Run for it

No way. You were lucky to get away even this much, so going back in there? You have to go while the going is good. You don’t know anything. Maybe this is… maybe there’s more than one girl in there with a knife. Maybe the officers are all psychopaths. Going back into the house would be insane when someone just tried to kill you.

The run to town? You can do that, even in the dark. The embarrassment of being naked? You can recover from embarrassment. You can’t recover from a slit throat.

You turn and sprint across the lawn and onto the driveway, going full speed through the rain. You have a car, but you know the road is flooded down at the bottom of the hill. You have to go on foot, and maybe even swim. It’ll be cold, but it’s not like… winter cold. You won’t die of hypothermia. This will be miserable and it will take forever… but you’ll be alive.

Unfortunately, you won’t get to town in time to do anyone in CCL house any good if there is a killer on the loose.

The other girls are completely unaware.

The night swallows you up as you clear the front yard and run along the pavement, your bare feet slapping the ground. Thunder rumbles, but you just run harder, trying not to think about Delilah… she’s still in that basement with the killer.

Next Girl is Delilah
