Synopsis/Details
Colette is home alone, except for Camille who is in the back room. A TV reporter mentions that two girls have been kidnapped and the killer has not been apprehended yet. Colette hears a sound outside, but when she looks she doesn’t see someone slip down the driveway to the back of the house. Her phone rings, scaring her, and she has a conversation with a man named Cole. She tells him she’s paranoid and to hurry home. A man knocks on the door, saying his car has died and he needs to use her phone. She doesn’t respond, frightened, not sure what to do, until he goes away. She hears a sound from the back of the house and, terrified, goes to check on Camille. Before she can open the door, Cole comes in from the front. She tells him she heard something and they go back to Camille’s room, open the door, and find a man attempting to rescue a tied-up and unconscious Camille. Cole knocks him out and Colette opines that they’re going to need more bleach to clean up the mess.
