As they pulled up to the house in Rachel’s old car, Maddie noticed that theirs was the only car in the parking lot. Before they opened the front door, they saw lights flickering on and off in an upstairs window. “They’re just doing this to set the mood,” said Rachel. “It’s just someone with a couple of flashlights, and the other cars are probably all parked around back.” She turned the doorknob and opened the creaky front door.
