everyone walked in the kitchen ready to eat when gus came back from the door with none "where's the pizza's?"tracy asked "i don't know wasn't the pizza boy at the door"gus replied unbothered "who was it then"tracy asked before gus started to explain how he basically turned down the electrician "maybe we can catch up to him"tracy said before everyone rushed out but couldn't catch up so they went to the living room.

"is anyone's phone working?"tracy asked walking in "i've got no signal"liam replied "nope dead"effy said trying to turn on her phone "it's the storm"gus added "why you asking"lily asked "now the land lines dead too"tracy said before sitting down "but if we can't get ahold of the electrician we'll have to electricity for like the whole night"carmen replied "when's mike getting back"johnny asked "i don't know,said he won't be too long"tracy said unsure "he's been gone for um 1 hour 14 minutes does that count as long"gus replied looking at his watch.

"maybe something bad's happened to him"carmen said "i'm more worried about the pizza's this delivery guys never late"effy said making everyone giggle "well the escaped prisoner might have got him it was on the radio saying he's on the run somewhere near here"carmen added "he could be outside now,what if he got hungry so he attacked the delivery boy and took our pizza's"johnny replied "don't worry johnny i'll protect you"tyler said putting his arm around him whilst everyone giggled.

"i'm not scared you idiot i'm just joking"johnny replied moving tyler's hand "look i'm sure there's a perfect reasonable explanation,mike will be back soon"tyler told everyone "and in the meantime we can have ice cream"tracy added "then what are we gonna do,sit here in the dark bored"liam asked "uh no use your imagination,power cut stormy night perfect time to tell some ghost story's"tracy said before leaving.

"fight"everyone repeated shouting whilst liam tried stopping johnny from getting tyler "my moneys on tyler"elektra shouted until tracy ran in grabbing johnny "what are you doing"tracy shouted "what am i doing? he keeps talking interrupting my story making up jokes"johnny shouted back "all i said was we've heard it before,woman alone in the car blah blah,stranger bangs on her window blah blah,but he's only trying to warn her about the escaped lunatic on her back seat"tyler replied "now you've totally ruined it"johnny shouted "a story that everyone knows"tyler shouted back "yeah go on then if your so clever tell us a scary story we haven't heard bet you haven't got one"johnny asked.

"actually i have and it's all true though it's still difficult to talk about the night,the night the electrician came to my house we had a power cut total darkness but before he got the chance to call anyone there was a knock at the door and a voice said it's the electrician and laughed a nasty evil laugh the door opened and then he said gotcha"tyler said in a scary voice "aahh"everyone screamed moving back "sorry,johnny if it's a bit too scary for you down here maybe you should go to bed"tyler added "i weren't scared"johnny replied.

"tracy"liam shouted for her to come downstairs "it was like this when we found it"liam added looking at the open door "i locked this before we went to sleep,who did this has someone gone out?"tracy asked closing the door "no one got out,who got in perhaps the electrician came back for you tyler"johnny replied "it's ok johnny it's just a made up story"tyler said "i know that i was just-"johnny said before getting cut off by tee "maybe mike came back and forgot to close the door"tee added.
