“No...no....there has to be some mistake..” Heisel prayed, clearing his throat.

“There is no mistake, it has moved Heisel. I don't know how, but it has,” Gertrude said, foam filling the sink.

“What do we do?” he asked, undeniably nervous.

“We have to go out there,” she advised.

“Are you kidding? We need to call the police!” he shouted.

“And say what? That a scarecrow moved on its own? That would just get us locked up and you know it.”

“But what good would it do to go outside?” he asked, convinced they should stay inside and away from it.

“I don't know. Investigate? See if something looks unusual? I mean what if something is wrong with that scarecrow?” Gertrude asked the question Heisel had hoped she wouldn't.

He couldn't believe they were even having this conversation, let alone contemplating the existence of a supernatural entity.

“I.....just....” he stammered, unable to think of anything to say.

“Let me put it this way Heisel,” his attention refocused on her words.

“What if we do nothing, and the next time a kid dies under suspicious circumstances, it's Greta.”

A lightening bolt of bravery and courage suddenly shot through him. Alongside the paternal instinct to protect Greta. Gertrude turned off the tap and dried her hands yet again with the fluffy kitchen towel.

“You know what we have to do, we have to go out and see what's wrong,” she insisted.

Considering the fate of his daughter, and that of innocent children, he went to the back door and began stepping into his work boots. Gertrude followed him and slipped into a pair of brown leather shoes. Both threw on a jacket and unlocked the door. The moment it opened a violent rush of wind howled into the house. Both took a deep breath and left the warmth and safety of their home, and entered the cold uncertainty of the field.
