CHAPTER 5
You frantically whip out the sonic and scan the frame of the left door. Once it slides open, you immediately dive through it and shut the door behind you. Putting your back up against the closed door, eyes closed, your heart races as you listen for approaching footsteps. You wait with bated breath as you hear the footsteps stop right outside the door. To your relief, they open the door across from yours. Things are silent for a while, giving you time to look around the room you're in. It looks exactly the same as the other room you were in before, except there is a medical table with unbuckled straps on it. To your horror, it's covered in dried blood. You feel an onslaught of nausea hit you full on when you see the table. Swallowing the bile building up in your throat, you decide to scan the room with the sonic, to detect any abnormalities. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, until you hit a certain spot on the adjacent wall with the screwdriver. It starts beeping; establishing that whatever it's found is metal. You want to investigate, but where the metal is, it's too far out of your reach. You remember the medical table; it could give you a boost! You grab it and push it up against the wall, right underneath where the metal is. Standing up on it carefully, you are now able to reach the metal. Able to get a closer look at the metal, you notice it is a grate; one that would typically cover an air duct. You sonic the outline of the grate, and it falls right into your hand. You place the grate gently on the medical table, careful not to make any noise. You feel the area where the grate was and realize it's hollow. It's most certainly an air duct. All seems quiet outside the door, but it still might be dangerous. And you don't know if it's safer to crawl through the air duct.
If you decide to go back out the door, go to chapter 7.
If you decide to crawl through the air duct, go to chapter 8.
