They'd come prepared, it seemed.  How had their employer known about this?  Or whoever sent them, because something was definitely very fishy.  [i]But they're my ticket out of here, and there's clearly something going on.  If the power's out I can probably ditch them somewhere here.[/i]  The noise of the lights had faded, though she still heard the chorus of other machinery and monitors.  A hospital wouldn't have all their power on the same grid, and they'd have a generator backup for essential systems.  That wouldn't include all the lights.  Might be worth a shot.

It was reassuring that the clothing was not precisely her size.  Only close enough.  Lee disregarded modesty beyond turning away to quickly pull them on.  She ignored the flashlight, but the gun made her hesitate.  It sounded like she could really use some sort of weapon.

[i]No, bad idea.[/i]

The first rule of any weapon was know how to use it, and she'd no training with firearms.  She knew, in a vague sort of way, some of the basic rules, but even ignoring personal safety with it Lee wasn't sure how to go about aiming one.  "From the sound of it I'm already in trouble.  The last thing I need is to commit an actual crime.  Oh, and I'm Lee."

She could hear noise in the hall, people speaking with concern, trying to figure out what had gone wrong.  There was still fuzz along the edges of her senses, but she had her balance and her coordination.  And really, did she even know what she was looking for to be after them?  "Ready as I'm going to be, I guess."  Shoving a hand into her purse, she grabbed her swiss army knife and flipped out the largest of the blades by feel.  It wasn't exactly a good weapon, but it was what she had, and she knew how to use it.  Lee didn't pull it out into sight, but just having it open and ready where she could easily grab it was an advantage.

She prayed she wouldn't need to use it.
