The man pressed a button, and Gabrielle could hear the electric buzz in her walkie-talkie. She was talking to his walkie-talkie!
Gabrielle was so relieved. The man wearing the cape was working for the fairground.
They must be wearing the black cape to shock her. That was what they did. Or it would not be a haunted house.
It wasn't that Gabrielle was afraid of ghosts. She was prepared to see "ghosts" impersonated by men when she came in.
What terrified Gabrielle was meeting bad guys. It was crossing the line when the man dressed in a black cape jumped out from nowhere and grabbed her and wouldn't let her go.
Gabrielle held the walkie-talkie and stepped back to distance herself from the man. It was so dark in the haunted house that she couldn't see the figure of his face, let alone he wore a black cape.
Ps-
Why did she think this could be a location to strike?
And why did the cape man come closer as she moved back?
