Part 4, Chapter 16 Summary: “3:33 a.m.”

Darby recoils in agony as Ed screams at Sandi, asking what is happening. Jay fetches water to rinse Darby’s eyes, which helps slightly. Jay guides a blinded Darby away from the arguing cousins as Sandi insists she can save Ed’s life. Darby hears the front door unlock.

Ashley is surprised to find the door unlocked but pleased when Sandi reports that Jay is alive and trapped in the restroom with Darby. She criticizes him for his handling of the affair, insisting that he promised he wouldn’t hurt Jay. He shoves her. Ed threatens Ashley and Lars with the lug wrench even as Lars points the gun at him, and Sandi begs him to stand down. Ed reluctantly lowers his weapon, and Ashley shoots him with the nail gun through his jaw. Sandi screams until Lars threatens her with the gun. Suddenly, Ashley realizes that Darby and Jay have escaped through the broken restroom window.

Darby steals Sandi’s truck, which moves slowly through the snow. In the rearview mirror, she sees Lars exit the rest stop and tells Jay to duck only seconds before Lars shoots at them. Lars approaches until the truck finally accelerates. As they drive downhill, she hands Jay her almost-dead phone, telling the girl to watch for signal.
