<strong>Eric, Sandy, and Alana</strong><br/><br/>Sandy pushed open the door, which wasn't locked, with Eric, Rachel and Alana right behind her. Beyond lay another half-lit hospital room, with two beds. The nearest bed was empty, but a drawn curtain concealed the far bed. You can hear a rythmic sqeaking coming from it, and although you discount the idea at first, it sounds very much like someone having sex.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Jackson</strong><br/><br/>Jackson makes a grab for Desmond, the room crawling with jumping arcs of electricity. As Jackson moves into the power storm he is struck by several branches of lightning, his body seizing on him as he hits the floor, barely able to control his jittering muscles.<br/><br/>Distantly, he can hear Rene screaming from the doorway, unable to come any closer. He glimpsed Virginia standing beside her, equally helpless. Whenever Jackson tries to move, he's assaulted by fresh waves of electrical current. It's all he can do to just stay conscious.<br/><br/>Suddenly, it's all gone. The electricity disappears, and Desmond's body, without the support, collapses wetly to the middle of the floor.<br/><br/>Jackson struggles to sit up, heaving in gasps of breath, his body aching like he just ran a marathon. One glimpse at Desmond tells Jackson that the man is dead; his arms and legs are twisted, his face is smashed and bloody.<br/><br/>Rene ran into the room, took a good look at her husband, and screamed.
