“Can I please talk to you for a minute?” Mrs Jacob said, needing a private conversation with Nick.

Nick left Alvaro and followed Mrs Jacob into her room. “It’s almost midnight, you should get some rest,” Nick said, getting into the room and closing the door behind him.

“I can’t sleep,” Mrs Jacob said, walking to the bed to sit down. “I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole thing, and it has really turned my world upside down.”

“What on your mind?”

“I want to leave. I want go back home.”

“Mrs Jacob, I’m afraid that’s not possible. Your son is-”

“My son is safe with you guys, yes?” Mrs Jacobs said, interrupting Nick. “I know he is, and that’s why I wanna go back home alone.”

While listening to Mrs Jacob, Nick frowned. He was surprised that she was willing to give up her son, if that was what she meant by returning home without him.

“I get it now, my son will never be safe if he’s with me,” Mrs Jacob said, looking over at Monroe with teary eyes. “Plus, I honestly think he’ll be better off living at that classified place you were telling me about. At least I will know he’ll be safe. I also believe one day he’ll come back to me. But right now, this the best decision I can make for him. Me being here will just get in his way, and in your way too. It’s better if you focus on him, and him only.”

“Mrs Jacob, are you sure this what you want to do? I mean, we can help you to start a new life somewhere else.”

Mrs Jacob shook her head, holding her tears from spilling out. “No,” she finally said. “I don’t want a new life. I need to go back home and bury my husband. I’ll find a way to pick up the pieces and start over again.”

And Mrs Jacob was still young, in her mid-thirties, so she could start over with a new family.

Nick felt bad and sad that Mrs Jacob’s life had changed in just a few hours. Losing her husband was one thing, but giving up her son could destroy her. Either way, he had to respect her decision.

“Okay, I understand,” Nick finally said. “Do you want us to handle the police?”

“No,” Mrs Jacob said, shaking her head again and wiping the little tears she had no power of keeping from coming out. “I will deal with th-”

Just as Mrs Jacob was about to finish her statement, she was cut off by the lights turning off. Nick opened the door and walked out.

“What going on? Why did we lose power?” Nick asked.

“I’m not sure,” Alvaro responded.

“I’ll check on the generator,” Chad said.

While Chad was walking towards the door, the red light on top of the door turned on, meaning there was an intruder in the build.

“Shit, security has been breached,” Alvaro said.

“Alvaro, get the guns. Right now!” Nick commanded.

“What’s going on?” Mrs Jacob said, seeing that everyone was panicking.

“Mrs Jacob, I need you to go back into your room and lock the door,” Nick responded.

When Mrs Jacob was on her way back to her room, The Crea knocked the steel door down. Everyone was in shock as they saw the creature. The Crea was different from the one Lindi had fought earlier. It was bigger and taller, but it had the same appearance, except the fact that the skin wasn’t burnt but hairy.

Chad attacked the Crea first with his bare hands, trying to fight it off. Nick then joined him, but both of them were not successful. The Crea struck its claws on them and they were left injured.

While this was happening, Mrs Jacob remained frozen where she was, unable to move as she saw the horrible creature. Alvaro returned with the guns. He tried shooting at the Crea, but the Crea jumped back and forth between the walls to avoiding the bullets. The creature then jumped on Alvaro, ripping out his throat with its claws.

Nick got up and tried to take one of the guns, but the Crea got to him and struck its claws on his face. Chad was already fatal injured, so the Crea turned its attention to Mrs Jacob. When she realised that the creature was staring at her, Mrs Jacob let out a huge scream, and the Crea also struck her with its claws.

Monroe was already awake when this happened. He was standing by the door, watching as his mother was being killed by the Crea. While he was staring at the beast, his heart began beating frantically. He then started screaming, and the Creature growled in response, feeling pain in its head. Monroe screamed louder, and the Creature’s head exploded.

When everything was done, Monroe walked towards his mother’s corpse and cried. He cried so loud that all the computers and screens in the room shattered into pieces.

Tell us: Now that Monroe’s mother’s is also dead, what do you think is going to happen to him?
