The Night She Disappeared

Gabie gets a call from Drew, who relates the incident with Robertson. He is now secretly trailing Robertson’s car. Gabie commandeers Miguel’s car and follows Drew’s lead until they both arrive at a remote farmhouse. Drew arms himself with a tire iron, and Gabie takes a gun from Miguel’s glove compartment. The two crouch at the edge of Robertson’s lawn and peer through his window. Gabie recognizes Robertson as a regular customer with whom she regularly exchanges playful, silly banter. She has always thought of him as harmless, but as she watches he takes a gun out a desk drawer and walks down a set of stairs to his basement. As Gabie dials 911, a woman starts screaming from the basement. 

As Gabie speaks with the police, Drew smashes one of Robertson’s windows with the tire iron and unlocks his front door from the inside. Gabie reports that the police are on their way, but they both know that the screaming woman doesn’t have time to wait. They enter the house and identify themselves as the police, then run to the basement. There, they find Kayla standing in the doorway, wielding the bed slat, which she has just used to hit Robertson in the head.
