Meanwhile...

Unaware of where her boyfriend is at the moment, Courtney stared out her window, feeling concern for Duncan. Doesn't help that when she was attempting to call both him, and Noah, are not answering their phones. Now knowing that, Courtney was even more worried for her friend and her boyfriend. She just hoped that they were okay.

Sitting there in her house, her parents were off at work, while she was watching over the house. Trying to keep herself together, Courtney paced around the living room, while watching TV to herself. Sometimes, pacing just calms the girl down whenever intense situations like this happens to her. She walked from the window to the kitchen over and over, until she stopped herself near the couch. She felt like she did enough, before the sound of her phone going off was heard in the dining room. She had to see if it was Noah or Duncan.

She walked over to the table in her dining room, picking up her phone, seeing that it was Noah. She sighed in relief as she took the phone, and spoke to her friend on the phone.

"Oh, Noah...thank God, you're calling me right now." Courtney said, smiling. "How are you right now?"

"I'm actually heading off to the town hall right now, Courtney." Noah told his former crush. "What's going on? Are you in danger?"

"No, I'm actually pretty fine. I was just...worried about you and Duncan, and thought you guys were captured. Or worse..." Courtney cringes, thinking about that, before keeping herself from thinking that a bad thing is going to happen tonight. "...So, why exactly is Mayor Hatchet wanting Duncan over there anyway? It seems like Duncan is a lot more safer at your house."

"I was told by Topher to bring him down to the town hall because the mayor wants to talk to him."

"Topher?"

"Mayor Hatchets assistant. I guess he was a student at the college or something. He really doesn't seem all cool a guy, really."

"Rather harsh thing to say, Noah. But are you sure that Duncan will be safe over there at the town hall? All of this seems like it's a bad idea."

"Courtney. I usually listen to you, but I'm trusting Mayor Hatchet and Detective McLean with my life at this point." Courtney looks over to her backyard, walking up to the window. "I'm sure that they have a plan when it comes to keeping Duncan safe."

"I sure hope so."

Before Courtney could continue the phone call any further, she heard what sounded like something metal hitting the floor in her garage. The girl was confused by what the noise was. She turns back to the table, before ending the phone call.

"Noah, I think I'm going to end the call now." Courtney said. "I'll come by as soon as I can."

"Okay, Courtney." Noah said.

The call ended. The girl looked over to her downstairs hallway, before picking up a baseball bat that was leaning on the kitchen wall. She approaches the garage door, swinging the door open, and looking inside.

Inside the garage, there really wasn't anyone inside of it. Which Courtney felt like was going to be the case. She turned the light off, only to hear the sound of something else falling upstairs.

"Oh...come...on..." Courtney mutters, before storming over to the stairs, then headed up them.

Upstairs, Courtney walked over to the room that had the sound coming from it. She grabs a hold of the doorknob, swinging the door open. But inside, there was nobody as well. Courtney poked her head into the room, looking around, making sure that there was nobody in this room either.

She took a few steps inside, only to hear the door slam behind her. The girl turns around, eyes widened in fear, seeing one of the two figures have trapped her in this room. Courtney dropped the bat she was holding, nearly screaming, only for the figure to charge straight at her. Courtney ran straight for the window, only to be grabbed by the shoulder, then thrown to the ground. Courtney passed out from the fall.

The figure's plan was coming together quiet perfectly now. All they need to do now is to bring Courtney and Bridgette to the town hall so that the main plan can finally begin.


With Noah and Duncan...

The two boys finally arrived at the town hall, where it was finally about to rain. The two boys looked up at the sky, seeing the raindrops beginning to fall from the sky, and hitting the ground, and their own heads. Duncan held an arm over his eyes, looking up at the sky, before looking at Noah with a glare.

"Can we get inside before we end up getting wet from the rain?" Duncan asked. "The last thing I need is to get sick." Noah nods his head.

"Whatever, let's just go in." Noah said, rolling his eyes, as the two of them walked up the steps.

