Lightning Strikes the Smith's Residence - 3

4:25 P.M.

Daniel went around the house; the storm was getting worse yet again. There was a lot of thunder and a lot of lightning. What was Dan doing? He was doing a head count. There were four people he could not find anywhere in the house. He was already aware that Charlie and his father Bruce would be outside, they were having a meeting in the backyard in five minutes, but why they were there now was beyond Dan.

The other two people missing were his 81-year-old father and Johnson. He checked every room, including the attic and the basement, but nothing. The Prodes minus Alex came to him.

Catherine and Brain were huffing and puffing, they had sped around the house in search for the missing people.

“Are they anywhere?” Dan asked.

“I saw Charlie in a raincoat leaving via the backdoor, he was wearing large rubber gloves.” Brain said.

“The clown ones from his suitcase?” Dan asked.

“Those are the ones.”

“Did he say why he wore those?”
