Mandy was being held captive by a murderer. She sat there, wondering how to get free from her situation. She thought to herself:
"I can't believe I'm sitting here, tied to a chair, when just a few hours ago I was happy and carefree, playing with Roger. I ask myself, how did I get into this situation? The place was creepy and Cynthia looked like she was at the end of her rope. And somewhere close by, death was just biding its time.
"He thought that killing us would resolve everything. I thought that escaping and taking Cynthia with me would resolve everything. In the end, one of us was going to be very disappointed with the final result.
"I kept going through my options as to how I could talk him out of this, but I could see it wasn't going to be much use. He was intent on killing us, as though that would make everything nice again.
"He moved towards Cynthia, since she was the object of his hatred. I continued to try to wriggle out of these ropes. Where is Roger? Other times he was busy shoving his nose where it didn't belong. The one time I really need him he's missing in action.
"Jill is the only other person that knows I went out. She thought I was happily playing at the park with Roger. So much for the Marines coming to the rescue.
"As I look at the events that led to this situation, I realize, I should have left things alone, I should have walked away. But my curiosity got the best of me. Curiosity killed the cat, and it might finish me off this time.
And it all started so innocently a couple of days ago."
