"Frank, it's Chloe and Max, please open the door we need to talk to you."
"What the fuck are those two doing here?! Hide quickly." says Frank whispering
*Frank opens the door* "What are you doing here?"
"Who were you talking to in the camper?" asks Chloe
"I was talking to NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Also, you shouldn't answer a question with another question."
"Frank, we need to ask you some questions, and also talk to you about something pretty important." says Max
"Now Holmes and Watson have improvised detective? If you want me to be your guinea pig, you got the wrong guy, plus I'm still waiting for my money."
"Now there's something far more important than your crappy money, and it's about Rachel," says Chloe.
"What did you find out about Rachel?
"Frank, Rachel was with us two hours ago, and she behaved in a very unusual way compared to how Chloe described her. She treated me badly about me disappearing from Chloe's life, while she said Chloe didn't give a shit about her after I got back, pushing her away. We believe she was manipulated by someone, and we need your help to figure out what's going on."
"Are you telling me she came to you first?!
"What do you mean "first"?"
Then Rachel comes out of the trailer
"That's what he means Max."
Chloe at that moment is more enraged than ever, and enters the camper
"What the fuck are you doing in Frank's trailer? Then it's true you're banging him!"
"What do you both want from me? It didn't occur to you that I don't want anything to do with you two."
"Okay, let's all calm down, so Pompidou doesn't freak out and neither do I."
"No, I don't calm down. She accuses me of betraying her friendship when she did the same by hiding everything from me."
"Why do you think I did that?"
*Max interrupts both* "STOP! You're playing into the hands of people who want to see us play each other, so I'm begging you to calm down and let's end this exchange of accusations.
"Okay Max, I'll try to calm down," says Chloe
"Look, Rachel, you have no idea how much I felt guilty about leaving Chloe and not being heard from after what happened to her father, and I really appreciate you supporting her when I wasn't around. I don't want her to be my best friend because I fully understand that you can't stand me for what I did, but I also don't want you to be able to turn on Chloe because of me, because she more than anyone who's spent body and soul searching and hugging you after so long. Believe me, I'm not lying to you, and I want you to help us figure out who manipulated you by telling you things against us."
Rachel gives in at this point.
"I'm really sorry, I don't know what's gotten into me and I'm really angry at how I've treated you, those words were ringing so loud in me that I really didn't think I meant anything to Chloe anymore."
"You don't even have to think that by accident, if I'm here it's because you matter to me, I just want you to tell us the truth about what happened to you and why you disappeared."
"What I remember is that after the Vortex Club party I found myself in a place similar to a photo shoot, I was stunned but not quite and I remember seeing Nathan with another person taking pictures of me, then the void. The last thing I remember is waking up in the dump, and this creepy man saved my life."
"Rachel, that man who saved you is called Dio Brando?" asks Max
"Exactly, how do you know?"
"I had a rather scary encounter with him, I was afraid of losing my life, and by doing 2+2 it is obvious that he wants to have fun with us."
"I'm afraid this individual also has powers, because from the way he spoke, it seemed he had to hide before dawn, logically only vampires have to hide from the sun." Says Rachel
"Between the snowfall and the eclipse, I wouldn't be surprised if there was also a vampire in Arcadia Bay, just to complete the circle." Says Chloe
"Max, Chloe, listen up. I need to talk to Frank for a few minutes alone, then I'll meet you in the pickup and catch up."
Max and Chloe leave the trailer
"Why didn't you tell them about Jefferson, but only Nathan?"
"Because with Jefferson, it's a very personal matter, and I want to make him pay with interest without involving anyone. Just promise me you won't act rashly, and you'll stay away from this."
"I swear to you, I trust you and for anything, you know where to find me."
Rachel hugs Frank and fondles Pompidou before leaving and climbing into the pickup with Max and Chloe
