He opens the door and the bath tub is overflowing everywhere. Don goes to turn off the bath and a boy pops out of the tub and grabs his arm.

The boy
You can run! death will find you. You cant escape death.

Don pulls away from the boy and the hair dryer goes off on the counter.

Don
No!

Don runs for the door and the hair dryer falls into the water just missing Don.

Don stands at the door starring at the room then grabs a coat off the coat hanger and runs out the door into the hall.

Mrs. Barton comes out her door and Don's just stepping into an elevator.

Mrs. Barton
Oh Don!

Don steps out of the elevator.

Don

The Elevator shuts and he misses it.

Don 
Great I missed the elevator. What do you want?

Mrs. Barton
