As they raise Erinn to the altar, she suddenly wakes up from the dream.
jolts upright in bed, gasping for breath Holy shit... That was a nightmare, huh? I should get myself checked, I'm starting to think I'm losing my damn mind!
Erinn sits up in bed, trying to calm herself down.
runs fingers through her hair, breathing heavily Okay, Erinn, you heard the voices. They're gone now. Just another bad dream, nothing more. You're safe, relax...
She turns on the TV only to see news reports about the accident at the church.
gasps loudly, eyes glued to the TV Oh my god... No, no, no...
The reporter mentions the death of Erinn's father.
jumps out of bed, heart pounding My dad... he's gone... I can't believe it...
Tears well up in Erinn's eyes as she realizes the gravity of the situation.
falls to the floor, tears streaming down her face No... no, this can't be happening... I... I need to go to the funeral... I need to say goodbye...
In her panic, Erinn accidentally knocks over a photo frame, smashing it on the ground.
sobs uncontrollably, clutching the broken photo frame Our memories... our happy moments... all shattered... just like my heart...
As Erinn curls up on the floor crying, there's a knock on the door.
sniffles, looks towards the door Wh-who's there? Is someone there? voice trembling
Peeking through the peephole, Erinn sees a familiar face - her mother.
wipes her tears quickly, tries to compose herself Mom?! What... what are you doing here?!
Her mother walks into the room and immediately gives Erinn a big hug.
breaks down sobbing in her mother's arms Mom... I thought you were still out of town... What happened?! What's going on?!
Her mother whispers to Erinn.
pulls away from the hug, holding her mother's hands Mom, tell me everything. What happened to dad? Was it an accident?
Her mother pauses before speaking.
takes a deep breath, bracing herself Mom... just tell me the truth. What happened to dad? Don't hide anything from me.
Her mother's expression changes to one of concern and fear.
heart racing Mom... what's wrong? Why do you look like that?
Her mother hesitates before finally speaking.
voice shaking Mom... Dad... he didn't just die in an accident. He... he was murdered.
Shocked, Erinn stares at her mother.
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Murdered? How could this happen? Who would want to hurt him?
Her mother takes a deep breath.
grabs her mother's shoulders Mom, I need to know everything. Did you hear about this from the police? Do they have any suspects?
Her mother shakes her head.
frustrated Dammit, Mom! Why are they withholding this information? We deserve answers!
Her mother looks at her with regret.
clenches fists, voice filled with anger I'm not gonna sit here and wait for the police to figure things out.
Determined, Erinn paces the room.
stops pacing, voice determined Mom, we need to find out who did this to Dad.
She holds her mother's hand.
nods resolutely Okay, Mom. Let's start by finding out where the investigation stands right now.
