One day, Jenna had to stay after school to help clean up the choir room after the celebration party. Her, the choir director, and his son were the only people there. Jenna was in the back of the room, when a loud noise came from Mr. Slater's office. She walked over to his office to see him lying on the ground with a puddle of blood pooling around his head, and dripping from the corner of his desk.  Jenna fumbles with her phone and calls 911. Brody comes into the room to see Jenna panicking. He walks over to where Jenna is and sees his father is dead on the floor. Brody pulls out his phone from his pocket to try to call 911, then Jenna walks over to him and grabs his arm and in her calmest voice and says, “I already called an ambulance, it’ll be here in fifteen minutes.”. 


The ambulance and the police showed up to load Mr. Slater onto a stretcher, and put him in the back of the ambulance. The police officer was standing by the back of the ambulance with the paramedic, who loaded Mr. Slater onto it. The paramedic shook his head, walking  over to Jenna and Brody. Jenna's Mom and Brody's Grandma were there now.. When the police officer walked up to them, pulling Brody and his Grandma over to the side so he could talk to them separately. He starts to speak and Brody's grandma starts to cry loudly, and Brody just looks over at Jenna and her mom and suggests that the cop go and talk to them. 

The officer comes over to Jenna and tells her that Mr. Slater was dead and had died almost  immediately after his head had hit the corner of his desk. He said he believes that he had slipped on the water he had spilled on the floor moments before so his death was an accident. The officer calls Brody over to where Jenna and her mother were standing and asks Jenna's mother if he could talk to the kids alone. When Jenna's mom walks away the officer walks with Jenna and Brody back inside the choir room where they were wiping down the floor and the desk, they were straightening up the risers and chairs in the main room. They were taking down his pictures and his name tag and deleting files. It's as if they're trying to erase him from our memories.

All of a sudden Jenna looks around the room and notices that she is no longer in the choir room but she is in her bedroom. She looks around her room confused on how she got here. She walks out of her room into the living room noticing she didn't recognize many of the people in the room. And that's when Mr. Slater came from a group of people with his son and said,  “Oh I see they've Erased you too.”  With a smile Brody reached for Jenna's hand and  said “It's Okay All of us here will be remembered someday It's just a matter of time until someone finds out what they are doing.”  Jenna just looks up at Brody and asks in the softest voice. “Who are you?”
