Home Alone : Would you answer the door?

Tweet

I was walking toward the kitchen just a few minutes ago when I started to hear a banging coming from the front door. The banging was followed by the sounds of the doorbell. Now let me explain the layout of this area of the house before I go on. The hallway ends at the dining room, but there is a small area called the foyer, where the front door is. The foyer has two entrances into the main house, one comes out on the hallway, the other in the dining area. This means the foyer has two full walls and two partial walls, divided by the doorways. One wall has the front door, which has a few parts of the shade missing, but not enough for anyone to see in unless they kneeled down to do so. If they kneeled down, I would be able to see them looking in. I hid where the corner angles outward, so not in the foyer but between the hallway and living room. Following me so far? I then went into the kitchen, which is just off the dining room. My movements were slow so as to not cause a creaking sound. The person kept knocking, but it wasn't until I heard the same type noise coming from the sliding glass door of the kitchen, that I reacted. I walked to the other side of the kitchen, away from the sliding glass door (Which they couldn't see through). When I looked out the window there, I saw the car in the driveway. It had "Duke Power" on it. I walked outside and hollered out a "hello". The person came around from the back, which is where the meter box is. He instructed me on what to do and then went back to the task at hand. I called my uncle and by the time I was off the phone with him, the guy had done what he came to do and left. My heart race was still up. All is well now, and there was no real threat, but it sure seemed like it by their vicious knocking!
