South Park: Bloodlines, Book 2: New Horizons, Old Shadows

Dawn of Vengeance, Part 2

The group sees the front door in front of them, the dark lodge looming ominously against the night sky. They pause, staring at the building, the silence weighing heavily on them.

(Tweek whispering, clutching his flashlight tightly)

Tweek: "W-Why is it so dark? Shouldn't someone be inside?"

(Stan steadying his voice, trying to sound reassuring)

Stan: "We have to go in. Wendy's in there... and she might need us."

With a nod of agreement, they move cautiously toward the lodge. Kyle pushes open the door, and they step inside, the stale air pressing in around them. The room is pitch black, silent except for the faint creak of the floor beneath their feet.

Lucas: "Where's the light switch?"

Emily reaches out in the dark, her hand finding the switch on the wall. She flips it on, and the lights flicker to life, illuminating the chilling scene before them.

Wendy and—shockingly—Officer Howard sit tied to chairs next to each other, their faces pale, mouths gagged, and eyes wide with terror. Relief and horror flood through the group simultaneously as they process the sight.

(Butters gasping, his voice shaking)

Butters: "O-Officer Howard?! He's here too?"

Kyle: "He... he came to check on us. But... they got him."

The relief of seeing Officer Howard is quickly overshadowed by the two figures standing behind the chairs—Red, who looms menacingly over Wendy, and Bebe, her face emotionless as she watches them, standing behind Officer Howard.

(Stan barely able to contain his shock and anger)

Stan: "Red... Bebe... what are you doing? Let them go."

Red: "Now, why would we do that? We finally have everyone right where we want them."

Wendy tries to shout something, struggling against her gag, her eyes pleading with them to leave, to save themselves. Officer Howard tenses, his gaze intense as he watches the group,

(Tweek his voice barely a whisper, eyes wide with fear)

Tweek: "This... this can't be happening. Why are you doing this?"

Bebe: "This is payback, plain and simple. You all thought Kenny was just a monster. You never even tried to understand him."

Emily: "So... you're doing this because of him? Because of Kenny?"

(Red's expression hardens, her voice filled with fury)

Red: "Kenny wasn't just a 'killer.' He was someone. He meant something to me. But you all—" her voice breaks momentarily, "you just left him to die."

Kyle: "He made his choice, Red. We all know what he did."

(Red her eyes flashing with anger, stepping closer)

Red: "Choices? You want to talk about choices? Well, now it's your turn to make one."

Stan: "What do you mean?" he says, glancing at Officer Howard.
