Chapter 4

Haddonfield County Hosiptal:

Jennifer is recording her night's work on her Dictaphone when she is interrupted by the doors swinging open, "Hey Jen, got 3 more for ya hear that makes 6 by my count, Hell of a night huh" "Thanks leave em with the rest please"

Jen moves over to the next body, these all came from the Bowles place and she is hoping and praying Sara isn't here that it was a mistake, however she has already found Myles her boyfriend. She opens up the remaining body bags, and the last one she opens is Sara, her friend, "Oh No Sara!" she whimpers, she feels dizzy but knows she has a job to do. "I will find out who did this to you hunny" She unzips the bag and wheels the gurney to her examination table and carefully moves Sara's body. She is full of cuts and bruises the deep laceration to her neck was the killer blow Jennifer figured. She notices a strange symbol carved into her left breast, it resembles a triangle flat against a line, "Huh? What the hell is that", she makes a note and takes pictures, then she carefully cleans Sara up and places her in the freezer ready for her Mom to identify her in the morning. She takes her time carefully examining all the bodies and before she knows it she looks at the clock and its 4am. She shuts her computer down locks her drawers and heads to the staff room for a coffee and a shower before heading home she trundles up the corridor and heads into the staff room. Fresh coffee in the pot she takes a sip before deciding to just go home, she needs sleep she is completely drained. As she makes her way to the parking lot behind the hospital she goes up through the empty wing which was once the cardiac care unit since moved to a new floor, its shorter this way plus she won't bump into anyone and have to feign a conversation. She hears noises coming from one of the side rooms, a small light emitting from the office door, not wanting to stop she peeks through the glass and sees Rick and Nancy from supplies in the throes of passion, Nancy straddling Rick as his hands wander, Rick see's Jennifer and gives her and wicked smile, she doesn't respond but keeps walking she feels a tingle of excitement and yet sadness all at the same time. She finds her car and almost autonomously drives away, nearly hitting a police cruiser she brakes sharply then apologises to the officers who wave her on with a sympathetic nod she then heads up the front street on her way home. The officers pull up and exit the car, they head for the front entrance round the side and in the background we see another car pull up, it has Smith's grove Sanatorium on the side a pair of black trousers and boots steps out. We cant see the face but he follows the officers round the building and in the front, we catch sight of the 2 officer's getting in a lift, before a burly nurse asks, "Can I help you sir?" He turns and reaches for his pocket, takes out his ID, "I'm Dr Gabriel Loomis, I am here to see your Chief of Staff he is expecting me" "Oh, yes of course Dr" the nurses stutters almost apologetically "He is on floor 15, office and the end of the corridor" "Thank you" The figure strides toward the elevator and the doors close. The nurse picks up the phone and punches in an extension number" Hello Dr Sinclair, Yes Sir he just arrived, he is on his way up".

The two officers amble towards a door and quickly look inside, whoever they are here for is asleep, best way too after what she has been through. They take a seat outside the door, we can see from the sign that a Jane Doe is in the room. The door opens and out steps a pretty young nurse with blood samples and the patient's chart in her arms "Oh hey there, I'm Rachel I have been taking care of our mystery lady, she has been sedated so if you need to talk with her your gunna be a while", " That's ok Miss we are here to protect her until the Sheriff arrives in the morning" "Ok, if you need anything I will be right down the hall at the nurses station". One of the deputies (Graham) turns to (Harley) "Damn H, wish I wasn't married, "Aww hell cut it out Graham your old enough to be her grandfather" "Shut your mouth kid, respect your elders" he jokes. We move into the room, the young lady is heavily bandaged and in a deep sleep, we can see her eyelids flickering, the soft beep of the ECG machine makes sure she is ok as outside snow starts to fall, the faint crack of morning is rearing it's head, Halloween is here….
