[image description: new scene, outdoors, day. sylvia with cellphone in hand, but holding it down at her side as she has just finished talking on it, has just left courtley manor and is striding down the wide front walk of “riverbed” paved stone. like zach and jason, the teen has black hair, but hers is styled in a mohawk. she also wears black lipstick and heavy black eyeliner, a spiked black leather dog collar around her neck, studded black leather wristbands, and a dark purple form-fitting front-zip short-sleeved top with the zipper drawn down to just above the solar plexus, and matching tight miniskirt. “zach was right,” she thinks aloud. “it was pretty messed up of me to let jason think i’d been kidnapped. hope he doesn’t hate me forever.”]
