the door opens. kara is repulsed by the sight of tommy's musty, unkempt apartment. close on a chapter heading. "thorn - the devil's rune." beneath it, a bold depiction of the familiar thorn triangle. she picks up the cordless phone, switches on and dials her home number. we hear the phone ringing on the other end. kara is frantic. looking out the window at the myers house. kara can see beth on the phone. sitting by the window. kara's mouth suddenly drops open. her mind snaps into sensory overload. she can see the shape walking up behind beth! raising a gleaming butcher knife! kara stands frozen in pure horror, hearing and seeing her friend's vicious murder.
