floor at some point, they had fixed it but the hospital never bothered to occupy the floor anymore. I cast a look behind, checking for eyes or figures looming the hall, satisfied when I see none, I push through the heavy door that leads to the service stairwell and find Chen already waiting.
"Elena," he says quietly, "You look like hell."
