as samantha and michael are making their way down the stairs, they hear a slight whimpering, samantha immediately recognizes the noise, and realizes that it is her daughter alyssa, who is now crying, and hiding in a corner behind some boxes. Samantha rushes down the rest of the stairs, and says; “oh honey” ”, oh honey” ”, come out, it is mommy”, alyssa comes running out, wearing a little, sunday school dress. Terribly frightened and crying, alyssa jumps into her mothers arms, saying, “im sorry mommy, i should've stayed outside like daddy told me mommy”. Samantha replies, overcome with emotion, “its ok baby, im just happy you’re ok, you are safe now and you don't have to worry anymore”. Samantha then asks, “where did your daddy go”? “honey”! Alyssa replies, still crying, “when the alarm started buzzing” ”, and all the lights started flashing” ”, daddy went looking for you mommy” ”, he told me to go outside, and wait for daddy and mommy to come out”. “i waited” ”, and waited” ”, and no one ever came” ”, i got scared mommy” ”, so i came back in looking for you” ”, but i saw a scary man covered in blood mommy” ”, he chased me mommy” ”, i ran in here” ”, i locked the door” ”, then you found me mommy”. Samantha, just overcome with happiness that alyssa is ok, she cradles alyssa in her arms rubbing her head and says; “it will be ok honey” ”, im proud of you” ”, we are going to find daddy now” ”, it will be ok”. In addition, with that, michael begins scavenging looking for ointment for his hands, after awhile of shuffling through the enormous amount of supplies, michael finally finds some cream. Michael puts the cream on his hands, and wraps them in gauze. Samantha manages to find michael a strong painkiller, and she tells him to take these. Michael takes the pills, and within minutes, he is not feeling a thing except extremely calm and peaceful. They see a large amount of boxes with a government seal on them, knowing they must be the drugs, michael tells samantha, “we have to burn them” ”, and destroy them” ”, all of them”. Samantha agrees, but says, “we have to find my husband, jason first”, and with that; samantha hears a familiar sound, it is jason’s phone, playing a specific ringtone, that samantha recognizes immediately. It is coming from the opposite side of the shutter door, which is attached to the loading dock, where they deliver supplies coming into the building. Alyssa speaks up, “mommy” ”, mommy” “that is daddy's phone mommy” ”; i thought i heard it ringing, before you and that man found me mommy”. Samantha hesitating starts heading toward the shutter door, with michael and alyssa hanging back. As samantha gets closer to push the button, which is on the wall, right beside the shutter, to open it. Jason’s’ phone stops ringing. With samantha’s hands shaking nervously, knowing that no one answered the phone, samantha presses the button. As the shutter slowly rises, samantha lets out a loud scream, “oh no, no, no, honey”. Seeing jason, lying in a pool of blood, splattered on the ground, suffering from the trauma of an extreme fall. Samantha rushes over to jason, kneeling over top of him, rubbing the hair that is soaked in blood from his forehead. Realizing jason is dead, samantha looks up, to see a window, on the 13th floor busted out; realizing jason must have been thrown out the window, while trying to find samantha. Samantha crying, asking jason, “why didn’t you just leave”, michael covers alyssa's face, to hide her from the traumatic scene, and takes her away. Alyssa not being able to recognize that it is her father lying on the ground, asks, "when are we going to find my daddy", michael struggling for words, speechless, not knowing what to say, replies, "soon". Samantha extremely distraught, from another intensely traumatic experience, manages to pull herself together for alyssa. Samantha walks back in; with a fire in her eyes and says, “lets burn this fucking place to the ground”. With that, samantha and michael begin setting fire, to the inner walls of the first floor, in hoping that the fire, would spread throughout the interior of the building. Samantha and michael then rush down the stairs and light up the drugs, which are extremely flammable and flare up completely, within seconds. As sam and mike head up the incline of the loading dock ramp, exiting the nightmare that they had just endured, past jason’s lifeless body. With michael, carrying alyssa, as she tightly grasps her doll in her arms, hiding her face from the gruesome scene, of her fathers body, motionless on the ground. Samantha reaches in jason’s pockets, and grabs the keys to their vehicle. Samantha then notices a folded envelope, in the chest pocket of jason’s jacket addressed to their home, which has the same government seal, which was on the boxes. Samantha gently kisses jason’s forehead, she then looks into his eyes, one last time and says, "i love you". The trio makes their way to the car, realizing there is not a vehicle on the road and nobody insight. They safely reach the car without a problem, in what looks like a ghost town. As the three of them get miles away, with samantha refusing to look back, samantha begins reading the letter inside the envelope. Which reads, (public notice) dear civilian, we are running a military sweep of the city, gathering all the dangerous and violent elements that have been destroying our peaceful community, we have been monitoring all the citizens with wire taps, and undercover surveillance. It has been determined by us, that you are not a threat, and are still useful in society. We ask you to quickly gather your family, and evacuate the city, to the military base located on the outskirts of town. Do not mention this to no one, other than your own household, at the risk that you would alert someone that is not on our safe list. If you show up at the base with someone that is not on our list, you and your family will be considered a traitor and charged with treason, and immediately contained, separated, and thrown into military holding cells. We regret that it had to come to this, but we will make sure, that this situation comes to a swift, and peaceful end. We look forward to seeing you and your immediate family. We will begin the sweep starting at 9pm tonight. Thank you for your cooperation and good day. (end letter) samantha letting out a sigh as she finishes the letter. Michael glances in the rear view mirror, too see the asylum lighting up the night sky in a blazing inferno, which can be seen for miles around. They had finally escaped the nightmare, but michael was soon, about to find himself alone again, and thrown back into the madness, and realize this was truly far from over.
