Chapter 4 - Red Hand
After some major encouragement from himself, Gabriel returned to the hallway. Slowly approaching the door where he had seen Huggy's arm, he quietly pushed it open and peeked inside. His phone's flashlight illuminated the dark hallway. At the end was yet another door. Above was a painted image of Huggy Wuggy wearing a construction worker's hat.
"Okay... where is Huggy?" Gabriel wondered aloud. His flashlight searched every nook and cranny in the dark hallway. But there was just no sign of the giant toy anywhere. It's like he disappeared into thin air. That was unsettling to say the least. Gabriel's eyes turned to the door at the end of the hall. There was only one way out and it was through there.
"And this is why I don't watch horror movies," Gabriel grumbled under his breath. With an exasperated sigh, he started walking down the dark hallway despite his better judgment. Speaking of horror movies, he knew very well that the audience would be screaming at him right now if he was in one. Reaching the end of the hallway, the middle aged man pushed the door open.
It was a construction zone, figures. Machines stood guard, waiting to be used again. The floor was littered with tools and boxes. Up above was a crane hovering over a red hand. Realizing it was the right hand needed for the Grabpack, Gabriel knew he had to get it immediately. But how? Searching the room, his eyes spotted a control panel up on the catwalks above. Making a beeline for it, he prayed it would still work before flipping the switch.
The air swiftly filled with the sounds of machinery. It was like music to Gabriel's ears. The middle aged man couldn't help but let out a whoop of victory. In the meantime, the crane shuddered to life. Snatching the red hand beneath it, the machine slowly crawled along the ceiling track, getting closer and closer to the control panel. Before it could make it though, it shuddered again and died, dropping its package to the floor below. Well, better than nothing. Gabriel ran down to grab the new upgrade to his Grabpack.
He never once noticed the smiling face of sharp teeth watching him from the shadows...
