[It takes a day before the Soldier can make it out all the way out to the museum to check on Bruce. A survey of the tables outside and the remains of the food showed Bruce not among them, and peering into the nearest defensible positions showed him not there, either.

Next stop, the museum, but it's far enough out that the Soldier has to be careful about it, make a special trip rather than trying to tack it onto their general sweep of the village, but they do go. Bruce can probably look after himself if he's awake... but what if he's not awake, brought food back to his haunt to eat there, or got injured in his escape from the first wave of attackers? The Soldier has to make sure.

So, gun in hand, senses stretched, they creep along the open space between the path and the museum fully expecting an attack, albeit from spirits rather than anyone defending the building and its inhabitants.]
