Jordan Conrad,

Walk upstairs and walk until you reach the end of the hallway. Stay two steps ahead of Mary at all times. Last door on the right. Enter. Close the door. And lock it behind you.

Fail to obey, and Neil won't be the only one whose secret love life is revealed.

***

Mary Hadden,

Walk upstairs and walk until you reach the end of the hallway. Stay two steps behind Jordan and two steps ahead of Roland at all times. Last door on the left. Enter. Close the door. And lock it behind you.

Fail to obey, and it'll be revealed that cheating wasn't the worst thing you did to Neil.

***

Roland Green,

Walk upstairs and walk until you reach the end of the hallway. Stay two steps behind Mary at all times. Last door straight ahead. Enter. Close the door. And lock it behind you.

Fail to obey, and you'll never know why your parents preferred Erin over you.

***

Lindsey Marcum,

Walk straight forward and walk until you reach the end of the hallway. Stay two steps ahead of Michael at all times. Last door on the right. Enter. Close the door. And lock it behind you.

Fail to obey, and everyone will find out that you knew about far more than Mary and Neil.

***

Michael Hadden,

Walk straight forward and walk until you reach the end of the hallway. Stay two steps behind Lindsey at all times. Last door on the left. Enter. Close the door. And lock it behind you.

Fail to obey, and I'll reveal why Erin had that restraining order in the dresser drawer. And why it didn't get to be filled out all the way.

***

Without saying a word, all five looked up from their letters and tucked them into their back pockets. Without saying a word, they all started for their ordered rooms.

Jordan walked up the stairs first, with Mary two steps behind her and Roland two steps behind Mary. Lindsey walked two steps ahead of Michael towards the back of the cabin on the downstairs level.

Five doors opened simultaneously and shut two and a half seconds later.

Five locks clicked. And five gasps echoed.


A/N: A bit of a different chapter, but the next five will be individual accounts of what every room holds for each character, as well as revealing what secrets each of them have been hiding from each other the whole time.

Starting with: Roland.
