Unknown Person Part 2

Unknown Person Chapter 2

       His hospital gown swept away in the currents of the water the man now finds himself completely naked running aimlessly through a thick forest.  The morning sun in his face causes him to squint as he searches for anyone to help him or any structure where he can take refuge.  He finally comes upon a cabin with a truck parked outside.  The man runs over to the truck but it is empty.  He checks for keys but sees none.  He then runs to the cabin and looks inside the windows but sees nobody.  He tries the door and it’s unlocked.  He hesitates before opening the door.  He searches the cabin and finds a bedroom with art supplies strewn all over.  He rummages through a dresser and tries to put on a t-shirt he found but it’s clearly too small for him.  Behind him at the doorway Alanna, a middle aged petite woman, appears and drops the paint brush she is holding and screams.  The man whips around as Alanna runs away. 
       Alanna runs into the kitchen and grabs a butcher knife and her phone.  

The man runs in and yells, “Stop!”

Alanna extends the butcher knife and says, “Stay away from me!”

“I’m not gonna hurt you”, says the man.

“Oh yea.  Give me one good reason I shouldn’t call 911."

“Because people are after me."

“All the more reason to call buddy”, says Alanna who turns towards the phone.

“They’re trying to hurt me!  Please I need your help.   Please!”

Alanna looks into the man’s scared face.  “Who are you and what are you doing in my friends’ cabin?”, asks Alanna.

“I don’t know."

“That’s not a good answer”, says Alanna who turns back to the phone.

“It’s the truth”, says the man.  Alanna turns back to him and he continues, “I woke up in some demolished laboratory at some place in the woods.  I have no memories before that."

“That doesn’t sound like real life.  That sounds like the start to some summer blockbuster."

“I…I don’t know what to say to that but it’s what happenend to me.  Now the people at the lab are chasing me and I don’t know why or even who they are”, says the man.

“Can’t you at least put some clothes on?”

The man looks down at himself and says, “Sorry.  I woke up with only a hospital gown on but lost it when I went over the waterfall.”

“You went over a waterfall and survived?”

“I'm not sure how."

“You sure don’t know a lot of things."

“I’m trying to figure things out but right now I’m as confused as you are.  You have to believe me.  I came in here looking for clothes and a mode of transportation.”

“Alright I need to at least get you some clothes.  No offense but I can’t keep looking at this while we figure things out."  She walks away still holding the knife and adds, “Keeping the knife though just to be safe.”

“Understood”, says the man as he follows her.