The two boys walked into the building, heading inside the town hall so that they can get all of this over with. Noah actually saw Chris's car parked outside of the town hall as well, so he already knew the detective was here already. So this is probably going to be some sort of argument that's going to be happening in here, or something else.

Inside the mayor's office, Noah saw everyone there. Mayor Hatchet, Topher, Chris, MacArthur, and Izzy all standing around talking to each other, unaware that Noah and Duncan are now both inside the office. It wasn't until Noah closes the door, alerting everyone to them being here. The five looked over to the two boys who came into the office, as Mayor Hatchet stood up from his desk.

"Noah, I see you finally have brought Duncan here for his own safety." Mayor Hatchet said.

"Well, yeah." Duncan said.

"I'm actually pretty grateful that you were bringing Duncan into this town hall for safety." Noah said. "At my house, he was doing nothing but hogging the couch to himself, and destroying the guest room that was upstairs for my house." Noah rolled his eyes when he said that. "The more he stayed, the more pissed my parents would end up being when they get back to town after their wedding anniversary in Ottawa. Not that they were happy when they left in the first place."

"Well, we're glad that you guys came." Topher said, stepping out from behind the desk with his hands behind his back. "Besides, I was the one who said 'yes' to the idea that Mayor Hatchet wanted Duncan safe here. Granted, he was a bit of a dick in the past...but it's better for him to be safe here than him being killed by that guy." Mayor Hatchet nods his head, before looking at Noah and Duncan again. "Anyways, the plan that Mayor Hatchet and Detective McLean have decided on was that Chris, MacArthur, and Izzy were to go out there to find this guy on their own. Mayor Hatchet..." Topher appeared confused by what he was going to do. "...Uh, Mayor Hatchet, what exactly is going to be your part of this plan? You never said anything to me about what you were going to do."

"My plan is to try to go to one of the stores, and find something that I can use to defend myself. Whatever weapon is in the stores nearby that could help out in this situation." Mayor Hatchet said, before Chris looks over to the mayor.

"Hold on there, Rambo. No need for us to lose the mayor of this town to a psycho." Chris said, holding up one hand in defense. "If anything, me, MacArthur, and Izzy will scout out this section of the town to try to find this guy ourselves. Mayor Hatchet, just for your own safety, I bet you should stay in the basement of this town hall or something."

"Actually. He should stay up here in his office. The killer probably would find himself...or herself in the basement. There is a window by the side of the place near the ground...so...that's pretty much a huge reason why none of us should really go down there." Topher said, finding the basement a bad idea. "Mayor Hatchet, it's only best to stay up here so you don't end up getting killed yourself. I'll go out of the town hall so that you don't end up getting yourself killed. I'll buy the bow and arrow, or sword, or...whatever that's in the store area nearby." Mayor Hatchet nods his head.

"If you really say so, Topher." Mayor Hatchet said. "I'll be safer up here than out there." Chris nods his head.

"That sounds like a more...profound idea." Chris said. "Alright. Me, MacArthur, and Izzy are off now. We'll be back if we survive out there."

"See you later guys." Izzy said, waving a hand, as she MacArthur, and Chris left the mayor's office. Once they left, Noah looks over to Topher, who was walking passed him.

"Are you sure you're going to be safe out there?" Noah asked him. "You don't appear to be as skillful a person who can survive something unlike...Gwen, or...I guess, me..."

"I'll be fine. Trust me." Topher said. "Besides, I'm fast on my feet. So I'll be able to make it to the stores and back within about...I believe five to ten minutes, hopefully. If I see somebody out there who's about to kill me, I'll make sure to hide in the stores before it's safe to come out." Topher pats Noah on the shoulder, before heading out the doors. "Trust me on this one, I got this." Noah nods his head, blinking a couple times, before stepping backwards, allowing the guy to leave. "I will see you guys in a couple moments. If you guys see something, hide somewhere that you can remain hidden in or behind."

"Alright. Be safe." Noah said.

"Yeah...whatever..." Duncan said, as Topher left. Topher glared at the punk, before heading off to the exit of the town hall. Noah, Duncan, and Mayor Hatchet remained behind as Topher left the town hall.
