Surrender Yourself

The hospital's atmosphere is quite disturbing at night. Craig could not help but feel chills all over his body. It seemed old and haunted. "Gotta get through the security to check the cameras' recordings of the vicinity." Craig thought to himself as he sneaked towards the back of the hospital building.

"Here goes nothing." Craig peeped at the service entrance to check if there were any security around. All he could see were the trash bins and the red light above the entrance's door. No one was at sight. He creeped towards the door and quickly opened it and came in.

The hallway was partially lit since some of the flourescent lights were out. He slowly made his way through the hallway to check the rooms in between.

"Where the hell is the security area?" Craig thought, pissed and nervous.

At the end of the hallway, he stopped and checked both sides if anyone was there. He saw on his left a man pushing a cleaning cart. At the end of that hall, he saw a sign that says, SECURITY.

"There it is." Craig thought as he breathed heavily.

As soon as the man went inside a room, Craig rushed for the security room and walked past the door where the man went inside and the cart he left. Craig sneaked in the security area and saw a large man with his legs on the desk in front of two monitors. "There it is." Craig whispered as he saw the disks piling at the side of the monitors. "It's only been a couple of days since Cassidy's death. The disks should be recent and weren't kept." He thought.

Craig moved in stealth as he approached the table. He suddenly hit the man in the nape with the side of his palm. The man was left unconscious. Craig began to insert a disk dated, October 12-19th 2013.

He was shifting the video to fast forward to the day of the 17th and 18th. "Now where is Andrea Frost?" Craig asked himself as he was checking the multiple feeds in the hospital. Suddenly, he felt his ears buzz.

"Hi Craig." A voice whispered to Craig.

Craig quickly turned to his back and saw no one. He turned to the other side but still nothing.

"Looking for something?" The voice said.

"Who are you?" Craig asked.

"Awww. Craig. Don't you remember me?" The voice, taunting.

As Craig realized who it was, he ejected the disk and kept it in his pocket. He rushed towards the door and opened it. Shots were fired towards the door and Craig shielded from it.

"You won't get away with that disk." The voice said.

"Oh, I will." Craig said with a smile on his face.

Craig grabbed the cart and covered himself with it while making his way towards the men.

"Hey! Hey! It's detective Summers from SFPD! Hold your fire!" Craig shouted as he was showing his badge. A shot was fired again at Craig. "What the-?" Craig was pissed.

As he peeped through the cart, he saw the two men at the other side of the hallway. There was something weird about them. They were firing at Craig's direction aimlessly. Their eyes were blank dead. "Shit. They're under control." Craig said to himself.

Craig threw a tray at one of the guards and hit his head. The other guard was continuously firing at Craig. "I can't fire that guy. What to do?" Craig was searching for something he could use. "Here goes nothing." Craig thought.

Craig pushed the tray towards the guard as he bowed down to evade him. The tray collided with the guard and had him immobilized. Craig then ran towards the exit. He can already feel the relief as he was almost at the exit.
