[ To Sharon, a private detective may as well be a detective, the distinction doesn't feel important in her mind.
His questions give her pause. She doesn't so much clam up as she has trouble admitting what happened next. ]
It's been... It's probably been a day by now. I ran. I didn't know if it was following me, I didn't know what to do. He told me they were coming, he'd told them where I was!
[ Her voice softens again. ] And I couldn't reach my dad. I went home, I found the place just... trashed. Come to Silent Hill written on my wall in blood like it was some shitty horror film. And then the cops showed up, banging on the door.
I know what would've happened if I'd stayed to let them in. I would be crazy, a suspect, and they wouldn't have been able to stop what was coming for me. [ Her dad would die. Those cops would die. She has a feeling he won't agree, he's a cop, after all, but it feels good to put it out there; to tell someone something she hasn't even had time to consider much herself. ]
