Nathan walked up to Emily's room and knocked on the open door "Hello? I'm here to move the patient to a new room"
Emily barely heard the guard arrive over all the noise Don was making dumping the shattered remains of the mirror in a metal trash can. She looked over at the doorway where guard Nathan stood, surveying the disgusting state of her room. Emily rose from her bed with her possessions cradled in her arms, and walked to the door.
Nathan led her down the hallway to a set of stairs. At the bottom of the second flight of stairs, she heard people chatting with each other as they walked past the cafeteria. Emily looked in at the people sitting around tables talking and noticed a few that looked like they might be patients. They continued down the hall until they stopped at a door numbered 24. Nathan opened the door, flipped on the light, and walked inside.
Emily followed Nathan into the room and looked around in wonder. This room was larger than her old room, better furnished, and spotless. She walked to the bed, dropped her possessions on it, and sat, checking out her new surroundings. There was a soft comfy bed with a brass headboard in one corner, a nightstand with a small white lamp on it, a dresser next to the door, and a desk with a chair. An unopened door to the left of the bed proved to be a bathroom when Nathan opened the door and flipped on the light.
Nathan asked if her room was ok and told her she would be in Nurse Janette's care now, then he left the room, closing the door behind him. Emily listened for the lock to click, but it didn't. She tentatively went over to the door and grasped the shiny round knob. She gave it a slight turn. When she encountered no resistance she turned it further. The mechanism disengaged and the door opened. "Did he forget to lock me in?" Emily wondered. "Maybe Janette doesn't lock in her patients like that horrible nurse Lidia did. I haven't seen Lidia for a while, I wonder if she was assigned to someone else."
Emily closed the door softly and began to put away her belongings in the dresser.
