Ethan opens the door with only a slight crack.

"Please let me in. I'm trapped." The man begs.

"Wait, is that.. Fish Fingers?" Charlie then asks recognising the voice.

"Charlie? Yeah, it's me."

"He works at the supermarket with me. In the seafood department. He's been to prison and he's a bit crazy, but he's always nice to me. How did you get there, man?"

"They tricked me."

"Who's they?"

"Who are you talking about? Are you there alone?"

"They tricked me and they left me to rot." He tries to push the door open further.

Lucy helps Ethan keep the door open only a little bit.

"Who left you to rot?

While they talk, your attention turn to the birds in your trolley. They get hysterical, chirping and fluttering around in their cage.

"There's something wrong." You nervously say. "Ethan, something's wrong."

"Please let me in."

Fish Fingers starts to pound on the door.

"Look at it! It wants you to see it! Let me in!" Fish shouts now and pound harder time which gets the door more opened.

"He's too strong." Lucy strains to hold the door back with Ethan. They start sliding from the force on the door.

You exclaim when Charlie runs at the door. He tackles Fish back into the loading dock with him. Ethan falls to the floor when the door slammed closed after them and he looks at it in shock.

"Look at it, Charlie. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Charlie?" Ethan ask, then they hear slashing sounds. "Charlie!"

Then blood starts pouring through from under the door and you gasp.

"We gotta go. Come on." Ethan says and goes to you.

"Let's get outta here." Douglas says.

Then Fish starts knocking on the door again like nothing happened. "Please. Please let me in."

"How is that guy alive?"

...

Getting out the car, Ethan slams his door shut angrily. His jaw is clenched and he has a deep scowl on his face. Felix looks for Lucy, then hug and kiss her in relief.

"Wow, look at all this stuff." Olympia says as they unload the car. Then she see the birds. "Birdies?"

"They seem to sense when the creatures are around."

"Where's Charlie?"

...

You're standing alone in the kitchen eating chips when Douglas walks in with booze.
