Jackson let out an annoyed groan as the landline in the house began to ring loudly. He peeled one eye open and saw that the sun was still in the process of coming up, so he shoved a pillow over his head to drown out the sound and go back to sleep.

But three seconds after the ringing ended, it began again.

"SOMEONE GET THE FUCKING PHONE!" Sophia shouted tiredly from her room across the hall.

But no one else began shouting and complaining, leading Jackson to think he and his sister were the only two at home. So, with a tired little whimper, he rolled out of bed and stumbled to the hallway, wishing there was a phone in each room for ease of access. By the time he made it, it was already ringing for the third time.

"GET THE GODDAM—"

"I'm fucking getting it!" Jackson snapped at his sister, just as grumpy over the noise as she was. He leaned his forehead against the wall and shut his eyes while answering the call. "If this is the killer, I'm gonna need you to call back after lunchtime. It's not a convenient time."

"Jackson, it's Dewey," he greeted, his voice sounding soft. "Something happened."

Jackson rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up a bit more. "What? What happened?"

"Can you get your sister for me?"

Despite his confusion, Jackson sat the phone down and trudged into Sophia's room. She whined when he dragged her out of bed but quieted down once he said Dewey needed them both. Both siblings leaned against the wall sleepily and put it on speakerphone.

"We're both here," Jackson mumbled, yawning at the end.

"The killer, he attacked at Jennifer's," he told them. And then the siblings woke right up.

"Holy shit," Sophia said. "I told you guys not to go to that! Are you okay? Where are you?"

"I'm - I'm fine. I'm at the police station right now. Indiana is giving her statement, but she's okay."

"What happened?" Jackson demanded again. He didn't like how Dewey only mentioned himself and Indy.

"Um, Stone was killed first. Then... the house blew up. Tom was inside."
