"First of all, I'm happy that everyone could make it specially Bob...oh Bob, would you like to be our first contestant? Of course you do, get up here old chum"said Jack in menacing manner as Bob, a patient who's brain has been fried due to all of the electro shock therapy that he received went up on the stage. Two bulky men tied Dinah to the wall on Jack's right side, "Ladies and gentlemen, for my first trick, I'm going to skin Bob alive...HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Kidding I'm kidding of course, I couldn't do such a thing to Bob. Now if you'll excuse us, Bob and I have a matter to discuss."said Jack as they both get off the stage.

"I'm in hell, that son of a bitch tricked me, of course he did, he's insane or extremely sane...I can't differentiate between them, nobody can"thought Dinah to herself as she hears continues screaming, the patients kept cheering as Bob went on the stage wearing nothing but a white satin robe. "C'mon Bobby, show them what you're made of" said Jack as Bob takes off the robe and shows his body skinless, it didn't take him more than 20 seconds before he lost his consciousness and died immediately. "What the hell is wrong with you, Jack?" Dinah asked furiously.
"Nothing actually, I'm in a good mood today" Jack answered calmly.
"Get me out of here, please, I'll do whatever you want me to do, just let me go" Dinah begged.
"Nah, it's not gonna be that fun if you're not around. Plus, we haven't even gotten to the main attraction yet" said Jack as he grabs the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'll  take 5 and prepare for the next part of the show...Burning the guards" said Jack as he freed Dinah and took her with him behind the stage.

"You lied to me, I trusted you"said Dinah, "Well, you can blame yourself on that. You trusted me, a psychopath. Look Doc, you wanna go, then go , but keep in mind we will see each other again, I still need you for my main attraction" said Jack as he went back on the stage and went on with the show. "I have to survive the night until someone releases that I'm missing, and that will take a while...oh god help me" thought Dinah to herself as she stayed silent while looking for a safe place, somewhere that she can stay in, perhaps even sleep in, but she knew that it was nearly impossible to find a place that wasn't filled with patients.

"It looks like all of the patients are under Jack's command. He said that he needed me for his main attraction, this means that he's gonna find me sooner or later" thought Dinah to herself as she went inside the wardens office and locked the door behind her. "He let me go because he knows that I'm not gonna escape out of the asylum, but what does he need me for, what's the main attraction?" Thought Dinah as she hears hears a woman's voice from behind the locked door. "Help me please, Help me" whispered the woman, "Who are you?" Dinah asked, "I'm the janitor, please they're gonna kill me, open the door, please"said the janitor whispering, "How can I make sure that you're not a patient?" Dinah asked the janitor. "You can't, just please open the door, my life depends on it" said the janitor as Dinah started thinking which decision should she take: Open the door and risk her life or trust this woman behind the door.

Dinah made the decision, she wasn't going to open the door, she doesn't want to risk her life. She thought to herself what could happen to her if the woman behind the door is a patient and that is the thought that kept coming back in her head as she declined opening the door. "I'm sorry, but I can't open the door, I can't take this risk..."said Dinah. She heard the woman shouting "HELP, HELP ME PLEASE" said the janitor as she was being pulled by an inmate, "Shut the hell up already" said the inmate as he shot the janitor in the face. "Holy shit, I need to escape out of here!"thought Dinah as she hears a voice talking on the speakers "Dr.Parker, please come to section A-24"said Jack on the speakers.
Dinah kept thinking about the woman behind the door, she kept wondering if she made the right decision or not. She thought about Jack's plans for her and what they could be but Dinah knew one thing...no matter what she does, she's dead.
