Smudger and Spotty broke into the house with no trouble. The bother started when the man came in. Why did he bite Spotty? Why did they kill him? And what followed them home? Mason was trapped under the fallen girder. He could get free is he could get Miranda to go for help. But Miranda was only little, and she remembered what Mummy has said about 'The little girl eaters'... Slade asked Dr. Matthews how to get rid of a body. And he followed his advice. He only forgot one thing, but that was enough... These people and others all had good reasons... for being in fear and dread.
