Checking It Out
Simon immediately felt wide awake, holding his breath as he listened. Nothing. He was just about to relax when he heard it again. As he lay there in the dark he heard the unmistakable sound of gravel scraping over metal, coming from outside.
He carefully snuck over to his window and peered outside. However, instead of finding the source of the sound as he hoped, he saw nothing in his garden below and the sound was gone too. He shrugged it off and went back to bed, clueless as to what was happening right under his feet.
