Just as she rounds the paved driveway, a car roars down the hill even though Toni calls out for their help. When the door opens, a small child is standing there with tears streaking her cheeks; she is lonely and waiting for ?her new mommy'. Toni is instantly drawn to the precious, beguiling Cindy Merrill, then comes across one person in the house who has been pushed down the cellar steps. Toni covers her up but there is no phone service because of the storm; then she finds that an uncle has died in his bed up on the third floor.
