The chapter opens with a description of a young girl who has been missing for two weeks. The girl's name is "little girl" and she was last seen at a record store in Queens, New York. Her father tells the girl not to go anywhere near him because he's not "decent" enough. He also tells her not to drink so much because she's a "sister" and not his own sister. He tells her to go back to her "family" and tells her that his son is missing. He asks a police officer to come and find the girl. The police officer will arrange for the girl to return to her family the next day. The monster tracks the girl down and gets her address in the hills.
