Lori was happy when the owner of the house agreed to "work something out" instead of calling the cops after she accidentally hit his fence with her car. He seemed like a nice guy and she couldn't believe the rumors that a "monster" lived in that house. That was until they were alone and he transformed.
Lori had such a great time "paying back" the fence she broke that she didn't want it to come to an end. Fortunately for Lori, the monster always wanted a "pet".
