I found the writing much better in this chapter. The dialogue was of about the same calibur as last chapter, so I think it was what you had to say in between that really improved.
Yes, at the beginning, you will have to make sure the reader understands that it is a different character perspective for this chapter. Plus the beginning is kind of weak. I think perhaps it's the structure rather than the content.
The tension in this chapter is perfect, and the emotional value of this story was really taken up to a much greater level. I find myself feeling sorry for your characters, and even Laura, which even as a side character she has reader empathy. I feel a possible tragedy coming on here. Honestly though, it is difficult to elicit feelings of pity for characters, but you pull it off well here.
The ending I found very well done, like everyone else has commented.
