Chapter 17: Strange One

Sheila begins to conjure a plan on how to retrieve her next victim. When she thinks of it, she realizes she can not do this alone. She slowly creeps up to the closest hidden camera, which was located under the surgical table. She looks directly into the lens.
"I am going to need some help with this one," Sheila maliciously states.
Her face is shown through on a tv monitor on a desk, which Dr. Reid has been sitting at and watching the entire time, following Sheila's every move.
"You need help. Say no more." Dr. Reid states as he stands up and exits the room. He enters the next room, lifts up a picture frame on the wall, revealing a small green button. DR. Reid presses the button and a small sharp noise is heard through the facility. The noise startles Max and Brody, making both of them worry. The find the closest room in their perspective hallways and hide. The siren stops. Max and Brody wait to hear anyone pass by. They heard no one and within ten minutes, they were back exploring.
Meanwhile, Sheila cleans the blood off of her in the bathroom and heads back to the security camera room. Dr. Reid was outside the room with five other scientist who were...against people like 'the strange one'. Sheila met Dr. Reid and the scientist outside the room.
"Sheila. Good job. Now..." Dr. Reid began to say but was cut off by Sheila.
"I know. The strange one. Do these..."
"Yes. They are curious as to knowing what is wrong with him. They will help you."
"Good. Follow me from afar." Sheila instructed.
The scientist nodded in response. Sheila then went to reach for the knob on the door to the security cameras when...
"East wing," Dr. Reid stated. "You'll find him there.
Then, Sheila turns and begins to head toward the east hallway of the facility. She continues to walk, occasionally looking back to see how far the scientists are behind. When she is pleased with their distance, she continues to head to toward the east hallway and stops at a room full of chemicals. She tries to get in but it is locked. Sheila snaps her fingers and one scientist runs up to her with the key. He hands her the key and she unlocks the door and opens it.  She walks in and searches for a small cloth. She spots a torn lab coat on the ground. She kneels down to the lab coat and rips of a small square of cloth. She stands up and begins to search for the chemical she looking for and within a few minutes, she retrieves the cloth and drenches it in the chemical. Sheila rings it out in the nearby sink so it does not drip all over her clothes and puts it into her pocket. She puts away the rest of the chemical and exits the room. She nodds at the scientist a the end of the hall, signaling them to follow her. She makes to the entrance of the east wing.
"Stay here. I will come and get you. But stay hidden." Sheila orders.
The scientists stay behind as she moves down the hallway, peaking in and out of each room, going through multiple sets of double doors. Then, through the fifth double door, she spotted him.
"Max!" Sheila shouted as she barged in through the double doors.
Max was shocked by the sudden outburst and turned to her. He ran to her.
"Sheila! What's wrong?" he asked, recognizing her fear.
"It's Christine! I was checking each room when all of a sudden I heard her scream. I feel like she can be in big trouble!" Sheila exclaimed.
"Ok. Ok. Calm down. Where is she?"
"Down the north hallway. Let's go!" Sheila exclaimed as she grabs his hand and begins to run down the hallway. Sheila soon lets go of his hand and the two are running down the hallway, pushing through the double doors. They reach the end of the hallway, leading into the dimly lit lobby. Max stops in his tracks as he spots one of the hidden scientists.
"Sheila?" Max questions.
"What's wrong...Max?" Sheila states as she reaches for her pocket.
Max turns around and looks at Sheila holding the piece of cloth.
"What's that?"
Sheila smiles maliciously. "You'll find out."
Sheila charges at Max and pins him against the wall. To her shock, he was stronger than she thought and broke from her grasp.
"HELP!" Max began to shout as he ran through the lobby toward another hallway, favorably with fewer doors to not slow him down.
"Get him," Sheila instructs and within seconds the five scientist were on him and nailed him to the ground. He is struggle to break free and the scientist put more force into holding him down.
"HELP!" Max screams again.
Sheila kneels down toward Max's face.
"Shush..." Sheila states as she places the cloth over Max's mouth and holds it there until Max is unconscious. Sheila stands up.
"Take him to the 'room' and put him in a hospital gown." Sheila orders.
The five scientists stand up, pick up Max's sleeping body and head to the 'room'.
