A girl jumps out and grabs her. It was Kristine Conner. She forces herself out of the trunk, tipping it over

Ash: Kristine?!

Kristine: Help me! You have to get me out of here!

Ash is in shock as Kristine forces her against a drawer, knocking everything down. Ethan turns the water off. They hear the sink turn off so Ash quickly grabs the drawer so nothing else falls. The drawer is still shaking. They're staring at each other. Ethan just stands there, listening. It's quiet until the hammer on the drawer falls and hits the ground. Ethan's eyes get wide as he quickly rushes out of the kitchen and starts heading for the door. They hear his footsteps

Ash: Oh shit

Ash sees a closet and gets ready to run but Kristine grabs her arm

Kristine: No don't leave

Ash: I promise I will help you, just don't let him know I'm here

Kristine nods and let's her go. Ash quickly hides inside the closet. There's a gap between the door to where she can see Kristine. Kristine sees a washer with a window above it so she runs and jumps on top of it. It's barricaded

Kristine: Shit

She starts tugging at it. Ethan's by the stairs, staring at her

Ethan: Kristine

She stops and looks at him

Ethan: What do you think you're doing?

She just stares at him, scared. Heakes a step forward but she quickly jumps off the washer and goes to the corner of the room. He takes another step

Ethan: Kristine...

Kristine: Stay the fuck away from me you psycho!

He smirks

Ethan: I have a guest upstairs and your making a lot of noise down here. Might have to take care of that problem

Kristine: Just let me go Greg

Ash *whispers* Greg?

Ethan: You know I can't take that chance

Kristine: HELP!!!

He runs over to her. She starts kicking and punching at him, still screaming

Ethan: Ow! Stop it!

He's able to wrap his arm around hers while covering her mouth. She continues to scream as he picks her up and takes her to the trunk. He sees that it's tipped over on the floor

Ethan: Damnit

Ash is watching everything in shock. Kristine struggles to get free. He lets go but grabs her head and slams it against a wall, knocking her out. He picks and sets the trunk back to where it was. He goes over to the drawer, opens the top one, and takes out tape. He goes over to Kristine and turns her around so she's lying on her stomach. He puts her hands behind her back and tapes them together, along with her legs as well
