Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In a flashback, Brooke and Shane wake to the sound of someone screaming Brooke’s name. They step into the hallway and find Tim and Kayla emerging from another room down the hall. The front door is open; Chelsea is yelling from the front porch. The boys run down the stairs, quickly followed by Brooke and Kayla. Outside, Brooke sees Brandon on the porch with blood on his chest and mouth. Tim checks Brandon for a pulse but can’t find one.
The group retreats into the house, where Kayla checks her phone but still has no reception. She grabs the landline, only to find it dead. Shane explains that storms sometimes take out the phone lines. Kayla and Chelsea insist on finding a way to reach the police, but their plan is derailed when they discover that the tires on both their cars have been slashed. Kayla panics, accusing Shane and Tim of being murderers. She runs away but slips and falls in the mud. Tim gathers her up and takes her back to the house, where Kayla insists on locking herself in a bedroom.
