"He's leaving..." Nick furrows his eyebrows as he hears a truck engine start and a truck pulling away.

"Why?" Kylie asks as they all walk upstairs.

"I don't know... stay here." He told the girls as he walked around the corner.

"You okay?" Kylie asked Carly.

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess so."

"That was a really dumb question. I'm sorry. I suck at comforting people."

"It's okay." Carly laughs softly.

"All right. Car's by the road-" Nick started.

"Daltons got the keys." Kylie cut him off.

"Damnit." He sighed tiredly. "We gotta call the cops." He rushed towards the phone sitting on the wall near the front counter.

He held the phone up to his ear. quickly realizing it wasn't working, he chucked it at the the wall.

"Hey, where's your cellphone?" Nick leaned down to Carlys height.

"It might be in the truck up near the house." She shrugs, sighing frustratedly.

"What about yours?" Nick turned to his girlfriend.

"Uh..." she patted herself down. "I think I left it at the camp sight. Shit." She groaned. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, baby." He rubbed her shoulder. "We'll go see if Carlys is in the truck."

"What about Wade? I think he has him too. What if he turns him to wax?" Carly rambles.

"Wax?" Kylie questioned confusedly.

"Yes, wax." Carly raised her voice slightly. "You don't get it! They're all wax! Everyone." She explains.

"Carly-" Nick starts before quickly getting cut off.

"No, wait." She looked at them in realization.

"There was a woman in here." Carly told them as they walked towards a house in the middle of the small town. "She was alive. She pulled the curtain back!"

Nick jumped over the small fence, walking up to the window quietly.

He jumped back quickly as an elderly woman pulled the curtain back.

"What the hell?" Kylies face scrunched up in confusion.

"The whole town in rigged." Carly bites her lip as she turns away from the window.

"That's impossible." Nick shakes his head as the woman opens the curtain again.

"You're saying that's a real person underneath?" He stared at the wax woman as he asked Carly.
