There are 4 or 5 potential scenarios banging around in my head because this case has so many different possible timelines and variables. But if I HAD to choose the most likely one
right now it would go like this;
Hailey was uncomfortable with SA because he was being inappropriate and sickeningly seductive towards her for quite some time. She began to speak of it when she was 11 and he first began lurking outside her bedroom door at night.
She slept away from home a lot and even went to live with family friends. She begged her dad to let her move in but he did not have legal custody and had legal issues blocking him still. So according to some friends and family she was afraid and felt trapped.
She slept in the livingroom for the past 2 years. It felt safer to her and she used the TV as an excuse to stay on the sofa. But when school got out for christjmas her mom and SA gave her a tv for her bedroom. Now she was expected to sleep in her own room again. SA loved that idea. He wanted the privacy that it would bring him.
Sunday night at 10 she is in her room watching tv. Billie says goodnight. Billie takes another pain pill and an Ativan and goes into a deep sleep. Sometime later, the coast is
clea and SA finally gets his first chance in 2 long years to trap the 13 yr old in her bedroom. Maybe he even drugged her hot chocolate or ice cream earlier, just to make her more compliant.
She wanted to scream, but SA had already told her that if she ever told anyone about his secret touches, that he would hurt her baby sister. Why wouldn't she believe that---he had already threatened to kill her mom and dad and nobody did anything about it.
She knew it was useless to keep trying to tell her mom. So she laid there quietly.
He had never gone so far before. This was the first time he had her alone in her bedroom, with DD gone and BD drugged and asleep. So he went way too far and she was quite upset. She was drugged enough that she went to sleep but she was not happy.
next morning SA cannot sleep because he is nervous. He knows that she will not be quiet this time because he went too far. He leaves before BD, but plans to come back as soon as she leaves for work. He calls her as he is driving back, to make sure she is gone. Then he goes home to speak with Hailey. He needs to intimidate her some more, threaten her to keep her quiet. So he scoops her up, duct tapes her and puts her in the trunk and takes her somewhere else.
Later, after something bad happens, not sure exactly what, he decides to go back home and stage her exit. He locks the door, cleans up, and begins to gather things for her bag. He sends the text, and starts to pack her things, when DD appears in the hallway. THUD
