Escape Date

A Special Addition to Bungalow In the Snow

You tell Laura and Rye that Finley suggested picking up some drinks instead of waiting endlessly. You take their orders--Laura loves peppermint-- and start to walk outside where Finley waits. Laura grabs you first and asks if you'll be okay alone.

You consider. Could Finley get rowdy? Laura passes you her pepper spray, just in case.

You walk with Finley down the dark sidewalk. It's not as lonely and dark as it would have been if there weren't other people coming and going from the escape house. On the way, the two of you discuss your classes, assignments, classmates, and other safe subjects before Finley tells you plainly that he's wanted to ask you out on a date for weeks.

This surprises you. You had no idea.

The two of you reach the coffee shop, grab drinks and a bag for cupcakes for everyone. On the walk back, you tell him plainly that if he still wants to ask you out, you will say yes. He suggests making this a date. You like that idea. You even consider abandoning Laura and Rye and skipping Bungalow in the Snow altogether.

At that moment, Finley notes that the people around the house seem to have disappeared. Seconds later, a police car rolls down the street.

You turn and start walking the other way.

"What do we do?" you ask. "I have to find Laura and Rye."

Finley assures you, "It's okay. Just relax. Call them and we'll meet them later. They probably scattered. I hope my friends got out."

"What could have happened?" you wonder.

You decide to:
