The guy in the dog mask pulls the trigger letting out a bullet which flies aiming for Manuel's head who stays still horrified at the sight. Maggie takes his hand and drags him up the stairs on time so the bullet hits the wall and Manuel is pulled back to the present.
They run up the stairs with Maggie ahead and Manuel behind as he's slower because of his injury, the guy in the mask runs after them and jumps landing flat on the stairs which stuns him a little, he grabs Manuel's leg as Manuel struggles and kicks him on the face, he let's go of Manuel and rolls down the stairs while they keep running and make a turn to the next row of stairs while the guy gets get up and shoots at them three times before his bullet finishes but they don't get hit.
The guy in the mask gets up, picks up an axe he sees leaning on the wall and chases after them
Manuel leads Maggie into a room and locks up after she gets in and they both push a drawer to block the door
" Who is that creep? " Manuel asks horrified
" One of the things I needed to tell you and he's here for you if I'm correct " Maggie says
" And then he got my Mom, she's dead because of me now and this stupid mark" Manuel almost spits the word out as tears almost roll down his cheek
" Your niece, was she still down?" Maggie asks as a loud banging comes from the door
" No, no, my sis, her mom took her out for a while" Manuel says sitting on the bed processing all that just happened " That's one less death on my hand"
The bang on the door gets louder and louder as he uses the axe to try to break the door
"You guys have an axe!... Why do you guys have an axe?" Maggie asks
" My dad loves chopping woods and trees and all that" Manuel replies
" Well we need to get out of here now cause that door won't hold forever... Is there any way out?" Maggie asks
" There is one. Can you swim?" Manuel gets up from the bed and moves to a window " Off this window we land directly into the pool "
The guy breaks a part of the door, he puts his hand in through the hole and unlocks the door. He pushes the drawer and enters the room but doesn't see them, he sees a window open and he runs to it and looking down he sees them both coming out of the pool and running away
" Go, go!" Maggie yells out as they run and keep running, she turns back to see if they are being followed and turning back she hits someone in front of her and she let's out a scream, slapping the person
" Hey hey Maggie, it's me" Trevor holds her hand trying to calm her down and then she hugs him
" What happened to you guys?" Trevor asks
" And why are you soaking wet?" K.C asks
" Tell you on the way, we need to get as far away from here as possible" Maggie said " Where's Austin, I thought he was with you guys"
" He was, they had a family emergency " Trevor replies
" Can I borrow your phone?" Manuel says to K.C " Mine is well" He brings it out from his pocket and water drips out then K.C hands him his phone. He calls his sister warning her not to go hone and then the cops, all while they kept moving on
******************************
Max- So finally the day had come to an end and the madness it brought with it was behind us. Surviving today was nothing but a miracle, the shocking part of it all was it happened all in one day
Wendy's killer Jeff is finally caught, I honestly didn't see that one coming. He's behind bars now but the guy in the dog mask is still at large
Max- We all got together to talk about our day and decide what our next move was when all our phones start beeping, it's Joe's autopsy report posted and going Viral.
Joe was killed by the exact same virus that killed the CEO in China and his family but Joe was killed by the creature we got rid off. So connecting dots, I'll say the creature was the virus's host or the virus itself, a new mystery we'll have to look into. As we were all together, keeping track of ourselves and our movements, we all forgot one person, one essential person........ Anne,

She puts her phone in her bag, walk to her door and turns off the light, opening the door she sees the guy in the dog mask standing before her and before she could let out a scream, a gun shot is heard.
