When she attempts to call the police Quentin encases her in webbing, Police Officer Williams Christopher Cousins arrives on the scene and attempts to free the woman but is attacked by Quentin.The next day the police converge on the store and find the mans body which has been sucked dry of all fluids and the woman in a state of shock.
