Jill stared blankly at the broken dishes on the floor. Now what would she do? She couldn't just take off to Cuba with Carlos. Could she?
NO.
She wouldn't, couldn't do that to her friends, to Chris.
So what should she do?
*Just act like nothing happened.*
She wouldn't go to Cuba. She'd stay here with Chris. She'd act like nothing happened. That way she could stay with Chris. If she told Chris about all this, no way he'd still want to be with her.
Next time she talked to Carlos, she'd tell him no. She would stay here.
Simple as that.
*But what about Rebecca?*
Jill sighed. She'd have to talk to Becky later.

Barry carelessly scrolled through the pages of the internet. It looked like Umbrella was being pretty quiet.
They probably didn't want to attract any attention to themselves and would wait several more months before trying anything.
He haphazardly typed in a new search: 'Cannibal Murders'.
He yawned and took a sip of his coffee as he waited for the results to come up.
The results eventually came up and he clicked on a news article. He quickly scanned it until he came across the words 'Umbrella Corporation'.
He stared at the screen for several moments, making sure he was reading it correctly.
1 'Dwin, Utah—Police are now investigating the deaths of two teenagers found just two miles from a local Umbrella Corporation facility.
2 "I saw what looked to be human bite marks on both victims' arms and legs. It seemed obvious that someone or something had tried to eat them," said Dr. Sara Roget, who found the bodies Monday morning.
3 The autopsy revealed that both victims were bitten and partially eaten, supposedly by human jaws.
4 No one has been blamed for the incident as of yet.
5 But Umbrella Corporation has volunteered to help find out who is behind the murders.
6 "It's scary when murders like this take place so close to home," says Umbrella spokesperson, Gene Deo, "Our facility employs over thirty percent of the people in this town and we want to do our part to make sure everyone here is safe..."
Barry stopped reading, grabbed his cell phone and called Chris.

Jill sighed and grabbed the phone, "Hello."
"Hi, Jill. It's Chris."
"Hi Chris," Jill smiled, "What's up?"
"Can you meet me at my house in twenty minutes?"
"Yeah. Why? What's up?" Jill didn't like the tone of his voice.
"We need to talk. See you then." Chris hung up.
Jill hung up the phone. What could he possibly want to talk about?
Jill froze.
He hadn't spoken to Becky yet, had he?
She frantically called Becky's home phone number.
No answer.
Jill hung her head in defeat and went to get dressed.
