The CSI's spent the whole night looking for Jenna. She was nowhere to be found. Remembering what Jenna's aunt said, Grissom went to the nearest train station, in Arizona (don't ask!). The girl probably went to the nearest train station. Less of a walk. When he showed the picture to the man selling tickets, the man said he saw her last night.
"Where was she going? Texas?"
"No. She got a ticket to Alabama. Said she wanted to go straight through Texas."
The man had lied. She got a ticket to transfer onto a train in Texas. A two hour wait for the transfer to happen. Jenna paid the man extra to not tell anyone the truth. Even the people who worked for the law.
-!-!-Jenna!-!-!
Jenna slept in her big room on the train. Her families murder the night before still played in her head.
The doorbell rang at 10 o'clock, just as everyone was going to bed. Her mother went to the door. As she opened it, a gleaming object in the man's hand caught the elderly woman's eye. Eyes widened in horror. She noticed it too late. She tried closing the door, but the man stuck his foot in before she could shut it. The mother ran for the stairs, only to receive five bullets in her back, not even making it more than 10 feet away from the front door.
Before her father could react, the intruder stabbed him in the chest. Her father fell the floor, gasping for breath. The attacker kneeled next to the bleeding man, viscously stabbing him. Over and over again, the knife tore his skin apart. Agonizing screams came from him. Jr. came out of his room as his father screamed. As the killer laid over the lifeless body, Jr. yelled. The killed eyed the fear struck boy. The boy didn't move as he was approached. Before the boy was able to move, a knife was shoved into his chest. The boy let out a horrifying yelp. He fell to the ground as the attacker stuck his knife into the boy.
Jenna had had a fight with her mother just minutes before the nightmare happened. Jenna went to her room to pack her things to run away from home. She was just about done packing her bags when her mother let our a piercing scream. Alert she walked out of her room and looked over the stair railing just in time to see her father being stabbed. Turning to head back into her room and escape, she caught a glimpse of JR standing at the top of the stairs. The killer slowly approached JR. Jenna noticed he wasn't moving. She yelled at him to move, but he just stood there. By the time he actually could move he was already dying.
Not knowing what to do, Jenna ran into her parents' bedroom, locking the door behind her. Footsteps could be heard running across the floor. With one strong kick the door busted open. Jenna was already out the window and down the trellis.
Jenna sat up in her bed. She hugged her knees and buried her head, as she began to cry.
"I never got to say sorry." she repeated over and over again to her self.
