"Brrrrrr, it's chilly outside", Makensie said to herself, as she shut the front door of her house.
It was the night before Halloween. Cody and her had carved pumpkins, and against her better judgement, listened to ghost stories on the local radio show. She knows she will be up half the night now, because Cody will be so spooked, he won't be able to sleep.
"When is Daddy coming, Mommy?", Cody asked, curled up beside her.
"He should be getting here soon. More pumpkins for YOU to carve", she said, smiling at her son.
Claudia, the housekeeper/nanny, walked in and said, "I'm retiring to my bedroom, Makensie. You have a nice night"
"You too, Claudia!", Makensie said.
Cody began coloring, as Makensie walked in the kitchen to fix them both some hot chocolate. In fact, she decided to make enough for Clift too.
As she was fixing that, she could hear Cody humming some song his Dad taught him.
She smiled, and put some water on to boil.
Georgio, her bodyguard/driver had left an hour earlier, something about a hot date. Men!, she thought.
Carlos was gone again, on one of his business trips. She was too scared to ask what he really did for work, but knew that she has to ask one day, if she is going to make a life with him.
She still had feelings for Clift, but she thinks she always would. Just right now, they just couldn't get it together. Cody always was wishing that his father and I would get together, so we could be one big happy family.
As she was lost in her own thoughts, she heard a creak sound, then a thump. Or was that a door slam?
She looked out into the living room, and noticed that Cody wasn't there.
He must've went upstairs to go bathroom, she thought.
The water came to a boil, so she grabbed some cups for her, Cody, and Clift.
She thought it odd that Cody would be taking this long. She didn't know why she found it odd. Any other time, she'd think nothing of it.

"Joey is alright, Clift. Quit being so paranoid. I get along with him just fine", she said.
Clift grumbled, saying, "Yeah, there is no doubt"
They headed in the direction of the shoe shop.
Across the street, in a rusty old beat up truck, he watched them.
Laughing quietly, he said, "Look at them go. Rats in a maze"
The boy was in the back seat, still tied, and still taped over the mouth.
Watching toward the bar, he growled lowly. Joey Bane. He despised him. He forgot that he was a detective friend of Makensie. Before Joey could notice, he started his truck,and slowly drove off.
Spotting Makensie, and that Clift Garret, he pulled over again. Watching. Thinking of what his next step will be.
"This is so fun", he said, with a crazed look in his eye, and a thirst like he's never had before, for the lovely Makensie Brewer.
