Alex heard the announcement of the lock down and looked at Kirin and said, "Okay so the word is out..." he paused for a moment and his eyes grew wider as Alex said, "That means the police station has received a signal and..." 

Just then his cell phone began playing the theme from "Castle" which was his ringtone. Quickly Alex grabbed his phone and saw that Captain Dan Knight was calling. Alex answered, "Hi dad."

Dan asked, "What the hell is going on Alex?"

Alex heard his father strapping on his riot vest and replied, "I'm not sure to explain this dad."

Dan replied understandably worried, "Try son."

Alex told him about the man in the jump suit, the door being ripped off the hinges, but he left out the part about Kirin's mysterious cell-phone because he wasn't sure what it was and didn't tell him that the thing was chasing him and Kirin. Alex didn't want to worry his father anymore than he already was.

Dan took it all in and said, "This is way out there son. Are you sure..."

 Alex got to the front of the lab and found a lap-top on the side of the desk. It was hooked up to the Wi-Fi and Alex logged in and quickly uploaded the photos to his dad's e-mail. 

For a moment there was silence until Dan said in an almost whisper, "Whoa." Dan snapped back into reality and said with great worry in his voice, "You stay out of trouble. Don't you do anything stupid. I'm on my way. Understood?"

Alex replied, "Dad I know mom will be calling any second; tell mom I love her please and dad...." Alex took deep breath and said, "hurry. I love you."

Dan said noticeably upset, "Just stay where you are."

With that the line went dead. Alex told Kirin, "My dad's on his way with every available cop. Sounds like they were getting ready for a weekend in Iraq."

Alex ran over to the wall and grabbed a fire extinguisher and said, "Maybe it can screw with it's vision. If nothing else I might be able to club it upside the head."

Alex was not exactly what one would call religious. He attended Church with his family, and he would practice his faith in his own way. In this case though he was very quietly saying The Lord's Prayer while leaning against a wall and watching the door knowing it was only a matter of time.
