It was late, almost midnight and dark outside

...and unexpectedly, a tap at the door almost a scratch, so quiet thought i had imagined it - then the doorbell rang and the phone and doorbell rang at the same time then silence for a moment, then the doorbell and phone kept ringing, again silence then finally heard a car drive away but only a little way up the lane then the phone rang again

though very scared, picked up - a small cross voice:
"Its the pizza delivery man"
