Good ending on this one. :D

If the 'van' mentioned at the end of the first scene is one of the bad guy white vans, you should mention its color. I wasn't sure if that was meant to be foreboding, or a double-blind involving Hatcher's scene.

So, now I like Hatcher more (he really does know everything!), but Amanda less. Her personality doesn't feel terribly stable, given her responses to a lot of things going on. I think it also has to do with you not giving us a real good display of her bonding with Diego; I am, in other words, unsure of and surprised at her concern for him. Her scene feels very 'talky'. It might be that the dialogue feels less natural than Hatcher's (and it does).

But, if nothing else, the plot continues to hook me, and I'm looking forward to finding out what's going on eventually. :D But not too soon.
