Lord help me, I will never get used to that.

Who: Jai and open to staff
When: Noonish
Where: Security offices, basement level
Eventual language behind a cut.

Today was supposed to be Jai's day off, and he'd been enjoying it by sleeping in, until his phone started ringing an hour ago. Apparently they'd had a morning runner, and she'd broken a security guard's nose. Said security guard was now insisting he was in too much pain to finish the rest of his shift. Fantastic. Jai had dutifully risen to fill in, and he hadn't said a word of complaint. Oh, sure, he was thinking it rather loudly, but he knew the guy. He wasn't really a bad guy, and if it had been the other way around he probably would have done the same for Jai. Maybe.

Unfortunately, the guy was also the sort who would have forgotten his own head if it weren't attached. Jai headed to the infirmary to grab his walkie, and discovered the batteries were almost dead. Jai didn't complain here either, though he could have reminded him that these were supposed to be checked at the start of every shift. He just took it, wished him well, and headed back to the hotel to change them out.

He took the elevator down to the basement, not running into anyone as he headed into the empty security office. There was always the rumble of the washers and dryers in housekeeping, but Jai barely even noticed that anymore. He opened the storage locker at the end of the row, and pulled out the box of batteries. Empty. Frowning, he began rooting in the locker for another one. Nothing. "Well they've got to be somewhere, we need them," he thought aloud. Then he headed over to the small office fridge because, again, the guy he was relieving was kind of a flake and he'd found much stranger things in there in the past. He did find a book (...the hell?) and a half-eaten candy bar, but nothing else. Then he stood, turned, and found a softie standing not three feet in front of him. do not want do not want ever... )
