Unstable – Extract 4 (Emily)

 Extract four takes place shortly after extract three. We’re back with Emily here. Hope you like it. Make sure you pay special attention to the first paragraph. It’s a basis to what the story is like in the future.

Emily paced back and forth. They had received a report that a man had appeared out of nowhere in a diner nearby. He was wearing a hospital gown, shaking and muttering to himself. His nose was bleeding and his eyes were bloodshot. He seemed like a mad man. But Emily knew that while he was mad, he was for a reason.

He must have come from the cells.

Brock had gone out to examine the situation. Emily hoped he would be okay. If the man had just appeared in the diner, he might be dangerous. There was no telling who he might be, what he might be able to do to Brock.

“Emily!” It came from over the radio. “Emily, I’m at the diner. You’d better check this out. You won’t believe it.” The signal ended suddenly.

What now?
