As soon as she got there, she grabbed everything that was on the list, payed for it, and left. As she walked up her street, there were parents calling for their child and locking their doors and windows. Katie looked at her watch and it was 5:56! She could hear:

She forgot about Katie and went to quickly grab the newspaper not noticing the time. She opened the door and there sat a bag of groceries and on the door mat written in blood was:

WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME IN?
