Maya Hart checked the time as she drove down the empty road. Seeing that it was 11:21 pm she luckily still had about 25 minutes until she needed to be home. Making up her mind about stopping by the convenient store to grab a snack, then she'd be on her way home. As she reaches over the change the radio station a car comes flying by, turning the wheel out of the way, as to not get hit, Maya hears a loud pop as the car disappears in the distance.
Groaning, Maya gets out of the car to check the tire. Examining it she can tell it is definitely popped. Shaking her head she goes to the trunk to grab the extra tire while dialing her mom's number.
"I'm gonna be a little late. I got a flat." Maya says as soon as her mom picks up.
"Are you ok? Did you call the car company?" Katy asks setting down her knife she was using to cut up fruit.
"Relax mom, I can change a tire. I'm on Oak so as soon as I'm done this I'll be home." Maya tells her with a laugh.
"I'm coming there." Katy says.
"Mom your car has a flat remember? It'll be fine, you don't even know how to change a flat." Maya says to her.
At the current Hart residence as Katy walks into the dining room, a car pulls up into the driveway.
"Fine, I'll stay but I'm not happy about it." Katy says walking back into the kitchen.
"I'll be there soon mom." Maya tells her, wanting to start the tire as soon as possible.
"Ok, don't forget to grab… Maya?" Katy says as the line starts to get static noises.
"Mom?" Maya says but the phone call ends so she shrugs and puts her phone away.
Outside the Hart house, a man stands holding a box of matches. Strike one, the stove fire grows, strike two, the wall holding the cabinets is in flames. He pulls out a bottle of water and spills it on the ground as the sink starts shooting out water.
Katy is frantically trying to stop everything that is happening, strike three, the entire kitchen is blazing. Katy slips and falls. Opening her eyes she gasps out 'Maya!'.
She starts to crawl towards the back door but as soon as she goes up to reach the handle the man strikes a dozen matches and the stove explodes, killing her.
