Chapter 3: An Empty House

Ephram and Amy hurried inside Ephram's grandparents to escape the storm that was brewing. They put their stuff down in the foyer and walked inside the magnificent Brownstone. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, they were greeted by an empty and dark house. From what they could tell so far, the house was deserted.

Amy: Didn't you say they'd be here?

Ephram: Yea, that's what Grandma told me on the phone. She said (imitating a high pitched female voice), "We'll be home when you get here and have a great trip, sweetheart."

At this imitation, Amy started giggling and had to compose herself by drinking a glass of water.

Ephram: It wasn't that funny. (He said about hiss imitation, but then started laughing too.)

Amy: We should go look for your grandparents. (She said putting her hand on his shoulder.)

Ephram: Yea, I'll look upstairs and you look down here.

The two went their separate ways to look for Ephram's grandparents.
