A stylish Cadillac stopped in front of a big building and a handsome man in suit came out from the car. There was a frown on his face as he looked at the building which once used to be filled with people but now was deserted. He put his hands behind and pulled out a Glock and gripped it tightly. Ethan was sent down by the government to investigate the incidents that happened in the building right in front of him. He was used to do all sorts of missions for the government being a special agent with special privileges. Going through all those dangerous missions he has developed an acute sense for danger. The place in front of him gave an eerie feeling which made him sure that something was not right about this place.
He walked in to the building and looked at the entrance of the building. When he reached the doors, it opened automatically with a smooth sound. He tightened the grip on the gun and entered taking a big breath. He walked in slowly through the narrow hallway and looked in to the rooms at both sides.
This building used to be a research center and until last month it was bustling with researchers and scientists but now it has become a haunted building where everybody vanished without a trace. This all started at the beginning of the month when communication from the building suddenly stopped and being in the countryside of the city government could only wait for the news for one more week before sending him to investigate.
He walked slowly pointing the gun forward searching each and every room but all he found was deserted rooms. People just do not vanish from the place and this feeling he got deepened the sense of danger. Ethan was sure that something had happened and he could not calm down the unsettling feeling building inside him.
He soon reached the end of the hallway and even during the day it was dark due to the lack of sunlight so he searched for the lights and switched the it on. He turned around and peeked in to the narrow hallway to the left and he narrowed at the sight of something dark brown on the floor. He bend down and looked closely to observe the floor and suddenly his eyes widened.
This is blood,
The hallway was filled with blood but it had dried and become dark brown. He tightened the grip on his gun once more and walked forward carefully trying not to step on the trail of dried blood on the floor. He walked for sometime and came to the security room. He tried to open the door but it was stuck so he pushed the door with some force and the door opened. He carefully opened the door and came in looking at the condition of the room. There was dust everywhere as it has not been used for some time. He looked around and finally his sight fell on the computer at the center of the room, fortunately the surveillance was still running, all he had to do was look at all the footage of what happened and sent the information to his superiors.
The research lab was a confidential project of the government and the people who had the authority to know what happens in the lab was few, He was sent by those Bigwigs so that all these problems can be solved secretly. He combed through the mountain of surveillance footages in the computer. But for the past two weeks there was not a hint of activity in the tapes. Not even one human being was visible in the tapes. He adjusted his glasses and clicked on the folder 01. This should be the day that the communication stopped so he clicked it open there was some files and he opened it.

This video was different from others as it had a lot of people going on with their daily lives. It had researchers experimenting in their labs, People eating in the canteen laughing happily, soon he clicked another file and it opened. There was a room and looking by it this should be an experiment room. There was a man laying on the bed. His arms and legs were latched tightly to the bed. But from time to time, he was growling. He face was pale and dark veins stretched out through out his face and body. He was violently struggling on the bed and two people in white coats stood around him with a note pad examining him. Ethan could not hear what they were talking about but he was sure they were talking about the person on the bed.
What the fuck is this? , one look at the person on the bed and the level of danger increased to another level in his mind. There was something absolutely wrong about this picture. He knew when he was sent here there was absolutely wrong here otherwise an elite agent like himself would not be sent here.
He skipped some part of the video and after some minutes in the video what he saw on the video made his hair stand. The man on the bed suddenly struggled free from the bed and bit on the researchers. It was cruel as he latched on to the neck of the researcher not letting him go until the other party stopped struggling. He stood up and rushed to the other researcher as well.
After biting the other researcher, he walked out of the room and started running through the hallway. Ethan skipped the video again and his face became more and more tense. Because in a matter of one hour all the people in the hospital started biting each other. There was absolute chaos , people were running around everywhere but to no avail because the infected people were faster and stronger and all they could do was run for sometime but all of that was in vain.
Ethan skipped some more and that was the end of the video. There it was in front of him a bunch of people biting each other, Although he had been through many dangerous missions. The scene still gave him goose bumps. Thinking about something his handsome face became a lot tense. If there are no infected people in the hospital that means all of them escaped outside the hospital and the rate in which the infection sped, If they do not take any precautions as soon as possible this will end up as a disaster. He took out his phone and dialed a number. It rang for sometime and finally other side connected,
“Yes Ethan, did you look in to it. what seems to be the problem there “a heavy voice came from the other side of the phone.
Ethan straightened his posture and reported what he saw to the other side,
There was a long sigh at the other side, He could feel that the other side was also in shock.
After some time, the rough voice sounded through the phone
“Ethan come back immediately, we have to discuss this and come out with a possible solution and you be safe out there " the other side hung up after relaying some more orders.
He hung up the phone and sighed looking at video clip once more. The situation of the country was going to change. There was a disaster looming on the horizon and he was going to be in the forefront of it.
