Darcy was also completely unaware of the man who had just walked into her room, dressed in medical clothes, blue scrubs, and a floral cap, with a name tag clipped to his lapel. A metallic stethoscope swung from his neck as he shut the door quietly behind him and walked up to the two machines that beeped. He had a large black eye, along with a few bruises that were visible on his face, which had led to an awkward conversation with the deputy who stood outside guarding the room. ‘Hey Doc,’ he had said, watching the surgeon walk up to Darcy’s room. The man had frozen before entering, not sure what to say

Trapped in the elevator, Darcy felt trapped. In her weakened state, she was in no condition for surprises. Her body hurt, she could barely walk and her mind was hazy. Staring at the mystery assailant, she was convinced she had seen him before. Questions flooded her head, but before she could process anything, Pete stepped forward.The big man

Todd had been pacing back and forth, angrily looking at the monitor from time to time, cross with the words, error. He had tried to tap the keys, perhaps harder than he should have, hoping to bring the machine back to life, but the same words remained on the screen.

Todd did not stop and moved rapidly toward the stairs at the end of the corridor. He thought his heart would burst out of his chest. He could hear the men behind him, yet he dare not look back. Todd had one thought, get outside, and headed for the stairs. The instant his left foot touched the first step, he suddenly launched into the air and came down hard, slamming into the concrete. A shot had been fired from the duo, missing Todd by inches as it struck the wall. But the ricochet had sent him flying into the air. He now lay on his back, hurting all over from the impact, listening to the slow footsteps heading his wa

Williams had disappeared back into the building carrying his blaster, walking slowly and carefully vanishing into the depth of the abandoned structure, ready for action if needed. The ground level was dark apart from the thin slivers of light that shot through the cracks from the boarded-up windows. Dust sat undisturbed on old desks and ledges, ready to shift from the slightest movement. The office space had not been used in years, apart from kids or those sleeping rough, who had stayed here until the door was secured again. A large entrance at the end of the office led to the basement. The entryway was sturdy, heavy,

The Hospital was busy. People with various ailments and injuries filled the corridor. Darcy ignored them all and carefully moved through the crowd. Darcy now reached the opposite set of stairs, took a quick glance behind her, and swung the single door open, continuing her escape, this time heading down, back to the entrance to leave the building and join Pete. Her heart was racing, she was tense and felt hot as sweat lightly covered her forehead. Down seemed harder than up and her legs were starting to cramp a little. She could feel her tendons resisting, begging for

Todd stood outside the abandoned building watching the fire crews attach hoses to the nearby hydrants and reel the long tubes toward the building. A raging fire was now pouring through the windows and consuming everything inside, including Williams who hadn’t emerged from the carnage. Todd had been casually sitting on
