Dan got the map of the hospital from a bulletin board near the entrance. They went through the door to reception and Herbert stopped briefly at the desk before they went through the door near Maggie. There was nothing much in the room besides the typewriter on the desk. They approached the typewriter and Herbert picked up a key.
They returned to the hall and went up to the 2nd floor. Herbert looked at their surroundings, which seemed familiar to him. He also believed they should be familiar to Dan, but he was sure Dan was too busy with the woman trying to replace him.
"We seem to be in the employee wing," Herbert said, nudging Dan as gently as he could. This caused Dan to look up and notice their surroundings.
"I was about to say..." They heard static. "Wait a minute." He looked forward. "Guys..."
They saw some nurses in front of them. Not the nicest looking ones, though. These had no faces and their dark white, short and low cut dresses were covered in blood. They were holding rusty steel pipes.
"Of course there would be nurses like these in a hospital like this," Herbert said. "Especially in this town."
Dan whipped out his gun and shot at the nurses as they walked toward him slowly and stiffly. Their heads jiggled as they walked. They fell to the ground and began twitching. Herbert finished them off with his shovel and they turned a corner to their left. They went into the women's locker room.
"We shouldn't be in here," Dan said nervously. "It just doesn't feel right."
"Oh, Dan, it's not like we'll be caught. We're the only ones here," Herbert reassured him.
"That's true. Thanks for that."
They saw a teddy bear and went over to it. Dan picked it up and felt something prick his finger from inside. He almost dropped the bear.
"What's wrong?" Maggie asked.
"I just pricked myself..."
"Are you okay?" The tone in her voice was sarcastic for some reason.
"Yeah." Dan pulled a bent needle out of the bear. He sucked some excess blood off his wound.
"I really hope you are," Herbert said.
"Thanks, Herbert."
