Your heart sank. It was about 2:30 in the morning. Who could it possibly be? If you opened the door, they would surely see the blood and bleach all over the floor.
They knocked on the door again as the other three walked inside.
"Who's that?" Neil asked.
"I don't know." you replied.
Sal looked through the window. "It's just Timothy." He said with a small sigh of relief. He opened the door, and Timothy walked inside.
"Ok, so basically," he began. "You guys need to leave. Well, besides you Neil. I think you're fine staying, the cult isn't really concerned with you. But you three and Larry all need to leave."
"Where are we supposed to go?" Travis asked.
"I don't know, maybe west? Just far away." Timothy replied. He never really seemed to know exactly where they should go when they were in danger.
"What are we supposed to tell our parents?" You asked.
"Either don't tell them anything at all, or be really really vague." Timothy said.
After a moment, Timothy said, "Ok, if you guys don't have anymore questions I'm gonna leave, so..."
You said, "Wait, I have a question. James, one of the people that you worked with to disassemble the cult, was his last name L/N?"
"Yes." Timothy said. "I'm guessing you are Y/N then?"
"Yes." You replied.
"Your father was an honorable man."
"Thank you."

"Thank you for everything Neil, you have been the biggest help in the world." You said to Neil as the four of you were leaving. It was very early in the morning, and you wanted to leave before anybody could see you.
"Yeah Neil, you really have been the best." Travis added.
"No problem guys, just helping out some friends. Make sure you guys are safe, don't hitch a ride with old pervs or anything." Neil replied.
"We'll be safe, we promise." You said, giving Neil a hug goodbye.
And thus, the four of you were on your way. You were scared of the unknowns that lied ahead, but glad that you at least had your closest friends with you.
