Jillian!
Jillian did you hear that?
...go away...
Jillian I heard a sound!
So what? Go back to bed.
I can't sleep now.
Well I can.
What's with the flashlight?
Oh Ieft it in the hall, didn't you see it?
There's so much stuff laying around this house, I doubt I'd notice it.
Daddy, what's in that one room in the hall?
There's a lot of rooms in that hall...which one?
The one door that we never open. What's in there?
Oh that room. That's like a utility closet
It's just like pipes and some furnace stuff in there.
Why can't we go in there?
Oh you don't want to go in there Addie, that's a dangerous room. You should just stay out.
What if you were there, could you show me?
No, I don't want to take you in there Addie.
It's really dirty and I just don't want that dust to come out into the house
let's just leave that door closed.
Daddy, if I tell you something, will you not get mad at me?
Well that depends what you tell me. How am I supposed to know?
I heard a sound and I woke up last night, and I saw some things that I don't understand.
Well what'd you see?
That's what I'm worried you might get mad about.
I don't think I'm gonna get mad at you just because you saw something
It's not like you did something...what'd you see?
It was you Daddy, you were in the hallway.
There's nothing weird about that, I'm in the hallway a lot.
You were sitting on the floor in front of that door, and then you got up and left.
Really? I don't remember that.
And whenever you left there was this tray there...and a fork...and a plate cover.
That's kinda weird. That sounds almost like a dream Addie, are you sure you weren't just dreaming?
No, I really was there. I dropped my flashlight because I got scared and it was still there this morning.
You got scared? What'd you see that scared you so much?
I don't really want to talk about that part, Daddy.
Okay, you don't have to.
But, it really does sound like it was just a dream. Maybe you were sleepwalking.
I just thought whatever's behind that door might have something to do with it...I don't know.
Addie, what's on the other side of that door just needs to be left alone.
Okay, but why did you put the--
Addie this house does so much for us and it asks for so little in return
Just don't go beyond that door, okay?
All right.
What's with the flashlight?
I left it in the hallway last night
Daddy says I was sleepwalking, but I think something weirder's going on.
What happened?
You know that locked door in the hallway?
Oh, you mean the furnace room?
Yeah, have you ever actually been in there?
Daddy says we're not supposed to go in there. Ever.
Aw, are you telling me that you've never been in there?
Well I tried going in there a couple times, but the door was always locked.
Why are you trying to go in there?
There's something weird about that door. Did you ever notice Daddy leaving things outside it before?
No. What kind of things?
Like a food tray or something?
You sure you're not thinking of a hotel, Addie? Sounds like room service to me.
It definitely wasn't room service.
I just don't understand why this has to be a big mystery.
Daddy says don't go in that room, the door's locked, I don't know why you have to complicate things.
It's just bugging me now that there's this room in my house that I'm not allowed to go into
and Daddy's acting all weird about it
Parents make a lot of rules, sometimes we don't agree with them, but I don't see the point in fighting it
I don't know.
There's someone in here!
Someone open the door!
Addie, did you go in there?
Addie, how do we get out of here?
It needs more, Jillian. It always needs more.
