Vanguard HQ
Doctor Quantos walked at a slow pace through a long hall, headed for the "mini-Hospital" within the HQ. The "mini-Hospital" is a basic infirmary built as part of his large laboratory, useful for quick emergency care.
Quantos walked past the door that led to the infirmary. The infirmary is used for examinations, while the isolated rooms nearby, which are soundproof, are abilitated for patients to sleep and such. Quantos stopped in front of a door that led to one of these rooms. This was the room Mick was staying in.
Quantos had told Mick that because of all the things he had in his mind right now he wouldn't be treating him for the moment (for that a local doctor who Quantos knew was hired, Doctor Perez). However, he thought it wouldn't hurt checking in on Mick to see how he was doing. After all, though they were certanly not close, the Doctor and the young man had a good relationship.
The Doctor opened the door and felt a draft hit his face. Before he could say anything about Mick having to "close that window, for God's sake," he noticed the debris in the floor, the big hole in the wall, and the abscence of Mick, in that order.
Shirley was kneeling on the debris facing the hole in the wall, the draft coming from the outside making her long brown hair move.
"Shirley!" a shocked Quantos exclaimed, walking into the room, "What...? What...?"
Shirley turned and looked at him. Her eyes were wet.
"He took him away," Shirley said, "He took Mick away."
"Who?!" Quantos asked.
"Naecken."
