it is dark, and it is silent, and something isn’t right.
he has that feeling he gets when something in the plan isn’t lining up, when there’s an important detail he and the rest of his team haven’t discovered yet. its a cold, horrid feeling, because it goes hand-in-hand with ignorance. you don’t even know what’s wrong --- you just have a hunch. and right now, his hunch is ringing alarm bells in his ears, tightening his chest. his own footsteps break the silence of the old... exhibit, pizzeria, whatever the hell this place is supposed to be. he’s only here for a week, part-time job to make cash since he hadn’t been hired for his normal work in a while. his flashlight is flickering --- damn useless thing --- and he keeps hitting it against the wall as he patrols the halls. ten minutes ago was when he’d started hearing noises. every fiber of his being is on alert.
❝ hello? ❞ he finally bothers to ask after yet another strange, unidentifiable noise comes from the back room. he changes direction, immediately heads over there. fuck this. he’s getting the creeps in ways he hadn’t since being stuck in iraq, pinned down by terrorist soldiers, and it puts him off. ❝ just to remind you, breaking and entering is a crime. ❞
