Four minutes later, actual nurses entered Ben's hospital room, their usual routine shattered by the sight before them. One nurse, her face turning pale, let out a piercing scream that echoed down the sterile corridor."Code Blue! Code Blue!" another nurse shouted, rushing to Ben's side. The room quickly filled with medical personnel, their faces a mix of shock and urgency as they tried to resuscitate him. But it was too late. The flatline persisted, a grim testament to the horrific events that had transpired.Amid the chaos, a senior nurse grabbed the phone and called hospital security, her hands shaking. "We need the authorities here immediately. There's been an incident."Within minutes, the hospital was swarming with police officers and detectives, their faces grim as they assessed the scene. The lead detective, a stern-looking woman with sharp eyes, surveyed the room, her gaze lingering on the lifeless body of Ben."We need to secure the premises," she ordered. "No one comes in or out until we've thoroughly investigated." Officers began cordoning off the area, ensuring no evidence was disturbed.The detective approached the head nurse, who was still visibly shaken. "Can you tell me exactly what happened here?"The nurse took a deep breath, trying to steady her voice. "I don't know. He was fine, just resting. We checked on him regularly. And then... we found him like this."As the detective continued her questioning, forensic teams arrived, meticulously examining the room for any clues. The sense of urgency was palpable; this was no ordinary case. The chilling realization that something sinister was at play hung heavily in the air."Any surveillance cameras in this area?" the detective asked, her mind racing through possible scenarios."Yes, in the hallway," the nurse replied. "But not inside the room.""Get me that footage," the detective instructed an officer. "And I want a full report on this patient and his recent activities."As the investigation unfolded, the haunting events of the lake house began to piece together. The authorities realized they were dealing with something far more disturbing than they had initially thought. The night grew darker, and the hospital, usually a place of healing, became a nexus of fear and uncertainty.The senior nurse, trying to make sense of the chaos, approached the detective once more. "He kept talking about some house, some horrors. Maybe... maybe it's connected?"The detective nodded, her face set in determination. "We'll find out. We have to."
