Broken (In A Quiet Town)

A family has moved into the Parker house on the Studio Road in Warrant, where three people disappeared four years ago. The Parker's want it back. They aren't much worried about how they get it, either.

"What were you doing at Parker's place?" Glen asked, scowling at her. "You shouldn't be anywhere near that joint." "I was at Keller's Fabrics three doors down, getting some thread.
