the next day, carter and the rest of the group were sat in tara's apartment.

"cute boy." quinn smiled, looking at the man from next door's apartment walking in. "nice."

as we all watched the television, the news came on.

"their names have been released by police. jason carvey and greg-" the new reporter spoke.

mindy looked at the screen. "holy shit, that's that chode from our film studies class."

elena put her focus on the television, "yeah, i don't think i really remember him."

"various ghostface costumes have the character popularized by the stab movie franchise-"

sam rushed over to the kitchen, yelling, "pack a bag, we leave in ten."

"what? sam..." tara quickly walked over to her.

"we're getting out of the city," sam continued, her expression serious.

the man from the apartment furrowed his brows, confused.

chad quickly ushered him out of the apartment. "thank you very much, suspicious new guy. but i think we got it from here." chad said, "have a good night and get home safe. go, go, go, go."

"hold on. no, wait. cause let's talk about this for a second. cause this— cause this might not have anything to do with us." tara tried to reason with sam.

"are you serious?" sam responded, sounding annoyed.

"it's a big city, it's halloween. everybody's wearing masks—" tara started to say.

sam interrupted her. "tara, tara. this isn't a coincidence. you knew him."

"barely." tara replied.

sam then looked to chad and mindy. "chad, mindy, elena... back me up."

chad spoke up. "i mean, it is a little bit."

mindy joined in. "close to..."

elena spoke the next words. "home..."

"see." sam replied, looking at tara.

tara then looked at quinn and said, "quinn, your dad's a cop, right? do you think you can call him and find out what's going on? before you make the unilateral decision to abandon my college education and flee the fucking state."

quinn nodded and said, "i'm calling him now."

while everyone waited, tara sighed and thanked quinn.

a sound suddenly rang on sam's phone. everyone panicked for a second, making tara ask, "who is it?"

"why did everyone just freak out when her phone rang?" carter questioned, looking around the room.

anika let out a sigh, "you gotta keep up, my dude."

elena glanced at carter, a slight look of annoyance in her eyes. though, she didn't say anything.

everyone waited eagerly as we listened to the phone call between sam, and quinn's dad since she handed her the phone.

hearing this conversation, elena looked at sam. "well, what did he say?!" she asked anxiously.

once the conversation ended, sam put her phone down and looked at us. "we need to go to the station." sam said as she headed to the door.
