Years later, William trains the teenage Veronica for a very special assignment - she is supposed to kill a group of boys who make fun of luring defenseless girls into the forest, where they hunt and kill. Her latest victim, Gwen Thomas, was a waitress at a diner and was invited on a date by Jameson. In the course of this, however, she is first chased through the forest by him and his friends and finally shot.

Veronika is driven to the same diner by William. In this Jameson sees her and promptly chooses her as a new victim.
