Chapter 15: Pinpointing The Sound

Trying to pinpoint the sound, he went back to each room, one by one. The "Wolf" Room was empty, including the bodies of the three he had just taken out with the Magnum. The examination room was empty as well, nothing unusual there. Entering the "Lion" Room, he had a strange feeling. He noticed the microscope was turned on again, and the slide had returned. "This is really getting strange..." Returning to the sixth room, he found the bookcase was moved, and the door to the hidden passageway was open. Lighting a second match, he inspected, finding nothing had changed there either. The Autopsy Room was empty, and none of the bodies that previously inhabited the room were there. Next door in the Morgue, he noticed all the containers were open and empty; the body bags were missing as well. Opening the door to the medical supplies closet, he noticed a few things were missing, but most of the supplies remained. Walking into the bathroom, he noticed the mirror was shattered, and some blood covered the sink, but otherwise it was unchanged. Only two places were left to check. He walked inside the doctor's office, noticing the file cabinets had been overturned, and a few files were missing. "Who could've done all this?" No place left other than the main room, he equipped his shotgun, ready for whatever was in there. Going around the corner, he stood in the doorway of the main room, looking around. No one was in there. All twenty-nine remaining patients that were there before had disappeared. Deciding to inspect a bit more, he found an eleventh door, hidden before but now revealed. There was a picture of an Eagle near the door knob, leading him to believe the Eagle item was indeed a key. Putting away the shotgun, he returned to the tenth door, ready to inspect what was beyond. Opening the door, he was surprised by what he saw: stairs leading down, under the building. Carefully he climbed down them, stopping at the bottom. An entire floor was down there, as big as the first one he had spent so long exploring. On first inspection, he found seven doors and one large room. He decided to start with the large room. On a shelf next to the light switch, lay a flashlight with plenty of extra batteries. "This will help a LOT if it works." Putting a few batteries inside, he turned it on. A fairly bright light came out, strong enough to illuminate a small size room on it's own. "Great, now I can explore the other rooms," he said, turning and leaving the main room. The first room was completely dark, and the lights wouldn't work. Leon turned on the flashlight, revealing what once could have been the nursery of the hospital. Now, dust had covered everything. He looked around in the cabinets finding nothing but cobwebs and more dust. Leaving the room, he went down the hall to the second door. Turning the knob, he shined the flashlight inside. A janitor's office, filled with cleaning solutions, tools, mops, and brooms. Shutting the door, he continued to the third. Locked, with a label on the door: Authorized Personnel Only. "Hmph, well I think I qualify, seeing as how I'm the only one here," he thought, shooting the lock with his handgun. The door opened easily. The light switch worked this time, so he turned off the flashlight and put it away. Looking around, he could tell the room used to be a lounge for doctors and nurses. A couch and coffee table were on the right side, with vending machines on the left. He exited that room, making his way to the fourth door. Turning the knob, he entered, needing his flashlight once more. It was a records office, keeping track of everything the doctor didn't have in his personal office upstairs. Dozens of file cabinets and shelves filled the room, and Leon was about the leave before a file caught his eye. Used much more recently than the others, it was sticking out of a file cabinet drawer that someone carelessly left open. Sitting in a nearby chair, he sat down to read. "It is my recommendation the patient be admitted for a psychiatric evaluation on the basis that he has exhibited unusual behavior on several occasions. He claims to know 'Umbrella is behind it all' and 'They control us with the bell'." The rest was a list of prescription medications the doctor should force the patient to take once admitted, but the majority were crossed off: all except "tranquilizers, to help him sleep". Nothing left of interest, he left the records room, and walked to the fifth door. Unlocked once again, the door opened easily. A light was on inside the room, revealing an old machine and a table with restraints. Looking at the door, he read the label: Therapy. "Hmm, it must be one of those machines they use to give shock treatments." Moving on, he went to the sixth door, hoping to find something useful soon. Nothing inside. The last door in front of him, he turned the knob to the seventh door. Inside he found a room full of monitors. Some were turned on, showing areas of the town, hospital, forest, and lake. On a seat, there was a file and a key: the Eagle key he had been looking for. He sat down to read the file. "Some guy from Umbrella told me to keep an eye on the "special patient" today, saying he was getting too close to their secrets. Ha, what secrets? They were taken down a couple years ago, but I guess a job's a job, so I'll do it this time..." Leon heard a sound behind him, but before he could turn around, he felt a sharp blow to the back of his head. Falling forward, his vision was replaced by darkness, and he didn't move again. No chance of finding Sherry now.

Is this the end?
