It is two in the morning, and Cheyenne decides it is time to escape. The men have left the house, and Griffin is asleep. She takes the glass shard and cuts her ankle free. She finds a heavy wrench and hits Griffin on the head with it.
Crying, Cheyenne worries that she has killed Griffin, especially since she had to hit him twice before he lost consciousness. She looks for a substitute for her cane and realizes there must be car antennas lying around. She finds one in the yard, but it is not very long. Duke rushes toward her, barking. He stops, and his breathing reminds her of Phantom. She feeds him some kibble from her pocket and unchains him. She creates a leash for Duke by using her belt and allows him to lead her away from the house toward the woods.
Duke and Cheyenne make their way through the woods, walking for a long time while it gets colder. As dawn breaks, Duke runs away, chasing after a small animal, and Cheyenne is alone. It is getting lighter. She finds a branch that is long enough for a cane and keeps on going.
