Ward Nine |

Prologue

He smiles, tilting his head to the side.
"You're gonna lock me in here Doc?"

My hands shake making the keys fall from my fingers.
I step away from the gate in fear.

Cautiously preparing to run.
He smirks at me, "What's wrong? You're not scared of me are you?"

My throat tightens in a surge of panic. I can hear the thumping against my ribs.

He pushes back the bars smiling as he steps out. "You forgot to lock the gate Doc."

I turn on my heels to run to the door. I pound and pound against the wood.
The words "help" won't come out.

He grabs me and I struggle to get away from him.
"It looks like your stuck here with me."
"P-ple-" he covers my mouth.

And then cops bursts through the door with drawn weapons.
"Put your hands up!"
"Let the girl go!"

He throws me onto the ground.
"Play times over doc. You'll get me out of jail right?"
They put him in hand cuffs and drag him out.
