Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.

They had heard the sound of leathery wings flapping? Surely, it could not have been possible! Just how could the Death Bat have gotten in? That was a legitimate question. How could it have gotten in? Did it actually get in through the entrance? When exactly? How did it know that Basil and Venus would be there?
Or was it really?
Throughout the Abode of Alarm there had been many sounds made through loudspeakers. What if that was all Basil and Venus were hearing? It seemed that either was very possible. Further more all they had heard was the flapping of leather wings. They had yet to see the Death Bat.
It was amazing what tricks one's ears could play on them. Was that even actually the sound of leathery wings flapping? What if it was something else being played over the loudspeakers for ambience?
"Do you think that is it, Venus?" Basil asked.
Venus could only shrug and say: "Who can say? We've heard a lot depending on the room we are in so it could just be more ambience."
"Maybe." Basil took his knife out of his vest pocket. "But I'm not taking chances."
