10 NO WAY OUT

Jack comes back with the petrol in hand and looks around for Raquel and Trisha.

"Where did they do ?"

He looks around for them for a while but sees no sign of them.

Jason finally stands up after his fall from the window and winced In pain .

He was out of the hotel, that was all that mattered.

He looked around for any sign of a single soul and sighs in relief when he saw Jack.

He hurriedly rushed to him"Hey,drive "

Jack looked at him in confusion"What are you doing here?"

"Hey, hurry up and drive .There's a freaking serial killer out here or something"

Jack laughed "Do you think you are shooting a movie right now ?one I'm not leaving here without Raquel and two you can't go anywhere without this" he said raising up the petrol can in his hand.

"Sh*t!" Jason cursed " There's actually a serial killer out here. Do you want to die!!"

"For the last time, I'm not leaving without Raquel. Did you see her or not ?"

Jason sighed"I think she went in there" he said pointing to the hotel.

Jack was about to make a run Into the hotel when Jason stopped him.

"Are you really going in with that?" Pointing at the petrol can

Jack eyed him as he dropped the petrol can on the ground"Don't do anything stupid"

As he rushed into the hotel, Jason picked up the petrol can and filled it in the tank of the car.

He hurriedly hopped in and started the car.

As the engine revived, the car went up in flames.

The explosion was so loud that James turned around in shock as he couldn't believe his ears.

He picked up his feet and ran to the hotel once more.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Thomas got up from the floor and saw that the coast was clear.

Everyone was shivering in fear. What had just happened?

Thomas went to the receptionist table and picked up the phone to make a call to the police but no signal.

"Sh*t"he muttered as he slammed the phone back down.

Thomas watched as everyone rushed out of the hospital panicking.

Did they all know where to go? He thought.

Ten minutes later, everyone that had ran out came back to the hospital.

Thomas looked at them confused and asked "What happened?"

A nurse replied"We went everywhere but ended up back here. There's no way out "

There was a way out. And that was the hotel. Thomas thought "F*ck sh*t!"

All the old folks whimper in fear"What are we going to do now?"

"There's only one place to go now" Thomas spoke up.

"Where?"An old woman asked.

"There's an hotel not far from here"

A woman in her forties smiled "Let's go then "

"But, a killer stays there"

Everyone murmured.

"A killer?"

"What should we do?"

"I don't want to die"

"Let's just stay at the hospital"

"Yes"

Amidst all the murmurs, a young girl spoke up"That hotel, I want to go "

"What?!" The nurse shrieked

"Just staying here without eating, bathing. I can't do that, can you ?" She asked looking at everyone.

"But a killer is -"

"So what If there's a killer there"The girl asked clenching her fist "I can just kill him myself"

Back at the hotel, Arnold came out of the the woman's room with blood splattered all over him and his axe and marched upstairs.

He got to Anne's room and smiled as he saw her still tied up .

"You are still here. That's good"

His gaze turned to the broken window which Jason had escaped through and his anger heightened.

The guy has escaped. He heard a noise downstairs and swiftly headed downstairs.

Someone was in his hotel.

Raquel breathed out heavily as she locked the main door behind her.

"What was that!?" She asked Claire.

"A ghost " Claire replied.

Raquel laughed "Can you hear yourself right now? You sound dumber than you usually do "

"Hey, cut it out" Dylan said . He'd had enough with Raquel.

"So annoying"Raquel said taking her gaze off Dylan and screamed.

Claire and Dylan turned to see what made her scream and saw Arnold descending from the stairs with a bloody axe over his shoulder.

Raquel backed away and stepped on something squishy. She looked down to see Stephanie's butchered body and screamed.

"Mom" Raquel cried.

"Mister, please calm down. Don't hurt us "Dylan said to Arnold slowly backing away as Arnold took closer steps towards them .

"Welcome back "Arnold smiled"Did you miss me ?"

"Calm down , please. I really didn't kill anyone"

Arnold's smile was wiped off his face. He hated liars" Liar"

"Hey if it's him you want,just take him and let me go" Raquel said pushing Dylan towards Arnold

Arnold laughed "What loyal friends you have"

Claire turned to face Raquel"Shut up if you don't have anything to say "

Raquel's anger heightened"You shut up. It's all your fault I'm out here. My sister is dead because of you!. I don't want to die here. No, I'm not going to die here"

Raquel looked around her"Where's Jack?"

Claire's eyes widened"You came here with one more person?"

"Can't you smell alcohol on me? did you expect me to drive like this?

Just then a bang was heard on the front door startling them .

It was Jack.

Raquel quickly opened the door for him and hugged him as he hugged her back.

"I'm glad you are safe"Jack said.

Raquel refrained from him"Hey, Trisha is-"

"Jason is gone " Jack said shivering.

Claire's eyes widened"What?"

"He got in my car and it blew up "

Claire was stunned. Jason was going to leave her ?

Jack looks up as his eyes meets Arnold he whimpered"W-What's going on ,guys?"

Arnold smiled "Welcome"

Jack backs away to the door and tries to open it but it was bolted shut.

"F*ck" he muttered twisting the knob with full force but it was to no avail.

"Mister, please calm down and listen to me . That night we didn't kill anyone"Dylan said backing away slowly" if we did, we wouldn't have gone back for you"

Arnold's eyes widened"What did you just say?"

"That night, we went back for you"Dylan said
