[Pinball Pizza]

The girls and I are sitting at Pinball Pizza so Mouse can explain what the fuck happened, "Bloody Rose is real. I saw her. She stalked me in this fucked up game of hide and seek" She explains

"Okay, so, either Rose Waters is alive in Millwood fucking with us. Or—" Noa starts
"Or she's dead, and it's some crazy person dressed like Rose fucking with us" Tabby finishes her thought

"Either way, it sounds like she's a skinny old bitch. So, let her come for me and I'll kick her ass" Faran says

We give her a look, "When I got to Rose E. Ricotta's there was a demented note. This is your birthday test. A final girl must escape any death trap. You hide. I seek" Mouse says

"Technically speaking, we're all final girls" Tabby says
"Which means one of us could be next" Imogen says
"This is so fucked up" I say

"What are we supposed to do?" Noa asks

"I say we make a pact. No one answers the phone" Imogen says
"Uh-uh. I'm in the best shape of my damn life. I'll take this bitch down myself" Faran says

"Calm down, Million Dollar Baby" Tabby tells her

"I think I already know the answer to this. But...Dr. Sullivan. I mean, it's late, but should we try her?" Imogen asks

"If ever there was an emergency" Tabby quotes her

"Okay" Imogen pulls out her phone, "Voicemail. Hi. This message is for Dr. Sullivan. . it's Imogen and the girls. We were wondering if we could schedule an emergency session, like, ASAP. So, if you could just give us a call back and let us know. Please?" Imogen says before hanging up the phone

[Sunday - June 8th]

We all gathered at the Haworthe's, unpacking some groceries, "So, I went down a crazy rabbit hole last night, and what if our summoning worked? My grandma said that she talked to Rose, the night of my birthday, and that Rose was a ghost" Mouse says
"Uh-uh. Nope. I can't even. No ghost shit, please" Faran says

Then Imogen's phone starts to ring, "Don't answer" Tabby says

Imogen sighs, "It's Dr. Sullivan's office" Imogen answers is and puts in on speaker, "Hello" Imogen says

"Hi, Ms. Adams. I'm calling from Dr. Sullivan's office. So, we got your message, but Dr. Sullivan had a minor accident and is recovering" The secretary says
"Where? At the hospital?" Imogen asks

"I'm not at liberty to say, but I'll be in touch to reschedule shortly" She says before hanging up

"Holy shit!" Noa says
"It can't be a coincidence" Imogen says

"Or can it?" Tabby asks

"Mere hours after Mouse gets attacked by a homicidal maniac, we left word for Sullivan, and then she got into an accident. No, not suspicious at all" Faran says
"Last year, A threatened to kill us if we told anyone. This person's not messing around" I say

"As we learned last year, we need to keep our heads down and our mouths shut" Noa says

"Okay. But what do we do about Dr. Sullivan? If someone hurt her on purpose—" Tabby starts

"I'll track her down, find out the tea and report it back" Imogen says

[The Creamery - Night]
Imogen sent out a text so we're all at sitting outside the creamery as she explains what she's found out, Confirmed it wasn't a freak accident. Someone pushed Dr. Sullivan down flight of stairs" Imogen says

"Bloody Rose?" Faran asks

"Sullivan didn't see the person. Claimed it could have been an ex-patient" Imogen says
