Mack went crazy. He couldn't take the fact that Andy hadn't survived, and that Melinda didn't love him.
So he kidnapped and raped her.
And he killed Trudy for being somewhat of a witness.
So fifteen year old Rosalyn Hastings Abernathy killed him.
Then she ran away, getting away from the cops only because she was a young, pretty girl.
Rosalyn realized that she was grinding her teeth (a habit she had picked up a couple of years before) and quickly stopped. She looked up and stared around the cabin at all of the different people on the train, all having a different reason for being there, all having a different story. She spotted a tall man who looked generally pleased with himself, holding a girl in one arm. She saw a woman with three young kids tugging at her dress.
Suddenly Ray's heart skipped a beat. Across the train car was a beautiful woman with reddish brown, shoulder length hair. She was wearing a gorgeous dress that hung at her knees. Her deep brown eyes looked longingly out the window, the same way Rosalyn's did. As Ray examined her defined face in disbelief, Melinda looked up and their eyes met. Without warning, a silent tear fell from Ray's cheek.
She mouthed out the word,
"Help".
