When the door finally opens, it's all too easy for the monster to get in. He's not the only one who's scared off by the monster's presence. Shmoop points out that the only way to find out what's going on in the house is to go to a nearby convenience store and find out who the missing people are. Shmoopers, who is totally clueless about the whole "paranormal" thing, says that he saw a figure walking away from the house that night, and he thought he could figure out where they'd been going. He doesn't know if he should have given up on the whole thing, but he's glad that he did, because now he can't help but worry about her safety.
