"Who'd you call?", Sidney asked Billy as they were both putting back on their clothes from the strenuous activity they'd just completed.

"What?", Billy looked up from where he had just finished zipping up his jeans in question at the girls question.

"Um, we'll, I don't know, when you're arrested you're allowed one phone call, so I was just curious. Who'd you call?", Sidney didn't look at him as she now tied her laces, saying it with a nervous laugh at the end.

"Called my dad", Billy told her like it was an obvious answer as he also put his shoes on and started tying his laces.

"No, um, Sheriff Burke called your dad", Sidney turned to him confused. "I saw him."

"Yeah...", Billy trailed off sadly, "When I called, I didn't get an answer."

"Huh", was all Sidney could say, Billy hadn't been lying he did try call his dad and when he didn't answer he asked if he could try call his sister but Sheriff Burke said no.

Looking up at her back skeptically Billy watched her for a second before he spoke, "You don't still think it was me, do ya?"

"No", Sidney turned to face him with a smile as she sat criss crossed on the bed, looking down to him where he sat on the floor. "No. I was just thinking, if it were you, it'd be a very clever way to throw me off track. You know, using your one phone call to call me, so that I wouldn't think it was you, is all."

Sidney chuckled nervously again at the end of her sentence as Billy seemed to be staring right through her like she had ten heads.

"Really?", Billy looked at her in disbelief, pushing himself off the floor to stand up.

Leaning his hands on the bed so that he was able to lean over and maintain fierce eye contact with Sidney. "What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm not a killer?", he asked her.

"Oh, my God", Sidney let out as she noticed ghostface lurking behind Billy as they came in the door.

"Huh?", Billy asked her confused.

"Oh, my God", she cried out again, pushing herself off the bed backwards.

"Sidney-"

"Billy, watch out!", she screamed to him as the ghostface raised their knife, Billy turning as they stabbed it down.

Sidney let out a shrieking scream as Billy groaned bending over a bit as ghostface went and jabbed him again.

As they took another slice at Billy he turned to face Sidney, blood pouring all down his chest.

"Sid", he mumbled, stumbling forward as he held his hand out to the petrified girl, falling down forward in front of her.

Looking back up as her body racked with sobs she saw ghostface being up the knife and drag their gloves hand down the knife cleaning it.

It was a quick reaction as they ran forward and Sidney leaped over the bed and out the door, closing it on the killer and twisting the lock.

Running down the long hallways and turning around a few corners she ran down the first set of stairs, but getting stopped as ghostface prompted her to turn around, standing in her way.

Running back the way she came darting past the door to the room which held Billys body in it, Sidney didn't seem to notice that it was still locked or the fact that there was still banging coming from the person locked in it.

Hearing ghostface chasing after her she slammed a door back in their face, the pressure throwing them onto their back, unknowingly knocking ghostface out.

Quickly going into another room she slammed the door closed and locked it before the killer could get back up, propping a surf board up for safe measure to give her more time.

The banging on the door started again as she looked for an escape, but not finding anymore doors in the room.

"Shit!", she panicked, taking her fingers into her hair.

Trying to think fast she ran down a small corridor and started to try pry the window up as she looked out to see Gales news van outside.

"Help me, somebody! Help me!", she banged on the window, still trying to open it.

The door burst open as ghostface pried it open with their knife, the only thing keeping them from opening it fully was the surf board.

The ghostface stood back for a second and started to slide their body through the small crack in the door, seeming to be small enough to do so.

Going over to one of the other windows in the room Sidney tried pushing it up, this one sliding up much easier than the last.

Sticking a leg out she pulled her body through the window and just as she went to get the other one out she slipped, using both hands to grab onto the window sill.

"Help me!", she yelled out again to the empty street, ghostface popping their head out the window and grabbing ahold of her arm. "No!"

Ghostface was trying to pull her back in, but Sidney wasn't giving up with out a fight as she continued to pull back against them.

Slipping from their grasp Sidney went flying back off the roof, luckily for her she landed on the tarp covering the boat equipment by the garage.

Rolling over she fell off the tarp, landing on the ground with a thud as she tried to catch her breath.

Getting back on her feet she looked up to the window to see ghostface was no longer there, probably already making their way down to her.

Breathing heavily she began looking down until her eyes paused on the scene before her, her heart tearing even more at another death.

First Billy, and now as she looked upon Tatums body dangling from the garage door, body stuck in the cat door, she had to put her hand to her mouth so she wouldn't scream.

Backing up and turning away from the scene quickly, not being able to look at it much longer.
