Dr. Horn needed to think of plan. While driving away was step one, finding safety should be step two. "Think Christian! Where on earth is safe from a giant woman with a vendetta?!"
He briefly thought about asking nurse Tuesday but the woman had gone completely silent and was just staring out at nothing. She was emotionally drained and wouldn't be much help.
"Women!" He thought bitterly. He knew it wasn't fair to dump his frustrations on her but at the moment he didn't care. "Just what the hell am I supposed to do? Call her freaking husband?"
That's when it all clicked. Her husband. Maybe Steve could calm her down and help him out. He'd spoken to the man before countless times and Debbie always seemed at ease in his presence.
"Thank God I have a photographic memory." He grabbed his phone and began punching numbers into it. It started to ring. "Pick up, damn it! You might just be my only hope here!"
Relief soon flooded through him when he heard the man's voice on the other end of the line.

Steve listened as Dr. Horn explained the whole situation. Debbie and Erica had come to the hospital and was laying waste to the place most likely looking for him and key members of staff. Needless to say, the professor already knew as he and his family were hold up at a hotel watching the news.
It was still shocking to hear though. "And what do you expect me to do?"
"Talk to her! Call here off!" The frightened doctor snapped into the phone.
Steve knew why his wife was attacking and had seen how the hospital had distanced itself from her. While he understood why that still didn't make it right. But at the same time this whole new disaster was his fault and he couldn't just leave the man out to dry.
"Come to the motel down Susan Murphy highway and make sure you're not followed. If you can make it over here without the giants on your back then we can talk." Steve sighed.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Dr. Horn spoke quickly.
The man hung up.

Dr. Horn actually pumped his fist in celebration as he weaved in and out of traffic and cut more than a few fellow motorists off. He didn't care that they were honking their horns or shouting curses his way. He finally had an actual fucking plan.
"You hear that, Tuesday! If we can make it to the hotel on Susan Murphy Highway then we'll be safe." He smiled.
The woman didn't respond. She was lost inside her own head. Dr Horn didn't care and gave the near catatonic woman a small hug before focusing back on the road. All he had to do was get there and not be followed by the beasts. He could do that, right?
He pat his dashboard lovingly. "Just hold together baby. We're not too far off."
For the first time since the chaos started, Dr. Christian Horn allowed himself to hope.
