Miranda: (thinking to self) Doesn't look like anyone's home. Good.
Miranda: What IS this stuff.... ewwww... spider web. Only the creepy sisters could make creepy snow. Ewww.
Miranda: Nope, doesn't look like anyone is around. And their porch light is on, so they probably won't be back until after dark. Gives me plenty of snooping around time. Good. Good.
(whimper)
Miranda: What the? Baxter? Is that you? You poor puppy! Here, hang on.
Miranda: Let's get you out of there. Playing with Fluffy, hu?
Baxter: Grrrrr.
Miranda: Okay. Come on, Baxter. Let's go find my brother, okay?
Baxter: Woof!
Miranda: Hello creepy dark house...
Miranda: Not that I'm sure it's any LESS creepy with the lights on. Come on, Baxter. Let's take a look upstairs.
Miranda: Surprise, another creepy hallway. Would they have put him up on the second floor?... unlikely, he's up in that attic... with the bars in the window... but why ARE there bars...? I wonder where the stairs to the attic are?
Miranda: Creepy bedroom. No stairs.
Miranda: Oh, for Pete's sake. Even the bathroom is kind of creepy.
(sounds of Baxter barking in the hall)
Miranda: What is it, Lassie? Timmy trapped in a mine shaft behind this door?
Baxter: WOOF WOOF WOOF!
Miranda: Okay, okay. I'm looking.
Miranda: Congratulations, Baxter, you have discovered the creepiest room in the house so far: creepy storage room.
Baxter: (snort) woof!
Miranda: What? Oh.... lookie there, attic stairs... with a metal bar across them? They really ARE keeping someone prisoner in the attic! And I'll bet Devika really DID see Sebastian! Good dog, Baxter!
Baxter: Woof!
