The phone ringing inside the car. Remaining unattended. Forgotten and not bought with its owner. Looking at the name of the person the phone is vibrating from. Danny.

"Come on Jen pick up!!" No answer as the phone would say, 'I'm sorry but the person you called is not available." Shit, Danny called her many times, hoping she could answer. Becoming more worried than ever.

Amy, looking over a worried Danny, hoping to calm him down. "Danny, hey, try to calm down."

"How can I calm down? My sister is in that house and I don't even know what will happened to her! And I'm not even fucking there for her!! FUCK!!" He bangs the door on his left side in anger. He's not calm. He doesn't know what he should do if she disappears.

Howard, looking at Danny for a quick second as his eyes are focused on the road. "Danny, I know how you're feeling kid. And that was something I felt too when my little girl disappeared. But I'm gonna say this to you, my little girl may be gone but your sister will not. We're almost there Danny and we all promise you, we won't let that happened to your sister. Okay. So try to remain calm." Not enough to convince Danny about it. But listens. He tries to remain calm. Whatever the situation is inside that house, he is ready for it.

Making it inside the house. Looking at it, seeing Jen's car in front of the house. She made it through the front gate. That mean she beat them to the house. The front gate doesn't recognise Howard's car, meaning they would need to park their car near the front gate. That's the only option he has now. Slowly parking his car near the curb, not wanting to hit it. They made it. Next to the front gate for Danny to go inside in.

Coming out of the car. Closing the car door before Howard locks the car through his car key. Approaching the front gate. Pushing it. Still locked. Pulling his key out of his pocket, inserting it at the gate, twisting it until there's no more lock on the door. The front gate is opened. Closing the front gate, choosing to lock it at a temporary time. The lock the front gate has closes it but could still be open for anyone who wants to get out of the house.

Approaching Jen's car, hoping to look inside. Next to the window. To see her phone. Jen dropped her phone as soon as she arrived in the house. Seeing this, no wonder why she wasn't able to answer his phone calls.

Joe, going to the front door. The front door may be locked but he doesn't think too much about it. Checking to see if the door will open. Putting his hands on the door knob. Pushing it down and moves it forward. Only for the door to move forward. Leaving creeking noises coming from the door. Bothering Joe. Realising it's not locked. Turning his attention to Danny and Amy. Howard is behind the trio.

"Guys!!" Shouted in a quiet tone.

"The front door is open." Causing them to become confused over this. Danny, thinking the intruder may be back inside. Found a way to open the door, without causing any of the locks to break.

Seeing this house, causing Howard to remember some of the times he had with Jessica. In the front door, during daytime, he would play football with Jessica. One of the things that tend to freak them out is the football, going out of the gate. They were careful not to kick it high. From there, it's where Jessica scored her first goal for the family. It was an amazing moment. Her mom, dad, they all cheered for her, congratulating her for this amazing success.

Now that was all in the past. Back to his concentration, going inside the house with the trio. Seeing the light switch, presses it. The lights are not opening. Joe presses it many times but the lights, refuse to open.

"Guess we gotta use our flashlights for this." Everyone take their phones out of their pockets. Turning on the lights. Everything in the house looks good. But unsure if the figure is still there.
