Drew hated living in the city. He was happy when they made him postmaster in a small rural area in Ohio. At first, he was concerned about raising his children in the area after finding six pictures of missing children in a drawer at the Post Office. It was comforting when he learned that the pictures dated as far back as 1950 and he assumed there was no danger to his own children at the present time. He loved the old farm house they were renting. However, he was concerned for the safety of the homeless family, and their children, who moved into the old brick house across the creek. It was not a safe environment for the children he saw playing inside the abandoned house.
