Somewhere around midnight I must have dozed off, but now I am completely awake. Did I hear something or is my imagination playing tricks on me? I have stayed here enough to know the night sounds the house makes, every house is different. There it is again, it sounds like someone at the back door. Not knocking, working the door knob or something like that. I get up and grab an aluminum baseball bat that is in the family room for some reason, I'm glad it is. I walk as quietly as I can into the kitchen staying close to the wall so I won't be highlighted by the light in the family room. Every sense in my body is alive and I have a very sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. What if someone breaks in and gets past me? I'm still just a teenager and these may be men, mean, vicious men. The mind has a tendency to overreact at times like this. I am almost right by the door now. There is definitely someone or more than one someone's outside that door, I can hear voices. Join the gang as they come up against their most difficult and terrifying situation yet. That will leave Ed with painful scars both mentally and physically. And the only way to push through is with his best friends by his side.
