(Minutes Later)
(On the highway)
(Tara slowly regains consciousness after the ghastly car crash)

Tara: (opening her eyes) Huhhh (she notices bl00d dripping down her nose then touches her forehead) I'm bleeding...

(A determined Tara ignores her serious injuries. She re-starts the car, enters back into the main road and speedily drives home)

(That night)
(Tara returns back to The Johnson's Residence, She slowly opens the front door and the first thing she sees when she walks in is Officer Hank... lying de@d on the floor, In his own pool of bl00d)

Tara: (she gasps in horror)

(She overhears someone's footsteps)

Tara: (she quietly searches Officer Hank for his gun) Oh sh!t! His gun, Where's his gun? Where's his gun? Uh, She must've taken it...

(Tara notices the small d@gger in Officer Hank's boots, She takes it out and arms herself with it then bravely heads upstairs)

(In the hallway)
(Tara walks in but doesn't see anyone, She tiptoes to her's and Mike's room & tries to open the door but it doesn't budge)

Tara: (fearfully) Mike???

(Tara then silently tiptoes to Billy and Rachel's rooms but she doesn't see them as well. She immediately takes out her phone)

Tara: Oh sh!t, The battery's de@d!

(Tara hurries downstairs and uses the landline to phone the police)

Tara: (quietly) Hello?

Voice: Hello. This is the EFPD, The Evergreen Falls Police Department... State your emergency!

Tara: (quietly) This is Tara Johnson, My address is No. 17, Oscar Street, By Faves Car wash. There's an intruder in my home, Her name is Katherine, She just kill€d a police officer, And my kids and husband are nowhere to be found!

Voice: Okay, Got it! We advise you, Stay calm, Don't do anything perilous. We're on our way!

Tara: Okay...

(As Tara drops the call, She overhears audible whimpers coming from the basement)

Tara: (t€rrified) Billy, Rachel...

(Tara speeds down to the basement. She then enters and is shocked to see Billy and Rachel all g@gged and tied up with ropes as well as an unconscious Joe. She rushes to them and immediately removes the cloth from both Billy & Rachel's mouths)

Billy & Rachel: (crying) Mommy...

Tara: (assuringly) Ssssshhhh! Don't panic okay? Mommy is here, Everything's fine. I'm gonna get you both out of here, Alright?

Billy & Rachel: (They both nod their heads)

Tara: (quietly) Where is she?

(Just then, Tara senses someone standing behind her... She quickly turns around but before she can take action, The person instantly drives a d@gger deep into her stomach)

Tara: (groaning in pain) Ahhhhhhhh!

Katherine: Welcome back...Tara!

(She viciously pulls the d@gger out of Tara and she collapses to the floor)

Tara: (holding her stomach tightly) Owww

Katherine: You're the one I've been patiently waiting for all night! (staring at Tara as she grimaces in agony) Awwnn, Does it hurt? (laughing hysterically) Ha! You have no idea how long I've waited for this magnificent day, I was almost beginning to think it would never arrive...
