You run out of the house as fast as your tired feet will carry you, and flee into the night...
You make it back to the car as morning finally arrives. A police cruiser finds you walking near the car and jabbering to yourself. You are brought back to the city and questioned, before being handed over for a mental evaluation. Your claims are looked into, but no house is found!

At least you made it.
