He ran at me. His knife still clutched in his hand. Mine also still clutched in my hand. He jumped and tried to stab me on his way down. I moved out of the way. I slapped the knife out of his hand and it cut a gash in my hand. I ran out of there. I ran to my floor and into the bathroom. I got in the first aid kit and put gauze and everything on it. I knew though that I had to go back down there and contain Joe. So I did. He'd calmed down and he followed my orders. It was now 7 a.m. My shift was over. I could go home. I had to be back in their at 3:00 though, so I went home and got as much rest as possible for a guy that had just about been brutally attacked the night before. I was well rested by 2:30 and ready for whatever troubles lie ahead for me at work, or was I? I was driving to work and I turned on the radio hoping to hear Tina Turner or some C.C.R. Instead I hear the most chilling and spine tingling news report ever. It went something like this

"Body Discovered at a psychology facility near downtown, It is claimed to be a suicide by the director of the facility, Dr. Drake O'Connor. This is what he had to say "We believe one of the subjects in our latest and unharmful test decided to take the short way out, we found him hanging there after out night shift worker Dr. Owen Robertson had just came off his shift at 7 a.m. The victims name was Joe Kooser"
Then the broadcast was over and just like that a song came on. I drove into the parking lot and saw ambulances, cop cars, and news vans. I walk as everyone was leaving. It was just me and Dr. Drake in their and some fellow interns. "YOU DID THIS" Dr. Drake proclaimed and ran at me, tackling me and punching me. I told him I didnt but showed him what he did to me. He said "You did that to yourself to cover up what you did to him". I then punched Dr. Drake and he falls back into the control panel. It was dark downstairs but when he fell he turned lights on, somehow. Their was the bloody corpse of Tan also down there. "What is this"??? I ask very intently. He says nothing. I scream and demand "WHAT IS THIS"??? I throw him against the panel and punch him Once, "TELL ME"! He says "You should find out very soon". I then snap. I grab my pocket knife but before I can do anything he grabs his gun and fires but I hit his hand so it falls out and the bullet doesn't hit me. Dr. G must have heard something because she walked in and she grabs the gun off the ground and shoots it aiming it at both of us.....
