Chapter 13: Missing
"Heres the security tapes from that hallway during the times we suspect Dr. Ibly was murdered in" The secruity guard hit play on the tape. Tony watched intentively, this was all he could get his hands on without the police noticing him. He knew he had to find Jack before they did.
He watched the tape in fast-forward, nothing out of the ordinary, a few nurses went in and out of Jacks room, and Dr. Ibly entered the room alone, and a few minutes after Tony told him to let the tape play at normal pace. He watched scanning everything as Jacks' door was opened slowly, he saw Jacks' head glance out scanning everything, trying to be silent and unnoticeable. The tape was in black and white but Tony could tell there was blood on Jacks' face. He watched Jack edge out of the room and take off quickly towards the hostipal exit, Tony was amazed at how well he could move for his state of being. Tony played the tape over again, searching for anything and everything that could give him some sort of lead towards where Jack had went. Tony had paused it once Jack had fully entered the corridor, he had been holding his right arm close to his body, and his right hand was holding his throat.
Tony then glanced to the secruity guard. "Do you have any secruity cameras looking at the emergency bay?" He asked.
"Umm...theres one...here it is" The secruity guard pulled out another tape and swapped it with the one in the VCR already.
"Thank you" Tony smiled as the secruity guard nodded then pressed play on that one. Tony scanned threw it in fast forward mode as the other one and then he stopped as he saw Jacks' figure rush out of the building. Tony watched Jack jerk his head from left to right, trying to figure out which direction, Tony presumed, then he jolted off warely towards the right, and escaped into an alley, and that is the last footage he saw of Jack. It was a small lead, but hopefully enough of one for Tony to find Jack.
"Do you mind if I take these with me?" Tony asked the secruity guard.
"mmm...the police will want to see these sooner or later" He sounded unsure.
"I need to find him before the police do, please let me take them" Tony nearly begged him, trying not to sound desperate but he did anyways.
"I could lose my job for this" The secruity guard mentioned before handing both tapes to him.
"O thank you so much" Tony took the tapes smiling in gratitude towards the secruity guard then jolted out of the room where the secruity tapes were.
He made his way quietly through the hostipal, thinking to himself, their secruity isnt very good, seriously a wounded person got through their hands. He went outside and found the camera, he then found the alley that Jack had disappeared into. He figured out it had been a good 5 to 6 hours since Dr. Ibly was murdered and Jack vanished. He didnt have much hope of actually being on a lead, and figured Jack was long gone. He knew even if Jack had been injuried he was the master of going dark, and when he wanted to disappear he would disappear. The lead is propably dead, but he had just a little hope left that there would be another clue. He walked into the alley scanning around carefully, it was a dark dank place. He felt the shivers go down his spine as he passed the first garbage canister. He looked behind the large one and found some discarded clothing. A hostipal gown and Jacks' wrist band. His mind raced back to the footage he saw of Jack leaving his room, He instantly figured out why he was holding his right arm so close to his body, he was holding cloths. Tony sighed heavily as he knelt down to the pile of discarded clothing and fumbled through it, they were stained with blood. Tony instantly thought of Dr. Ibly, it must have been his blood. He glanced around for any more clues, anything to lead him onto something else.
He then randomly laid his eyes on the other buildings' back door, it was slightly ajar. Tony stood up slowly edging towards it. Slowly opening the door only to be greeted by pure darkness in the room, the door creeked loudly as Tony pulled it open. He then stepped inside slowly.
