Do Not Disturb

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of physical and emotional domestic abuse, cursing, violence, and death.

The narrative perspective shifts to Quinn’s older sister, Claudia. Claudia, frustrated that Scott didn’t go into Quinn’s house after the report of screaming, repeatedly questions Scott for information on Quinn. However, he keeps repeating that he doesn’t know anything or that he can’t share what he does know.

Scott does tell Claudia that they found a burner phone on Derek and that he was texting another woman about meeting up. There are two possibilities: Someone killed Derek and has also killed or kidnapped Quinn, or else Quinn herself killed Derek. Claudia can’t imagine the second possibility, even with the trouble she knew Quinn was having with her marriage.

Claudia’s husband, Rob, calls her. He asks her again to come home, telling her that the storm is getting worse. When she resists, Rob offers to bring her the pickup truck so at least she can drive more safely. She and Rob have been married for six years, so things have begun to get “stale” between them; however, when he offers this, she remembers how much she loved him.
