The boys were startled by a loud and insistent knocking. The walls seemed to shudder.

Thommo grabbed at Danny’s arm and pulled him in close. ‘What was that?’

Danny nudged him away. ‘Relax, it’s just someone knocking on the door.’

Thommo cast Danny free and shuffled uneasily on the spot. ‘Well done,’ he said, pointing at Danny. ‘You got it right. I was just checking that you had your wits about you, Danny Allen. Living in the city, you need to be able to read any situation.’

The front door opened with the familiar chinking of the chain and squeal of the hinges.

Thommo was the first to poke his head out of the bedroom door.

‘Argh!’ He jumped. ‘Hide! Stay out of sight!’ he hissed, throwing back an outstretched arm to block Sam and Danny’s path. Looking terrified he spun back, pinning himself and his friends against the wall.

‘What’s wrong?’ asked Danny.

‘It’s him!’

‘Who?’

‘The big, bad Caruso guy. He’s standing at the door!’

‘What?’ chorused Danny and Sam.

Despite Thommo’s protests, they took a peek. Thommo was right. The big guy was standing at the door with a huge wicker basket wrapped in clear cellophane with a huge golden ribbon on the handle. He was smiling broadly.

Sam peered through the crack near the hinges of the door. As if suddenly waking from a trance he smiled and shook his head. He patted Thommo on the shoulder and said, ‘You know, you had me going there for a minute, Thommo.’ He moved to the doorway.
