Mel looks up at Nick and he takes her uninjured hand. He kisses her cheek, before pulling her down the road. They run to a fenced area with Nick peeking over every few seconds. He glances forward before stopping.

He smirks to himself. He glances back at her before pulling her toward a hunting store.

"Nick, what are you doing?" She whispers. "You gotta be careful."

"I am being careful." He smirks.

He runs to the door and tries to open it. It's locked so he moved to the window. He swings his arm back to throw the wrench when Mel catches his arm.

"No! It'll make too much noise." She whispers. "He will find us. We need to look for him."

"Yeah, chances are he will anyway. At least with this, he might not wanna find us."

As he finishes his sentence, he throws the wrench at the window, shattering it. Mel glances around, sighing before looking at him. Nick jumps up into the display window and takes the crossbow from the, hopefully, mannequin's arms.

"That's about right." Nick smirks and grabs the bolts from the holder.

He glances behind the mannequin to see a sign that reads 'World's Famous: Trudy's Town of Wax

He glances behind the mannequin to see a sign that reads 'World's Famous: Trudy's Town of Wax.' Suddenly, a gunshot goes off, breaking the front door window. Nick and Mel scream, ducking down. Bo is about 50 feet behind them, with a two barrel shotgun. Nick jumps down from the display, pushing Mel in the direction behind her.

"Go, Mel! Run." He yells.

Another gunshot is heard, bullets hitting the wall right behind Nick. He gently pushes Mel into the movie theater, causing all the lights to come on. She runs into one of the theater rooms with Nick running close behind her. The lights turn on and a movie starts playing. 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'.

They walk down the aisle slightly to see more wax bodies sitting all around. Mel glances up at Nick and he sighs. He quickly kisses her lips, and points to a chair, before running to an area. Mel quickly sits down in a chair, in the middle of the bodies.

A few minutes later, Bo walks in. He looks around and walks slowly down the aisle.

"I know you're in here." He says.

He glances around and continues to walk before turning around. He looks at all the bodies. He hears a noise and quickly brings up his shotgun, before putting it down, realizing it's from the soundtrack they have playing. He does it again a few seconds later when he hears the notice again. He puts the gun down and looks around.

He glances to his right and brings the gun up. He moves one of the bodies making sure it's not Mel. It moves to reveal it's just a wax body. He turns around and continues walking down the aisle again. He reaches the bottom and looks back at all the bodies. A familiar one catches his eye. Mel...He raises his gun toward her.
