Khalid heard Patricia’s cries on the other side of the hallway and walked fast to turn at the corner. He immediately saw an easy target. He aimed his pistol at Patricia’s back and shot three rounds. She was almost at the window. The momentum of the gunshots further pushed her moving body into the windowpane. The bullets penetrated her body and emerged out leaving big holes, smashing the window glass. Patricia’s lifeless body jerked forward. Dr. Reid who was behind her at the exit hid in time behind a stationary table kept near the door. His eyes widened as he saw Patricia’s limp body hitting the windowsill and then disappearing. Moments later he heard a thudding sound.

He forcefully muffled his screams. He heard the shooter’s footsteps approaching the table, and he didn’t know if retracing his steps back inside the ward would be a good idea.

Khalid stopped at the table, his eyes staring at the windowsill, where a moment ago there had been a human being. Dr. Reid made himself as small as possible. Any movement meant death. He did not dare look at the killer but he still couldn’t stop the smell of death from surrounding him.

Despite the darkness, Khalid could’ve easily found his next target cowering near his feet, if only he had looked down, but his eyes remained focused on the window. He could hear the police chatter outside the window, and he couldn’t give away his position. He turned around and went back to the safety of the darkness. He still had a lot of things to accomplish.

Kevin and Brian who were still in the general ward behind Reid were shell-shocked at the turn of events. In a matter of minutes, their world had turned upside down. Two of their colleagues were dead.

Kevin checked Reid who seemed to be frozen in place. He seemed to have no strength to tread further. Kevin knew that their safety lay in movement. He walked forward in his crouching position in order to pull Reid back into the ward. As soon as he reached Reid, he checked the corridor and from behind the table, saw one of the militants shooting at someone else. He looked back at Brian and Reid, and with his right hand pointed at the next opened door. Brian moved first and quickly covered the distance in the same bent position.

“Doc, let’s go,” Kevin whispered, shaking Dr. Reid. Reid looked at Kevin as if he had woken up from a long slumber. “We need to move,” Kevin whispered while pointing at the door. Reid’s eyes moved to where Kevin was pointing, and he saw Brian’s back. He followed him without question. Kevin followed the two and as soon as he was inside, Brian locked the door. Reid, who was now back in control, blocked the door with a heavy steel table.

The sound of the table in the deserted corridor attracted the attention of the shooters.

Inside, the three of them heard footsteps approaching and saw the door trembling. The door was locked from inside and the thumping on the door grew exponentially high within minutes.
