Swamped

"Have you noticed anyone leave the hospital? Because someone seems to have taken a page from a book. Possibly believing it's magic."

Sunflower shakes his head.

"Well, I suppose that's another thing for you and your friend to keep an eye on. And it might be good to look into an actor with the last name Laikenne. I think I might have a few questions for them."

Sunflower doesn't even gesture this time, just runs off. Well, you suppose that's that for the moment. Time to check in on Mortimer. Your own bed is on the way, so you grab the book. Just in case you get a chance for reading.

Mortimer doesn't seem particularly happy when you arrive. He does seem to have just showered, though, and apparently removed his bandages while he was at it.

"What do you want now?" he asks.

"Got a scouting report. Someone seems to be on the move outside, and they might be looking for you."

He groans.

"I'm not getting any sleep tonight, am I."

"I managed to get some rest earlier. If you really want to sleep, I can keep watch."

He looks annoyed at having to make the decision. But he finally seems to settle on sleeping.

"Wake me in an hour if nothing happens," he mutters, before lying down.

Well. You can get a little reading done. You'll need to be alert, though, so best not to get too enthralled.

About five pages in, you hear a noise. A very distinctive noise.
