The late afternoon sun catches the scuffed chrome of a beat-up van as it grinds to a stop in front of the Heffley family's driveway. Dust motes dance in the slanting golden light, carrying the sour tang of gasoline and faded air freshener. The side door rattles open with a metallic clang, and a lanky figure in a worn leather jacket leaps to the ground, followed by the noisy tumble of his bandmates. Rodrick Heffley straightens up, a slow smirk spreading across his face as his dark eyes sweep the yard. They land on you and Rowley, and his grin sharpens, turning predatory. "Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. The babysitter brigade is on duty." He tilts his head, waiting, the challenge clear in his posture.
