Cindy and Eustace were walking down the hallway, unaware that they were being targeted by the killer. Cindy had no idea where they were going; she just hoped that she would meet up with Jimmy soon.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Erik were desperately running through the halls. Jimmy knew that Cindy was no match for the killer. And he wouldn't hesitate to killer her. "CINDY!" he shouted. Nobody answered. "Damn it!" he cursed under his breath.

"One sec, I gotta tie my shoe," Eustace told Cindy. He spun around and was about to kneel down when he saw the killer running at them. "Uh, Cind," he quietly whispered.

"What is it now?" she exasperatedly asked as she turned around. Her mouth dropped open as she saw the killer running right at her, knife in hand.

"Cindy!" Eustace shouted as he stood up and hit the killer in the face. The killer was surprised and staggered backwards. He quickly regained his composure and struggled with Eustace.

As Eustace tried his best to fend off the killer, Cindy was trying to open some nearby doors. She finally kicked one open. It led into a classroom.

"Duck!" Cindy shouted as she picked up her fairly heavy backpack. Eustace stopped fighting the murderer and ducked. The backpack slammed into the killer's face. As the killer fell to the ground Eustace ran into the classroom. Cindy followed him and closed the door shut.

"Cindy!" Jimmy shouted as he rounded a corner. In the distance he could see the killer trying to bust into a classroom. He and Erik picked up their pace and ran at him. Jimmy tightened his grip on his knife. The killer turned away from the door and looked at the two approaching kids. He reached into his robe and pulled something out. He tossed it at Jimmy and Erik.

"Look out!" Erik shouted as he jumped ahead and pushed Jimmy onto the ground and covered the kid's head. The pipe bomb the killer had thrown exploded several feet in front of them. They looked up and saw the killer running down the hallway and turning a corner.

Erik and Jimmy jumped to their feet and ran towards the classroom the killer had been trying to enter. Eustace and Cindy poked their heads out and glanced around. They ran outside when they saw Jimmy and Erik coming.

"Jimmy, thank goodness!" Cindy said as she ran into his arms and kissed him. Eustace and Erik smiled and wrapped their arms around each other.

"Ah!" they shouted when they realized what they were doing. They both moved a few feet away and started whistling innocently.

Eustace and Jimmy stared at each other. Cindy whispered into Jimmy's ear. "He fought the killer to save me, Jimmy. He nearly died for me."

Jimmy's expression softened a little. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck. "Look, Eustace. I guess I don't have any reason to suspect you. I'm sorry. For all of us, let's call a truce," Jimmy said as he stretched out his hand.

Eustace looked skeptically at Jimmy before outstretching his hand. They both shook. "A truce," Eustace repeated.

"For now," Jimmy reminded him. The phone suddenly began to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and flipped it open. "What do you want?"

Instead of the distorted voice that Jimmy was accustomed to hearing, Stephanie was on the other line. "Jimmy, thank god. He's got me. Please hur-," she started to say.

"Steph! Are you ok?" he shouted as he heard a struggle and Stephanie's muffled scream on the other end.

"Well, well, well," the killer said. "You're pretty good, Jimmy. Looks like you saved your little girlfriend again. Too bad you weren't quick enough to save the others."

Jimmy thought of Butch, Mike, and Jason. Damn it! "What have you done with Stephanie?"

The killer just laughed. "Nothing yet, James. But that can change. I suggest you get a move on-, Damn it!" the killer shouted.

"The gym, get to the gym!" Stephanie anxiously shouted.

"Shut up, you little bitch!" the distorted voice said. "Tick tock, Jimmy."
