As most of the drama club left the auditorium, Megan, Brooke, and Katherine went up and dragged Johanna and Tobias off of the stage. They left the room and started walking to the far side of town.

They walked past Old Town Fairvale, out past the old diner. Fifteen miles out of town, they reached an old half-burned down house and 12 vacant cabins separated from the house: the Bates Motel.

The five walked up to the cabins. Megan walked into the office, went behind the counter, and grabbed the key to Cabin One. She walked back out of the office and unlocked Cabin One. She put the key in her pocket and opened the door. Everyone walked into the room.

"This is where it all happened…" Megan whispered.

"Where… What all happened?" Johanna asked.

Katherine sat on the chair next to the desk. Brooke sat on the desk itself. Toby stretched out on the bed. Johanna sat on the floor, resting up on the side of the bed. Megan rested up against the wall near the bathroom, standing under the paintings of birds.

Katherine asked Tobias and Johanna, "How much do you know about this school play we're doing?"

Tobias replied, "Just assume we don't know anything."
