His Heaven, Our Hell Part 5

Emma ran as fast as she could, her bare feet beating the dirt. At last she saw a large white building. Marble stairs lead up to a tall gold door which was framed by two grecian columns. The roof was triangular like a roman temple and "museum" was carved into it just above the entrance.
Emma snuck between the trees to a small bush in front of the building. There was no one in sight so she darted up the stairs and creeked open the large golden door. Gently pulling it closed behind her, she noted the high ceiling and white walls. The museum was sparse but there were a few paintings and artifacts. At the end of the main hallway was Picasso's Guernica.
Coming to the end of the hall, Emma paused and raised an eyebrow as she looked up at it. She turned left and right to see if there was anyone else down the halls. Suddenly she heard the echos of feet and voices coming from the left. She ducked out of sight behind a large red statue of the letter H A on top of T and E - the A on a rightward slant.
A group of people began to pass through on tour. Emma spotted Elliot walking curiously in the back of the group. They paused at the Picasso. Emma smiled to herself and jumped up, stepping along side of Elliot. He glanced at her and did a double take.
"Shhhh..." sounded Emma, who kissed him strongly.
"What happened?" She whispered.
"What happened to you?" Elliot asked, brushing his hand along her tattered cheek.
The group began to walk again.
"Come on," said Elliot, pulling Emma back behind the statue. They were both silent and the tour went on without them.
"They gave everyone a little orange pack," said Elliot, pulling a neon case from his back. "Then everyone was sent through this thing like a metal detector, but a light flashed when each person went through. They said it activated them.They said it was a health pack." Elliot flipped it open.
"A health pack?" said Emma.
A green glow came from the pack and there was a clear button to press on the gray metal box which was inside. Along side of the button were six squares that lit up with green.
"The button gives you more health," said Elliot. "They said that this makes us immortal."
Suddenly the golden door slammed. Emma jumped and both Emma and Elliot peeked out from behind the statue. A man stood at the end of the hallway and Emma recognized him as the man with the dogs.
"I have a feeling we're going to need it," Emma whispered.

    Oh nice. And there I was thinking (When I read pt 1) that I knew where this was going to go.

    Curiouser and curiouser. You've gotten me hooked. (:
