Police Station it is.

From Create Your Own Story

You grab a knife from the kitchen, summon all your courage, and unlock the door. With the girl following closely behind you, you step out into the hall. Quietly and carefully, you slip down the hall, and as you get near the corner, you can see the feet of the man you laid out earlier. You step around, raising the knife, and find that he hasn't move an inch.

Slowly, you lean in to check for a pulse, but Claire reaches out and grabs your hand. "No," she whispers. "Just leave him. There's nothing we can do either way." You nod, then carefully step over the body. You make your way along the hall, pausing only when you hear a thunder clap so loud it rattles the windows of the building. Or was it an explosion? You take a deep breath and keep pushing on.

When you round the corner to the stairs, you peer down over the banister and see two people lying on the floor in a pool of blood on the first floor landing. "Shit," you whisper, turning to Claire. She shrugs. You shrug. She shrugs again. Nothing to do but press on.

You make your way down the stairs until you're three steps from the floor. There, sprawled out on the landing, is a woman and a young boy. Both of them have been stabbed so many times that most of their flesh hangs from their bones in bloody ribbons. Claire looks away, covering her mouth with her arm. You try not to look as you step over the bodies into the blood pooling around them, and glance down the first floor hallway. Several doors stand open, but the place seems otherwise abandoned.

"What now?" Claire asks.
