Chapter 18

Matt struggled to keep the sobbing girls on their feet as they walked up the path toward the house. Hannah collapsed twenty-five feet from the porch. He looked over at LeAnn worried she’d be next.

“I can…walk. Don’t…worry… about me,” she said through her tears. He could see she wasn’t going to pass out, but she was having trouble keeping her balance.

Nick and Randy stood waiting on the porch for Matt to get back and tell them what else needed to be done.

“What the—?” Randy said as he quickly opened the screen door. Nick had already jumped the porch steps and ran down to help LeAnn. Matt carried Hannah inside and laid her on the couch. LeAnn collapsed as Nick reached her. He carried her into the house and laid her on the love seat.

“Damn, Man! What happened?” Nick asked as he laid LeAnn down.

“I’m not sure,” answered Matt honestly, just as confused as his friends. “I found them locked in the boathouse. I couldn’t get the doors open. I had to break one the French doors.” He turned to Randy, “Go in the kitchen and find some brandy or whiskey.” Matt then reached for the throw that was on the sofa and wrapped it around Hannah. “Nick, go upstairs and grab a blanket for LeAnn.” Matt shouted orders to his buddies not really knowing what he was doing.

Nick ran up the stairs and into the first guest room, taking the comforter off the bed and running back down, two stairs at a time. He handed the comforter to Matt, who covered LeAnn. She was shaking uncontrollably. Randy came out of the kitchen and threw Matt a dish towel. Matt looked at him questioning. “For your hand.” Matt looked down and saw that his right hand was cut and bleeding. “Thanks.” He wrapped the towel around it. Then Randy handed Matt one of the glasses of brandy, and took the other glass to where Hannah was lying.

Hannah was started to move and scream under the throw, “Let me out of here! Let me out!” Nick grabbed her by her shoulders and gently pushed her back onto the couch. “Shhh, Hannah. It’s okay; you’re safe. You’re out. It’s okay.” Randy handed Nick the glass of brandy, and Nick held it to Hannah’s lips. “Here, Hannah, sip this.” Hannah took a sip and lay back down.

LeAnn sipped her brandy while Matt held the glass. “Thank you.” She looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. “Thank you.” She whispered again. She lay back and closed her eyes feeling the warmth of the brandy going down her throat. She still couldn’t control the shaking. She was so cold.

Matt looked at the two girls. They were shaking and pale, terrified. He had never seen anyone like this before, and didn’t know what to do. What had happened in that ballroom? What had they seen? Suddenly, Matt remembered he had heard something just as he pulled LeAnn through the broken door. What was it? What had he heard? He decided he couldn’t think about it now.
