CH 8

Jacob felt short of breath, as they stepped into the giant warehouse lights turned on. Officer Miller ran over to the man in the chair.

“He’s dead” She said glancing at a needle on his forearm.

“Let me see.” Jacob said walking over to see the needle.

Officer Miller pulled out her gun “Not any closer”

“Let me see him damit, unless you want to die alone with only me for company.”

“So you can’t make the elevator go back up?”

“Well gee there’s a thought glad you came up with that one.” Jacob said moving closer to take the needle out of the guy.

The officer glanced back over at the elevator, at first glance it looked just like a storage closet but the door slid to the left like an elevator door. She looked at the dead body; it was a disgusting sight, his face looked like it had been peeled off and his skin was black as the night sky. The blackness not darker the closer it got to the needle in his right forearm.

“Very well” she said, lowering her gun.

Jacob walked over and touched the needle but then jumped further than he ever thought he could jump backwards as the body took a breath.
