"Woah! You have security cameras?"
Grace had lead them to a closed off room in the corner of the house that was hidden away. She had opened the door to a supposed linen cupboard and revealed cameras showing different views of inside and outside her house. Andy and Edward gazed up in brief amazement, before realising this was quite familiar.
"You never can be too careful," she pressed a few buttons and one of the views enlarged. "Especially now, as there is a creepy guy chasing you."
The camera showed the inventor's son standing at the front door with Chelsea. He was scowling, peering through the peephole in the door, but when he noticed Chelsea looking at him, he tried to seem less like a murderer.
"Is he seriously back already?" Andy frowned. "What are we going to do?"
Grace thought for a moment, sliding the screens back behind the doors.
"I'll go out and talk to them... and you guys can hide."
"That's not going to work! He knows we're still here." She said back.
"Does he though? Look, I'll make it seem like you've just head off toward the castle, but I'll be really subtle about it." Grace hurried to the doorway. "Come on, there's a cupboard you can hide in in the basement."
She grabbed them by their wrists and led them down the stairs and into the basement, which looked like it hadn't been touched for years. There was a round bench in the corner with empty shelves behind it, but it was covered in dust.
Grace pointed to the cupboard.
"You want us to go in there?" Andy made a disgusted face.
"It's the best hiding place in the whole house! Even if someone did come down here they'd go straight back up." She opened the doors of the cupboard and a billow of dust came out. She spat, dusted her shoulders off and gestured for them to get inside.
They did so very reluctantly. It wasn't that big of a cupboard, and combined with having scissors for hands, it wasn't entirely comfortable.
"Remind me to slap her when I get my hands back." Andy mumbled. She searched for Edward in the dark and only saw the glint off his eyes from the sliver of light that made its way inside.
A loud bang came from upstairs, then the stomping of feet. Someone was coming down the stairs - three someones. They could hear Grace trying to frantically steer them away, but he was onto their scent like a hunting dog tracks down rabbits.
