1 It Begins

It was another bright and sunny day in San Diego. Odd yet due to the chilly winds in a mid summer night.

Damien was your typical security guard at the tender age of a young adult. Typical in the sense that he did what most security guards did which was observe and report. Not like the stereotypical idea of a fat and lazy security guard.

He had walked and patrolled these hallways, stairs, walkways, and buildings for the past 3 years of his life. Seeing the same scenery and most of the same people. This same old apartment has indeed gotten old to him.

This apartment where he worked at was located in the northern suburbs of San Diego and right across the street from a private catholic college. Thus most of his nights consisted of shutting down parties from young tenants who disregarded the rules or just did not know the rules or so they say. However, today in particular, he did not have to deal with such an occasion due to the lack of students still staying in these apartments because of the students leaving and or going home for the summer vacation.

Today was suppose to be just like any normal night where he did his job of patrolling throughout the property. Except right now he found himself waking up after falling down the stairs on the way down from the 4th level of the building. From what he can recall he is currently located on the biggest building complex of the property positioned in the south aside from the 1 medium building complex in the west, and two small building complex in the north and east. After checking himself for any possible damages to his body. And finding out that he was not hurt. Damien began looking for his radio so that he could notify his one other coworker of what had happened since he noticed that he had been unconscious for an hour and he was supposed to report on the radio every 30 minutes as a procedure for graveyard shift. To make sure none of the guards fall asleep during their shift.

"Damien to base, do you copy over." Damien calls in the radio.

He waits for 5 minutes for a reply but there was no answer. "Jack must be busy at front." Jack was the only other security guard on site that works with Damien. One person must always stay inside the security booth where the cameras and access to the underground parking lot was located.

When Damien was about to radio his coworker again that was when he heard a cry for help. The sound he heard was from a female on the 3rd level of the building he was currently in. Hearing the cry for help Damien rushes to open the door leading to the 3rd level hallway. What he saw in the hallway both shocked and disturbed him.
