Fear Strikes
- The kids go back to Egypt over the next few days. But they're way too nervous to really play. Hey, wouldn't you be spooked?
- As they play, they can't help but wonder how this whole situation with the oracle and Security happened.
- One evening, Melanie and her parents go to a concert at the college. They leave Marshall at home, and April comes over to babysit.
- April starts doing homework but realizes that she doesn't have her math book because she left it in Egypt. Now that's fuel for a great big uh-oh.
- She asks Marshall for a flashlight and says she'll be right back.
- No can do. Marshall is super stubborn and demands that April let him come along too.
- You'd think she'd be able to stand up to a four-year-old, but she feels like she doesn't have any choice. So she takes his hand and they head out into the streets.
- As April is holding open the board to the yard to let Marshall into Egypt, someone grabs her from behind.
- A strong hand covers her mouth.
- April is completely horrified.
- She can't even scream.
- Sounds like a nightmare to us.
- Marshall just stands there staring at her and the person behind her. Why isn't he screaming? At last, she hears an unfamiliar, hoarse voice yelling for help.
- Let's hope some help actually comes.
