No one answered the door at the Anderson's apartment when Roger knocked. While it was possible everyone was out, there was a deserted feeling to the place.
He tried the door and found, to his surprise, that it was unlocked. "Hello? Anybody home?"
The apartment was empty. That fool! Surely he realized that he was giving up what small measure of protection he had? Roger checked all the rooms methodically. The only sign that anyone had ever lived here was a doll on the floor of one of the bedrooms.
It lay face down on the carpet, forgotten in the haste to leave. Roger picked it up and a chill went down his spine. Pinned to the front of the dress was a piece of paper with the words "Help me."
