Olivia heard the front door bell go off, idly glanced at the security camera screen in the entrance area. What she saw froze her blood to ice, made her heart stop dead in her chest.

Emma was standing there, her face pale and terrified. The man behind her had a large knife, and the knife was jammed in to her stomach. Liv saw blood, and right away, she was back on that conference room floor, being sliced open. Her head spun, she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t even see.

“Hey, Liv… you coming in for lunch?”

She turned towards the voice, trying to see past the black dots scattered across her vision.

“…Liv?”

It was Kristin, she saw now. Kristin had been at the safe house for over a year, and she worked in the kitchen. She was standing there, staring at Olivia with concern.

“Liv? Hey, what’s wrong?”

Weak, wordless, Olivia gestured at the screen. Kristin walked closer, looked for herself, blanched.

“Who’s that?” she whispered.

Liv shrugged, still not able to make a sound. Her paralyzing terror at her vivid flashback was now morphing in to shrieking terror for Emma. The bell rang again, and both women jumped.

“I have to let him in,” Liv said hoarsely. “You activate the Code Red. Gather everyone up, get them all to the safe room. I’ll stay here and see what he wants.”

“You mean, who he wants,” Kristin said, her voice hollow.

“Yes. Go now.” With an enormous effort, Liv pulled herself together, gathered her chaotic thoughts. “Get everyone downstairs and locked up. Call the cops and Dallas from the panic room, OK? Tell him that he needs to call Dean.”

“Yes.”

Liv watched Kristin dash out of the room, and with a trembling hand, she pressed the ‘speak’ button on the two-way intercom, trying to sound calm. “Hello?”

The man stared up at the camera. “Open the fucking door or I split her open.”

“Liv,” Emma said, her voice quavering. “Liv…”

“Shut the fuck up,” the man hissed, and Liv saw fresh blood soaking Emma’s coat. “You want your kid to die right here?”

“Oh, God.” Liv stared at the red spreading across Emma’s stomach, trapped again in her own nightmare memory. “Please don’t hurt her anymore. I’m buzzing you in.”

“Hurry up, cunt.” The man shook Emma, and Liv watched as her friend’s small body jerked back and forth like a rag doll. “I’m running out of patience here.”

Liv pressed the ‘open’ button, stood back. The man shoved Emma in to the entrance area, shot a quick look around. Liv raised her trembling hands, trying to look both helpful and helpless.

“Please, stay calm,” Liv said. “Just tell me what you want.”

“Francine,” the man rasped in a French accent. “Where the fuck is Francine?”
