september 17th. The blonde news anchor reveals hardly anything about the two victims except their ages. But that's all it takes to keep taylor's phone chirping out text notifications from marin and Jamie who are sure that one of the victims went to East Mini co middle school Brandon or possibly Brandon, nobody can remember his name. His sister Nora was briefly part of their friend group in middle school. According to marin Nora deleted her facebook profile an hour ago when someone tagged her in the comments section of the breaking story on KQ R. C. Already 605 people in Rupert Idaho have marked themselves safe from the incident at the thicket. The news story has 1000 shares and nearly as many comments, there are the kids who almost went to the thicket tonight but had too much homework. There are the frantic parents whose teenager was supposed to be at the ticket tonight and now isn't responding to texts. There are the wannabe sleuths posting close ups of still frame news footage.

Her stomach clenches a little tighter as she pulls her bedspread closer around her shoulders and imagines what the real blood on the inside of the cabin must look like. She glances at the lock screen of her phone and reads the latest text from Jamie. Does this mean they're gonna close the whole thing down? It's followed by a frowny emoji. Taylor frowns too and reaches for the remote to turn off the tv. She'll text marin and Jamie back in the morning but before she climbs into bed she logs into facebook and marks herself safe, then double checks the lock on her bedroom window. She's being silly. She tried herself the person who brought a knife into the thicket is almost certainly not outside her bedroom window right now. She's just feeling anxious after watching the news. But then again he's somewhere
