Eli: holding the note, eyes wide Wh-what do you think this m-means? D-did you see who left it?

jaw clenches, his eyes turn cold A stalker? They think they can intimidate me? I won't let them get away with this.

narrows his eyes, determination flickering in his gaze We can't let fear control us, Skylar. We've come too far to turn back now.
grabs a backpack and starts preparing Alright, Skylar. We're going to that convenience store tonight.
