"Are you okay?" Ada asked. Concern written all over her face.  

Timothee frantically searched the living room, the cursed dolls were nowhere to be found and there were no signs of that woman. 

"Where is she?" 

Ada and Jake exchanged looks with each other. 

"Who?" They asked in unison. 

Timothee got up on both feet and ran upstairs. The same way he went when he was under her control. The hallways were silent, eerie even. But still no sign of the dolls. 

"Timothee, you're freaking me out, man. Who the hell are you searching for?" Said Jake. 

Timothee ran his fingers through his hair. "That woman in the painting, I saw her." 

Ada raised a brow. "But she didn't even show up ever since we got here. Are you sure you're okay?" 

Timothee ignored them and ran back down the stairs. This time, he went towards the kitchen. The same table was in the center and he saw the chef's knife on the counter.  Ada and Jake followed closely behind, utterly confused as they watched him pick up the knife and frown at it like a mad man. 

"Look, Timothee, I don't know what happened when we all got knocked out but you're really scaring the shit out of me. You gotta talk man." Jake suggested. 

Timothee turned to look at them, waving the chef's knife in his hand. 

"That woman and that doll is alive. She used this pollen that we inhaled. I swear I saw her, I can still hear that maniac laugh that stupid doll has." The bioweapon explained. 

Ada sighed and left the kitchen. "This place is already hell as it is, let's just go. Your sister's life is on the line." 

The three finally left the mansion and stepped into the snowy exterior of the village. As Ada and Jake walked in front, Timothee remained at the back, talking to himself. 

"This is the first time I've seen him so agitated." Ada said, glancing back at the bioweapon occasionally. 

"Let's just leave him be. He needs some time to think things through." Jake replied. 

Ada sighed and decided to change the topic. "So, where to now?" 

Jake did his signature shrug. "Anywhere but here." 

After a few minutes of walking in the snow, Ada glanced back and stopped dead in her tracks. 

"Oh god.." 

Jake turned around as well. "Shit. Where'd he go-" 

Ada jogged near a tree with a pathway that leads to the left. "Footprints." 

They followed the said footprints and came to a clearing. There, sitting on a bench near the end of the cliff, was Timothee, dazed and distressed. Jake ran up to him and grabbed him by the shoulders. 

"This is not good," Jake said as he examines the other's eyes. 

Ada stepped a bit closer and for a brief moment, drained the colors on her face. 

"Is he gonna-?" Ada stammered. 

Timothee's eyes turned into slits. Jake rummaged through the bioweapon's coat and grabbed his T-virus bag. 

"Christ.." He clicked his tongue. "He hasn't taken any of his dose since the last 48 hours. God." 

Ada moved further away this time and raised her hands in surrender.
