To ensure that I didn't alert the clowns, I made a hushing sound as soon as I entered the room.

The kids caught a whiff of my scent and quietened down.

"Sir, why did you come here again? What are those bad people doing next door? They're making so much noise. Are they trying to capture you?" the little girl who had beautiful blue eyes asked in a curious voice.
