Episode 4: Aftermath

Start from the beginning
                                    

"What are friends for? I need to get home."

I went home and I was relaxing when Noah called me and told me to come to his place. When I did, I saw him, Audrey, Riley, and Emma.

"I'm here. What's the problem?"

Emma shows us a yearbook with multiple faces cut out.

"Were these Brandon's victims?"

Riley: He stole their faces.

Emma: And scratched out my dad's. The only survivor.

Noah: I guess Tyler could have sent this, but it seems a little analog for a killer who's been using social media and cell cloning.

"He is taking Emma to the past while he is just messing with me about my past."

Audrey: Is this the message?

Riley: What does it say?

Emma: "The truth lies where the mask was made."

Noah: You know, the mask Brandon James wore was actually a surgical mask. Some say it was all that held his face together...

Riley: Noah.

Noah: Okay. Okay. Just... It was to protect his sutures from infection, post-op.

"So, who made it?"

Noah: I don't know. Brandon's surgeries were done at Lakewood General, out on the turnpike, but it closed down, like, six or seven years ago.

We all looked at each other and I shake my head.

"No. I've seen horror movies. THAT is how you die!"

Emma: We're not going there.

Noah: But it's a great lead!

"NOAH! You either choose life or death... I choose life."

Emma: It probably a trap.

"Exactly. If you're going there. Count me out. I already survived one encounter with him I don't wanna push my luck."

I walked out and went back home and I was in my room when I heard people talking.

Dad: Get out of our house!

I walked downstairs and I stopped as I see my grandpa and he was pointing a pistol at my parents.

Billy: Y/N.

Mom: Y/N, go back upstairs.

Billy: You sure about that, kiddo?

Mom: I ain't your daughter!

Billy: The killer is still out there.

Y/N: What do you want, grandpa.

Billy: I want you to come with me, so I can protect you.

Y/N: My family and the police are protecting me.

Billy: Yeah, and Sheriff Hudson is really doing a bang-up job. You're not safe, Y/N. Not in this house. So please, come with me.

Mom: We're not letting you walk out, Y/N.

Y/N: Do you have a better idea?

Billy: I won't hurt him. You have my word.

Dad: Your word's not worth shit.

Y/N: He won't dad. Trust me.

Dad: Trust you?

Y/N: Grandpa, won't lie about something like this.

Billy: Give me your car keys.

Dad does so and me and Billy walk out of the house and we drive off toward a forest.
