  FADE IN:

   

  INT. SHOWERS - EVENING

   

  The water starts running and steams rises up from the bottom of the shower.  She lets the water run down her hair and down her face, soaking in the rest of her slowly.  It’s a relax evening after a full day’s work, and a shower is just what she needs, you can see it on her face.

   

  CLANK, CLANK… a rattling of some kind came from just outside the showers.

   

  KATE

  Hello!  Anybody there?

   

  But no answer, as it is to be expected.  She pays no mind, the water is hot and it’s warming her skin from the cold of the evening.

   

  MAAAHHH… She hears a moan or a growl of some kind and she closes the faucet to make sure she’s not just hearing things.

   

  KATE

  Hello.  Anyone out there? Hey if this is a joke it’s not funny, you know?

   

  But nobody replies.  She grabs her towel and walks out the shower.  She scans the showers for people but no one is there.  She walks to the locker room area.

   

   

  INT. LOCKER ROOM – EVENING

   

  She pulls out her uniform out of her locker and gets dress as quickly as she can.

   

  CLANK… she hears the clanking again, this time closer than before.  She pulls out an M9 from her duffle, loads it and walks around the locker room.  Once again she finds herself alone.  She shoves the M9 back onto her small black duffle bag, grabs it and turns to leave but someone is now standing in front of her.

   

  KATE

  Jesus Christ, you scared the shit out of me!

   

  But the figure doesn’t reply.

   

   

  KATE

  Lilly, is that you?

   

  Lilly’s face was deformed and bloody.

   

  KATE

  My God, what happened to you?  Are you okay?  Do you need help?

   

  But as she tries to reach out for Lilly and help her, Lilly jumps at her, growling hysterically and grabbing her with unnatural force.  Kate falls on the ground, struggling to get Lilly off of her.  Her duffle bag falls wide open on the ground and the M9 slides out.

   

  She reaches out for it, one hand holding Lilly by the neck, the other one trying to reach out for the gun.  Lilly is strong but Kate is not weak either.  Kate finally kicks Lilly off of her and reaches out for the M9.  Lilly comes charging, Kate takes the safe off and fires two shots directly at her heart.

   

  Lilly falls to the ground!  Kate stares at her in wonder; she’s not breathing, she must be dead!  But Lilly gets up again.

   

  KATE

  What the fuck?

   

  Kate has been known to be an expert shooter.  And two bullets directly on the heart should’ve put Lilly down.  Lilly gets up and charges at Kate one more time.  Kate shoots at her head.  A bullet hole mark appears right in Lilly’s forehead, directly between her eyes.  Lilly collapses!

   

  Kate grabs her stuff fallen out of her duffle, shoves them back in there, closes the bag and runs out of the locker rooms.
