His every sense was on high alert. He strained to pick up the slightest noise, detect the smallest motion around him. Nothing. Good. He poked his head out a bit farther, looking to see which way might lead out of the hospital. Looking down the hall in both directions, he noticed a difference in the lighting to the left. He squinted a bit to be sure his eyes weren't fooling him, then nodded and was about to start limping toward the light source, when he sensed someone near him.<br/><br/>Moving without thought he reached out, grabbed ahold of the offending arm jerked it around, and pinned it behind the back of the person who'd been about to attack him. He felt his legs begin an automatic follow-through motion, preparing to sweep the man's legs from under him, when he blinked his eyes and realized what he was doing.<br/><br/>Embarassed, he immediately released his hold on the man and quickly began to hobble away, hoping the brighter end of the hall meant sunlight, which would mean a door that would lead outside. His hunch had been right. The pain in his head was fighting for the championship position, competing with his knee to become the worst pain of the day. He clenched his teeth and ignored them both. The sunlight seemed a welcome reward as he began hobbling down the street, looking for a place to hide.
