Plot
While the Freaks were walking around near the rivers, Allen accidently finds a lost dirty backpack. The Freaks try to find out who it belongs to, but none of them have any clue. Allen states that it may have belonged to one of the missing kids in Rowland.

Robbie is having a ride on his bike in town. Suddenly, he not knowingly gets ambushed by Jason Gerzels and his gang. They drag him along in an alley and torment him.

While the Freaks were walking after being by the rivers, Nate stops them and says that he sees a bike lying down by the edge of the side walks. Paolo is alerted and recognizes the bike whom belongs to his younger brother. The Freaks hear Robbie's scream coming from an alley as they run to help.

As Robbie is about to get hit by a baseball bat Jason was armed with, Amato stops him in time by throwing a garbage lid at him. Giving Robbie a chance to run and side by the Freaks. Jason warns the Freaks that he wants Robbie today before he torments them too. Allen insults him leading to a melee fight between the Gerzels Gang and the boys.

One of the Gerzels members Gary Terrence and Randell Barkins retreat. Before all the other Gerzels members left as well, leaving only a bruised Jason lying at the end of the alley. All the Freaks including Robbie leave.

Outside the Rowland Town Hall, all the Freaks including Robbie who is now a member of the Freaks Club discuss by the staircases. Allen, Nate, Luke, Paolo, Amato, Pearson and Freddie Kellie recount their encounters with Hamptus the demonic clown. However, Robbie tells them that he was the only one who did not encounter him once. Although he still wonders why the kids in Rowland went missing.

Allen thinks that Hamptus may be the reason why the kids in Rowland went missing, as the police found no other clues to why they did. Paolo remembers once when he was in the Rowland Public Library, he was reading the History Book of Rowland and saw Hamptus in one of the pages, leading to the discovery that Hamptus has been in Rowland ever since it was founded.

Allen tries to set up a plan to find a way to stop Hamptus, he tells the Freaks to meet him all at his house by 7pm.

Later in the evening, all the Freaks meet Allen in his bedroom. Allen takes out a map that shows every of Rowland in it. According to what he saw once in his childhood, there is an undergroundcave near the end of the rivers. All of the cave has so many different paths, so the Freaks will have to stick together to not lose each other or get lost.

While he was explaining the plan, Freddie notices Hamptus appearing in one of Allen's posters. Freddie tries to alert the Freaks, but they are too busy on the plan. Freddie yells louder to get their attention, when suddenly behind the poster starts dripping blood. The Freaks stare in shock, noticing Hamptus smiling on their poster. When the lights go off, Hamptus teleports inside of Allen's room in an enormous version again with the wide teeth revealing mouth. Hamptus runs at each of them and tries to kill them. Nate is grabbed by Hamptus, as he opens his mouth and tries to bite him. Allen turns the light off and back on, making Hamptus vanish out of nowhere.

Each of the Freaks ride back home on their bikes terrified.

The morning, Allen is in school. During lunch, he was shoved up the wall by Jason and his gang, who wanted revenge very badly on him after the Alley fight. Allen notices Hamptus waving and smiling at him by the trees. Frightened, he tries to escape but is tripped onto the ground by Jason. He is repeatedly kicked. Before being saved by Freddie, Luke and Pearson.

After class, Allen runs into Amato in the school hallway. Amato asks if he wants to come with her after school to get ice cream, Allen accepts and asks if they should do the plan after getting ice cream. But after what happened the other day, Amato advises that it sounds too risky and they should wait until they are ready, Allen agrees.

In the afternoon, Allen rides Amato to the ice cream shop. They buy their favorite flavored ice creams, play games at the arcade and spin around on the roundabout at the local park. Getting to know each other more and enjoying spending their time together.

After a few minutes, Allen calls the Freaks if they are ready to do the plan. He waits for them outside of the cave where they all meet up. As each stand and look amongst the darkness, they are about to see where their fears came from.
