V; CBKW Meetings - Afremov
It had taken her a few days time to adjust to the situation at hand, leaving Iris shut in her room, only leaving to retrieve some food like the salads or chicken nuggets to nibble on. She racked her brain to remember what had happened just days before to result waking up in a bed far too small for her in a dark pizzeria. Nothing turned up, it was totally unexplained. Finally feeling a little more familiar with her surroundings, she felt comfortable, if that word was even appropriate, to exit her room to look for others trapped in the same predicament. She could have sworn she heard voices outside her door after all.
Iris’ footsteps were anything but quiet in the long empty hall that led from the exit of room 125. Her eyes were occasionally drawn to the crumpled papers tacked to the wall with faded, unsteady lines. Iris assumed they were the works of a child or children, seeing as the decoration of the building was rather childish.
There were soft footsteps, faint from a distance, but they echoed through the eerily silent hall. The lieutenant’s pace quickened, and if she had any element of stealth or surprise, it was compromised by heavy leather army boots booming on the tile.
Turning at a corner, Iris saw a man standing. It struck her the moment after who it was. Afremov, though there was something plainly different, that being the injury to his face. After a moment of staring a little too long, Iris found her voice.
“Afremov? You’re here?” Her eyes motioned to his wound, “What the hell happened?”
