Bennet hears this outside and calls out for his daughter as he runs inside. Peter hears the scream and runs inside too. Sylar holds Jackie up as Claire slowly comes to on the floor. He holds out his finger and makes an imaginary line with it and we see a line of blood appear on Jackie's forehead. Man, he doesn't even have to use a knife! She's gasping and bleeding and Claire's watching the entire thing. She straightens out a few bones and stands up. As she turns to look at Sylar, her face heals itself, and Sylar realizes the mistake he's made. Jackie looks over at Claire and gasps, "Run!" Sylar dumps her body on the ground as Claire runs off.
She runs right into Peter, who asks if she's okay. They both turn and see Sylar in the distance and Peter orders Claire to get the hell out of there. Very brave, Peter, but Sylar's not your average psycho. As is soon evidenced by Sylar flicking his little finger and all the locker doors flinging off their hinges in Peter's general direction. Peter's like, uh, fuck this, and he runs off too. Bennet runs into the locker room and sees Jackie's body on the ground, pooled in blood. He thinks it's Claire at first, but quickly realizes it's Jackie. The doors to the school open up and Claire comes running out, screaming. She bolts up the Greek Forum stairs with Peter following directly behind her. He catches up to her as Sylar's shadow appears in the doorway. He grabs her arm and they run up the stairs together, basically proving wrong Isaac's painting of Claire being shadowed by the evil Sylar on the steps.
They idiotically stop at the top of the stairs to have a little chat about just who Sylar is and what he wants, and then Peter tells Claire to run and find people and lights because Sylar doesn't want to be seen. Clearly, Sylar isn't too worried about that, seeing as he's just stalking after them in plain sight. Claire's all, but what about you? Peter heroically tells her not to worry about him and then shouts at her rather viciously to get the hell out of there. Damn. That was kind of sexy. Might have to watch that again. Or get a date. One or the other. Claire runs off and suddenly, Sylar's right there, his telekinesis somehow giving him the ability to transverse great distances in a single bound. He grabs Peter and suddenly, they fall over an edge or something and smack! They're done. Just like that. They're both dead.
