Richard left Kathrin alone in this room, as she didn't answered him. He tried to conviece the guard to let him go alone, but with no success. Even he went out alone, how should he slay these creatures? He hadn't a weapon and his strength was not enough to kill some of these beasts, all by himself. This happend a few hour ago.
While the other teams had done their job out there, he was in the headquarters all the time. But he didn't waste his time by doing nothing, no, he made some researches on these Creatures. He searched through the databases of the TGF, and the internet, as well.
Now, late in the night, es finished his researches. He printed all the informations he has got, and went through these corridors, reading his informations again and again. It wasn't allowed to him to overlook something.
These building was bigger then he had expected. While he was walking through these corridors, his eyes were on the paper sheets all the time, he passed the engine room and some meeting rooms, as well. But he was still focused on the informations in his hands.
But then, something raised his curiosity. He thoughts "Why? Why the partner from these pointed-eared girl is sleeping here? This can't be comfortable. And why exactly here?" Richard looked around and detected where he was.
"Nevermind", he went on, tried to refocus onto the information-sheets. But then ...
"Damn it", he railed quietly, he put the paper-sheets down, and went on to Mary, trying not to be too loud.
Now, as she slept there, she commemorated him to his sister, a little bit. Years ago, he had an accident, only his leg was broken. It wasn't much. His father never visited him in the hospital, but his little sister were there all the time. One night, he couldn't sleep, and so he decided to walk a little. He found his sister sleeping on the chairs, like Mary now.
He sighted deeply, kneeld down in front of Mary, and shook her shoulder gently to wake her up.
