    I had decided to put Ash, Charlie and Violet's names on the phone list, at least for tonight in case something happened, and someone had to be called in an emergency. This whole thing is giving me a bad feeling and I don't want to lose contact until Adam shows up.

    One of the things I'm thankful for about this situation is that I'm not sleeping. Staying awake is what calms my nightmares and that's how I want to be tonight. Getting away from those memories when I close my eyes. I might have them when I'm awake, but it's completely different. At least he doesn't show up and burn everything in his path, which makes me feel a lot better about not seeing Jake scream in pain.
    If there's a hell, I hope I end up in it so I can hold him accountable for everything he did to us.

    Eric comes back sending a message to the group. But his words don't exactly give me good vibes.

Eric
Guys
We have to talk

Macie
Are you...
Are you ok?

Eric
Yes, I'm fine
Let's just wait for the others, Macie, I'll tell you later

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Clearly when one read those words, it means that things have not gone well.
    Charlie asks if it was Bucket and Eric says to wait for the others to get online.
    He insists that he forgot his badge in Adam's car again and it makes me cringe at what kind of police they have in Redlog Pines.

Macie
What do you mean AGAIN?!

Charlie
Is a long story 😶​
I'll tell you some other time

Macie
Great
This is getting better by the minute...

Charlie
Welcome to Redlog Pines 😅

-----Ash is now ONLINE-----

Charlie
Wait 😮​
Was it even worse?

Eric
I kept Vega

-----Violet is now ONLINE-----
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   <<Oh, no...>>

    A terrible thought runs through my head, why would Eric want to do this alone in the woods? Otherwise, why would it keep it to himself?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Macie
Why did you do it?

Eric
Because it was exactly as Charlie said

Ash
Really?

Charlie
Really? 🤨

Macie
Are you really surprised, considering you had little faith?

Charlie
Well, at least I could give a little benefit of the doubt

Eric
It was Bucket

Macie
Great...
What did he do?

Eric
He came, tool my statement and left

Macie
He didn't even look at anything around?
Or I don't know, he looked at the car at least?

Eric
No
He hasn't done any of that
