mutely terrified, jamie backs away -- into the arms of another figure, obscured by smokescreen: the mysterious stranger!
danny screams! thunder crashes hellishly. lights flash on. doors fly open. suddenly danny is swept up in the protective arms of his mother, kara, 22.
jamie sighs with relief, steadying the wheel just as --
the truck plows into the shape, dragging it under, slamming headlong into the trunk of a huge oak tree.
a creak. tommy looks up. the door slowly closes.
the horrifying images send chills up kara's spine.
danny backs away, terrified. tommy and kara are too concerned with the baby to notice.
john shakes the remote. out of the corner of his eye, he catches a shadowy figure darting by in the darkened foyer.
kara sees the shape -- walking slowly and deliberately toward them. her screams become even more intense.
