A semi-truck comes racing up our driveway toward our house, then slams on the brakes and skids to a jack-knife stop, not striking anything, but completely encircling my truck, which is parked right in front of the garage, and stopping in a cloud of dust. Then it starts circling the house, perhaps with some other trucks, being very noisy and menacing. I go to the front door to lock it, but the locks have no features on the inside of the door - it's completely flat and smooth. I have to go outside to lock the door, and I don't want to do that. There's somebody out there. I try to just block the door closed.

Then I'm in a car with Scott, who becomes Mark, and we're driving to the house of his friend, who he thinks can help us, but I'm aware that we've left Vera and Victoria back at the house with the trucks, and we should be there helping to keep them safe, but we keep driving farther and farther away.

We get to the house of his friend, and he asks us to take off our shoes, and I start to do so, but then he says to wear these something, like "black knights" or something, which I don't understand, but he throws a couple of playing cards down on the step where we are sitting to take off our shoes. I already removed my socks, but I put them back on, thinking that he's saying to put the playing cards in our socks, but Mark is ahead of me and he puts the cards in his socks, but there are only two. What remains are two tiny vinyl bags, each holding about a tablespoon of coffee beans. Am I supposed to put these in my socks?
