Mark ran a hand through his hair. Okay, what the ***** just happened there?

Bette glanced up at the rafters above them. Well, that obviously fell.

From where? Dana demanded, gesturing upwards with one hand. This house isnt made of cement, so where did that come from?

And look how heavy this thing is, Mark added, pointing. All nine – he glanced at Helena, then corrected himself, excuse me, eight of us, couldnt even move it. How did it fall? From where?

I dont know, but it was an accident, Carmen said, shrugging her shoulders. It had to be.

A freak accident, Alice agreed weakly.

Really freak, Tina said, raising her eyebrows and turning away from the bloody pool in front of them.

Shes right. Theyre right. It was an accident, Helena added.

Kit shook her head. I dont like this. I dont like any of this at all. We need to get the ***** out of here.

We need to call someone. The police, or someone, Mark replied, wringing his hands.

Theres a phone over there! Dana exclaimed, pointing toward the corner of the room. Immediately, everyone trooped over toward it, tiptoeing gingerly around Marinas body.

Bette picked it up and put it to her ear. Theres no dial tone.

What do you mean? Alice shouted. Give me that. She snatched the phone away and her face fell. *****. Shes right.

What does that mean? Dana asked, looking desperate.

It means, Shane began, looking worried, we have no phone.

Cell phones! Carmen suddenly shouted.

Thats brilliant! Shane yelled, grabbing for her pocket.

Alice frowned. No signal here. She was greeted by the same from everyone else.

Lets try outside, Mark suggested. Quickly, everyone rushed into the foyer and to the front door, except Helena, who hung back from the group. Mark grabbed at the door, finding it locked. *****, I cant get it to open! he yelled, kicking at the door.

Everyone began pushing and kicking at the door. Finally, Bette gave up, and slid down to the floor, her back against the heavy wooden door. You guys, were locked in.
