Library, Sunday Evening

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

When Henry got the message from the vice principal asking him to stick around after Jono closed up and unlock special collections, he didn't ask too many questions.

Mostly because he was a little afraid what the answers might be. Guys who wore hooded pajamas all the goddamn time had that effect on him.

He propped the doors to special collections slightly open and took a seat in a study area not too far away, dark eyes anxiously watching the action.

"A library?" He asked, looking around with a frown. "She's in a library?"

Well, maybe she was a naughty librarian too?

Henry shrugged a little. He usually would have bristled at the just a library suggestion, but this didn't quite seem to be the time.

"That's what they tell me," he said, improvising. "Zoe and Deadpool would know. I just work here."

"He doesn't look so scary," Deadpool said, poking at Clancy's chest. "Are you sure he's the evil mastermind?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I spent all weekend in a warehouse with him. He made me watch bad movies. And the music." Zoe shuddered. "He's evil, trust me."

"...but women love Brad Pitt!"

"My wife always said he was too pretty," Henry offered, rising from his seat. "I don't get a lot of evil masterminds in here. Any particular tour I should give?"

"Ohhhh, no, no, no," Deadpool replied, moving around to put a hand on the evil genius' back to push him forward. "Just access to the Special Collections. It's like the Negative Zone, I think. Only, you know, special instead of negative."

A beat.

"...that makes it sound like it should be on video telling kids about the dangers of bullying."

"It might take you a bit to find Dolores," Zoe said, pushing him forward with a sharper motion. "But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time."

"What does that meeeeaaaa---"

It wouldn't be proper unless he fell into the Special Collections without a good old fashioned cut off scream, after all.

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

Well.

That was an exit.

Henry opened and closed his mouth a few times, and what finally came out was, "Okay, nobody is going in there for the rest of the school year."

"Good man!" Deadpool said, slapping him on the back heartily.

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Deadpool, and smiled at Henry instead. "Hopefully, no one else will have to go in there either," she said, glancing at the doors. "Thank you for unlocking it for us. It's a fitting place for him, trust me."

Henry kept glancing back at SC with a semi-horrified expression on his face. Fifteen years in the Newberry hadn't really prepared him for a library that ate people.

"Let's go get coffee," he suggested. "Someplace that ... isn't here. Please."

It might give him a chance to ask what was wrong with the actual jail on the island.

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I think that sounds like a wonderful idea," Zoe said, turning her back on Special Collections with an air of finality. Coffee with something hard in it sounded very good right now.
