As it appears the boy may die, the three realize they may suffer the consequences for a myriad of capital crimes they've just committed; kidnapping, attempted rape, and now, murder. But there is only one witness. As they confront Melinda in the small town diner/convenience store, Scott appears on a beer and snack run, and, in "like-father-like-son" fashion, Scott rescues her and they retreat back to the cabin with the thugs in pursuit.
