Jeremy was walking outside. After his meeting with Veronica he didn’t want to go straight home. He told Alaric he’d go see Bonnie and since Ric would definitely check his alibi he was now on his way to Caroline’s.
When he was almost there he saw there was light burning upstairs. A window swung open and a guy, who Jeremy didn’t recognize, climbed over the edge and climbed downstairs using the pipes. He landed on his feet, but then Lost his balance.
For a moment Jeremy considered helping the guy, but then decided to stay put. The guy scribbled up and walked away.
Jeremy pulled out his phone and dialed Bonnie’s number.
“Jeremy, what are wewe doing? Do wewe know what time it is?” Bonnie mumbled sleepy.
“Do wewe know there was a guy in the house?” Jeremy asked quickly.
“Of course, that’s Keith. He came kwa for a nightly visit” Bonnie answered. “It’s a habit”
“Oh” Jeremy alisema sheepish. “Well…could wewe open the door?”
“No” Bonnie said. “Caroline’s mom expects me to be a good girl. If she thinks I’m inviting boys in her daughter’s room, I’m screwed. If wewe want to talk, we can talk tomorrow, at school”
And before Jeremy could answer, Bonnie had hung up.

Rachel stroke her fingers through her hair. “Oh my God. What have I done?” she mumbled agitated. “Think, Rachel, think” She looked around. Then she grabbed Gabe’s feet and dragged him to the farthest corner.
She ran to the stairs and went to the jikoni where she searched the drawers for matches. In her panic she forgot she had been living here for about twenty years and the matches lay in the sekunde drawer inayofuata to the cupboard underneath the sink ever since. She pulled it open and grabbed the matches. Then she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Malt Whisky. She ran back downstairs to the body. She opened the bottle of Malt and poured its content over the body. Then she stroke a match and let it fall down and watch how Gabe went up into flames.
As she watched him burn a sudden agony fulfilled her body and she dropped the bottle. She fell down on her knees and felt her body contracting and convulsing while she screamed.

Elena took a deep breath and started running down the hill. However, the nyasi on the kilima started growing really fast and pushed Elena back. Elena angry pushed the nyasi away and came halfway the hill.
Then the earth started shaking and Elena rolled down.
The road that led to the open field cracked open and Elena’s feet got stuck in one of the cracks.
“Ha, damn it!” she cursed and she pulled her leg, but she couldn’t songesha it. The crack grew bigger and soon she fell in a whole. A deep one.
She looked up and saw how the crack slowly closed again.
“Elena”
Elena grabbed the ukuta which was raw and cut her hands open, but she didn’t care. With a fierce determination she climbed up and out of the crack. She crawled away from the crack, dodged the other cracks and reached the open field.
