[QUOTE="talien, post: 5374991, member: 3285"] [b]Music of the Spheres: Part 14 – A Little Muzak[/b] They clambered up the stairs to the next floor. Randy kicked open the door, pistol at the ready. Outside one of the rooms in the hall, an older man was repeatedly slamming his shoulder into a door. He held a shotgun. “Let me in you BITCH!” he snarled. A woman on the other side screamed something unintelligible. "Hold it," said Randy. "This is the sheriff—" The older man whirled on the sheriff and his deputies. “Help me! She’s trying to transmit the signal to the other stations!” "Put the gun down," said Randy. The man lifted the shotgun to a firing position. Randy knew the pistol retort was Donny's. The man fell down dead, instantly. A perfect shot to the heart. Randy swore silently. But this time he couldn't chastise Donny. There was no time. "Check him for keys Bob." Bob tapped the dead man's nametag. DR. CARL GUEST. "Not our guy." "Check him anyway!" "I'll do it." Donny rifled through the corpse's pockets. Randy rapped on the door. "Ma'am?" A woman's shaky voice replied. “He’s going to do it!” she shouted. "I told him not to but he's going to do it!" "Now calm down!" Randy found himself saying that a lot. "Now what is going—" The door shuddered from a pistol shot. Blood and gray matter seeped from beneath the door. Randy swore again. "Bob, help me with the door!" He stepped back and Bob blew it open with the shotgun. When they tried to move it, it was blocked by something heavy. Pushing and shoving, all three men managed to get the door open. Dr. Mancini lay on the floor, slumped forward, her brains painting the door. The .38 lay in her lifeless hand. Donny looked down, distracted. "She must have been really upset." Randy started dragging the corpse out of the way. The stairwell was on the other side of the room. "Well don't just stand there boys get helpin'." "Randy," said Bob, pointing at a screen across the room. It was a monochrome feed. A man in a rumpled suit and tie whose nametag read DR. NEAL was walking back and forth, pushing buttons and turning dials. He turned and looked at the camera. "Oh no…" was all Randy got out. He waggled a finger slowly. Then he reached down and turned a knob… And the Music of the Spheres began blasting through every speaker in the room. [/QUOTE]
