My friend Kiki and I love to go exploring, and we know our neighbourhood well.
As we left school, we chatted about places to explore that day.

We decided to cut across the big empty field near the old railway.
Even though Kiki’s father had warned us not to walk there.

On that day, we noticed that a tall man in a long black coat was walking slowly behind us.

We slowed down to look at the man. His skin was full of pimples. His lips were too small to cover his dark brown teeth. He had a deep scar across half his face.

The man was following us!
