The footage resumes from Alison’s camera, no longer with her at the moment. It sits on the shelf next to the barred door where Sloan left it, watching as Solena and Maven begin to figure their way out of their predicament.

“They’re going to kill each other if we leave them alone,” Solena whispered sharply, chasing after Maven as she made her way towards the door.

“I don’t doubt it. But they’re going to have to make do for now.” She knelt down next to the door, trying to see through the seam between the door and the jamb. “Find something to cover that hole.”

“We could follow them down — they’ll stand a better chance —”

“— They’ll stand a better chance with fewer people and something hiding where they fell. If someone sees that hole in the floor it won’t take a genius to figure out where it leads.” Maven stuck the knife in the seam of the door, putting her ear to it. “You and me are going after supplies. We need enough to get everybody out of here.”

Short of just jumping down the hole anyway, Solena didn’t have many other options than to trust Maven’s guidance. With an exasperated sigh, she picked out a couch that could cover enough of the hole for it to be believable and got to work dragging it over.

It scraped loudly against the floorboards, so Maven briefly abandoned the door to help her pick it up and situate it in a way where it wouldn’t look suspicious.

“Were you able to get a good look at the door on the way in?”

“Not enough to see how they locked us in.”
