Logan searched the building methodically and with ever increasing speed as he came upon more and more gruesome discoveries. A jar of eyes balls floating in some sticky looking green gel on a shelf positioned right next to his own eye most recently. A little earlier, there had been what looked like intestines hanging from the rafters from one of the rooms. He hadn't really wanted to stay in that one for very long.

Logan came to a large steel door with a temperature gauge on the front next to a large handle. Even standing next to it, Logan could feel the waves of coldness that was coming off of the metal. A walk in freezer. Logan suppressed a groan, most likely something nasty would be in there. A quick flick of his arm and his claws extended, not willing to go on faith in this place.

The freezer door opened easily and Logan instantly saw that he was right. More corpses were inside. Laid down on metal shelves with a coating of ice crystals clinging to them. All of these bodies at least seemed intact. Oh wait, scratch that. There was a pair of human ribs hanging from a hook over in the corner. Logan closed the door with a slam. He really wanted to get the hell out of here. He was getting too used to seeing bodies everywhere.

A short ways down the hall there was another freezer. Logan hesitated before reaching out to the handle. He'd better check and make sure. But Logan frowned when the door didn't open. Who locked a freezer? The other one hadn't been locked and that had bodies in it.

Logan sliced the handle off of the door now he had to see what was inside. He grabbed the edge of the freezer door and pulled as hard as he could. The door opened fairly easily and a cloud of mist streamed out and covered the hallway. Logan sent his senses flaring again; ready for anything that might be inside.

The first thing he saw was the dead, distant, eyes of a girl about Jean's age almost directly in front of him. There was a shelf of dead bodies right in front of the door and they were all staring at him. "Fuck…" Logan muttered taking a small step back from the door. The way into the freezer was completely blocked by a wall of corpses. But that wasn't like any of the other rooms.

This was the first one he couldn't see into. Logan steeled himself away and took a hesitant step closer. It was then that he noticed the door wasn't completely blocked. There was a small walkway right along the wall and the shelves of bodies that he could use…if he really wanted to. He didn't really want to…he really wanted to go back to the mansion and have Chuck erase all these images from his head. But he had to find Ghosty first. Then he'd need some serious therapy. They both would. Not that they didn't already of course…

So, Logan crept along the wall, careful to stay as far away from the bodies that seemed to still be looking at him as possible. Once Logan made it to the corner, he could see the rest of the room easily. Strangely enough, there was only one other body in the freezer.

A young girl with…white…hair? "Sam!" Logan rushed forward to where Sam was laying with his back to Logan. Logan grabbed Sam's shoulder and the teen instantly flopped down to stare at the ceiling blankly. Logan took a step back.

Sam's chest was ripped open with none of his organs in the anatomically correct spots due to the ribs no longer holding them in place. His left eye had...exploded was the only word for it. Blood and eye fluid streamed down his face and the eye itself was mangled in its socket. "Kid, Sam…say something, Ghosty." Logan said gently shaking the teen's shoulder.

Sam just stared at the ceiling and didn't even seem to notice Logan was there. Ice crystals clung to his skin, turning it blue in several spots while his hair was frozen into stiff clumps. Logan noticed the stitches around Sam's wrist had slackened and the limb was in danger of falling off again.

~Chuck, I found Sam but he doesn't even seem to see me.~ Logan said still staring with a bit of horror at the mangled eye socket.

~Bring him back, Logan. If he's left his body we can deal with it here in the Institute.~ The Professor said after a minute of silence.

~He's been tore up pretty badly, Charles. I don't think any of the kids should see him like this.~ Logan admitted as he shed his coat to cover Sam's naked and mangled body.

Charles took a minute to search through Logan's memories of the building and Sam's condition. ~Agreed. Come in through the bay doors. I'll alert the proper authorities to the building once you've gotten back. Those people deserve better than that.~

Logan silently agreed as he lifted Sam's limp body. He hadn't figured Sam would weigh as little as he did. He couldn't be more than ninety pounds. Carefully, he edged his way past the row of bodies. He could swear he saw their eyes move to follow him as he slid past.

Once he was out of the freezer, Logan wasted no time in backtracking to the outside of this horror fest. This experience would probably add a lovely tinge to his dreams for the next few months. He could only be glad none of the kids had been here to see this sicko's work. They wouldn't have been able to handle it; especially not Half-Pint, she'd have been running through the walls to get out of here.

He made his way back to where he had left the car and carefully put Sam across the back seat. Sam still didn't seem to notice anything, though the ice crystals were starting to thaw and leave trails of water across his skin. Bits of ice melted off his hair and dripped down his cheek like a tear. "Don't worry, Kid, we'll help ya." Logan said before closing the door to the back seat.

I did a little editing and fixed up some of the grammar problems that I caught...it was late last night.
