Antubis frowned as he watched Bobby and Otto playing cards.
Honestly, how thick could those two be? Otto was being paid to make sure that this hospital was secure and here he hadn't even noticed that the basement cameras were out and had been out for hours now. And as for Bobby, shouldn't he have gone to check on his mother or something long before now and seen that Stegman had caught her?
'See what I have to put up with? And we have to walk home too so my paws are rubbed raw.' Blondi grumbled as he slipped around the two humans, reaching up and batting at the monitor screens, sending them flicking randomly from channel to channel. Maybe that would clue Otto in.
"Blondi, down boy!" Otto called when he saw what the dog was doing,
reaching out and pushing him firmly away from the monitors. "You know you're not supposed to mess with those!"
"Hey, wait a minute, what's that?" Bobby said with a sudden grin as he saw what was suddenly filling the screen, shapely Nurse Nancy from proctology undressing. "When did you get this camera?"
"A month ago and don't tell anyone!" Otto said in a firm tone. He reached out to change the channel but stopped when he saw Nurse Nancy removing her top. Okay, maybe they could watch for just a second.
'We're never going to get their attention now.' Blondi said with a shake of his head as he went over and joined his friend. 'Not while they have Nurse Nancy to occupy them.'
'I don't know why they find her so fascinating in the first place'
Antubis shook his head as he spoke, glaring at the pair by the monitor before motioning with his head for Blondi to follow him down the hall.
They had to find help soon for the trapped doctors if Lona was going to have any chance at all of surviving.
'I think it's her...' suddenly Blondi stopped speaking as they saw Carrie coming down the hallway. The two animals sat back on their haunches, surveying her thoughtfully.
"No, she faints at the drop of a hat.' Blondi said after a moment.
'So? We can wake her up after. We just need someone to see the damage and call for help. Go get her. She's marginally better than those two.' Carrie definitely wasn't who Antubis would have picked but at this point, he couldn't afford to be choosy. He knew that Mary was trying to get help from Mrs. Rickman but better for both of them to be working on getting assistance if possible. With Lona's condition, she could use all of the help that she could get.
"Blondi?" Carrie said, a bit of curiosity in her voice as the dog suddenly came down the hall towards her, barking urgently. "Blondi, be quiet!" Carrie hurried forward motioning for the dog to hush. If Stegman heard him barking like that he would probably use it as an excuse to call the pound and have Blondi lagged away. What in the world Dr. James had been thinking leaving him in charge for the night she would never know.
You would have thought he would have let Dr. Hook take care of things.
'This way!' Blondi barked urgently once more before heading for the stairwell door that Antubis had nudged open.
"Blondi?" Carried called as she stared at the door in puzzlement for a moment before heading after the dog. How had that opened? She could have sworn that the door had been closed a moment ago. She stepped through the door with a bit of hesitation. What was going on here? Blondi definitely wasn't acting right and....
Just then she heard the dog bark once more from somewhere below her on the steps. "Blondi?" She called again as she headed down. Her fear was building rapidly and screaming at her to turn back. This was how every stupid girl got killed in horror movies, after all. At the same time,
something was pushing her forward, though.
'That's it. Just a little bit more,' Antubis muttered as he nudged Carrie a bit more down the steps. Definitely not his first choice for help at all. Of course, his first choices for help were currently trapped in the basement so.... Why didn't this hospital get competent second choices?
"Blondi, what's going on?" Carrie couldn't see the dog as she reached the bottom of the steps and she almost turned around and fled.
This was definitely getting too weird and spooky for her. Where could Blondi have vanished too so quickly?
'Should have used the door,' Antubis thought to himself as she shook his furry head at his friend's mistake before nudging Carrie once more.
Carrie hesitated, definitely not wanting to be here at this point and at the same time having a feeling that she needed to keep going, that there was something that she needed to do. After another moment's hesitation, she reached out and cautiously turned the doorknob, jumping through quickly so if anything scary was waiting for her on the other side,
she might catch it off guard.
"BLONDI!!" Carrie screamed and grabbed at her chest as the dog barked. She slumped back against the wall, staring at him in shock. How could Blondi have possibly gotten through that door, especially without her seeing it moving?
After several minutes, she was calm enough to speak once more.
"Blondi, you scared about ten years off of me. Come on! We're going back upstairs!" she said in what she was a firm tone,
The dog rolled his eyes at Carrie trying to boss him around,
trotting down the hallway a bit more and barking at her.
"Blondi, get back here now!" Carrie called as she hurried after him, almost having to run to keep up as the dog started to move faster.
"Blondi!"
Suddenly something appeared in front of her, a giant mass of what looked like rock or.... "Oh, my...." Carrie reached out, tentively touching the debris blocking any further movement down the hallway. A dizzy feeling swept over her and she had to cling to the debris rather firmly to stay on her feet as she suddenly realized what had happened.
Everyone had felt the latest earthquake, of course, but it hadn't been extremely bad on the upper floors. Obviously, it was a different story down here, though. The quake must have brought part of the ceiling down and.
Carrie's eyes grew wide as she suddenly recalled something. Lona had been running tests on Elmer in the sleep lab, trying to find the cause of his seizures. Carrie had even teased her about it, threatening to tell Elmer how worried Lona was over him, knowing that it would encourage his pursuit of her. If they had been down there when the quake hit and she was afraid that they were.... "Lona?" She called hesitantly and then louder.
"Lona?!"
There was no reply but who knew how much of the ceiling had caved in? It was possible that if the collapse was serious enough that no one could hear her through the rubble. She called once more anyway though,
more for herself. If she was calling for her friends, then that gave her hope they hadn't been... No, don't think of that. She wouldn't let herself think of that. The sleep lab was further down the hall, away from the collapsed area. Lona and Elmer were probably just fine. "Hey, if anyone can here me, I'm going to get help, okay?"
"Come on, Blondi," Carrie called as she motioned for the dog to follow her as she headed back to the stairwell. She just hoped that she could get someone down there in time.
