Reorder

Put the events of Chapter 7 part 2 in the correct order (set 2):

Scarlett tells Mr. Frost (Jack) that he has visitors at the door

Bod uses the distraction from Scarlett to fade, escaping Jack.

Bod locks Jack upstairs and runs downstairs, telling Scarlett to get out, and invisibly passes the guests at the door.

Scarlett makes up and excuse and gets out of the house, leaving the men at Jack's door in confusion.

The men break into Jack's house, find Jack, find out he lost Bod (again) and all go after Bod and Scarlett.
