New York Day 2 Ch.14

• Upstairs they hear what sounds like creeping, footsteps, movement from up in the loft.
• The main char urges them to find the entrance hatch hidden in a cupboard.
• They find the hatch.
• Kathryn goes up first and Logan follows.
• The others have almost broken through into the main room.
• Just as Logan gets up there's shouting and screaming.
• Bodies fall back down the stairs and the gun keeps going off until there are no more bullets to be fired.
• There's shouting.
• Barely hears Logan shouting that his ankle is broken.
• There is running and inaudible shouting.
• At this point on the tape there is a clear sound of a roaring fire and the main char presumes that the odd sound he heard on the previous tape was the fireplace fire spreading.
• But he can see the fire guard in place, so either a piece popped suddenly and violently or it was intentionally moved.
• Amanda shouts, "I've got you."
• Main char wants to put the second reel on and see what it contains.
• Others get into the room and go for the main char.
• He flees.
• He's determined to get to the attic and see what they saw for themselves.
• They chase him.
• The time for subtlety is over, the house is stirring and rooms begin collapsing one by one as they run through the house.
• Main char makes it up the staff stairs just before they collapse.
• The others start to form a plan to get up and he leaves them.
