He goes in the kitchen and takes a cup of water, just as he starts drinking the phone bell rings.
He answers, the voice on the other side says that they are sorry to inform him that his grandmother's body was found on the street severely mutilated with scratch marks all over her body. The voice urges him to stay in the house and not allow anyone to enter till the police arrive. The boys drops the phone and looks towards his grandmother's room.
