## Synopsis

In the dead of the night, a hospital worker yawns as he walks down the dark, empty hallways of Queens Hospital. A single police detective is stationed in front of a patient room, idly keeping watch. As he glances down at his watch, a loud thud suddenly sounds at the end of the hall. He looks up and stares down the empty corridor.

In her dreams, Sophie scrambles backwards in terror, begging to be spared. The moment she is stabbed, Sophie suddenly jerks awake in cold sweat. She glances around and realizes that she is lying in a hospital bed. An IV (intravenous therapy) line is hooked into her arm, its bags hanging off of a thin metal pole. As she sits up, Sophie lifts up her hospital gown and notices the bandages on her stomach, taping up the stab wound. Sophie's mother is slumped over the side of the bed, her face in her arms. Sophie attempts to shake her mother awake, stating that she is dehydrated. Unable to rouse her mother, Sophie resolves to retrieve water herself. She climbs out of the bed, clutching her side, and drags her IV pole along. As she opens the door, Sophie finds herself standing over the unconscious form of the police officer. Taken aback, Sophie bends down to check the body but freezes as she realizes with horror what most likely transpired.

She turns around and screams at the sight of a hooded figure approaching her. In a frenzy, Sophie slips and falls onto her bottom. She grabs the IV pole and swings it aggressively at the hooded figure, begging them not to hurt her. She rips the IV needle out of her arm and throws the pole at the figure. With the figure momentarily distracted, Sophie scrambles to her feet and begins sprinting down the dark corridor. She desperately calls for help as she dashes through the seemingly empty hospital, running with all her might until accidentally tripping over a ledge. As she crumbles to the floor, her wound reopens, seeping blood through the bandages and staining her hospital gown. Wincing in pain, Sophie scrambles to her feet and quickly hides in a closet. She locks the door and crouches against the wall, stifling her breathing with one hand.

Something collides against the closet door with a loud bang. Sophie jumps in terror, a scream issuing from her lips as the sound continues. There is a brief pause before the sound of footsteps begin to fade away. Trembling, Sophie cracks open the door and glances up and down the hall. With no one in sight, she steps out of the closet and breathes a sigh of relief. The hooded figure emerges from behind her and bashes a fire hydrant against the back of Sophie's neck. Sophie falls headfirst into the floor with a loud thud, unconscious. As the figure raises the fire hydrant again, Yohan suddenly appears and tackles them from behind.

The fire hydrant slips from the figure's grasp as they crash into the floor. Yohan states that he expected the figure to return and attack Sophie. Before he can continue, the figure raises one arm and smashes their elbow against Yohan's nose. Yohan quickly grabs the figure's arm and pins them against the floor in a lock, firmly declaring that he will not let them escape a second time. The figure uses their free arm to reach into their pocket and pull out a knife. In one swift movement, the figure slashes upward and slices Yohan's arm. Yohan yells in pain and releases his grip. The figure wrestles free and dashes away. Yohan looks down as blood gushes out of the fresh gash extending along the length of his forearm. He curses.
