Many hours later the door opens.  Sue-Ann walks in alone.<br/><br/>"Well, If y'all woke up in time to hear the tape recording', you know the cops came by this morning and y'know they wrote y'all off as dead.  We gave 'em some time to finish watchin us from the ridge, an we listened to the scanner till we heard all the branches o the cops say they were goin home.  Then we walked the ridge to be sure.<br/><br/>I suppose yer wondering what's gonna happen to y'all.  Well, if you asked any questions afore y'all went raftin, y'know people have been dissappearin round these parts for years.  Y'all can ask Jon to tell you the story of how I raped, killed and butchered my husband and baby mama's.  After that, we figgered we could snatch one or two rafters or hikers now and then and no one would be the wiser.  Over the years we added little details like usin livestock blankets to mask people's scent.<br/><br/>And what are we gonna do with y'all?  Well, you (she points at Jon) are gonna get my girls pregnant.  It's high time they had babies of their own.  And you (she sweeps her finger to point to the ladies.  We're gonna take turns knockin' y'all up, and carvin you up for vittles.  After the babies are born, we only need one of you, if you know what I mean."  She smiles.  "Course, we aint monsters, so if you want to live being repeatedly raped, murdered and regenerated, we'll keep ya.  Likewise, if'n you want out early, we can butcher Jon after my girls are preggers.  And we can butcher one a you girls without getting you preggers, since there's so many of you.  We'll give you a month of R&R, that's Rape and Regeneration, get it, while you decide who gets out quick.  Any questions?  Oh, the answer to 'will you show mercy and/or let us go' is NO!"
