Everyone was sleeping soundly until there was a crash from downstairs.

"Jack? Did you hear that? " Jackie's eyes widened as she shot up.

"Yeah I think we better go wake up everyone! " Jack and Jackie bolted towards the door and out the hall only to run into Kathleen, Tedd, Lee, Joe, Bobby, and Ethel.

"Bobby? Ethel?  When did you get here? " Jack asked.

"An hour ago! " Bobby said.

"12:00 a.m? " Jack was dumbfounded by how late they came but let it go.

"We have to wake up Mom and Dad! " Tedd went. Then there was another crash and Joe Sr. and Rose came out of their room obviously confused.

"Was that first crash not for you guys? " Joe asked.

"No. " They all answered.

"Stay up here all of you! " Joe said.

"I'm coming! " Jack said.

"And me! " said Bobby.

"Same here! " said Tedd and Joe Jr.

"No! I'll have Jack and Bobby come. That's it! " Jack, Joe and, Bobby headed downstairs and saw a large shadowed figure by a broken window.

"I hope they don't get hurt! " Kathleen said starting to cry.

"Me too honey. " Rose said as everyone crowded in for a large hug.

Back down stairs Joe handed his sons a bat,  abd a frying pan. They approached the figure little by little. At one point it moved and got tall.

They knew it was a man because they saw a small glimpse of his face from the moonlight as he stood.

"On three we hit him over the head. " Joe whispered to his son's as they peered around a corner.

"One. " Joe started.

"Two. " Bobby continued.

"Three! " The three took off and hit the man over the head.
