Suddenly they hear a heavy body, dragging a chain, ascending the cellar stairs. Bridge herds them upstairs. At the top of the stairs the terrified Kid drops the flashlight to the floor below, bringing on a sudden and menacing silence. Chapter 4 Bridge orders the Kid to light a match, and as the match flares the Thing begins to move. The Kid stifles a shriek.
Bridge sees an open door.
They enter the room. The Kid faints. Bridge sets the girl on the floor, strikes a second match, and bolts the door as the chain dragging Thing stops just outside. Despite the fact the girl might be shot, Bridge first turns to the Kid. As the chains rattle again, the Kid buries his face in Bridge's shoulder.
