 Dzosh reached out and grabbed both his robe and gloves, putting them on without touching the puddle. "You're insane! Please! Stop! She's only a baby!" Dzosh's insane grin only got wider. "You took something from my family," he said, putting on the pig mask. "...so I'll take something from you'res..." The flashing visions came back to me. But this time they weren't about Sophie: They were about Lucy. I saw her sitting in her little crib as a figure started to emerge from the shadows behind her. The pig-man. Dzosh could tell that I was going to start screaming for help, so he took a piece of tape and put it over my mouth. "Go to hell, Annie," he whispered. "Sinner..." He walked out of the door, turning off the lights. Then he looked back at Sophie, then me, then the computer. "3 minutes left." 

 Slam!

He shut the door close and left the room. Sophie began to cry. There has to be a way out! I tried to undo the straps, but they were still too tight. I sat back and began to cry again, tears rolling down my cheek. I sort of fell into a trance. I saw a big green field, and on it was me when I was Sophie's age. Mom was holding my hands as we skipped through the field. "Mommy," I asked. "Will grandpa be OK?" Mom smiled and lifted me up. "Yes honey, grandpa is okay. He's at the nursing home, and soon, you're going to visit him. The sky started to turn dark and in came thunder, followed by lightning. I suddenly realized that someone was stalking me and Mom in the forest. Dzosh. The pig-man. More thunder and suddenly I saw Gramps sitting in his rocking chair. Behind him snuck the pig-man, more thunder immerging behind him. Another flash of lightning and I was back in reality. I looked down at the countdown on the computer. 1 minute left. I got an idea.

 Furiously, I bent down as low as I could. Maybe my fingers could reach my hairpin and loosen the straps. I curved my head a little and felt my hairpin. My two fingers got a firm grip of it and pulled it out. Then I sort of bent my wrist backwards and hooked onto the strap, loosening it. YES! I jumped out of the chair and the strap holding down my right arm came off. After loosening all the straps, I looked on the computer and realized there were 30 seconds left! I tried to undo it, but there was so much code on the computer screen. And I knew NOTHING about computers. I typed random keys, but the word NULL just kept popping up. 10 seconds left. I didn't know what to do. I threw the computer on the floor and began crushing it. I hoped that I somehow stopped the countdown before hiding Sophie behind the desk. "Be quiet," I whispered to her. "I have to go and save Lucy. Stay here and be quiet, I'll be back soon."

 I knew exactly were Dzosh was going, too: The New Heimes. It was a hotel right next to the hospital. My parents stayed there with me for a while after I was born, so I figured that had to be were Dzosh was going. 

 When I got to the hotel, one of the big windows were broken and all of the lights were shut off. I crawled through the broken window and walked into a dark room. I couldn't see anything, but I felt a light switch to my left. I flicked it on and screamed. Everywhere were dead bodies belonging to security guards. Some had there throats slit and other looked like they had been stabbed ten times in the chest. All over the walls were drawings drawn from the security guard's blood. I tried to ignore, but the smell of corpse was too strong. I focused on Lucy. The only problem was, I didn't know where she was. Through the door was a large hallway which split into three smaller ones. I realized if I took the wrong path, I might not make it in time. And to my luck, nearby there was a room labeled, "Security/Maintenance".  I walked in and immediately saw a series of computers hooked to the wall. 

 I also saw another security guard sitting in the chair watching all of the cameras. "Excuse me, sir. Thank god I found you! Some maniac is trying to kill m-" I spun the chair around and saw that the guard had his through split open and he was holding a bloody knife in his hands. I looked up at the security cameras and pushed the chair away, looking at the cameras. There were so many controls, but eventually I found a button that let me scroll through the times. I set the time for 12:41 PM and clicked play. There were a few security guards sitting there and it looked like they were talking. They kept laughing and joking until they was a loud crashing noise. They froze. One guard pulled out his gun and went to investigate. I hit the button to fast forward a few minutes. The other guards were standing there when all of a sudden, somebody from the doorway through the guards bloody corpses into the room. That's when I heard the song "California here we come" come on and the man in the white mask walked into the room carrying his machete. I watch the footage in horror as he joyfully slaughtered all of the guards one by, each death more brutal then the other. Finally, after impaling the last guard, Lukas looked up into the camera. The footage blacked out. I kept pressing play, but the footage stayed completely black. Dzosh must've come in here and cut out the footage so I didn't know where he went! That's when I noticed something in the corner of the room. Dzosh is smart, but he doesn't exactly have 20/20 vision with that mask on. Because right there, covered in blood, was a map of the entire hotel.
