Chapter 21 Summary

Ava, Paisley, Harper, and Gibson move back toward the jetty as Robert approaches, sword in hand. They jump into the ice-cold water, and Paisley struggles as her clothes become wet and heavy. Though Robert doesn’t follow them, she is separated from the others by a swift current, which drags her further down the shore. She yells at the others to leave her behind and eventually struggles out of the current onto the bottom of a rocky cliff. She clings to the cliff, gathering her strength, and decides to swim backwards to the original jetty, hoping that Robert will not expect her to be there. She makes it onto the jetty and lies down, exhausted and bleeding from a cut on her forehead.

Paisley decides the best course of action is to head back into the park and try to find the cell phone jammer. While looking for it, she runs into Liam. He is relieved to see her and tells her that he lost Reeve in the haunted house but found Kenna’s body. The two of them recap the last hour and try to decide who the killer might be.
