Tara, Sam and Addy made their way to the apartment building's lobby, and Addy sat beside Chad, who had arrived a few minutes ago with Mindy and Ethan, which was the furthest seat away from Sam. 

Danny came rushing into the lobby. "Hey. Hey. I got here as fast as I could."

They all looked at him skeptically, and Tara asked, "Did you?"

"I'm scared, you guys. I really don't wanna get hurt again. I almost lost Anika, if it weren't for Addy..." Mindy said quietly, her voice trailing off.

"Neither do I." Chad replied.

"I don't want you getting hurt again either." Mindy said, looking at him. Chad rested his head on his sister's shoulder, and Mindy grabbed his hand. Tara rested her head on Mindy's other shoulder, and the woman rested her head on top of Tara's.

Sam stared at them all, and her eyes landed on Addy, whose eyes were still red and the tear tracks were still visible on her face.

"So what do we do now?" Chad asked.

"Maybe he gets to win this time." Sam said. Addy looked at her girlfriend in disbelief.

"No. Ghostface hasn't won yet, and he won't start winning now." The blonde said defiantly.

"He won in 2014." Mindy pointed out. Addy shifted a little bit uncomfortably then.

"He wants to punish me." Sam said, standing up as everyone looked at her, "Me. So maybe I let him. I'll just give myself up. If this is what I have to do to keep you safe, it's worth it."

Addy stood up then, making her way over to Sam to take her hands. "No, darling, you're not letting him do that. Not on my watch."

"No, we're not doing that, Sam." Tara agreed, standing up, "You came back to Woodsboro to protect me. Every single day, you make the decision to protect me. None of us would even be alive if it weren't for you and Addy. You have to let us protect you this time. Same goes for you too, Addy."

Sam started shaking her head, whispering 'no', "Yes. We're a team, remember?" Tara told her.

"Actually," Mindy said, standing up behind her, "we're a family."

"Let's go! Fantastic Five! Come on!" Chad yelled, jumping up. He put his hand out, and Mindy and Tara placed their hand on top of his, and they looked at Sam and Addy expectantly, waiting for them to succumb to the looks that were thrown their way, which they eventually did, begrudgingly placing their hands in the middle.

Danny nodded, trying to be supportive, and placed his hand in the middle as well. "Fantastic what?"

"It's an us thing." Chad explained, and Danny removed his hand, chuckling.

"He's gonna keep coming after us." Sam said, breathing out shakily.

"Isn't there somewhere safe we can just hole up in?" Ethan asked, and Addy jumped, forgetting that he was here.

"No, he's gonna keep finding us." Tara said, and Ethan sighed, "We could use that, though."

She pulled out her phone and rang Bailey, and explained her idea to him.

"We want to lure him to a secure location and trap him inside." Tara explained. Addy had tried to fight her idea of calling him for help, seeing as she was still highly suspicious of the man, but Tara called him anyway.

"And then what?" Bailey asked.

"We execute him." Tara stated like it was obvious, which it was. There was silence on the other line, "Are you gonna help us?"

"Let's kill the son of a bitch." Bailey replied, "Now, I'm stuck here, but Gale gave us the keycards to the theater. It's got heavy surveillance and security cameras, but we can use that against him. I'll tell Kirby to meet you there. I'll join you as soon as I can." 

"Got it." Addy said. She had stayed beside Sam, but was still a little annoyed about their earlier argument.

"And remember, travel in public." Bailey reminded her, "The more people around you, the less chance he has to take a shot at you before you get there."

They all looked at each other warily, wondering if this was really the best idea.
