They both watched the news eagerly, Sam and Mike. It was insane the amount of attention the story was getting, although they weren't really surprised.

Several people they knew had been interviewed by reporters; The paramedics on the helicopter, their families, the Washingtons. Of course the Washingtons were not only distraught, but they were angry. They didn't believe a single word about the reports from the detectives. They wanted to kill those kids. They said so themselves, right on camera.

"What are we going to do when we leave?" asked Sam, her eyes still focused on the TV. Mike paused for a minute, thinking.

"Well, for starters, we're going to have to get bodyguards." Sam smiled at Mikes reply. "But I guess I don't know." There was silence for a few seconds between them as they both thought about Sam's question.

"Nobody's going to believe us. Not our families, the police, not anyone." There was another moment of silence.

"Sam," Mike grabbed the remote and switched off the TV. "I need to tell you something." Sam looked at Mike, her flashing green eyes staring directly into his. She repositioned herself on the bed so that her legs were crossed like his.

"What is it?" Mike thought about what he was going to say for a moment. Was it the right time? Was it too soon? He spoke anyway.

"Well, back on the mountain, in the mines, when me and Josh were on our way back to meet you, I told you that the wendigo got him." Mike struggled to get the words out of his mouth. "Do you remember?"

"Of course, why?" Sam replied, fully engaged. Mike hesitated.

"Because, I think, well I mean, I'm not too sure, but there's a chance that..."

"That what?"

"That Josh..." BANG, BANG! The whole room vibrated as Doctor Jordan pounded on the door of Sams room.

"Samantha, open this fucking door!" Sam and Mike looked at each other, both startled by the mans stern voice.

"Shit, I need to hide now. I'm supposed to be in my room," whispered Mike. They quickly jumped off the bed, searching around the room for a place to hide. "Shit, shit, shit!"

BANG, BANG, BANG "Open the fucking door now!" shouted Doctor Jordan. Mike knelt on the floor and looked under the bed.

"I'll hide under here." Mike slid under the bed, pulling the covers over the sides as he done so to remain hidden. Sam walked over too the door. She checked Mike was out of sight before she took the chair from under the handle. As soon as she moved the chair, the doctor barged the door open, nearly knocking Sam off of her feet. He slammed the door behind him and locked it with his key. When he turned around to face her, he had a sinister look on his face, like he could kill her on the spot.

He walked over to Sam, as she backed away from him until she was against the wall. Mike was peeping through the sheets, trying to remain hidden. The doctor stood directly in front of Sam. She could smell the strong scent of hospital soap mixed with stale smoke.

"You have some explaining to do. And you're going to tell me the truth otherwise it won't end well, for you or any of your friends."

"I HAVE told you the truth" Sam replied sternly.

"Just shut your mouth!" shouted the doctor, getting angry. "FIVE of my men went missing in those mines last night. FIVE! So you are going to tell me what THE FUCK is happening on that mountain." His piercing eyes stared directly into hers, sending chills down her spine.

"Look, I'm sorry about your men," Sam replied, frustrated. "but I've told you what I know, what we all know."

doctor Jordan chuckled to himself, ruffling his hands through his long, dark, greasy hair and adjusting his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Suddenly he lashed out, slapping Sam round the cheek so hard she fell too the ground. He crouched down on the ground with her and grabbed her throat, pinning her too the wall.

"That was the wrong answer. It wasn't hard, Samantha..." but before he could finish, Mike jumped out from under the bed and punched doctor Jordan in the jaw, sending him flying onto the ground. He rolled around on the floor, gasping in pain.

"Don't touch her you greasy haired bastard!" Mike shouted at Doctor Jordan, as he spat blood out onto the floor. He crouched down to Sam. "You good?" Mike asked as he placed his hand on her cheek where she got hit.

"Never better." She replied, as Mike helped her up.

Without warning, the fire alarms started to ring. The sound echoed through the whole hospital, along with gasps and screams from surrounding patients and workers. Mike ran over too the door and tried pulling it open, but it was locked. Sam ran over too Doctor Jordan, whose mouth was filled with blood and took the keys from his pocket. As she turned around, he grabbed her ankle. He pulled at her bare leg, trying to pull her down to the floor. Sam lifted her free foot and stamped on his head, making him release his hand from her foot and cry out in pain.

She ran over to the door and unlocked it. Mike let her go first, then took the keys from the door and locked it behind him. The fire sprinklers were on through all the corrdiors. Patients in wheelchairs and crutches screamed and cried. Doctors and nurses ran around, trying to get patients out of their rooms. The fire bell blared, making everyones ears ring.

Mike grabbed Sam's hand and ran off towards the stairs. They dodged and collided with other people, who were muddled and confused. There was shouting and screaming everywhere, everyone was panicking.

"Where are we going?" Shouted Sam.

"I don't know, but we can't stay here!" Mike replied.

The stairs were in sight. They were nearly there. Just a few steps away, when THUD! They collided onto the floor, falling over onto the slippery surface with another group of people.

"Ah shit." moaned a familiar voice. "Watch where you're fucking going!"

"Emily?" Sam groaned. She looked opposite her, and there they were. Emily, Matt and Jess.

"Sam, Mike, you're ok." Matt sighed with relief as he stood up with the girls. Jess didn't look at Mike, neither did Emily.

"Yeah, why wouldn't we be?" Mike questioned, avoiding looking at the girls as well. Matt squeezed the water out of his hospital clothes.

"Well I overheard some doctors and one of the investigators talking about some men that went missing in the mines. One of them said that they were going to make you talk." Matt explained as he looked at Sam. "So when I was walking back to my room, I set off the fire alarm. But judging by the big red mark on your face I'm guessing I was a little late." Mike opened the doors to the stairwell and gestured for everyone to go through.

"It's okay, thanks." Sam walked through the doors along with the others. "But we can worry about that later. Right now, we need to get out of here."

"What do you mean get out of here? Where are we going?" shouted Emily over the blaring noise of the fire bell.

"Em, we can't stay here. Everyone thinks we're guilty and we're all in danger if we stay here. We need to go." Sam replied.

"Ash and Chris, we need to find them. They're in just as much danger as us." Warned Mike.

"How are we going to get them? Matt found me before he set off the bell and then we got Jess from her room. It's not going to be that easy to find these two." Questioned Emily as they ran down the staircase. Suddenly a faint voice at the back of the group replied in a tired voice.

"Yeah it is." croaked Jess.
