A Second Knock at the Door Page #3

I thought I might hear

from you again.

Did you get

the package I left you?

Mm-hmm, I did, Jeff.

That is some interesting stuff.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

I'm trying to figure that out,

but I'm afraid if I go to sleep,

I'll never wake up again.

Why exactly did you send me

that package, Jeff?

It's evidence.

I'm not crazy.

They come when you sleep.

Every night, I close my eyes

and they come.

And I'll wiggle my toe

or try and move my arms

just to wake myself up, but it's like

they don't want you to be awake.

Mm. Well, now you're starting

to worry me, Jeff.

How old are you?

- 17.

- 17, I see.

Are your parents around?

Can I talk to them?

My mom works nights.

I'm here alone.

Jeff, if you're afraid,

you should go to a friend's house

- or... I don't know.

- I have a gun.

Uh, what do you need

a gun for?

You can't get away

from them.

Do you understand me?

It's your thoughts.

When you think about them,

that's how they find you.

It's like sharks drawn

to blood in water.

The only question is,

how do you stop thinking

about something?

Uh, Jeff, are you still with us?

- They're here.

- Okay.

Now, uh, just...

just calm down, Jeff.

I want you to call someone.

Uh...

Uh, let's... let's just put

that gun down

and... so we can talk,

because, Jeff,

I know that you are not crazy.

Jeff?

Jeff? Hello?

Yeah, we're gonna go

to a commercial break now

to, uh, make sure

everything's okay.

Now nobody panic.

This could be a hoax.

We will find Jeff and, uh,

make sure that he is all right.

Tired of that slow computer,

those inevitable crashes?

Save costly repairs

and downtime

with the best solution

to your problem...

And I've got a gun here.

Oh, listen, that's... you know,

that's not the answer.

Is there, like, a friend or...

They're in the room right now.

I see them in the room right now.

- What... who is in the room?

- Charlie...

Who's in the room?

Do you want me to call...

oh, my gosh.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Details are very sketchy at this point.

We arrived just about

a half hour ago

and we're told that

the radio host here

took a call from someone

right around 17 years old,

and that person through

the course of the conversation

is heard firing a weapon.

We don't know if that person

fired a weapon,

we don't know if somebody else

in the room fired a weapon,

but a weapon was fired

live on the air.

He didn't kill himself.

He shot the wall.

His parents checked him

into a hospital.

Man, that had me

freaked out.

Yeah, me, too.

He wants to take

your statement now.

Hi, Officer.

People are already speculating

that the call may have been a hoax

in an attempt to boost
