He stood there-out of breath and trying to get mental clarity.
Dr. Miles Bennell was aghast-still in unbelief at what he had just witnessed and gone through-
"Dr. Bennell-"
"Yes?"
A small group of police officers entered in the room where he was.
"We've just notified the government-,"
"Ok and what'd they say?"
No initial response.
"They say you're cleared to proceed home."
"What-what do you mean? What about everything I just related to you earlier?" he protested.
The cop put his hands up in a symbolic gesture-as if to say, enough...
"You need to get some rest-it'll do you well Doc, and besides-let's just say upper management is handling this matter now.."
The doctor's eyebrows wrinkled in frustration-
"You know what? Very well-"
"Your personal items are in a bin on your way out. Er, do you need any of us to escort you to your house?"
"Uh-no, that's quite alright officer, I believe I will be okay for now," the doctor responded.
As he drove home-he noticed that the standard hustle-and-bustle was virtually gone-
He happened to pass by a high-rise building,
Shadowy human figures stood in the windows, not moving an inch..
As soon as his gaze met those people in the window-the hair on the back of his neck stood straight up.
An eerie sensation came over Dr. Bennell...
Come on, drive faster.
His house came into view soon enough-
A police vehicle pulled up behind him and followed at a distance...
He got out of the car after abruptly putting it in Park.
Fumbling with the keys, the sensation came back..
He found the right key and forced it in the keyhole and turned it quickly...
the door seemed to be fighting him..
Eventually it opened and the doctor virtually threw himself inside..the terror chasing him...
Finally he put down his things.
"It's happening again!", he blurted out
