Dave and his family receive a letter from Dave's best friend Steve ,from college,he has released a new toy called hide and seek Emily.
Dave brought Emily home she had something about her that felt wrong. the cat didn't like her ,if you can call it...
I hear the letter box clatter i turn to face my alarm clock "3:00 am" I say to my self "who is delivering a letter to me at 3:00am".
I struggle to get out of bed to go see what it was, i'm still half asleep so I make a lot of noise when i get up. My wife Mary turns over to see me changing from my pyjamas to my work clothes she asks "what are you doing its 3 in the morning"
" I heard the letter box i'm going to check what it is." I reply I hear Mary turn back over and back too sleep. I walk out of our bed room door down the hallway trying not to make to much noise as I was going past my two daughters rooms.
I manage to make my way through the house to the front door. I turn the light on to see a letter on the ground. i pick up the letter and see that its from one of my old friends back in collage my good old friend Steve. I opened the letter immediately and read it.

" I didn't know Steve had a toy company," i said to my self "i better text him back".
I grabbed my phone from my pocket and text him accepting his offer and that we should meet up some time but he doesn't answer strange.
-A FEW HOURS LATER-
As I was getting my daughters ready for school I got a text it was from Steve. "who's texted you daddy" says Katherine
"a friend from collage Katherine." I reply
"daddy," Madi says "whats collage?"
I laugh it off and continue to get her ready for school.
Once Mary takes them to school I look at my phone to see what the menage is: open the door.
why would he send me something like that? I open the door to find a toddler sized doll sitting on my door step I look around and see no one there so I pick it up and take it inside. I put it on the dining room table as I go to make breakfast.
-AFTER DAVE FINISHES HIS BREAKFAST-
I hear a shuffling but I ignore it as I though it was our cat Penny messing around. I go to the dining table to see and empty box whit no doll I look around to not find her anywhere.I turn around to see her standing in the hallway "OK" i thought to my self I picked her up and put her back in the box.
"strange-" I say as I was interrupted by laughter from a little girl.
