Rescuing River, part 2

True to her word, Elisa had returned as soon as she was able.  From Owen, she'd gotten a report on the situation outside the hospital, namely that it was a virtual mob scene between reports and Quarrymen.  The one group simply wanted the story, the other was there to protest Gargoyle involvement and spill their typical bile.  It didn't look like there'd been any signs of violence, but the presence of hosptial security and police barriers probably had something to do with it as well.

Having scouted out the situation, Elisa had made a very careful entrance to the hosptial, taking advantage of a few different air shafts and the like, as well as simply good luck when it came to empty hallways.

What was curious, however, was that when she did locate River's room, Simon was nowhere in sight.
