[x] Do your best to cool the situation down.
As attached as we've gotten to Melanie so far, it might not be so terrible to get her completely removed from this mess. Keeping her close to Felix would mean keeping her close to danger. Her father seems to have good intentions... as long as he takes her somewhere Chad doesn't know about, I almost think it'd be better for her to go.
Think things through. Felix is wanted. Even if he manages to steal a car, where would he go? I'm sure the media has plastered his face all over people's TV screens. Even though there's no evidence that Felix was even involved in the murders (which we know he isn't) people will associate his name with them. Not a good thing.
Then again, maybe turning himself in to the police would keep him safe. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE!

Best to calm down the room, think about things and maybe even work out a plan o_o

I honestly don't think Felix would be able to punch Patrick out anyways.

[x] Do your best to cool the situation down.
"At a time like this, we can't be turning on each other and losing our cool. I can't believe any of this is happening... How dragged into it I've become... But I have to deal with this. The sooner we get back to thinking rationally, the sooner we can get out of this chaos. Probably couldn't take Pat anyway..."
Felix yells at the top of his lungs, "STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" Clinton freezes. Patrick shuts up. Tom rushes out of the bathroom. Melanie droops to the ground. "Everyone, stop and look at how you're acting. What the hell? We're all in this together, and we can figure it out together. We all know none of us committed those murders. Between the five of us, we can clear our names. The problem is my father. For all we know, he could be hoping this will lure us out. He's dangerous beyond measure, and we must stop him. You guys seemed to have a plan anyway. We can solve this. We can't let him cause us to fall apart, especially now," Felix's speech seems to make everyone calm down a bit. "So...what exactly did I miss?" Tom asks.
Clinton, Patrick and Tom sit together at the table and get each other on the same wavelength again. This time, Felix is the one who is clinging closely to Melanie. With his arm around her shoulder, he looks as though he won't let anybody else touch her. The murders really affected the young couple.
The four men begin discussing their next course of action. Felix contributes from the couch, unwilling to let go of Melanie again. "Felix needs to go to the police. Once he explains things, Tom and I can go in, as well, and tell the police as much as necessary to get them off us," Patrick suggests. "It could work, but what if they start asking questions we can't answer? We don't need the police involved to make things even messier," Tom feels the need to remind everyone. "Yes, it might end up working against us. But in our current state, we can hardly even travel without getting taken in. Felix especially," Patrick adds. "I'll do it. I will call the police, have you guys drive me back close enough to bike to Gledenberg and turn myself in. You two will do your best to keep a watch out for my dad," Felix says. "And call us when we should come in as well?" Tom asks. "Correct. I can't think of any other way to deal with this. Running isn't an option now," Felix answers; "Clinton will stay here with Melanie and protect her." Melanie becomes visibly upset again at the thought of being apart from Felix.
With a basic plan agreed upon for now, the three of them get a bike packed into their car and make sure they're ready to go. Tom notices a crow sitting on the mailbox. Melanie grabs Felix and gives him a long, passionate kiss. "Be careful or I'll never forgive you," she warns. "I'll be back. I promise," Felix says without a hint of doubt in his voice. She manages to force a smile. Just as the three men are about to go back outside and get in the car, the house phone rings. Patrick rushes over and answers it.
"Really a beautiful home you have here, Patrick."
He drops the phone instantly, as his face becomes petrified with terror. Everyone hears a car pull up outside the house. "Chad's here..." Patrick mouths.
[] Grab Melanie and hide.
[] Sneak out back with Melanie.
[] Meet your father outside and try reasoning with him.
[] Stay together inside the house.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

[x] Sneak out back with Melanie.
Keeping these two alive is in first priority. Besides, murderers are not the type of people who you can calm down by talking to them.

[x] Sneak out back with Melanie.
Hiding isn't a good option and neither is confronting your dad after the current events. This seems like the best option.

[x] Sneak out back with Melanie.
You need to get away from the situation entirely, and dealing with your father in his current state is definitely NOT a good idea.

As much as I want to keep these two alive, a part of me also wants to see what happens if we stick around to watch the pomegranate hit the fan. Plus if we sneak out back, we'll miss all the juicy conversation... that is, if there even is conversation between Chad and the gang.

There's one of him and five of you. If you stay out of his line of sight when he enters the door, he won't shoot you first, and you have time to bash his head over with the nearest object available. That being said, I suggest Tom be the bait.

I think you guys are worrying too much about the murders. Now we have Melanie being all protective. SHE WILL TAKE THE BULLET.

He can't possbily kill 5 people at once.... Plus you don't want to miss any of the converesation.

"United we stand, divided we fall."
Hiding would probably piss him off even more; and with the other arguments said, no way he could take everyone out, if those were his intentions.

If they die, then they should die together.

Unless he has like. Superpowers, this should work.

"We must stand strong and stick together. Even if Dad gets in, there's no way he can take us all out. We can get the upper hand and question him. I don't want to die... I need to protect Melanie."
"QUICK! Lock the door, Clinton!" Patrick yells, snapping back to life. Clinton swings around and locks the front door. Everyone gathers in the safety of the stairs leading to the basement, which are close enough to the front door to hear Chad still. The doorbell rattles. Chad pounds on the door. "AWWW COME ON PATRICK. IS THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT AN OLD FRIEND? HAHAHAH" Chad laughs maniacally; "LET ME IN!" The five begin to feel panicked. "HAHAHAHA SON? YOU THERE SON? COME ON, LET YOUR FATHER IN! I JUST WANNA TALK!" Chad's madness becomes clear. "Tom, go to my room and get weapons. We have no other choice," Patrick says. Melanie lets out a terrified whimper. Tom runs downstairs to Patrick's room. "DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW HOW YOUR PRECIOUS FRIENDS DIED, SON? THE GIRL BEGGED FOR HER LIFE..." Chad taunts. Felix is overcome with rage and tries dashing up the stairs. Patrick grabs him by the leg and yells, "Idiot, NO! It's what he wants! Stay here!" Melanie grabs tightly onto Felix. His blood boils with a new found hatred.
Tom gets back on the stairs carrying a small gun and metal baseball bat. Felix wonders why he'd have a handgun, but he doesn't question it now. Patrick takes the gun and lays out his plan. "Clinton, you stay and protect Melanie and Felix down here. Tom and I will cover the front." Suddenly, Chad manages to kick in the door and bursts inside. However, Tom was ready to act faster. He swings the bat down on Chad's arm holding the gun. Letting out a scream of agony, he drops the gun. Before he can react, Tom hits him again in the legs, causing him to falter and then again in the back, driving him to the ground. Patrick points the gun at Chad's head. "Get up, and you die," he warns. It's 10 AM.
Patrick and Tom get Chad tied to the back of a chair. His entire body throbs in burning pain, but they show him no mercy. They tie his arms, legs and torso firmly to the chair. The five of them stand around Chad, all with vivid expressions of disgust, rage and sorrow on their faces. Felix looks ready to kill him. Out of nowhere, they hear a loud noise coming from the storage room, like someone landing on something. A sinister grin forms on Chad's distorted face. "Tom, check it out. NOW," Patrick yells. Tom runs to the storage room, out of sight. Gunshots are heard. "Dammit! Chad who did you bring?" Patrick screams, a look of surprise on his face. "You got...careless..." Chad moans. Patrick pistol-whips Chad on the head, knocking him unconscious. He carefully heads over to the storage room, gun ready. Felix, Melanie and Clinton stand in horror.
[] Get away from this now and head to the police.
[] Do nothing yet and wait for Patrick.
[] Grab a knife from the kitchen and try assisting Patrick.
[] Hide inside and call the police.
