Simon's hand gripped the phone, and he dialled Melanie's number once again while he continued to look through the windows. He couldn't feel anyone's presence in the house, and he wondered if they had gone somewhere.

"Meet me at the door," Simon said to Conner, jerking his head towards the door, but Conner shook his head.
